Best Lost Rites Build

Magick Archer is the Best Vocation to Clear the Lost Rites Fast

Magick Archer

The Magick Archer is the best vocation to take on all of the Lost Rite dungeons due to the sheer power of their skills and their many utility options. Additionally, the Precipitous Catacombs requires you to be a Magick Archer or Archer to access it.

As all Lost Rite dungeons take place indoors, you can simply use Ricochet Hunter to bounce off your projectiles across the walls to overwhelm the corrupted enemies.

Grianmhar is the best Magickal Bow for the base game though it's only obtainable after completing Unmoored World. Alternatively, you can use Dragon's Breath which you can purchase from the Volcanic Island Armory.

You can wear any armor you'd like as long as they are upgraded with Dwarven to increase your knockdown resistance, while two Rings of Percipience further boosts your Magick.

The most important skills to have are Ricochet Hunter, Sagittate Avalanche, and Frostseeker Bolt. The rest are mostly for utility like Recovery Arrow to heal your pawns or Soporific Bolt to put a dangerous enemy to sleep.

As Magick Archer is a very stamina-hungry class, equip augments that boost your stamina and stamina recovery like Endurance and Exaltation, as well as Zeal to lower your stamina consumption and Voracity to give you stamina sustain when killing enemies.

A full support Mage build is the best for your Main Pawn so that you get reliable shielding, healing, and cleansing debilitations. Legion's Might ensures that your Pawn will auto-revive on their own if they get knocked out, while two Rings of Recitation allows them to cast their spells as fast as possible.

Certain Lost Rite Dungeons like Shrouded Warren also limit you to just taking along your Main Pawn, so having a reliable support Pawn that can heal and shield you is more valuable than a DPS-oriented Pawn.

Even with the nerfs to their Mirour Shelde, Mystic Spearhand's ability to provide full shields to the entire party is very valuable in these challenging dungeons.

Meanwhile, Magick Archer can trivialize most enemy encounters in the dungeons since they can simply use Ricochet Hunter to clear enemies before you even encounter them. These attributes make them the two best vocations to take on the Lost Rites Dungeons.

Hire a Thief and Sorcerer for DPS and Crowd Control

Aside from a dedicated support Mage Pawn, it's a good idea to hire a Thief Pawn as the sheer burst damage they can inflict with their skills and even regular attacks allows them to easily handle even the toughest Corrupted Beasts.

A Sorcerer is also good to have as they have potent crowd control skills such as High Hagol and High Thundermine. Try to look for a Pawn with the Maelstrom maister skill as well since this is often a guaranteed one-hit KO for small enemies, including the corrupted ones you'll find deep in the dungeons!

Pretty sure they specifically nerfed Magick Archer for this, Ricochet doesn't bounce after hitting a corrupted foe.
