Sharpshooter PvE End Game Build
Below is a good basic PvE Build using the Sharpshooter. Unlike other classes, the skills really change based on the class engravings. It is generally a good build all types of content such as Chaos Dungeons, Tower Event, and Quests, Guardian Raids, and Abyss Dungeons.
The Skill Build below doesn’t change depending on which Class Engraving you choose.
Sharpshooter PvE Skills & Tripods
Below is a chart of the best skills to use for the Sharpshooter. This Sharpshooter skill list is good for both Class Engraving playstyles and across all forms of content. If you do not have enough skill points yet, remove points from sharp shooter and arrow shower
Alternatives:
- Arrow Wave (Tripods 1-1-1) or Claymore Mine (Tripods 1-1-1) instead of Arrow Shower.
This build requires 300 Skill Points which will require the collecting a few extra Skill Points in Shushire and Rohendel.

Sharpshooter Death Strike Stat Priority
In this build, you do not need Swiftness for the Pistol Abilities and buffs from the Tripods make up for it. Therefore, your stats should be more focused on Crit. Secondly, Specialization for increased damage across all weapons.
Sharpshooter Loyal Companion Stat Priority
In this build, maximize Crit as much as possible as your primary stat. Specialization will be the secondary stat. Aim for a ratio of roughly 75/25, respectively. However since the goal is to maintain constant uptime on the debuff from Last Rush, you may want to increase the Specialization to make sure you are able to get use Last Rush as soon as the debuff wears off.
Sharpshooter PvP Build
In Player versus Player Arenas, Sharpshooters typically play the role of an “Assassin”. The biggest threat in their toolkit is the Salvo ability with Tripod 3: Stealthy Movement. This gives Sharpshooters a 3 second stealth every 12 seconds. They are also extremely mobile, and have high damage, they indeed pose a big threat to oblivious players.
Defensive Abilities:
- Moving Slash (mobility)
- Salvo (Stealth)
- Claymore Mine (Stun)
- Stalker (mobility)
PvP Stats
- 1000 Swiftness
- 249 Domination
- 1 Crit
Sharpshooter PvP Skills & Tripods
Feel free to change whatever skills you like depending on your playstyle and how you see fit.
The playstyle of the sharpshooter is vastly different in PVP than from PvE. Largely focusing on melee damage assassinations. This is due to the Stealth gained from the skill Salvo.
A good combo available with this build include:
- Salvo (stealth) >
- Claymore Mine (Stun) >
- Moving Slash (gap close) >
- Blade Storm > Charged Shot > Atomic Arrow (all very rapid succession)
- Summon Silver Hawk >
- Salvo (stealth) >
- Moving Slash (gap close) >
- Blade Storm > Charged Shot > Atomic Arrow (all very rapid succession)
- Atomic Arrow (knock down) >
- Snipe (knock down) >
- Last Rush (finisher)
A Variation on the below build (adds utility but less overall damage):
- Swapping Atomic Arrow and reducing Moving Slash to Level 7 for Shadow Arrow (1-3-1) Tripod 2: Shadow of Abyss provides a short debuff that reduces the enemies vision by creating a vary obtrusive black vignette on the screen, obscuring players positions. Tripod 3: Shadow Tracking causes the projectile to home in on the target.
Below is a general Sharpshooter PvP build that is a great foundation to build upon.
| Icon | Skill Name | Skill Level | Tripods | Notes |
 | Atomic Arrow | 7 | 2 1 | Damage, Knock down Tripod 2: Heavy Bomb – decrease target move speed |
| Moving Slash | 10 | 3 1 1 | Mobility |
| Blade Storm | 10 | 1 1 2 | Damage Tripod 2: Poison Blade – Damage over Time |
 | Claymore Mine | 10 | 1 2 1 | Tripod 2: Thunderbolt – 1.5s Stun |
| Charged Shot | 10 | 3 1 1 | High Damage |
 | Salvo | 10 | 3 1 1 | Tripod 3: Stealthy Movement – 3s Invisibility |
 | Stalker | 7 | 3 2 | Mobility Tripod 2: Tenacity – Push Immunity |
| Snipe | 10 | 3 2 2 | High Damage Tripod 3: Tenacity – Push Immunity |
