by Luka is a 4-star Honkai Star Rail Path of Nihility and Physical element character that stands out for both his Standard Damage and Damage Over Time by applying Bleeding to enemies.
Unlike other characters who often apply DoTs (Damage Over Time), Luka is more Single Target oriented than Multi Target oriented , which he makes up for with good Single Target Ability damage and fairly potent Bleeding Damage in comparison. to other ” DoTers “.
To get the most out of it you will have to find a good balance between its Damage and its Effect Hit, something quite common in Nihility characters. Anyway, now we see all his kit in depth and his best Build and stuff. Let’s go there!
ATTRIBUTES OR STATS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Luka will have at the maximum level:
- HP: 917
- ATK: 582
- DEF: 485
- SPD: 103
It doesn’t stand out too much on a statistical level, a bit weak in all aspects except Speed, which is not bad at all. Also, Speed is a stat that suits him quite well.
LUKE’S ABILITIES
These are all of Luka’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what he has at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: TRUE FIST
Deals 50% Physical Damage based on ATK (as all its damaging abilities) to a single enemy of your choice.
EMPOWERED BASIC ATK: TRUE SKYBREAKER FIST
Consumes 2 charges of “Fighting Will” (in the Talent we explain it) and deals 10% Physical Damage 3 times and after this it will deal another hit for 40% Physical Damage.
BASIC ABILITY: PUNCH OUT!
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
Deals 60% Physical Damage to an enemy and also has a 100% Base Chance to bleed (Physical Damage Over Time) for 3 turns. The Bleeding will deal damage equal to 24% of the target’s maximum health each turn, but at most it will deal 130% of Luka’s ATK Damage .
ULTIMATE ABILITY: COUP DE GRACE
- Energy Cost: 130
It will gain 2 stacks of an effect called “Fighting Will” (in the Talent we will see it better), it has a 100% Base Chance to apply a Debuff on the enemy that increases the Damage they take by 12% for 3 turns and after this will hit the enemy for 198% Physical Damage.
TALENT: SPARKS EVERYWHERE
At the start of the battle Luka gains 1 stack of « Fighting Will », also when using his Basic ATK or Basic Ability; he can stack up to 4 times.
When it has at least 2 stacks it will unlock the Empowered Basic Attack and also when we hit an enemy affected by Bleeding, we will immediately deal additional damage equal to 68% of Bleeding damage.
TECHNIQUE: ANTICIPATION
We will deal 50% Physical Damage to a random enemy with a 100% Base Chance to affect them with Bleeding as the Basic Ability. In addition, he gains an additional stack of “Fighting Will”.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Kinetic Overload
- By using the Basic Skill, we will remove a positive status from the enemy.
- Ascension Level 4 – Cyclic Braking
- Luka recovers 3 Energy every time he gains a charge of “Fighting Will”.
- Ascension Tier 6 – Crushing Fighting Will
- When using Basic Attack, there is a 50% chance that each hit from Basic Attack will hit additionally.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Endless Fight : When performing an action, if the enemy is affected by bleeding, Luka gains a buff of +15% Damage for 2 turns.
- E2 – The Enemy Is Weak, I Am Strong : Gain an additional charge of “Fighting Will” when hitting an enemy weak to Physical with the Basic Ability.
- E3 – Born for the Ring : +2 levels to Basic Skill and +2 to Talent.
- E4 – Relentless Persistence : +5% Attack per stack of “Fighting Will”. It can stack up to 4 times.
- E5 – The Spirit of Flare : +2 levels to Ultimate Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E6 – The Champion’s Applause : When using the Empowered Basic Attack, we will deal Additional Physical Damage equal to 8% of the Bleeding Damage for each hit we land with the Empowered Basic Attack.
His Eidolons are not bad, all very much intended to increase their damage more and are not situational at all. What is certain is that something that gives him a little Effect Hit could not have been a bad thing.
LUKA’S BEST BUILD
As is often the case with Nihility characters, Effect Hit is a very important stat, but he also stands out for having good damage with his abilities, so we’ll have to try to find a balance between dealing good damage and not being failing the Bleeds.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Luka sorted from best to worst (they all come highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5-star and 4-star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
- In the Name of the World ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +24% damage to enemies that have a debuff and when using the Basic Ability increases the Effect Hit of said Ability and gains +24% ATK.
- Just Wait ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +24% Damage, each wearer’s attack will increase their Speed by 4.8% (max 3 stacks) and 100% Base Chance to affect enemies with “Erosion”, one Damage in Time that is considered Electrocution which will deal 60% Lightning Damage over 1 turn. Erosion cannot stack.
- Good Night, Sleep Well ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% damage for each debuff of the enemy you hit (also applies to DoTs damage ). Stacks 3 times.
- Prey Vision ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +20% Effect Hit and +24% Damage Over Time.
- Shimmering Determination ⭐⭐⭐⭐: 60% chance on hitting an enemy to reduce their DEF by 12% for 1 turn.
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
These are the statistics that we recommend for each piece in order to maximize its damage.
- Torso : Critical Chance / Critical Damage / *** Effect Hit.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Blueprint Sphere : Physical Damage.
- Binding Rope : ATK % / Energy Recovery
Substats:
- *** Effect Hit (important not to neglect it, you must get more or less 40-50% or else we will have to put Effect Hit on the Torso and we will lose a lot of Critical Balance, some Cones will help us a lot in that sense if not we arrived).
- Prob. CRIT.
- CRIT Damage
- SPEED
- ATK %.
His best Artifact Set:
Street Boxing Champion
- 2 pieces: +10% Physical Damage.
- 4 pieces: +5% ATK when attacking or receiving an attack. It can stack 5 times.
His best Ornament Set:
Space Seal Station
- 2 pieces : +12% ATK and +12% bonus ATK if character has 120 or more SPD.
It will be easy to reach 120 SPD and the additional ATK will come in handy to cause more damage with all our Skills.
Pangalactic Trading Company
- 2 pieces: +10% Effect Hit and increases ATK by 25% of your Effect Hit (max +25% ATK).
It can help if we need a bit more Effect Hit because we don’t hit the 40-50% we recommend. The downside is that we don’t need as much Effect Hit as other characters (see Silver Wolf ), so we won’t take advantage of that +25% Max Attack.
As his thing would be to leave it at a maximum of 50% of Effect Hit so as not to waste statistics, we would only obtain 12.5% of Attack, which is not bad either, but if we can achieve it without requiring this Set of Ornaments, better.
