How To Counter Lukas Using Freya

Lukas versus Freya

Lukas vs Freya: Head-to-Head Analysis (No Items)

Let's analyze the battlefield scenario between Lukas and Freya without any items. We'll evaluate their damage output, survivability, and utility, assuming both heroes have a base Physical Attack (PA) of 250.

1. Skill Damage Computation

Lukas’ Skills Recap:

1. Flash Step → Flash Strike (Enhanced)

   • Damage: $$60 + (125\% \text{ of } 250) = 60 + 312.5 = 372.5 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     

2. Flash Combo with 2 Vigor Stacks (Pulverize + Spins)

   • Pulverize Damage: $$300 + (120\% \text{ of } 250) = 300 + 300 = 600 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     
   • Spin Damage (3 hits): $$3 \times (100 + 50\% \text{ of } 250) = 3 \times (100 + 125) = 3 \times 225 = 675 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     
   • Total for Flash Combo: $$600 + 675 = 1,275 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     

3. Shockwave Blast (Initial Blast + 3 Aftershocks)

   • Initial Blast: $$300 + (100\% \text{ of } 250) = 300 + 250 = 550 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     
   • Aftershocks: $$3 \times [80 + (25\% \text{ of } 250)] = 3 \times (80 + 62.5) = 3 \times 142.5 = 427.5 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
     
   • Total for Shockwave Blast: $$550 + 427.5 = 977.5 \text{ Physical Damage}$$

Total Potential Damage Output for Lukas:

1. Flash Strike: 372.5
2. Flash Combo: 1,275
3. Shockwave Blast: 977.5

Total Damage:

$$372.5 + 1,275 + 977.5 = 2,625 \text{ Physical Damage}$$

---

Freya’s Skills:

1. Leap of Faith (Damage Range: 200–300)

   • Assuming Average Damage:
   $$\text{Average Damage} = \frac{200 + 300}{2} = 250 + (80\% \text{ of } 250)$$
   
   • Calculation:
   $$250 + (0.8 \times 250) = 250 + 200 = 450 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   

2. Spirit Combo (Average Damage)

   • First Cast Damage (Assuming Average):
   $$\text{Average Damage} = \frac{20 + 230}{2} + (90\% \text{ of } 250) = 125 + 225 = 350 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   
   • Second Cast Damage:
   • Since it costs 2 stacks of Sacred Orb, we'll assume she has enough stacks.
   • Third Cast Damage (Aerial Smash):
   $$\text{Average Damage} = \frac{26 + 276}{2} + (108\% \text{ of } 250) = 151 + 270 = 421 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   

3. Ultimate Skill: Valkyrie Descent

   • Initial Shield:
   $$\text{Average Shield} = \frac{600 + 900}{2} = 750 + (180\% \text{ of } 250) = 750 + 450 = 1,200 \text{ Shield}$$
   
   • Basic Attack Damage (Ranged with Splash Damage):
   • Assumes Freya can attack twice with the bonus stacks.
   • Total Damage per Attack:
   $$450 + 30\% \text{ of } 250 = 450 + 75 = 525 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   
   • Assuming she gets 6 stacks:
   $$\text{Total Damage from Basic Attacks} = 6 \times 525 = 3,150 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   

---

Total Potential Damage Output for Freya:

1. Leap of Faith: 450

2. Spirit Combo (Total Average):

   • First Cast: 350
   • Second Cast: 350
   • Third Cast: 421
   • Total: $350 + 350 + 421 = 1,121$

3. Ultimate (Basic Attack Total):

   $$3,150 \text{ Physical Damage}$$
   

Total Damage:

$$450 + 1,121 + 3,150 = 4,721 \text{ Physical Damage}$$

2. Survivability Comparison

• Lukas:

  • Gains Resolve and uses Hero's Resolve for sustainability.
  • Increases movement speed and defense in Beast Form, which enhances survivability.
  • Flash Step provides mobility and attack range increases.

• Freya:

  • Gains a shield from her skills and Valkyrie state, enhancing sustainability.
  • Her Basic Attacks become ranged, giving her an advantage in terms of safety.
  • The Valkyrie state also allows her to deal damage while being difficult to target.

3. Skill Utility and Crowd Control (CC)

• Lukas:

  • Flash Combo provides brief stuns and crowd control effects.
  • Shockwave Blast has significant AOE damage potential.

• Freya:

  • Leap of Faith can pull enemies towards her, providing initiation.
  • Spirit Combo has a slow effect, which aids in controlling the fight.

4. Battle Simulation and Outcome Prediction

1. Engage:

   • Freya initiates with Leap of Faith, dealing 450 Physical Damage.
   • Lukas responds with Flash Step → Flash Strike, dealing 372.5 Physical Damage.

2. Damage Exchange:

   • Freya uses Spirit Combo, dealing an average of 350 (1st cast).
   • Lukas follows up with Flash Combo, dealing 1,275 Physical Damage.

3. Freya’s Ultimate Activation:

   • Freya activates Valkyrie Descent, gaining 1,200 Shield and enhancing her damage output.
   • Lukas uses Shockwave Blast, dealing 977.5 Physical Damage.

---

Final Health Status

• Lukas Total Damage Taken:

$$450 + 350 + 1,275 = 2,075 \text{ Physical Damage}$$

• Freya Total Damage Taken:

$$372.5 + 1,275 + 977.5 = 2,625 \text{ Physical Damage}$$

---

Conclusion: Freya Prevails

• Freya has a higher total damage output due to her Valkyrie state and the ability to deal ranged damage while being shielded.
• She can mitigate damage with her shields and deal significant damage over time through her Basic Attacks.
• In a 1v1 scenario, Freya is likely to have the advantage due to her higher survivability, damage output, and control, especially in the extended battle without item influence.
