## Summary

Luca is a supportive-offense character, being able to interchange between his Sea Monster and Human appearances due to his nature as a shapeshifting ocean creature, being able to grant Tactics to his oceanic teammates while calling them to unleash the seas on the opponent team. He also uses of his stone-y self to pull the opponent's focus away from his teammates, while that same distraction changes between distracting and pulling focus away. His other specials deal huge damage, and base itselfs on cleansing harmful effects on the team, really pulling a table flip from the amount of harmful effects caused on his team originally meant to hinder, while his second passive shows his friendship with Alberto and lets them act like a great duo! Due to the nature of this character, he will interchange constantly between his both modes through helpful effects, which then refreshes the player's timing when playing with him on the team.
