Ixia versus Lukas

Lukas vs. Ixia: Skills and Performance Breakdown (Guide & Tutorial)

In this analysis, we will compare Lukas and Ixia, two formidable heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). By examining their skills, base damage, and overall battle performance, we will determine who would prevail in a 1v1 scenario. This guide aims to enhance your understanding of both heroes and improve your gameplay strategies.

Lukas Overview

• Role: Fighter
• Skills:
  • Passive - Hero's Resolve: Gains Resolve over time, enhancing his damage potential.
  • First Skill - Flash Combo: A powerful area-of-effect (AOE) attack that can stun enemies and deal significant damage.
  • Second Skill - Flash Step: Grants mobility and boosts attack speed, ideal for engaging or escaping.
  • Ultimate - Unleash the Beast: Transforms Lukas into a more powerful form, greatly enhancing his abilities.

Ixia Overview

• Role: Marksman
• Skills:
  • Passive - Siphon Starlium: Provides a healing mechanism based on her damage output, making her sustainable in fights.
  • First Skill - Dual Beam: Fires energy beams that slow and deal burst damage, benefiting from mobility.
  • Second Skill - Star Helix: Provides crowd control by knocking enemies back, setting up for more damage.
  • Ultimate - Full Barrage: A powerful AOE attack that allows her to hit multiple targets simultaneously, enhancing her burst potential.

Skills Comparison and Battle Analysis

1. Damage Potential:

   • Lukas can unleash a devastating Flash Combo followed by his Ultimate, maximizing burst damage and crowd control. When in beast form, he gains significant boosts to his abilities, making his damage output exceptionally high.
   • Ixia counters with her Siphon Starlium, which not only allows her to deal substantial damage but also heals her, making her more resilient in prolonged fights. Her Full Barrage can hit multiple enemies, but in a 1v1 scenario, its effectiveness would depend on her ability to maintain distance.

2. Base Damage:

   • Lukas has a base damage mechanic that scales well with his Passive, allowing him to deal increased damage over time as he accumulates Resolve.
   • Ixia's base damage from skills like Dual Beam and Star Helix is strong and can be further enhanced through her Passive.

3. Battle Performance:

• In a direct confrontation, Lukas would benefit from his mobility and ability to engage quickly with Flash Step, allowing him to close gaps and deal damage. His Ultimate grants him significant buffs, increasing his chances of overpowering Ixia.
• However, Ixia's CC and ability to heal through Siphon Starlium could offset some of the damage from Lukas, especially if she manages to slow him down and reposition herself effectively.

To determine the victor between Lukas and Ixia in a 1v1 battle scenario without items, we'll analyze their skills, base damage, and overall combat effectiveness.

Skill Set Overview

Lukas

• Role: Fighter
• Passive - Hero's Resolve: Gains Resolve over time, which enhances his damage. Gains 2 Resolve with each instance of damage to enemy heroes.
• First Skill - Flash Combo:
  • Damage: 300 (+120% Total Physical Attack) for 1 stack; 50 (+20% Total Physical Attack) for the first hit of 2 stacks, plus 100 (+50% Total Physical Attack) for three spins.
• Second Skill - Flash Step:
  • Deals: 60 (+125% Total Physical Attack) through Flash Strike after dashing.
• Ultimate Skill - Unleash the Beast:

Ixia

• Role: Marksman
• Passive - Siphon Starlium: Each basic attack and skill applies stacks. Consuming 2 stacks deals damage and heals her.
• First Skill - Dual Beam:
  • Damage: 75 (+80% Total Physical Attack) per beam, can hit twice for double damage.
• Second Skill - Star Helix:
  • Damage: 200 (+60% Total Physical Attack) with knockback.
• Ultimate Skill - Full Barrage:
  • Damage: Base attack hits 6 enemies, each dealing 150 (+50% Total Physical Attack).

Base Damage Calculation

For the calculation, we'll assume both heroes have a balanced amount of total physical attack (let’s say 150 Physical Attack as a baseline) and start with minimal resolve or stacks for simplicity.

Lukas Damage Output Calculation

1. Passive Damage (First Few Seconds):

   • Gains 0.5 Resolve/second; after 5 seconds, he would have 2.5 Resolve.
   • After 10 seconds of fighting, assuming he attacks a couple of times, he can gain 2 stacks of Vigor.

2. First Skill (Flash Combo):

   • With 2 stacks:
   • Damage = 50 + (20% * 150) + (3 * (100 + (50% * 150)))
   • = 50 + 30 + (3 * (100 + 75))
   • = 50 + 30 + 525 = 605 Damage

3. Second Skill (Flash Step):

   • Damage = 60 + (125% * 150)
   • = 60 + 187.5 = 247.5 Damage

4. Ultimate (After Charging):

   • Assume 10 seconds for the ultimate activation; damage could be significant:
   • Damage = 300 + (100% * 150) = 450 Damage + additional aftershocks.

Total Damage for Lukas = 605 + 247.5 + 450 = 1302.5 Damage

Ixia Damage Output Calculation

1. Passive Damage:

   • Upon 2 stacks applied, she deals significant damage:
   • Siphon Starlium damage = 150% of Total Physical Attack + 200 + 10 (level 1 for example)
   • Damage = 1.5 * 150 + 200 + 10 = 335 Damage

2. First Skill (Dual Beam):

   • Damage = 75 + (80% * 150) = 75 + 120 = 195 Damage.
   • If both beams hit, total = 390 Damage.

3. Second Skill (Star Helix):

   • Damage = 200 + (60% * 150) = 200 + 90 = 290 Damage.

4. Ultimate (Full Barrage):

   • Damage for each enemy hit: 6 enemies (all on target) would give:
   • Damage = 6 * (150 + (50% * 150)) = 6 * (150 + 75) = 6 * 225 = 1350 Damage.

Total Damage for Ixia = 335 + 390 + 290 + 1350 = 2365 Damage

Battle Outcome

• Lukas Total Damage: 1302.5
• Ixia Total Damage: 2365

Conclusion

In a 1v1 battle scenario without items, Ixia emerges as the likely victor based on her skill set, damage output, and sustain through healing. While Lukas has strong crowd control and burst potential, Ixia's ability to heal and deal consistent damage allows her to outlast him in combat.
