news tip Lost Ark, ranking: which classes are the most played and appreciated by players?
Since its somewhat chaotic launch, Lost Ark has continued to grow in popularity in Europe, and players are multiplying on the various servers made available. The MMORPG event of this beginning of the year leaves its players spoiled for choice with no less than 15 classes available on its release, but which is the best? Here is the answer in numbers.
A formula that seems magical
After a few years of exclusivity in South Korea, Lost Ark is finally being exported to Europe and North America. Available since February 11, 2022 in our regionsTripod Studio’s MMORPG has awakened the soul of an adventurer that sinks within each of its players by inviting them to discover its fantastic universe. Cross the vast territory of Archésia to defeat hordes of enemies using powerful weapons and incredible powers associated with the different playable classes.
The Western version of the game currently has 15 classes, which are divided between 5 archetypes. Players who enjoy melee will therefore have the choice between different types of Assassinsof Warriorsand of Martialistswhile those who prefer ranged combat can turn to the classes offered by the Magi and the snipers. There is therefore plenty to satisfy everyone, but with a growing number of players populating the different servers, it’s natural to wonder if any of these classes stand out in terms of popularity.

It is EkkoGolda member of the Reddit community associated with Lost Ark, who answered this question by compiling character creation data into a graph. Please note that the figures obtained come from the Una North American Server, which launched at the same time as the European servers.

As you can see, it’s the Witch who wins the Lost Ark popularity award since nearly 13% of players turn to this magic-infused class. This is a difference of almost 10% with the Pugilist class which finds itself at the back of the pack behind two classes of the Marksman archetype. The ranking of archetypes reflects this disparity quite well, since Martialists come last and Mages second, just behind Warriors :
It is interesting to note that these stats differ quite a bit from the closed beta of Lost Ark recorded by Lost Archive on the Galatur European server:
The Warlock, which was in the lead during the closed beta, finds itself in 7th position in the most recent leaderboardwhile the Berserker and Paladin classes have grown in popularity to rank in the top 3, just behind the Witch, which was not available during this beta. Instead, players had access to Summonerwhich the Sorceress replaced when the game launched in the West.
