- In Mystery of the Emblem, promotion gains for HP and weapon level consist of giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base value. If the character's value for one of those two stats is higher than their promoted class's base value, they will not receive any bonus in that stat.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Luke is one of the three Cavaliers acquired in the prologue, besides (potentially) the avatar. Compared to Roderick and Cecil he has the better base stats along with rather high growths rates in strength, speed and defense, which make him a solid physically-oriented growth unit that can function well in most classes. Due to how the game is structured, on Lunatic it is often not advisable to train too many characters from the Altean Platoon simultaneously, normally two is a good number to consider. Deployment slots during the prologue are limited, which forces Luke to compete with other units from the Altean Platoon from a very early stage. In addition to that, units like Caeda, Ogma, Athena and Cain sport better offensive bases which can sometimes make it difficult for the player to find a spot for him on the team depending on who else they are considering on training. After the prologue those units leave the player's roster for a while, however, which helps to give him a better shot at solidifying his niche as a strong physical unit. His base sword rank of D gives him a niche compared to Roderick since he's closer to C rank swords, allowing him to get anti-armor utility in time for Chapters 6 and 8 whereas Roderick would rather stick to training his lance rank, which forces him to compete with other strong lance specialists that are acquired during early game such as Palla and Catria.
In terms of reclassing, Luke can benefit from reclassing into classes such as Mercenary or Myrmidon to get a direct boost to his speed while keeping his sword rank or into a Hunter considering that he can make a strong Horseman, which is a class with 9 movement and a speed cap of 30 that allows him to utilize his sword rank as well as his built up bow rank while sporting superb growths in strength and speed at the cost of some defense. He can also focus only on his sword rank and then turn into a Horseman after promoting and only use swords, but then the player loses the benefits of attacking at range with strong weapons such as the Parthia in addition to the anti-flier utility; an Arms Scroll might be required if the player wishes Luke to reach A bows. On the other hand, his comparatively lower lance rank makes Dracoknight, a very versatile class that ignores terrain, an option that's probably best left for other units to handle. Despite this, Dracoknight and Paladin will bump him up to D rank lances which is only one rank away from being able to use the Ridersbane and the Dragonpike so this is still a path that can be be considered for him. As a Swordmaster he can get high speed very easily in addition to a faster access to the Mercurius alongside a speed cap of 30. During the early stages of the game there are units that join with much higher base stats such as Palla, Catria and Sirius, which gives them the benefit of being less reliant on their level-ups. Despite this, Luke is most often a solid and reliable unit to use throughout the entire game.
