Best Echo Sets for Luuk Herssen
This is the best set to use on Luuk Herssen for the stats it provides. He primarily scales off Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG, which he can maximize with his kit. The Echo, Twin Nova - Nebulous Cannon, further enhances this effect by simply having Luuk equip it in the main slot.
This secondary set is quite viable on Luuk Herssen, as it provides a decent increase in Spectro DMG, similar to his best set. However, unlike his best-in-slot set, it doesn't provide a boost to Basic Attack DMG. You can use this early on, but make sure to replace it later on.
Luuk Herssen's Best Primary Echo
Twin Nova: Nebulous Cannon
The best Echo for Luuk Herssen since it gives him a passive increase to Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG. While it's a Transform-type Echo, it doesn't really deal much damage on its own. You mainly want to use this for its passive. If you have Twin Nova - Collapsar Blade equipped in another slot, the Echo Skills combine and deal more damage.
Mourning Aix
Second best option for Luuk. Best choice if you're using the Celestial Light set. Gives an additional Spectro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG bonus by simply equipping it. Transform-type Echo, so you will have to weave it into your combos.
Hyvatia
Can be a situational choice for Luuk if you want to buff the next ally's damage. This is often worse than his two best echo options, but is viable if you're running another damage dealer on the team.
