Player notes
Lutfi is a Legendary Seeker tagged with Iria, Alacrity, Union, SoC. In practical terms they cover flank assassination and Act Again kill loops. Untargetable-leaning debuffer/DoT specialist with passive damage amp and crit options.
Keep him safe off-angle while DoTs and debuffs amplify the team's real carry.
In the role triangle, lean on free damage into Breakers and respect Defenders. Stars and gear still matter more than matchup alone on hard maps.
Star plan on this page (“See guide”) is a budgeting hint: finish the first power spike that stabilizes clears, then reassess against your enabler and main carry before dumping every shard here.

Lutfi deep guide
Overview
Lutfi is a mid-premium tempo piece—strong when his kit conditions are respected, forgettable when you mash him like a generic attacker. Think of him as a specialist you promote when your main core already functions.
He pairs well with battery supports and maps that let him stack his identity over multiple turns rather than one-shot openers.
Openers
- Apply his setup condition first (marks, zones, or self-buffs—follow the skill table).
- Cash the spender only after the condition is live.
- Stay off hard role counters; pick free matchup damage when available.
- Use Act Again windows to double-stack rather than panic heal.
Mid-fight
On long bosses he ages better than pure glass assassins if you keep NRG healthy. On pure multi-wave maps he can lose tempo to Camelot/SP Samantha. Flex him in when your primary DPS is wrong for the matchup.
Investment
Medium. Raise stars once your enabler and tank are online. Magic or hybrid gear depending on his actual damage type in-client—follow the recommended weapon first.
Sample teams
Pitfalls
- Investing him before SP Inanna/Inanna exist.
- Spending ultimates into empty conditions.
When to skip
Skip if Col + Camelot already cover physical and you need magic/DoT instead (or vice versa).

- Trinket — Focus Lens: Crit lens for physical carries mid-game. Best when universal crit budget piece — highest build count in the DB.

Team plan
Lutfi wants an Act Again enabler and a Defender who holds aggro while they flank. Prioritize backline kills so kill-passives and multi-action loops fire.
- Open with Decoy when the board allows a clean cast.
- Keep reaction (Disturbance) online—do not strip it for vanity actives mid-fight.
- Basic attack (Hidden Piece) is for reposition turns or when NRG is dry.
- Count kill thresholds before committing—wasted openers cost the Act Again or NRG window.
