While Luuk is one of the best DPS and has quite a free-to-play-friendly gear setup, he only has one Sonata option. The Rite of the Gilded Revelation is undoubtedly a set tailor-made for him, and he will not work with anything else.

It gives you a 10 percent Spectro and Basic Attack Damage bonus and further amplifies the latter by another 40 percent when using a Liberation. You will also gain an additional 10 percent Spectro Damage bonus as part of the two-piece.

Here are the stat priorities:

  • Cost 4: Crit. Rate or Crit. DMG
  • Cost 3: Spectro Damage Bonus
  • Cost 3: Spectro Damage Bonus
  • Cost 1: ATK%
  • Cost 1: ATK%
  • Sub stats: Crit. Rate, Crit. DMG, ATK%, Basic Attack damage bonus

Best Main echo for Luuk

The 4 cost echo for the Rite of Gilded Revelation set is Hyvatia in Wuthering Waves. Unfortunately, its bonus is not compatible with Luuk Herssen. So use the Twin Nova – Nebulous Cannon as your Main Echo. It grants you a Basic Attack and Spectro Damage bonus.


Best Weapons for Luuk Herssen in Wuthering Waves

1) Daybreaker’s Spine

Luuk’s best-in-slot and signature weapon is the Daybreaker’s Spine, an exclusive 5-star Gauntlet. It suits him for various reasons, as it can buff the user’s attack by 12 percent, and dealing Basic Attack damage grants a 20 percent Spectro bonus. Inflicting Tune Strain/ Shifting also gives you a 20 percent Basic Attack damage amplification that ignores 10 percent of the target’s DEF.

2) Pulsation Bracer

The second-best weapon choice for him is the Pulsation Bracer, which is completely free and can be obtained from the Standard Banner. It gives you a 12 percent attack bonus, and when you attack enemies with Tune Strain/ Interfered, it gives you a 6% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 3s, stacking up to 4 times.

3) Other options

Do note that while some of these Gauntlets can work for him, their damage will be significantly lower, so it is ideal to use the Pulsation Bracer instead if you cannot pull for his signature. Here are the options:

  • Abyss Surges
  • Aether Strike
  • Celestial Spiral

Best team for Luuk Herssen in Wuthering Waves

Similar to his weapon choice, the team setups for Luuk are also quite F2P-friendly. Here are some examples:

  • Lynae, Luuk, Mornye
  • Sanhua, Luuk, Mornye
  • Sanhua, Luuk, Shorekeeper
  • Sanhua, Luuk, Verina/ Baizhi

You will at least need Mornye in Wuthering Waves, as she can buff the Tune mechanics that Luuk Herssen utilizes. Else his damage will be significantly lower.
