Review
Luke is a stat-reliant single-target card generation and bullet-based damage dealer. Luke's kit revolves around generating 0-cost Bullets and enhancing them via his abilities. The catch is that one of his best generators only does so if it lands Crit Hits. Rapid Fire hits multiple times and generates Bullets per Crit it deals - no Crit, no Bullets. Because of this, Luke requires a high Crit Rate to function.
Pros
Solid single target, but must Crit in order to hope to access it.
Generates many 0 cost attacks for free with abilities that scale well with Morale.
Cons
No AoE Cards.
Requires Crit investment to function at the highest level.
Luke ratings aren't available yet. We will add them within a week of the launch.

[Bullet] Cards
They are 0 Cost Attack Cards generated through numerous parts of Luke’s kit. They can only be used on the turn they are generated due to the [Ephemeral] tag, and [Exhaust] after being played.
Lethal Design
Ego Skill
+15% Damage for each card in hand.
Lethal Design
Luke’s Ego Skill is called Lethal Design, which deals more damage the more cards you have in your hand. At 10 Cards, it’s a 450% multiplier, which, while a large hit, is only on a single enemy, while also not offering any utility. It can be useful as a single-target nuke but requires strong card generation or many retain effects to reach maximum potential.
Single Shot
Single Shot
Luke’s basic Attack cards are mostly stock standard outside of the additional damage they gain from Potentials and the fact that they gain the [Bullet] tag with his 3-1 potential.
Shadow Concealment
Show Effects
Shadow Concealment
Luke’s basic shield is completely standard and doesn't have any extra synergy with his kit.
Rapid Fire
Create Handgun Bullet equal to number of Critical Hits.
+50% Critical Chance.
Rapid Fire
A 1 Cost Attack Card that deals damage twice, has bonus Crit Chance, and creates [Bullet] cards based on how many hits were critical. Scales well with Morale and other Damage buffs. With 100% Crit is an incredibly efficient 4-hit attack baseline - without Crit, though, it can feel inconsistent at times.
Stealth Reload
Stealth Reload
A 1 Cost Skill card that creates 2 [Bullet] cards. Luke’s most reliable source of [bullet] cards before achieving high Crit Rate.
Seize the Opportunity
+120% Damage of the next Bullet Card.
Show Effects
Seize the Opportunity
A 1 Cost Skill with the [Lead] tag that gives some Shields, and increases the damage of the next [Bullet] card by +120%. Good if you have consistent [Bullet] generation. Best used on a multi-hitting attack card if possible.
Dance of the Demon
+1 hit equal to the number of Bullet cards used this turn.
Dance of the Demon
A 1 Cost Attack card that deals a small amount of damage but gains additional hits based on how many bullets have been used this turn. Best used immediately after your strongest bullet generators have been used and all bullets have been dumped
Finisher Round
Show Effects
Finisher Round
An unusable attack that becomes usable after using 5 Handgun Bullets (Generated Bullets), becoming a 0-cost high-damage ability for the rest of combat. Takes time and sufficient Bullet generation to access.
Luke’s Signature Potentials offer significant damage boosts as well as some additional functionality, making them a high priority to unlock.
- 3-1: Adds the [Bullet] tag to his basic attacks, helping set up combos with his Unique cards.
- 5-1: Adds an extra 5% damage to Luke’s basic Attack cards, with an additional 5% if his Crit Chance is above 20%. A moderate bonus, but welcome since Luke tends to want to keep his basics for consistency.
- 7: Gives an extra 3% Generated Bullet Damage if Luke’s Crit Chance is above 40%, with an extra 2% for every 5% Crit Chance above that. Can be stacked up to a total of 12% extra damage if you can get your Crit Chance high enough.
Standard Playstyle
Luke’s gameplay is based around generating [Bullet] cards using cards such as Stealth Reload and Rapid Fire, and his basic Attack cards (which count as [Bullets]), and combo-ing them with cards that benefit from [Bullets], such as Seize the Opportunity, Dance of the Demon, and Deadly Rounds. Simple, effective and easy to play.
Luka also benefits from bonus Crit Rate and Crit Damage, especially with his Rapid Fire card.

Important!
CZN is a game of randomness; sometimes you’ll be offered generic or Divine epiphanies that are stronger than a character's standard five options. In these cases, breaking the listed build can result in an even more powerful save. Adjust as you see fit!
