Character Introduction
Luke (5★ Order · Hunter) is a high-damage marksman combatant in Chaos Zero Nightmare whose kit centers on Bullet generation and critical hit scaling. His core mechanic revolves around creating and utilizing Handgun Bullet cards, which are 0-cost Attack cards generated primarily through his Rapid Fire card when it lands critical hits. Luke’s deck includes multiple Bullet-tagged attacks — such as Magnum Shot, Silver Shot, Uranium Shot, and Tracer — that exhaust upon use but fuel his damage output through their sheer number of hits and crit interactions. His playstyle requires strong Critical Chance investment to consistently generate Bullets and maximize his damage ceiling.
Luke thrives as a single-target DPS, turning frequent Bullet creation into both sustained chip damage and explosive finisher opportunities once key numbers are met. His Ego Skill, Lethal Design, delivers a powerful strike whose damage increases with the number of cards in his hand, offering a burst option that scales with careful hand management. Played well, Luke excels at building up stacks of Bullets through repeated crits and converting them into a relentless sequence of high-impact attacks, making him one of the game’s premier marksman damage dealers when properly optimized.
