What should you consider when picking a relic set for your Shadowhunter build in Lost Ark? And which is the best option for Vykas clear? In this article, we are going to give some tips and advice on the best Shadowhunter gear including the Lost Ark Shadowhunter relic set and legendary set (Argos & Valtan gear). 

Lost Ark Shadowhunter Relic Set & Legendary Set - Best Shadowhunter Gear 

Dreamt recommended going for the relic set that you are planning on making times four and eventually times six so that you save time and you don’t have to wait until you’ve done the fifth Vykas to use the relic set transformation system. The best Vykas Normal Prog Set under ilvl 1445 would be Demon Beast + Preordained Diligence. 

Gear Option 1: 4 Set Demon Beast + 2 Set Poem of Salvation

If you have been completing Valtan, the first of your Lost Ark gear choices is to be a full damage amp 4-piece Demon Beast legendary set and 2-piece Poem of Salvation relic set, which respectively gives you +20% Dmg Amp and +14% Dmg Amp. You could also technically be two times Hallucination as the relic part of this set, however Demon Beast and Salvation work the exact same way. So if you're keeping one up, you're keeping the other up.

Gear Option 2: 2 Set Preordained Diligence + 2 Set Demon Beast + 2 Set Poem of Salvation

The second choice you have is to be half amp and half crit, you would be in two times legendary Argos Preordained Diligence (+15% crit rate), two-piece Demon Beast set (+10% Dmg Amp) and two-piece relic Salvation (+14% Dmg Amp) or Hallucination set.

Which gear set combination to pick for Shadowhunter?

Which one of these sets to pick is depending on what your current crit rate is. If you have crit as the secondary skill on your necklace along with demonic impulse 3 and adrenaline 2 or 3, you definitely want to go full damage amp set, however, if you have swiftness on your necklace or you aren't running adrenaline 2 or 3, then you're going to want to put the crit rate back into your build by holding on to two-piece Argos.

Salvation and Hallucination, which is the best Shadowhunter relic set? The highest DPS set is Salvation, however, if you are going with the swiftness build and if you are not putting adrenaline in your 4x3 or 5x3 engravings, Hallucination is the option for you. For the downsides of the Salvation set, you obviously have to build up to 20 stacks before you get the full damage amp from the set effect, but also if you go below 30 HP during the fight, you will lose all of your stacks and have to build them back up, this does come with a caveat of giving you a little bit more survivability and resetting your movement ability, your space bar. As for hallucination, we have kind of a similar problem, on your first attack, you're going to get the first half of your damage amp, but you're not going to get the second half of your damage amp until you keep hallucination up for nine seconds, however for this set, you do get your 15 crit rate as a base and after that nine seconds get an extra five, so you're getting the majority of your crit rate all the time.

How to Update You Build after Vykas Clear

In terms of how you go about updating these sets through Vykas clears, for the damage amp set you're gonna replacse your Demon Beast with Salvation at two pieces at a time, so basically two weeks at a time until you're in 4-set and then 6-set. For the half damage amp half crit build, you're gonna hold on to your Argos until you replace that crit rate somewhere else, so if you're going the Hallucination set, you're gonna be replacing your Argos two-piece first, when you go to four times Hallucination as the four times buff is where the crit is along with, helping the uptime on your actual Hallucination buff itself. However, if you're going Salvation, but you just need the crit in the meantime, then go four-piece Salvation, keep your two-piece Argos, and then eventually once you find a way either through a better necklace or through getting your 5x3 setup with adrenaline three in it, then you switch to full Salvation, really just depends on when you meet your own crit needs.
