Welcome to the Scrapper, an advanced class under the Martial Artist class. Once known as Infighter, the Scrapper is a release class for Lost Ark in NA/EU. It is similar in many ways to the other fighter classes, except the Scrapper comes with two huge fists for punching your enemies.

The Scrapper has some decent damage output, as well as huge Stagger buffs for you and your party. This is a mechanic that lets you stagger bosses for potential big damage bursts - it's what makes the Scrapper a lot of fun to play. Here's our rundown and overview.

Scrapper Class Overview

The Scrapper is a big, punchy class with a lot of damage and utility - namely what we mentioned above, the Stagger buffs. Stagger is a mechanic in Lost Ark that allows players to knock down enemies and bosses. The Scrapper has this on the class' abilities as well as buffs for their teammates.

In short, the Scrapper applies buffs to herself and teammates and applies debuffs to the boss. Walk in, punch the boss to pieces (your kit has a lot of push/stagger resistance), and repeat.

In terms of the Scrapper's gauge, she has two: a Yellow bar and a Green bar. Yellow skills boost the yellow bar, green boosts the green bar. These are Stamina and Shock skills. The skills do different things, usually determined by your Engravings. We will go into detail about this below.

Pros

Great damage output, and fairly sustained damage
Lots of Stagger - essential for clearing some boss Stagger checks
Lots of Super Armor for sticking close to the boss

Cons

Two unique playstyles that depend on your Engraving, which means a bit of a learning curve
You need to hit your self buffs, otherwise the class is pretty weak
Managing the identity gauge is a bit more complicated than just button mashing

As you can see, the abilities of the Scrapper are split right down the middle with these Engravings. Here's a very brief overview of both playstyles.

Taijutsu - Fast-paced, lots of button mashing, high mobility. With the right combo of moves/mobility, you can survive for a pretty long time. Low cooldowns with a lot of spammed abilities and buffs.
Shock Training - Lots of hard-hitting skills with longer cooldowns, a balanced playstyle of attack, buff, mobility, repeat. A pretty powerful burst damage window.

Suggested Engravings For The Scrapper

Here are some suggested Engravings to run alongside your class Engraving. You will notice these are fairly similar if you've already looked at other class overviews for the Martial Artist role.

Grudge	Increases damage by 20 percent for Boss or above monsters. Essential for a PvE build.
Cursed Doll	Attack power increase of 16 percent at max level, which reduces incoming healing by 25 percent. This is also essential for that massive attack damage boost.
Spirit Absorption	Attack and move speed increased by 15 percent. Lots of fun in Martial Artist classes.
Master Of Ambush	Like many of the fighter classes, a lot of the Scrapper's roster of attacks are backstabbing. Best to take this engraving to boost their damage. 25 percent extra damage for successful back attacks.

Mysterious Art: Blast of Ruination - This large AoE attack knocks enemies back and deals damage depending on how close/how far the enemies are from the shockwave.
