MLBB Lukas: Abilities

Lukas brings a unique set of abilities to MLBB, each one reflecting his Sacred Beast heritage and his transformation into a powerful force. Here's a breakdown of Lukas’ abilities:

• Hero's Resolve [Passive]: Lukas gains Resolve over time—1 Resolve per second, plus 2 additional Resolve when hitting enemy heroes. The amount of Resolve depends on the rank of his ultimate, Unleash the Beast. In his normal form, Lukas gains 0.5 to 2 Resolve per second. When he activates his ultimate, he uses 10 Resolve per second, and the ability lasts until all Resolve is gone. While in Sacred Beast form, Lukas continues to generate Resolve when dealing damage, allowing him to stay in this powerful form longer and deal even more damage.
• Flash Combo: (Cooldown: 5.5 seconds, Type: Area of Effect) is Lukas' first ability that deals damage and stuns enemies. Each time Lukas hits an enemy with a Basic Attack, he gains 1 stack of Vigor, which lasts for 5 seconds and can stack up to 2 times. When activated, Lukas uses all his Vigor to perform Pulverize, dealing 300-550 (+100% Total Physical Attack) physical damage. The effect depends on how many Vigor stacks Lukas has: with 1 stack, he stuns the target briefly and follows up with 3 attacks, each dealing 100-200 (+80% Total Physical Attack) damage. With 2 stacks, he stuns the target briefly and follows up with 2 attacks, each dealing 50-100 (+20% Total Physical Attack) damage. Afterward, Lukas spins his tonfa hammers, dealing 100 (+80% Total Physical Attack) damage 3 times, and pulls the enemy toward him.
• Flash Step: (Cooldown: 12 seconds, Type: Buff) allows Lukas to quickly dash toward a target and boosts his next Basic Attack within 4 seconds, transforming it into Flash Strike. Flash Strike deals 50 (+120% Total Physical Attack) physical damage and teleports Lukas behind the enemy. Additionally, this skill reduces the cooldown of Flash Step by 2 seconds, while also increasing Lukas' attack speed and movement speed by 30% for 4 seconds, making him more agile and deadly.
• Unleash the Beast: (Type: Buff) Transforms Lukas into his Sacred Beast form, giving him a big boost in combat. His Movement Speed increases by +30, and all his stats go up by 15%-20%. His abilities also improve: Pulverize (first skill) now includes a tail swing. Flash Step (second skill) lets Lukas dash farther, helping him reach enemies faster. In his Beast form, Flash Combo makes Lukas pounce on enemies instead of blinking behind them. Finally, Shockwave Blast sends out a shockwave that deals 300-500 (+100% Total Physical Attack) physical damage and creates three aftershocks, each dealing 80-160 (+25% Total Physical Attack) damage, causing heavy damage to enemies in the area.

Look forward to the next MLBB hero!
