Here I would like to introduce Aeromancer class. As indicated in Lost Ark global roadmap, they will release Aeromancer in August of this year. I thought it would be great to first understand Aeromancer’s mechanics and preferences on your Lost Ark journey.
Before I start this guide, you must know one thing. This guide is based on a KR server and is based on KR statistics and current general experience. Since Lost Ark has been working hard to restore the balance between the various occupations. Therefore, the composition of some skills in the future can also be changed.
Basic
Aeromancer is actually a fairly old profession in Lost Ark. However, after KR PTR Balance Patch, her damage performance was nerfed. Especially her Weather Concept Engraving. Probably most players will be more familiar with Drizzle.
Her Identity Skills are Sun Shower. Her Identity Skills are fairly passive and also affect other players’ damage performance and her own. But during the normal run of her Identity Skills, she gives you and your teammates a very useful buff.
But as far as her personal experience is concerned, her positioning is quite vague. She’s not as powerful a DPS class, but also has a bit of vague synergy. Maybe you will feel more different.
Class Engraving
Let’s start with the coverage of Class Engraving. Class Engraving I used in this guide is Storm’s Fury. This Class Engraving not only changes Aeromancer’s fighting style but also her Synergy and Identity Skills effects.
Storm’s Fury will remove effects that affect enemies and reduce Drizzle’s uptime and area. But it grants attack and movement speed buffs to you and your allies. And to increase your crit chance, your crit damage will increase by percentage based on your movement speed.
Combat Stat
Speaking of combat stats, I think Aeromancer has a lot of variations to choose from. But let’s put those changes aside, and I’ll show you the most representative battle stats setup for Aeromancer from Lost Ark Journey.
The most iconic build of KR today is Storm Fury Aeromancer. Because she has the highest combat stats by far. With Hallucination Set, Combat Attributes, Engraving and Identity Skills, they almost guaranteed that she has a 70% to 80% crit rate. So most of the time we use the full speed build for smooth gameplay.
In fact, there isn’t much to comment on about this build. Since she’s quite capable, well behaved, and fast, she’s easy to pick up and use even for beginners. Lost Ark doesn’t have a back attack type class. Therefore, Storm Fury Aeromancer is easier to access and control the complete team or the interior of many content.
If you find her Swiftness Accessories a little pricey, you can mix it with Critical Accessories, but I don’t recommend it. We call this build a half Swiftness and Critical build.
One problem though is that this build is depend on critical damage, aka the yellow number. From my personal experience, when the white numbers appear, we die. So, if you’re really missing Pheons and Lost Ark Gold, or you just want to try Aeromancer in other trumpets, I recommend this build.
One thing I know for sure about Aeromancer is that she has a fairly modest build in everything. And she has a good control experience and skill mechanism, as well as a moderate performance in the team.
Her mechanics are not as difficult to understand as other classes. No matter what you do with Aeromancer, she’ll make for a moderate or decent experience on your trip to Lost Ark.

Preference
If you’re expecting some strong damage-handling classes from Aeromancer, then this class probably isn’t for you. Because the positioning of Aeromancer is more like sub-damage, synergy class.
If you’re expecting some strong damage output like Punisher Slayer or Igniter Sorceress, like I said, this isn’t for you.
Aeromancer can also build more variations. She has excellent and fluid controls and is easy to use with her skill set. Her skills and mechanics are more structured than other speed-based characters.
As I’ve always mentioned, she can not deal with massive damage, but is a dominant class to deal with sub-damage and synergy dealer. So, if you were expecting an Aeromancer like Igniter Sorceress, you can’t get what you want from here.
Why Is Aeromancer Still Popular?
I think Aeromancer’s preference might be summed up like this. One, you can use any configuration you want. Two, there isn’t that much desire to occupy a MVP screen, and there are some middling damage performances. Third, excellent control experience and good skill practicality.
So, if you want some gentle character but don’t want to be a support and can adapt to control and raid gimmicks, then this role is for you. So, what’s at the heart of Storm’s Fury’s mechanics?
Mechanism
First, Storm’s Fury will produce Airflow and cast Reflux. This second skill belongs to the suit and becomes Aeromancer’s shield. When the shield is generated, use both Reflux and the current skill. While the shield is functioning normally, it increases the damage of Reflux skill. Therefore, it is more like the connection between the instant damage plus damage skill and the fundamental skill.
Anyway, that concludes today’s preview and discussion of Aeromancer class and related builds. Hope to see this alternative course globally soon. Also hope this guide is a little helpful for your Lost Ark journey.
