Potential Upgrades

Potential Effects

Potential 3-1 is important because it adds the Bullet tag to Machine Gun, allowing S.S.S to buff basic attacks. Potentials 5 and 6 improve critical stats for more consistent damage.

Manifest Ego

E2 provides a significant damage boost to all bullet cards. E6 is extremely important because it makes the first Launcher Bullet each turn free, reducing AP pressure and enabling more combos.

How to Play Lucas in Chaos Zero Nightmare?

Lucas builds his gameplan around generating and consuming Launcher Bullets. His Extended Magazine upgrade produces one bullet at the beginning of each turn, and getting the Initiation epiphany ensures this card starts in your opening hand every battle. These generated bullets deal direct damage to one target while simultaneously hitting every other enemy on the field.

Your setup priority is activating Extended Magazine first, then playing R.P.G-7. This combination is Lucas's engine - R.P.G-7 stays active throughout the fight and deals fixed AOE damage whenever any bullet card gets exhausted. Before spending your generated bullets, play S.S.S to boost their damage by 40% for that turn.

Flame Thrower serves as Lucas's burst damage option, especially with the epiphany that triggers a second wave of damage on critical hits. Flashbang provides defensive utility by stacking Weaken debuffs, where five stacks reduce five incoming attacks by 25% each - helpful when shields aren't enough.

AP management matters for Lucas since his cards run expensive, particularly Flame Thrower at 2 AP per cast. Manifest Ego 6 solves this pressure by reducing the first Launcher Bullet's cost to zero each turn. When building your deck, prioritize getting copies in this order: R.P.G-7, Extended Magazine, then Flame Thrower. Remove Shielding Incendiary Bomb early since Lucas doesn't benefit from self-shields.
