Luuk Herssen Build
Best weapons, echoes & teams
Skills
Such is Light
Perform up to 3 consecutive mid-air Scythe strikes dealing Spectro DMG. Basic Attacks while airborne apply Tune Strain to enemies hit.
Consume Stamina to deliver a downward Scythe slam, dealing Spectro DMG.
Consume Stamina for a diving Scythe strike, dealing Spectro DMG and inflicting Tune Strain.
Normal Attack after a successful Dodge to attack the target, dealing Spectro DMG.
Reunion of All the Fallen
Summon a shockwave of golden light, dealing Spectro DMG and projecting an Aureole of Execution Ring around the target.
A spectral ring that persists for 20s. Enemies inside take Spectro DMG from Breach and Glare attacks triggered by Luuk's normal actions.
While Aureole is active, Resonance Skill again launches a piercing strike into the Ring, dealing Spectro DMG and generating Ichor Deposit.
Consuming 300 Ichor Flow triggers Endnotes on the Endgame: a catastrophic Spectro detonation dealing massive DMG and refreshing the Aureate Judge state.
Rewritten in Winter's Margins
Channel winter light into a concentrated blast dealing Spectro DMG (Basic Attack DMG). While active, Luuk enters Aureate Judge state: all Basic Attack hits inside the Aureole deal amplified Spectro DMG and generate Ichor Flow at an accelerated rate.
Before Injection of Dawn
Descend with the Scythe in a golden arc, dealing Spectro DMG and immediately projecting the Aureole of Execution Ring around the nearest enemy.
Bow to the Last Light
Deliver a final Scythe sweep dealing Spectro DMG equal to 500% of Luuk Herssen's ATK to nearby targets. Grants the incoming Resonator Dawnlit Keep for 30s.
Inherent Skills
Pulses Under the Snow
Each Radiant Reave pulse increases Luuk Herssen's CRIT Rate by 2% for 20s, stacking up to 10 times. Stacks persist through swaps.
Uncaused Diagnosis
Shifting or Interfered, all of Luuk Herssen's DMG against that target is increased by 15%.
Tune Break
Silent Debate of Light
Shifting on the target (enhanced Tune Strain that converts to Interfered status, increasing the target's Spectro DMG taken for a duration). Scales with accumulated Tune Break Boost.
Forte Circuit
Spark from the Frost - Gavel of Earthshaker
When Ichor Flow reaches 100, Heavy Attack is replaced by Gavel of Earthshaker: a Scythe smash dealing Spectro DMG that consumes 100 Ichor Flow and generates a Dawnlit Keep stack. Can be cast mid-air.
Spark from the Frost - Aureate Judge & Radiant Reave
Active during Resonance Liberation. While in Aureate Judge state, Aureole of Execution Ring pulses with Radiant Reave: periodic Spectro DMG to all enemies inside the Ring. Golden Rule - Luuk may swap off-field while Aureate Judge is active; Radiant Reave continues to pulse for its duration.
Stacks up to 3. Each stack increases Radiant Reave and Gavel of Earthshaker DMG Multiplier by 40%.
Spark from the Frost - Ichor Flow
Ichor Flow holds up to 300. Gained from: Basic Attack and Mid-air Attack hits inside the Aureole (5 per hit), Ichor Deposit from Golden Impale (30 per cast), Radiant Reave pulses (10 per pulse). At 300 Ichor Flow, Endnotes on the Endgame can be triggered via Resonance Skill.

Best Weapons
by calculated performance
Daybreaker's Spine
R1BestLuuk's Signature enables him to gain lots of extra Spectro DMG Bonus, Basic DMG Bonus and DEF Ignore on top of the high ATK and CRIT Rate the weapon gives by default, making it his strongest option by far.
100.0%
Pulsation Bracer
R1Amazing F2P option for Luuk which is accessible via the permanent weapon banner providing him with the same ATK and CRIT Rate as his Signature with a weaker passive that grants him a good amount of Basic DMG Bonus instead. Overall his second best option.
85.7%
Blazing Justice
R1Zani's Signature provides Luuk with ATK, CRIT DMG and some DEF Ignore which makes it a pretty good alternative to Pulsation Bracer if you need it (it may also be situationally better via crit-fishing).
83.4%
Moongazer's Sigil
R1Simple ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Luuk, who does not benefit from this weapon's Liberation DMG-focused effects.
80.7%
Verity's Handle
R1Simple ATK, CRIT Rate and DMG Bonus stat-stick for Luuk, who does not benefit from this weapon's Liberation DMG-focused effects.
80.4%
Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.
Best Echo Sets
5-Piece Sonata
Rite of Gilded Revelation
Provides Luuk with a stackable Spectro DMG Buff totaling to 40% Spectro DMG Bonus, and also provides his Ultiimate cast with an extra 40% Basic DMG Bonus, significantly increasing his Ultimate's firepower. This makes it his best set bar none.
