The Enchantress is a fighter capable of dealing damage with AoE spells from afar. The sorceress is characterized by explosive damage inflicted during the duration of Elemental Mastery. In the normal state, the sorceress quickly gains energy with ice spells. This energy is consumed when using "slow", but powerful spells - Meteorite, Fireball, and Lightning Bolt. Members of this class wear Lost Ark gear with proficiency and are engraved with Heightened Senses for critical strike chance and critical damage.

1. Advantages and disadvantages of the Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
Advantages:
Large skill range
Powerful AoE spells
Great potential for explosive damage
Disadvantages:
Fragility
Long animation makes the character vulnerable.
The fast travel ability can only be used once every 10 seconds.
2. Playstyle of the Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
The Enchantress is a relatively fragile caster with limited mobility and low defense, so she must carefully position herself to attack. Teleportation is used to move quickly, but it consumes approximately 30% of the energy that could be spent on dealing with damage.
It is recommended that the Enchantress play in a group, but if you do not have a partner who can distract opponents' attention, use crowd control effects so that Meteorite, Fireball, and Lightning Bolt are applied without interference.
In boss fights, the sorceress has no position restrictions. To win, you need to dodge attacks and choose a position to cast spells without interruption. As a result, the player needs to know the specifics of the fight and be able to predict the sudden movements of the boss (this rule applies to all builds with explosive damage).
The main goal is to fit as many Meteorites, Fireballs, and Lightning Bolts as possible within the Elemental Mastery span. Other abilities are used to generate energy. Envissa's Dome is used as an awakening ability.
When writing the guide, only one Meteorite can fit into one Elemental Domain. To fit two Meteorites into the Possession, it is necessary to reduce the cooldown of the latter by at least 20%, which is only possible at the expense of other important characteristics. Thus, the Meteorite must be held for each subsequent Elemental Mastery. Arcane Resonance (with Heightened Senses ) reduces cooldowns by 50%. If the Meteorite's cooldown is 22 seconds or less and Elemental Mastery is ready, you can use the Meteorite while buffed.
3. Skills of Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
Each character has access to different class abilities. Each skill has tripod effects that change its mechanics. You can select up to eight skills at a time. Below we will look at the available options for different situations.
Universal build
This build uses the most powerful AoE abilities in combination with crowd control. The recommended skills and their effects are listed below. Alternative options can be found at the end of the section.
New character level 50, 248 points
296 points
312 points
340 points
The alloy of elements has the highest priority for pumping. It deals heavy damage, is instant cast, pulls enemies in three times in a row, and has a small cooldown (19 seconds with Rapid Prepare. Elemental Fusion is used in all situations and does not require prior control. Empowered Formula and Blast Wave increase damage and the wave gives a large increase than Perfect Crystal.
The bolt of Lightning is the second most important skill used to kill bosses and normal monsters. Area of Effect increases the chance of dealing damage to moving targets and works well with Long Storm. Arcane Secret in a Heightened Senses build does more damage than Ruinous Might. We recommend using the Arcane Secret on opponents who are in control.
The Meteorite deals tremendous damage. We recommend pumping it as quickly as possible. The first tripod does not look very attractive, but you can choose Ignite. In the second tripod, Asteroid is the preferred option. It deals more damage than Burning Spot and is easier to use than Burning Ground. Arcane Secret in a Heightened Senses build does more damage than Ruinous Might.
Fireball is the second most powerful spell in the sorceress's arsenal. Its only drawback is the long cast time, so it is recommended to use control or gain distance before it. In general, the choice is considered controversial. We recommend it for those who are interested in maximum damage. Ignite works well on small targets; Overpower does too much damage to small targets.
Weak spot is superior to Fire Vortex, as the most dangerous opponents are usually immune to knockback and impossible to keep in the vortex. Fan of Flame casts quickly but is inferior to the other two options in terms of damage and does not fit the specifics of the class. Arcane Secret in a Heightened Senses build does more damage than Ruinous Might.
Freezing rain deals massive AoE damage and slows down enemies. It can be used for control purposes. Arcane speeds up energy generation and allows you to use Elemental Mastery more often. Freelance Artist increases the duration of the slow and makes it easier to cast "slow" spells.
Undeath's Breath controls opponents and restores energy through Arcane Mystery and Spray Fountain. Cast it before Bolt of Lightning, Meteor, or Fireball on targets vulnerable to movement effects.
Hail of Icicles and Pulsating Orb have a low leveling priority. We recommend taking at least one tripod from them for accelerated energy generation and the imposition of negative effects. The second Tripod of the Pulsating Sphere increases the total duration of the negative effect to 100%. The third tripod increases damage and control (requires 312 points).
Raid build
Control gives way to counterattacks for fights with a single target (for example, keepers). Destruction effects are available to the sorceress through Fireball and Meteorite. Below are skills that provide maximum damage to a single target that is not too mobile.

This build is slightly different from the universal version. Whirlwind Blast is the only counterattack available to the sorceress. Replace Breath Update with it. If the Blast Wave from Elemental Alloy dissipates periodically, replace it with Perfect Crystal. The same goes for Freezing Rain; Freelance Artist can be replaced with Ice Ball (it deals less damage but generates more energy and is easier to maintain). Pulsating Orb can be replaced with Wall of Fire.
[Awakening] Open Skies procs 3 seconds after activation and can only match the damage of Envissa Dome after six meteors, so it is considered unreliable.
Alternatives
Enchantress builds are extremely flexible, with all abilities except for Fireball, Meteorite, and Lightning Bolt to change at the player's discretion. If you don't need counterattacks, Atherton's Flames can be used in place of Whirlwind Rush. You can also replace Whirlwind Blast with Undat's Breath. Flame deals more damage than other frost spells but generates less energy.
4. Priority of the characteristics of the Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
The most important characteristic of a sorceress is a skill. It amplifies the damage dealt while Elemental Mastery is active and speeds up the power generation process. The second stat could be Critical Strike or Dexterity (under the current conditions, you are unlikely to get more than 10% Critical Strike and 5% Movement/Attack Speed). Choose an amulet with proficiency and critical strike or proficiency and skill. All other equipment should be with skill.
5. Engravings, Skill Runes, and Consumables for the Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
Engravings
Heightened Sense is an important engraving that grants a critical hit and a damage bonus. There are no downsides to this engraving. The scalpel allows you to score 50% critical hit without equipment bonuses. Swift Mutilate, along with Titanslayer, provides a bonus to damage and speeds up casting such important spells as Meteorite, Fireball, and Lightning Bolt.
Skill Runes
Runes are a kind of tokens that are common to all characters on an account and are used to improve skills:
Reid's rune effectively affects long cooldowns and allows you to use Elemental Mastery more often.
Rune Rush must be applied to Whirlwind Rush to make counterattacks work faster.
Rune Agel speeds up the casting of Meteorite, Fireball, and Bolt of Lightning (although not by much - for spells with a duration of 1.8 and 1.6 seconds, 8% acceleration removes only 0.1 seconds).
Pet characteristics
Pets buff the owner. We recommend choosing the variant with mastery and a bonus to health.
Consumables
Ardoin-X enhances Mystic Resonance and makes it a priority option.
6. Decks of cards for the Enchantress with Heightened Senses in Lost Ark
Cards are mined at high levels and put into decks. Pumping them requires a large investment of time and resources. The build-in question does not require specific decks so you can use any deck for damage. The best options are Boer Morhen and History of Ark. However, both of them are considered very expensive. If you don't have these decks, use any option with a health bonus (such as World Bosses or Armory).
