Mobile Legends Lukas guide: Best build, skills, emblem, combos

Once a legendary being who fought and helped build the Moniyan Empire, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang fighter Lukas has awakened from his millennium-long slumber with a fiery resolve.

With the ability to transform into a Sacred Beast, the Beast of Light combines raw power and agility, making him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

He has a unique mechanic which allows him to build up stacks to activate his ultimate, and an enhanced form that set him apart from other fighters.

In this ONE Esports guide, we list his recommended emblems, best build, and combos so that you can unleash his full potential in the Land of Dawn.

Lukas’ skills in Mobile Legends

Passive – Hero’s Resolve

Lukas gains Resolve per second and an additional Resolve when dealing damage to heroes. Lukas consumes Resolve per second while in Sacred Beast form.

• Manage Resolve carefully. Lukas’s ultimate relies on full Resolve. Build it by staying active in fights, poking enemies, or waiting for natural regeneration.
• Avoid wasting it on minor skirmishes. Save it for crucial engagements.
• Damaging enemy heroes replenishes Resolve. Trade aggressively to keep your gauge full and stay in Sacred Beast form longer.

Human form first skill – Flash Combo

Human Form Passive: Lukas can enhance Flash Combo with his Basic Attacks several times, lasting for a duration. Lukas consumes all Vigor to unleash Pulverize, dealing Physical Damage, plus additional attacks depending on the Vigor consumed (recovers HP when hitting a hero).

Human Form one Stack: Lukas briefly stuns the target and spins his tonfa hammers to deal Physical Damage three times, pulling the enemy toward him.

Human form two Stacks: Lukas briefly stuns the target and follows up with several attacks that deal Physical Damage per hit. He will then spin his tonfa hammers to deal Physical Damage multiple times (cannot be interrupted).

• At zero Vigor stacks, use Flash Combo to dash forward and reposition, setting up for follow-up Basic Attacks.
• With one or two stacks of Vigor, this skill pulls enemies toward the center and applies crowd control. Build stacks with Basic Attacks before diving in for maximum damage and CC.
• At two stacks, Flash Combo grants brief CC immunity. Time it to avoid enemy stuns or slows and turn the fight in your favor.

Sacred Beast Form two stacks: Lukas briefly stuns the target and leaps to deal Physical Damage several times, then summons sacred lightning, dealing Physical Damage multiple times (cannot be interrupted).

• Use Flash Step to close the distance or poke enemies from safety. The enhanced Basic Attack lets you blink behind targets, ideal for chasing down fleeing opponents.

All attributes include HP, Physical Attack, Attack Speed, Physical and Magic Defense and Attack Range.

• Only activate Lukas’s ultimate when his Resolve is full.
• This ensures maximum duration and extended time in Sacred Beast form.
• Use Sacred Beast form to dive straight into enemy marksmen and mages.

A comprehensive guide on how to play Lukas in Mobile Legends

Recommended battle spell

For Lukas, Vengeance is the best battle spell to amplify his survivability and laning prowess.

As a close-quarters fighter, the Beast of Light needs to stay in the thick of battle to maximize his damage output, and Vengeance provides him with the sustainability to do so.

When activated, it reduces the damage he takes while reflecting a portion of it back to his attackers. This synergizes perfectly with your high-frequency attacks and ability to sustain during prolonged skirmishes.

In the early game, Vengeance helps you trade effectively in the lane, mitigating incoming damage while dealing consistent punishment to his opponents. This is especially valuable when facing heroes with strong poke or burst damage.

In the late game, when you dive deep into the enemy backline with the Sacred Beast form, Vengeance allows you to absorb heavy damage while maintaining pressure on low-durability targets like marksmen and mages.

Recommended emblem

The Fighter Emblem is the best choice, enhancing your durability, sustain, and damage output.

Equip Firmness as your tier one talent to boost Physical Defense for better early-game trades, and Festival of Blood as your tier two talent for Spell Vamp to restore HP from your high-damage abilities.

Take Brave Smite as your main talent, which allows you to regain HP whenever you apply crowd control, synergizing perfectly with your multi-hit crowd control abilities like Flash Combo.

For more aggressive play, swap Brave Smite for War Cry to amplify your Physical Attack and maximize burst potential.

Lukas best build

To maximize the Beast of Light’s skill kit, focus building items that provides cooldown reduction, sustain, and damage. These items maximize your effectiveness in close-quarters combat.

War Axe and Hunter Strike are your core items, providing Physical Attack, Cooldown Reduction, and Movement Speed, perfect for your high-frequency attacks and hit-and-run playstyle.

For mid to late game survivability, Queen’s Wings reduces incoming damage and grants Spell Vamp, while Oracle boosts Magic Defense, HP regeneration, and shield absorption.

You can also opt for Brute Force Breastplate to enhance both your defense and mobility, allowing you to stay agile in prolonged fights.

But the standard build should include Immortality which boosts your survivability tremendously due to the revive mechanic.

Tips and easy combos to learn

To dominate with Lukas, focus on building and managing his Hero’s Resolve to activate his Sacred Beast form effectively.

In the early game, use hit-and-run tactics with his enhanced Basic Attacks and Flash Combo to poke enemies while avoiding extended trades.

For combos in human form, use Flash Step to dash toward enemies, land two Basic Attacks to build Vigor stacks, then unleash Flash Combo for high damage and crowd control. In Sacred Beast form, follow the same sequence but finish with Shockwave Blast for devastating AOE damage.

Use Flash Step strategically to dodge abilities or close gaps, and leverage his CC immunity at two Vigor stacks to outplay opponents.

Prioritize targeting low-mobility heroes for maximum impact, and adapt to fights by utilizing his mobility and CC to disrupt enemies and secure kills.
