Best Echo Sets for Luuk Herssen
Best-in-slot 5-piece set for Luuk. Provides Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG which Luuk scales heavily from. Twin Nova main echo further amplifies these stats simply by being slotted.
Viable 5-piece early/mid-game option. Grants Spectro DMG but lacks the Basic Attack DMG boost of the best set, so should be replaced when possible.
Luuk Herssen's Best Primary Echo
Twin Nova: Nebulous Cannon
The best Echo for Luuk — grants passive Spectro DMG and Basic Attack DMG increases. Its Transform-type active is not the main point; the passive buff is the value. Pairs well with Twin Nova - Collapsar Blade in other slots for combined Echo Skill synergy.
Mourning Aix
Second best option, especially if using Celestial Light set. Provides additional Spectro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG bonuses just by being equipped. Transform-type, so requires weaving its active into rotation if you want to use the transform damage.
Hyvatia
Situational pick to buff the next ally's damage. Generally worse than the above two for solo Luuk DPS but viable on certain team compositions.
