Character Introduction
Lucas (4★ Passion · Hunter) is an AoE-oriented combatant in Chaos Zero Nightmare whose kit revolves around Launcher Bullets and Exhaust-triggered damage loops. A member of the Ironrain faction, Lucas uses cards like Extended Magazine to generate Launcher Bullets at the start of each turn, creating 1-cost attacks that deal damage to all enemies and often apply status debuffs such as Weaken or Agony. He can buff his own Bullet cards with skills like S.S.S for increased bullet damage, while other cards like Flame Thrower and Flashbang provide powerful area damage and utility effects, making him a flexible AoE DPS option.
Lucas also benefits from interaction effects like R.P.G-7, which deals fixed damage whenever a Bullet card is exhausted, effectively turning his own bullet usage into additional chip damage. His Ego Skill, Full Burst, deals AoE damage to all enemies and draws cards, offering both damage and hand advantage in a single play. Because of his reliance on Launcher Bullets and exhaust mechanics, Lucas excels in teams that can support passion weakness or AP generation, allowing him to maximize his consistent area damage output across multiple turns.
