Trace priority
- Skill
- Basic ATK
- Ultimate
- Talent
Luka applies HP-scaling Bleed, exposes one enemy with Ultimate and uses enhanced Basics to immediately trigger part of the active Bleed.
How to play it
- 1Use Skill to apply Bleed to the priority target.
- 2Cast Ultimate before the team's detonation window to apply vulnerability.
- 3Spend Fighting Will on enhanced Basic after Bleed is active, then let Kafka detonate the remaining DoTs.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The audit measures Bleed application, enhanced Basic detonation, Physical Break ownership and Kafka timing. Break and DoT targets are kept ahead of CRIT stats.
