Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Atk/-Res

The best IVs for Luke are +Atk and -Res. Luke relies solely on Atk to deal damage as he can already nail two attacks into the opponent with either Brave Sword or Rowdy Sword. His Res is of less importance so it is safe to take it as a bane.

Luke Best Builds

Refined - Swift Sparrow Luke

HOT
： Rowdy Sword ： Draw Back ： Bonfire ： -	： Swift Sparrow 3 ： Def/Res Ruse 3 ： Panic Ploy 3 ： Chill Spd 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build for Luke is a quad attack build. This is the reason for Spd-boosting skills like Swift Sparrow 3 and Chill Spd 3. If you don't want to run a quad build, just maximize Atk with skills like Death Blow 3, and Chill Def 3.

Budget Luke

： Rowdy Sword ： Draw Back ： Moonbow ： -

： Fire Boost 3 ： Renewal 3 ： Panic Ploy 3 ： Attack +3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

A very cheap build for Luke that makes use of his base kit, and maximize his Atk stat. The reason why Atk is valuable on him is because Rowdy Sword leverages it nicely since it allows him to strike twice when initiating. This doubles the value of every Atk point you are getting.

Luke Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Luke's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Rowdy Sword	SP: 400
Might: 11　Range: 1　HP: +3 Inflicts Spd-5. If unit initiates combat, unit attacks twice. If a bonus granted by a skill like Rally or Hone is not active on foe, grants Atk/Def+6 during combat. ：500　：200

Rowdy Sword is granted a very straightforward effect upon special refinement. It grants Luke +6 Atk/Def if bonuses granted by Rally or Hone are not active on the foe. The Atk bonus greatly improves the damage dealt by Rowdy Sword's 2 attacks. Make use of skills like Dull Close 3 to disable any Rally or Hone bonus to make better use of this buff!

Luke Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Luke Roles

Luke - Rowdy Squire Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Luke is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Luke Strengths

Attack Twice with Rowdy Sword

Rowdy Sword hits harder than Brave Sword+ and it is basically a direct upgrade from it. It also has access to a special refinement effect which is discussed in detail here!

Buffs Atk if HP is Higher than Foe's

Fire Boost 3 grants +6 Atk if Luke's HP ≥ foe’s HP+3. Unlike Death Blow 3, it also activates when Luke performs counterattacks, making it a goood enemy phase skill as well. This works well with Rowdy Sword as that will provide a total of +12 Atk worth of damage in one initiated attack.

Can Weaken Buffed Enemies

Panic Ploy 3 converts units' bonuses in Luke's cardinal direction into penalties, meaning all positive stat boosts turn into negative stat reductions. This effects all units in spaces above, below, to the right, or to the left of Luke. With his fairly high HP, this is a powerful skill for Luke, since it is easy for him to debuff many enemy units with lower HP.

The HP requirement also makes a 5★ Luke a good candidate for Summoner Support as he greatly benefits from the +5 HP. Not to mention, this helps triggering Fire Boost 3 as well!

Luke Weaknesses

Low Spd

Luke has low Spd. He will be taken out by many enemies if ever he is attacked. Make use of his high mobility to pick the right targets and prolong his presence in the battlefield!

Low Res

Luke's Res only sits at 20 at Lv.40. This makes it easy for magic users to take him out. Be mindful of Luke's positioning in relation to magical units that can easily take him out.
