The Best Eidolon for Honkai Star Rail's Wounded Build

The main focus of Luka's gameplay kit is a stack called Fighting Will which can increase ATK and give Bleed effects.

This mechanic will be more optimal in Eidolon 4 which can increase Wound's ATK for every stack of Fighting Will you get.

Apart from that, Eidolon 6 also really makes the DMG given by Luka very optimal because it will increase the DMG from Bleed as well as ATK from Luka's Basic ATK.

Priority Trace Build Wounds

Wound's Basic ATK is Direct Punch will provide Physical DMG in the form of one hit to one enemy target and also a stack for named mechanics Fighting Will.

The wound skill is Lacerating Fist will give Physical DMG and trigger DoT Bleed to be given to the enemy. Skill will also give 1 stack of Fighting Will.

Ultimate Luka is the Coup de Grace will give 2 stacks of Fighting Will and Physical DMG..

Apart from that, Luka will also get increased DMG on the target enemy for 3 turns.

The enemy will also get a Vulnerability effect which increases the DMG the enemy receives and is likely to give a Break effect which depletes the enemy's Toughness Bar.

Luka's talent is Flying Sparks will be active when Luka has got 2 or more stacks of Fighting Will.

Fighting Will will provide additional ATK and Bleed and change the blow from Basic ATK.

After using 2 stacks of Fighting Will, Basic Attack will be changed to 3 hits and one final hit called Rising Uppercut which gives more Physical DMG.

Apart from that, the last blow will immediately trigger DMG DoT Bleed which usually only appears at the beginning of the enemy's turn. 

The Wound Technique is Anticipator Luka will deal Physical DMG to the enemy and get 1 additional stack of Fighting Will at the start of the round.

The priority of Trace Injury is that you must prioritize all Traces because they are interrelated in optimizing Damage DMG.

Relic Recommendations for Build Luka Honkai Star Rail

DoTs like Bleed will get DMG increases based on ATK stats and not from Crit DMG or Crit Rate. So, you must prioritize ATK stats compared to Crit.

Stats what the writer recommends for Wound's main stats are ATK, Physical DMG, and SPD. 

Effect Hit Rate, Break Effects, and the Energy Regen Rate can be chosen to be a Relic slot filling option or to be the sub stat you are looking for.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing or Musketeers of Wild Wheat be Cavern Relic's choice for Luka.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat to increase ATK stat while Champion of Streetwise Boxing to increase Physical DMG stat.

You can use both Relics on 2-PC with other Relic pairs such as Messenger Transversing Hackerspace which gives bonuses to increase SPD.

The Planar Ornament section the author recommends Wounds is Space Sealing Station, Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise, or Fleet of the Ageless.

The Space Sealing Station will increase ATK and increase even more if the SPD stat is above 120.

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise increases the Effect Hit Rate and increases ATK along with the large Effect Hit Rate stat.

Fleet of the Ageless will increase HP and will increase ATK 8% if SPD is above 120.

Light Cone recommendations

Light Cones The Nihility path recommended for Wounds is similar to the Light Cone used by Kafka.

Light Cone options like Patience is All You Need, In the Name of the World, or Incessant Rain still the optimal 5 star Light Cone rarity for Luka.

The author prefers 4 star rarity like Fermata, Good Night and Sleep Well, and Eyes of the Prey better used for Wounds than a 5 star Light Cone.

For new players you can use Hidden Shadows and Void which is a 3-star Light Cone that is easy to get for Luka.

Recommended Team Composition for Build Luka Honkai Star Rail

Party Non DoT Luka (source: VCGamers)

Luka is a natural character to work with Kafka. Both characters are well suited as DPS and sub DPS in a DoT team.

If you don't have Kafka, Luka is still very suitable for use with other DoT teams such as Serval and Sampo.

Apart from that, Luka is also very good at being a debuffer in non-DoT teams. For example, you use it in a mono Physical party with Sushang as DPS.

Following are some of Luka's party recommendations:

  • DPS Wound: Wound + Tingyun + Asta + Luocha
  • Luka DoT: Luka + Kafka + Shampoo + Natasha
  • Mono Physical Wounds: Sushang + Luka + Natasha + Silver Wolf
  • Wound DoT 2: Wound + Serval + Shampoo + Luocha

Those are the build recommendations for the character Luka Honkai Star Rail. Top Up Oneiric Shard at VCGamers Marketplace yes!
