Other Disruptor Adventurers
The kit, in short
Luxheart uses Heat to switch between Great Sword stances. Some moves release the stored energy as a firework-like barrage.
Summarised from the official description.
The Disruptor class
Disruptors control the fight. They hunt with a Rutaco Buddy, a tool-savvy native of Aesoland that uses the monster's traits and the terrain to create openings.
Every Adventurer also feeds the squad's shared energy for the Co-Op Skill, which only lands when the whole squad hits the same monster part within a short window.
Teams with Luxheart
- Thunder with Luka, Fated Adventurer (Thunder) and ArkayaLuka shoots from range, Luxheart dazes and opens weak spots, Arkaya shields.
Luxheart's skills explained
- Exclusive Trait Oh, So Brightly I Shine
- +40% Thunder damage while he has Heat.
- Co-op Skill Perfect Partners
- Joint 'iron blossom' attack with the Buddy over a forward area; a hit gives 2 Heat; hitting the co-op focus part advances co-op phase.
- Skill 1 Guard
- Blocks with the Great Sword; a Perfect Guard gives 1 Heat and lets Basic Attack follow with Fleeting Star III.
- Skill 2 Starlight Burst: Ignition
- Rising slash that gives 1 Heat, plus 1 more on hit. Heat caps at 6; Heat above 3 fades after a while, and gaining Heat resets that timer. Inside Fleeting Star, Starlight Burst I/II/III follow-ups give 1/2/3 Heat on hit.
- Skill 3 Grand Performance
- Burst skill, needs 4+ Heat: spends all Heat to hurl the Great Sword, which explodes for area damage scaling with Heat spent.
- Squadmate Skill Starlight Devastation
- When the Main Adventurer lands a successful react, extends the monster's next daze by 2s and deals severing damage with very high part-break efficiency. Once every 40s.
- Ultimate Heating Up
- Throws a firework bomb forward that dazes the monster and applies Suppression.

How to play Luxheart
- Heat (up to 6) is the core loop. Build it, then cash it in with Grand Performance at 4 Heat or more.
- From zero Heat, open with Starlight Burst: Ignition.
- After a Perfect Evade, hold Basic Attack for a charged Trailing Blade Slash. After a Perfect Guard, Basic Attack gives Fleeting Star III.
- Do not overcharge Charged Slashes.
- Open from the shoulder, not the head, and save the barrage for a downed monster or a team daze window.
Good matchups: Rathalos, Legiana, Kushala Daora.
