At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Luka
- “Coup de Grâce” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Lacerating Fist” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—that is how Luka applies pressure between Ultimates.
- Talent “Flying Sparks” seeds or detonates DoT statuses in the same cast—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- Several Luka effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
- DoT damage needs other appliers or long-lived statuses on the field—Luka alone cannot keep every wave fully stacked without a second DoT partner.
- As a 4★ Nihility unit, Luka is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
Welt
- Ultimate “Synthetic Black Hole” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Edge of the Void” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—that is how Welt applies pressure between Ultimates.
- Talent “Time Distortion” When hitting an enemy that is already Slowed—ignore it and Welt plays like a worse generic Nihility unit.
- Several Welt effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Synthetic Black Hole”, Welt spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Edge of the Void” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Welt is often the SP sink.
