If Luuk Herssen has no Perpetuating Daytime, gain stacks of Perpetuating Daytime equal to the stacks of Tune Strain - Interfered.
If Luuk Herssen already has Perpetuating Daytime, and the target's stacks of Tune Strain - Interfered exceed the current stacks of Perpetuating Daytime, increase Perpetuating Daytime's stacks to match the target's Tune Strain - Interfered stacks.
Perpetuating Daytime
When Resonators in the team cast Tune Break, if the target is affected by Tune Strain - Shifting, Luuk Herssen loses all stacks of Perpetuating Daytime, then apply equal stacks of Tune Strain - Interfered on the target, up to the target's current Tune Strain - Interfered stack cap. Cooldown: 1s.

UPGRADE PRIORITY
OUR REVIEW
How to Use
Luuk is a Main DPS whose damage is considered Basic Attack DMG, making him a fairly accessible and F2P-friendly character.
Gameplay Style
Luuk has a very fast and simple rotation, the only real downside being his very restrictive team options.
PROS & CONS
Pros
Signature weapon is not mandatory
Accessible F2P team (with weapon)
Cons
Only 2 viable teams at launch
RECOMMENDED ROTATION
Intro: Thanks to the Golden Rule passive, Luuk immediately gains 200 points of Ichor Flow, which speeds up the rotation.
Basic Attack Combo (Airborne or Ground): The Basic Attack combo, whether airborne or on the ground, activates the 3 different forms of Aureole of Execution.
Resonance Skill - Aureole of Execution: Ring: This skill deals significant Spectro DMG and grants the 1st of the 3 Endnotes on the Endgame stacks, boosting Liberation DMG.
Basic Attack - Golden Impale: This attack deals Spectro DMG.
Basic Attack Combo (Airborne or Ground): The Basic Attack combo, whether airborne or on the ground, activates the 3 different forms of Aureole of Execution.
Resonance Skill - Aureole of Execution: Breach: This skill deals significant Spectro DMG and grants the 2nd of the 3 Endnotes on the Endgame stacks, boosting Liberation DMG.
Basic Attack - Golden Impale: This attack deals Spectro DMG.
Basic Attack Combo (Airborne or Ground): The Basic Attack combo, whether airborne or on the ground, activates the 3 different forms of Aureole of Execution.
Resonance Skill - Aureole of Execution: Glare: This skill deals significant Spectro DMG and grants the last of the 3 Endnotes on the Endgame stacks, boosting Liberation DMG.
Mid-air Attack - Gavel of Earthshaker: This attack deals massive Spectro DMG and detonates the Ichor Deposit, dealing additional damage.
Resonance Liberation - Rewritten in Winter's Margins: With all 3 Endnotes on the Endgame stacks and the echo set, the Liberation deals colossal Spectro DMG. This is the optimal moment to use it.
Echo: After the Liberation, activate your Echo to transform and deal additional Spectro DMG.
Outro: Once the Concerto gauge is full, cast your Outro - Bow to the Last Light to deal Spectro DMG and start a new rotation.
Tip : Many animation cancels are possible, however this rotation remains the accessible one for everyone. Assuming the set only boosts the Basic Attack DMG portion of the Liberation.
BEST ECHO SETS
Rite of Gilded Revelation
RRD 5-piece set
Main Echo : Twin Nova: Nebulous Cannon
Spectro DMG is increased by 10% and if the character deals Basic Attack DMG, they gain a stackable 10% Spectro DMG boost up to 3 times lasting 5s. At 3 stacks, Basic Attack DMG is increased by 40% when the Liberation is cast.
Make sure to equip Twin Nova: Nebulous Cannon as the main echo.
Secondary Stats
BEST WEAPONS
Daybreaker's Spine
ATK 587 • Crit Rate 24.3%
ATK +12%. After Basic ATK, Spectro DMG Bonus +20% for 4s. Applying Tune Strain - Shifting amplifies Basic ATK DMG by 20% and ignores 10% DEF for 6s.
Luuk's signature weapon is perfectly tailored for him and is necessary in an F2P team. However, in a premium team, it is not mandatory.
Pulsation Bracer
ATK 587 • Crit Rate 24.3%
ATK +12%. Dealing DMG to target with Tune Strain - Interfered increases Basic ATK DMG Bonus by 6% for 3s (stacks 4 times, 1/0.5s).
This permanent weapon is made for Luuk. You will be able to consistently activate all its bonuses if you follow the correct rotation. Luuk's signature remains superior, but in a premium team this weapon is sufficient.
Justice ardente
ATK 587 • Crit DMG 48.6%
ATK +12%. Casting Basic ATK: DMG ignores 8% DEF. Spectro Frazzle DMG amplified by 50% for 6s.
Luuk won't benefit from all of this weapon's bonuses. However, it is still a very solid option for him.
Abyss Surges
ATK 587 • ATK 36.4%
Energy Regen Efficiency +12.8%. Dealing Res. Skill DMG increases Basic ATK DMG by 10% for 8s. Dealing Basic ATK DMG increases Res. Skill DMG by 10% for 8s.
The older permanent weapon is not ideal due to its Main Stat, and above all, Luuk deals very little Skill DMG so its bonus activates very rarely.
Celestial Spiral (R5)
ATK 462 • ATK 18.2%
Casting Res. Skill restores 10 Res. Energy and increases ATK by 20% for 16s (1/20s).
Best 4-star F2P weapon for Luuk.
BEST TEAM COMPOSITIONS
Tune Strain Team
In the near future, a 5-star character will appear who increases Tune Strain and Basic Attack DMG. This will then be his best team.
F2P Team
The F2P team remains strong if you have Luuk's weapon. Damage will be comparable to the Augusta - Mortefi team, which is very acceptable, but you won't benefit from all of Luuk's kit bonuses, notably due to Sanhua's rotation being too fast.
