Hero Skills Information:

Energy Skill - Night Curse: Luke unleashes the power of the dark crows, summoning the dark crow swarm to charge forward, dealing 286% ATK DMG to the enemies in a large area and inflicting 2 layers of the Crow's Curse for 8 seconds.

Crow's Curse: Every time the enemy has 1 layer of Crow's Curse, the defense will be reduced by 10% for 8 seconds, stacking up to 3 layers. Upgrading this skill will continue to increase the damage dealt.

Talent Effect: When the Raven Curse on an enemy reaches 3 stacks, all damage dealt by this skill of Luke will be converted to True DMG. Luke's skill will no longer be able to crit.

Passive - Night Recharge: If Luke's Skill hits more than one non-summoned enemy, Luke gains 10 Energy for each additional enemy hit, up to 80 Energy per skill. Upgrading this skill will continue to increase the energy gained by hitting an enemy.

Talent Effect: Recover a bonus of 2 energy per hit.

[Development Strategy]

Skill Review: Luke’s main ability deals AOE damage that can hit most enemies each time it is cast. More than that, each enemy hit by this skill will have a special debuff applied to them, called Crow’s Curse, which reduces enemy's defense and increases the output of your team. Luke’s Passive Skills restore his energy based on the number of enemies he hits, so when using his Energy Skill, you need to hit as many enemies as possible to maximize the energy gain from passive abilities.

Exclusive Equipment: Unlocked after reaching Mythic 1 star. It increases Luke’s damage significantly and also deals additional damage to enemies whose defense was reduced. This ensures that he can deal even more damage to enemies under Crow’s Curse.

Talent: When the Crow's Curse on an enemy reaches 3 stacks, all damage dealt by Luke's skills is converted to True damage. Crow’s Curse is relatively easy to stack, and the trigger condition for true damage is relatively simple. You can also notice that all of his talents are focused on improving his Energy Skill. So we recommend to unlock his Energy Skill and any other talents that play around it first, and then focus on other class talents and attributes. When choosing class talents and attributes, you should focus on ones that provide even more damage.

[Mixing&Matching]

Equipment: When looking for optimal equipment for Luke, you should focus on equipment with stats that can increase Luke’s output, such as damage, bonus damage, crit rate, and crit damage. If we are talking about Set Equipment, we should choose the Set that boosts only attack power. Why is that? Because the True Damage from the Energy Skill is not influenced by crit bonus in any way. So we do not need to focus on crit chance or crit damage, just raw output.

Commanders: If we are looking for the perfect Commander for Luke, Rota is the best one. When the hero's Energy Skill hits 3 or more enemies, Rota's passive Skill will deal an extra attack to all enemies. This Commander's skill combined with Luke’s Energy Skill will devastate your enemies.

Divine Prototypes: Energy-based heroes work best with the Dominator-class Divine Prototypes. Since Luke is a hero that has AOE damage and can apply debuffs, we need to pick Divine Prototypes that can complement that. A good example of this will be: Bladefury for blue quality, Power Word: Pain for the purple, and Flowing Rune or Vision Stone for the orange one.

[Combat Strategy]

Placement: Luke is a Damage Dealing Hero, that can deal AOE damage over long distances, so it is best to place him in the backrow of your squad.

Combinations with other heroes: Luke is generally used as the main damage dealer of the team. When creating a team, you can pair him with one secondary damage dealer to even further boost your damage capabilities, two tanks in the front to protect your team, and a support hero to provide healing or other powerful buffs. This lineup is well-rounded and can deal with most of the situations. In terms of the selection of Support heroes, the best choice for Luke is the ChemOps - Rez, who can increase Luke's energy regeneration, making Luke cast his Energy Skill more frequently. As a second pick, you can consider heroes that provide healing. A good example for that is Battle Angel - Serena, she can considerably improve your team’s survivability.
