Should You Pull for Luka?

Luka is a great character to have if you want another DoT party member in your collection. Luka can also provide extra utilities such as removing an enemy's buff with his Skill and increasing the DMG taken by an enemy with his Ultimate!

Luka's Best Builds

Bleed Debuffer

This debuffer build allows Luka to inflict DEF and Bleed debuffs. A total of 67% Effect Hit Rate is ideal for making sure that Luka can inflict Bleed at all times.

Building CRIT is unnecessary as most of Luka's DMG will come from the Bleed debuff, which scales on the ATK stat. SPD is also important to activate the effect of the Firmament ornament.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat	Recommended Value
Effect Hit Rate	67%
ATK	2600 or above
SPD	135+ SPD should be higher than Kafka's

Luka's Best Team

Luka F2P Team (Free to Play)

Support	DPS	Support	Healer
Luka	Serval	Asta	Natasha

This F2P (Free to Play) Team revolves around Luka and his teammates inflicting various DoT debuffs.

Serval will be the DPS who can deal Lightning DMG and inflict Shock DoTs. Asta is also great choice for her SPD buffs and is able to inflict Burn DoTs.

Luka DoT Team

Support	DPS	Support	Healer
Luka	Kafka	Ruan Mei	Huohuo

This is Luka's best team that involves the use of DoT. Kafka will be the Main DPS who can trigger DoTs using her Skill and Ultimate. Ruan Mei can increase the party's Break Efficiency and delay an enemy's recovery from Break.

Mono Physical Team

Support	DPS	Support	Healer
Luka	Sushang	Silver Wolf	Natasha

Luka can be used in a team that mostly consist of Physical characters. Silver Wolf is the key party member that can add a Physical weakness if an enemy doesn't have it.

If the enemy already has Quantum as one of its base weaknesses, Silver Wolf can guarantee on implanting a Physical Weakness.

Luka's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics	Rating & Merits
Prisoner in Deep Confinement x4	★★★★★ - Best Luka can increase the DMG taken by an enemy with his Ultimate. Partnering this with the 4pc set will allow him to do greater damage, especially since his DoT is strong as well.
Champion of Streetwise Boxing x4	★★★★☆ - 2nd Best This Relic Set improves Luka's DMG and DoT thanks to the ATK buffs that he can gain after attacking or getting hit.
Champion of Streetwise Boxing x2 Messenger Traversing Hackerspace x2	★★★☆☆ - 2nd Best The next best thing if you still haven't farmed relics with good substats. This allows Luka to deal more Physical DMG and let him act on his turn a lot sooner.
Ornaments	Merits
Firmament Frontline Glamoth	★★★★★ - Best This Ornament is the best for Luka as it increases his ATK and overall Bleed DMG. This does require a bunch of SPD stacks for the effect to activate.
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise	★★★★☆ - Great This Ornament is great for Luka as it not only increases hit Effect Hit Rate, but increases his ATK based on the amount of Effect Hit Rate! The ATK buffs will improve Luka's Bleed DMG.
Space Sealing Station	★★★☆☆ - Good Luka's second best Ornament. It increases Luka's ATK%, which will increase his Bleed damage.

Eyes of the Prey	★★★★☆ - Great Eyes of the Prey is also a great option for Luka since it provides Effect Hit Rate and boosts DoT, which synergizes with his Bleed.
Solitary Healing	★★★☆☆ - Good Solitary Healing is also a great Light Cone for Luka since it increases DoT damage after using his Ultimate. It also increases his Energy when he defeats an enemy and increases his Break Effect.
Fermata	★★★☆☆ - Good Fermata is also a good option for Luka since it increases his Break Effect. It can also increase the damage he deals against enemies with Shock or Wind Shear, which can easily be achieved with Kafka.
