DPS Party List
Luke	Mika	Lucas
Access to both single-target and AoE damage AP and card draw efficient Hard to build for an above average payoff

Luke's playstyle revolves around dealing critical damage and creating bullets to enhance his cards that deals multi-hit damage. He can work on his own but with the help of Lucas, more bullet synergy is enabled and solves his lack of AoE damage. Mika is here for survivability and provide more AP in case Lucas needs more for his bullets.

Support	Sub-DPS
Mika	Lucas

The best team for Luke would be Lucas and Mika as they can produce AoE Damage and provide excellent AP recovery respectively to compliment Luke's shortcomings. This allows Luke to focus on dealing Critical Hits while Lucas covers all the AoE Damage and inflict status effects such as Impair, Weaken, and Agony.

Alternative Team Members

Character	Explanation
Renoa	Can replace Lucas as the Sub-DPS. You can utilize Renoa's Dirge Bullets to help maximize Luke's Dance of the Demon damage output.
Rei	Can replace Lucas as the Sub-DPS. Rei provides Luke with damage buffs for his basic attacks and 1-cost Cards that can help maximize his damage output.

Luke Best Cards

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Card	Epiphany Effect
Rapid Fire (Luke)	AP Cost: 1 ・30% x 3 Damage ・Create Handgun Bullet equal to number of Critical Hits ・+50% Critical Chance
Stealth Reload	AP Cost: 1 ・Create 2 Handgun Bullet ・+30% Critical Chance of that card
Seize the Opportunity	AP Cost: 1 Tags: Lead ・100% Shield ・+120% Damage of the next 2 Bullet Cards
Dance of the Demon	AP Cost: 1 ・75% Damage ・+1 hit equal to the number of Bullet cards used this turn

The most important cards for Luke would be Rapid Fire and Dance of the Demon as these are his bread and butter for consistently executing Bullet attacks with high Critical chance. Rapid Fire works best when used with higher hit counts to generate more Bullets so we recommended getting the 30% x 3 Damage epiphany.

Since Luke benefits entirely from dealing Critical Hits, we opted to add more Critical Chance for Stealth Reload and allow Seize the Opportunity to buff 2 Bullet Cards for better damage. Lastly, we also recommend buffing Dance of the Demon with more damage since your team composition will mostly make use of Bullet Cards to further increase the hit count of this card.

List of All Cards

Essential Team Cards and Epiphanies

Card	Epiphany Effect
Source of Water	AP Cost: 0 ・Heal 150% ・1 AP ・1 Wave
Tactical Analysis	AP Cost: 0 ・2 Wave ・For 1 turn, +50% Healing
S.S.S	AP Cost: 1 ・150% Damage ・+60% Damage per Bullet card in hand
Flame Thrower	AP Cost: 2 ・270% Damage to all enemies ・If Critical hits , 150% Damage to all enemies
Flashbang	AP Cost: 1 ・180% Damage to all enemis ・2 Mark ・If the target has Shield ・+50% Damage
R.P.G-7	AP Cost: 1 ・When Bullet cards are Exhausted, 40 Fixed Damage

As for Luke's teammate epiphanies, we recommend getting one for Flame Thrower and Flashbang for the increased damage on Critical Hit and application of Mark respectively. This should help cover Luke's lack of AoE Damage, making the team more well-rounded.

Additionally, we want to use Lucas's S.S.S. as much as we can since it can provide 60% Damage per Bullet card in your hand. On the other hand, R.P.G.-7 allows you to deal a fixed follow-up attack every time you used a Bullet card which synergizes perfectly with Luke's playstyle.

For Mika, make sure to get epiphanies that increase her Wave stacks as this is a reliable way to generate AP for using Bullet cards especially from Renoa.

Luke Best Partner

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Partner	Details
Janet	Passive Effect: Ultimate Missle Turret - +9% Critical Chance of the assigned combatant's attack cards costing 1 or less. When the assigned combatant uses 5 Bullet cards, generate a random Handgun Bullet card. The generated card deals +50% damage. Ego Skill: Understanding and Ideas - 150% Damage to all enemies For 1 turn, +20% Designated Combatant's Bullet Card Damage

The best Partner for Luke would be Janet since she increases your Critical Chance and helps generate more Bullet cards. This is especially useful for Luke as he requires a good amount of Critical Chance to maximize his damage output.

Additionally, her Ego Skill provides us with an AoE Damage option while also increasing our Bullet Damage at the same time.

List of All Partners

Alternative Budget Partner

Partner	Explanation
Akad	An excellent 4-star Partner for any Bullet-focused character as it provides higher Critical Chance and Bullet damage.
Yuri	Yuri is a great 3-star Partner alternative since her Ego Skill allows you to Draw 2 cards to help Luke setup his Bullets early.

Luke Best Memory Fragments

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Since Luke works best when dealing Critical Hits, we recommend getting the Executioner's Tool Set to further increase his Critical Damage by 25%. Bullet of Order is perfect for Luke as well since it boosts his Order Damage whenever you use Attack Cards up to three times for a total of 15% damage increase.

As for your sub-stats, make sure to aim for getting Critical Chance and Critical Damage for each of your Memory Fragments to make generating Bullet cards more consistent throughout your playthrough.

List of All Memory Fragments

Luke Best Equipment

Summary			Best Team			Best Cards			Best Partner
Memory Fragment				Equipment				Playstyle

Weapon	Armor	Accessory
RFS-17	Chains of Obsession	Eye of the Eyeless

Luke's equipment focuses on buffing his Attack cards with more damage and Critical Chance to make his Bullets more consistent. RFS-17 gives us a 10% Critical Chance that Luke needs to generate more Bullets with Rapid Fire, while Eye of the Eyeless provides 30% Basic Attack damage that Luke uses most of the time to trigger his Bullet effects.

Lastly, Chains of Obsession is great for Attack-focused characters that always use Attack Cards to help gain a reliable Fixed Shield at the cost of HP reduction.

Use All Bullets Before Ultimate Card

Deal Critical Hits to Generate Bullets

To start setting up Luke's playstyle, you will need to constantly use Rapid Fire whenever you can to generate 0-cost Bullet cards every time you deal a Critical Hit. Make sure to use all your Bullets before you end your turn as these have no AP cost and can easily clog your hand once you have enough.

Play Lucas Bullet Cards First for Extra Damage

Before you start spamming Luke's 0-cost Bullet Cards, we recommend using Lucas's S.S.S. and R.P.G.-7 cards first so you can gain an increased Bullet damage bonus and execute follow-up attacks every time you use Bullet Cards. This should provide an exponential damage boost to Luke's kit whenever he uses a Bullet card for maximum damage output.

Use All Bullets Before Ultimate Card

Dance of the Demon is one of Luke's highest damaging card in his kit and benefits entirely from amount of Bullet cards you used during your turn. With that, we want to use as much Bullet cards as we can before we start using Dance of the Demon to maximize its damage output.

Do note that Dance of the Demon costs 1 AP so make sure you save at least 1 ability point after using all of the Bullet cards you have on hand.
