LC is awesome for damage right out of the crystal, his awakened ability just gives him a contingency if you get hit or accidentally push an opponent to the L3
LC only reduces power gain on power gain abilities. Small difference, but means it’s only effective on a few opponents.
No need to put your guard up. But it’s an important distinction, I have 6* Luke and that ability is only relevant vs a handful of opponents. Personally I don’t think Luke is as good as many others do now. Can do some good damage, but still not really an offensive champ.
In terms of favorable matchups Rulk loves going against ALL mystic class and both Magneto and isn’t afraid to block an upclose YJ sting or Bishop’s delayed L2. Even against Sentinel the L2 Incinerate through Block isn’t really a thing which is probably the scariest OFFENSIVE thing Sentinel has that you can’t avoid without power control and bating Sp1 nonstop.
Durability… Rulk in the long run loves the long fight as he is able to keep up almost on par with Angela in attack and overall Physical Resistance combining them only losing the Crit rating. Luke has a physical Resist too but I’m not 100% it’s on par
Niche:
Overall this is subjective but you're looking at 2 heavy hitters with large physical resistance. Luke can tank a bad L3 (let’s be honest we’ve all missed a combo or thought we had a few more taps on their block) and Rulk can tank Sentinel charged L2 (which besides being a dumb matchup isn’t very useful)
As far as REAL inmunities go Poison Immune is a dome a dozen with Hulk, Cpt/Ms.Marvel, Hela, Medusa, and Hyperion all beating him out in a straight 1v1 comparison
Bleed immune doesn’t really have a true heavy hitter. True Ultron and the Visions are powerful and King Groot when set up is kinda fun when you have 10 Perma Breaks and fury stacking with poison but none of them have that immediate KILLER status that LC can bring.
Overall while Rulk is more consistent, Luke has better Utility (L3 tanking and Bleed Immune) that overall make it so they don’t step on each other’s toes too hard. More like playing footsies 😂
Rulk is more consistent in attack and defense but LC can be played to exceed his attack.
Luke has better Immunities and better Niche matchups but Rulk overall has an entire class that he loves fighting
