Introduction
The Scrapper is Lost Ark's beefiest fighter class, throwing herself at the enemy with her speed and disruptive abilities makes her a nuisance to the opponent.
In PvP, Scrapper's unique identity offers great versatility. Managing Shock and Stamina energy properly, coupled with low cooldowns, allows her to keep up constant pressure on backline characters. Two dashes for her Spacebar leaves plenty of room for massive outplay potential. While mostly focused on a hit and run playstyle, she is able to stick to a target if necessary. If given the opportunity, she can even dish out great damage.
This article assumes you have a Character with a minimum level of 26 before transitioning to it. Check out the Scrapper Leveling and 1-50 Leveling guides to reach Level 26.

Core Skills
- Charging Blow is your main mobility and engagement tool.
- Fierce Tiger Strike is used to extend combos with Knock Up as well as providing you with Shock Meter whenever needed.
- Chain Destruction Fist is a heavy hitting channeling skill that offers great damage and provides Push Immunity with Tenacity. Cancel out of it with Spacebar to avoid incoming Crowd Controls, since you are still vulnerable to them.
- Roundup Sweep is a short cooldown skill with medium attack range. It's great for catching people off guard as well as generating Stamina Meter.
- Death Rattle is your main damage skill with Push Immunity if used with Tenacity. The damage output depends on the amount of accumulated Shock energy when casting it.
- Instant Hit is your Hard Crowd Control skill that has a 4 meter dash with Tracking Instinct. It's excellent for catching opponents to unleash your combo on them. Beware that the skill does not posses Paralysis Immunity, so it gets canceled by any breeze of fresh air that touches you.
- True Rising Fist is a holding skill that has two instances of damage; the initial hit provides a Knock Up while the final hit provides a Knock Down. Often used as a combo skill paired with Charging Blow or as a peel tool for teammates in need of help.
- Dragon Advent is a leap attack that does a Knock Up upon landing. It provides Push Immunity when used with Tenacity as well as being a good mobility option when things get rough. It's great against classes that try to protect themselves from your engagement pre-emptively.

GvG is more chaotic than Arena battles, so you rarely have the opportunity to do long combos. This mode is more about zoning/interrupting objectives and assisting allies. Do your best to coordinate with your team and stick together. Refer to 3v3 section for more gameplay tips.
