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 and Energy Regeneration are also great stats to have so that Luka can start his turn and use his Ultimate sooner.

 Gallagher | Healer Replacement Gallagher can provide an ATK reduction debuff with his Enhanced Basic ATK. He can also heal the team as long as an ally attacks the debuffed enemy. |

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.

Because the bosses have higher effect res, so it increases the actual amount you need to inflict his DoT without risk of failing, and as of right now, having 67% EHR is the minimum to reach that threshold
