Luck (Lck) has different effects during combat in Fire Emblem Engage. Learn about the effects of the Luck stat, how to increase Luck, and the characters and classes with the highest Luck.

Luck Stat Effects

Determines Critical Dodge Rate

Luck's main role in combat is increasing Dodge, which is important for reducing the chance of getting hit by an enemy crit. The base value of Dodge is the same as Luck, so characters lacking on this stat should be more careful around enemies with increased Crit chance.

Also Affects Avoid Rate

Luck plays a smaller role in calculating Avoid, which is the chance of evading all regular attacks. Half of a unit's Luck is taken with double the unit's Speed to get Avoid, so it isn't as impactful as Dodge.

How to Increase Luck

Level Up and Class Change

Every character has a Luck growth, so they have a chance of gaining an additional point per level up. Changing classes to one with high base Luck like High Priest is also recommended to maximize this stat.

Sync With Emblems

Increase Luck with Byleth and Tiki's Skills

Byleth has a skill that can increase Luck by up to 12, while Tiki's can increase it up to 10 depending on their Bond Levels. Both their skills can be inherited, so you can have them active while using other Emblems.

Boost Luck with Eirika, Micaiah, or Lucina

Other Emblems, namely Eirika, Micaiah, and Lucina, also provide a bonus to Luck while synced. The boost also increases at higher Bond Levels, with Eirika notably giving up to 10 Luck. However, there's no way to inherit these increases.

Equip Bond Rings with Luck

If none of the Emblems above are available, some Bond Rings can also increase Luck when equipped. The most they can give is 2 Luck, so it's not as significant.

Use a Goddess Icon or Luck Tonic

The Goddess Icon is a stat-boosting item that permanently raises Luck by 2. It's fairly scarce, being found only in a few maps, so use it wisely! Alternatively, you can purchase Luck Tonics from the item shop to raise Luck by 2 for the next battle.
