“	No matter how quiet a village you hail from, in the hands of a capable teacher, one can become every bit as strong as a royal knight. I find that thought quite inspiring.	”	— Lukas

Lukas (Japanese: ルカ Luka) is a soldier appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He is one of the nobles comprising the Deliverance, and goes to the village of Ram to request the help of General Mycen.

Fire Emblem Gaiden

Role

Lukas is one of the first recruited characters in Gaiden; he is also the first soldier to join Alm's group.

Lukas appears in Ram village and extends invitation to Alm to join the Deliverance after Mycen rejects the offer. This is Lukas' only story role and he has no further actions or dialogue for the rest of Gaiden.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Lukas starts out as one of your strongest units, already having enough speed to double essentially all early game enemies, save for Mercenaries and the occasional boss, as well as enough defense to take little damage from enemy counterattacks. Lukas is perfect for setting up kills for the villagers to reach promotion level, and as long as he has food equipped he faces essentially no risk of death in doing so. After the villagers promote and become more competent units, Lukas can still fulfill his niche as a tank and safely weaken enemies for offensively limited units, i.e. Silque and any villager turned Archer, to secure kills and access their own promotions earlier. Using Lukas in this way practically guarantees that he will reach level seven by the time you arrive at the Deliverance Hideout, at which point he can promote into a Knight and get enough defense and HP to become a near perfect tank against essentially all enemies in the finale of Act I.

Beyond Act 1, problems begin to arise for Lukas. The first being the increasing prevalence of magic-users in Act 3 and beyond. Lukas' base two resistance accompanied by a low speed growth will ensure that most magic-users will either tear through his HP very quickly or outright one-round him. Second, the four movement of all armored classes makes it very difficult for Lukas to keep pace with the army on the massive, empty maps of this game or reach the few choke points to make use of Lukas' tankiness. This weakness can be alleviated by using Silque's Warp on him, but since Silque can only warp once per turn, Lukas faces serious competition for this preference from units who are simply better. Lukas' perpetually low movement also puts him at constant risk of being attacked by Witches which can warp anywhere on the map and target isolated units. Since Lukas will end up with movement so much lower than his peers, he will frequently end up isolated and be pestered by them. After a solid performance in Act I, Lukas is hampered by the constraints of the Soldier line and falls behind in general combat performance, stats, and utility.

Fortunately, Lukas does have one saving grace that allows him to be useful beyond Act I. In having perfect availability in Alm's route, Lukas is perhaps the best candidate for the Pitchfork, a free DLC item which allows him to reclass to a villager at the Thieves' Shrine and afterwards reclass to a Mercenary. This promotion line raises Lukas' speed to a level which actually allows him to double enemies consistently. Moreover, when he becomes a Dread Fighter, he will get Apotrope to halve all magical damage in addition to getting seven movement, practically eliminating his weakness to magical users and witches. Reclassing Lukas does negate his tankiness as he relied on the Soldier class line's bases to become tanky beyond the early game, but the boons of general combat domination and high movement that Dread Fighters enjoy are well worth the cost.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are two different variations of Lukas available to Heroes, both of which are tied to his storyline appearance in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. The normal variation of Lukas is one of the characters added to the game in the World of Shadows update, and became available for summoning by players on April 14, 2017. A picnic variation of Lukas was made available between April 19, 2019 and May 19, 2019 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the A Season for Picnics update.

Personality and character

In the original Gaiden, Lukas had little characterization or past aside from his status as a soldier in the Deliverance.

In Echoes: Shadows of Valentia his character as well as the Deliverance itself have been expanded. Lukas, as well as the leaders of the Deliverance, are Zofian nobility of varying rank. He is shown to have a very calm, reliable, and professional front, never losing his temper during dialogue. It is for this reason that he fears coming off as cold or detached. Despite feeling that this is unusual for him, he is still appreciated for his calm demeanor.
