Lukas, Sharp Soldier Stats: 42/32/19/35/13 45/35/22/38/17 48/38/25/41/20 Default Set: An often overlooked unit Lukas is one of the best physical tanks in the game. With 38 Def (41 with a boon) Sword units have little hope to scratch Lukas without a charged Special while both Lance and Bow units will struggle to get rid of him within a single round of combat. Even Axe units with their color advantage will struggle to defeat him without appropriate skills and buffs. His low Spd means that he will get doubled by the majority of the roster but that plays into his hand due to the existence of Quick Reposte. This way he can charge up his Special and counter an enemy for massive damage, potentially killing them. His base 35 Atk is pretty solid, too, so he doesn't have much trouble dealing proper damage. If anything there are very few things that can survive an Ignis proc from Lukas. But he has one big weakness and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Any mage whose name isn't Henry will tear him apart due to his atrocious resistance. He has no way to compensate this flaw which makes him an easy target for Reinhardt or -blade mages, both common in the Arena. With the buffs to Breath weapons Dragons are becoming more relevant and they are just as effective as mages in killing him since they target his awful Res. This heavily hampers Lukas and puts him in a niche spot right now, as the meta favors ranged attackers. Overall, Lukas does one job well and that is being a physical tank. While he won't be reliable for regular Arena runs he is worth considering in Arena Assault where you are more likely to face diverse teams. If any team happens to have only physical units and even more focused around Red or Blue units Lukas will most definitely wipe out that team by himself.
