What Kind of Character Are They? ・Refined Recluse's Tome inflicts Atk/Spd/Res penalties, a Guard effect, and neutralizes Atk/Spd/Res bonuses of all foes within 3Rx3C, and grants Luthier stat bonuses, true damage, true damage reduction, a Preempt Pulse effect, and post-combat healing.

Luthier Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (19) Normal HP ★★☆☆☆
Atk (9) No Attack IV ★★★☆☆
Spd (8) No Spd IV ★★★★☆
Def (7) Def Bane ★★★☆☆
Res (6) No Res IV ★★★★★

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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/-Def

The best IVs for Luthier are +Atk and -Def. A +Atk IV will effectively raise Luthier's overall firepower.

Luthier has already low Def so you can take this as a bane.

+Atk for a +10 Merge

We recommend a +Atk IV when merging Luthier to +10 to maximize his damage output. 36 Spd isn't high enough in the modern metagame to reliably generate follow-up attacks against newly released heroes.

Luthier Best Builds

Invested AoE Luthier

Emblem Icon： Emblem Marth
Passive Skill A Icon： Verge of Death
Passive Skill B： Occultist's Strike
Passive Skill C： Time Pulse Edge
Sacred Seal Icon： Life and Death 3
Attuned Skill Icon： Time Pulse Echo

How to Use, Explanation

This build combines multiple Pulse effects to pre-charge Blazing Wind immediately, allowing Luthier to deal big damage to a group of enemies.

Passive Skill B： Special Spiral 4
Passive Skill C： Infantry Pulse 4
Sacred Seal Icon： Atk/Spd Ideal 3
Attuned Skill Icon： -

How to Use, Explanation

This budget build only needs one combat manual from Divine Codes to have Luthier function as an offensive unit. It won't help much against modern tanks, but he can deal decent damage against everything else.

Luthier Best Weapon Refine

Effect of Luthier's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
RecluseRecluse's Tome
 SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP:
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, deals damage = 15% of unit's Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials), grants Special cooldown count-1 to unit before unit's first attack during combat, and restores 7 HP to unit after combat.
For foes within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5 on foe, neutralizes foe's bonuses to Atk/Spd/Res, and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack during combat (only highest value applied; does not stack).
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes).
Arena Medal：500　Divine Dew：200

We do not recommend refining Recluse's Tome

Refined Recluse's Tome inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5, neutralizes Atk/Spd/Res bonuses, and inflicts a Guard effect onto all foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on Luthier, grants Luthier Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, true damage equal to 15% of Luthier's Atk, 7 true damage reduction on foe's first attack, a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

While refined Recluse's Tome is a decent weapon in its own right, it feels lacking compared to other notable weapon refines. This, together with Luthier's outdated statline, make him unable to deal decent damage to modern tank units.

Luthier is better off equipping Arcane Truthfire if you wish to invest in him.

Luthier is a ranged magic attacker (range = 2). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Res stat.

Luthier Strengths

Refined Recluse's Tome inflicts penalties on multiple foes and grants combat bonuses

Refined Recluse's Tome inflicts Atk/Spd/Res-5, neutralizes Atk/Spd/Res bonuses, and inflicts a Guard effect onto all foes within 3 rows and 3 columns centered on Luthier, grants Luthier Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5, true damage equal to 15% of Luthier's Atk, 7 true damage reduction on foe's first attack, a Preempt Pulse effect, and 7 HP post-combat healing.

While refined Recluse's Tome is a decent weapon in its own right, it feels lacking compared to other notable weapon refines. This, together with Luthier's outdated statline, make him unable to deal decent damage to modern tank units.

Luthier Weaknesses

Low Def

Luthier's low base 20 Def and minimal true damage reduction effects render him vulnerable to physical damage.

Keep him away from physical attackers to ensure his survival!

Luthier as a Source Hero

Luthier Avatar

Value of Skills ★★★☆☆

Luthier comes with Gronnfox+, Swift Sparrow 2, and Guard 3 as inheritable options.

He is useful as bridge fodder for any of the rare tier 4 skills that branch out of Swift Sparrow and Guard.

Can we get the unlock updated? I got a four star Luthier I think shortly after the initial summon with him closed.
