Some people been getting frustrated with Luca in the mod, so thought i'd demonstrate that he's beatable, although extremely tough and requires you to use everything the game mechanics have to offer, and then also some good rng. You can reduce the difficulty by using savestates or reducing his stats using the editor (link in the mod thread in one of the first posts).
Normally, in this fight, i liked using Gantetsu for Water+Chimera+Alert, and Hix+Tengaar or Valeria+AnyHealer, but i used someone else's save for this fight and Valeria/Gantetsu weren't available in it, so i had to try something a bit different.
Potential improvements:
- for Hero, Gale could be used instead of Fire Sealing, but then he'd also have to have Fire Emblem and more speed-based gear (to ensure he gets to act before Luca), so i'm not sure which is better
- could probably give up on Chimera and have Rina do some extra damage with Lightning lvl 4 and 2, a bit risky with Alert though, so that could be swapped for Wizard
- shouldn't have cleared Panic on Feather, especially when he had Boost, hardly anything bad could happen, meanwhile he would have had a good chance at casting a free Mother Earth lvl 3 or 4
- should have brought some Revenge Earth scrolls to use after Feather's magic runs out.
- could put Waking instead of Warrior on Bob, seeing how he had an extra turn in his human form at the end
- Friendship is more powerful than Kindness, so i should have used Friendship on Rina and Kindness on Bob, not the other way around
- Water on Eilie was redundant, so she should've had Friendship (or Kindness) instead, that would probably result in more damage compared to having it on Bob
- Using yet two more Lighting casters would've probably been better than using Shin and Genshu, or maybe a Lighting caster and Camus to get rid of the soldiers quicker
