Control Glaivier Gearing Guide for Lost Ark

Control mainly uses Swiftness with secondary Crit stat. The bonuses from Earth's Entropy set already provide Critical Rate and Damage and you'll have no need for Specialization when using this engraving. With high Swiftness you'll have an easier time with skill uptime and utilize Raid Captain.

Card sets are shared across both engravings for Glaivier. In the early game you can use cards that help with survivability such as Field Boss II, We'll Meet Again and Forest of Giants. For optimal damage you'll want Light of Salvation at 18 or 30 awakening, though is quite a late game goal. Lostwind Cliff provides additional Critical Rate and is a solid stand-in as you gradually work towards Light of Salvation.

You won't find a plethora of options for engravings, things are fairly cut and dry. Below are a series of recommended choices:

Engraving	Priority	Description
Control	Necessity	Provides a massive damage bonus compared to every other engraving, must have at Level 3.
Grudge	Very High	This is a staple damage engraving. As a DPS you should be using this as an immediate slot-in for your setup.
Master of Ambush	High	A significant amount of your DPS consists of Back Attacks. This is a core engraving to take!
Raid Captain	High	Another core engraving given our main stat is Swiftness, grants 18% damage at 140% Move Speed.
Cursed Doll	High	Provides Attack Power at the expense of lower healing. A consistent option compared to Adrenaline if you're not fond of maintaining stacks.
Adrenaline	High	Gives Critical Rate and Attack Power, but scales worse as your crit chance increases. Interchangeable with Cursed Doll in 5x3 scenarios.

Starting in Legendary gear, you'll want the Preordained Diligence set from Argos to give you additional Critical Rate. You can use the 2-piece gear from Valtan Normal but it's only recommended if you intend on parking your character at 1415. Once you obtain Relic gear, your only option will be Earth's Entropy gear. Earth's Entropy Chestpiece's set bonus grants us large amounts of Critical Rate & Damage, on top of increased Back Attack damage. Including your own Synergy, you'll hover around 65% Critical Rate. Approximately 17% from Crit, 10% from Back Attacks, 20% from Lv.2 Earth's Entropy's 2-piece bonus & 18% from Shackling Blue Dragon.

You'll be primarily running Swiftness with secondary Crit.
