shining force ii: characters: the shining force: luke
BDMN Luke

Luke, Birdman of the Shining Force

Luke, Bird Battler of the Shining Force

Name: Luke
Japanese: Rudo (Trans: Ludo)
Race: Birdman
Class: Birdman (BDMN)
Promotion: Bird Battler (BDBT)

You'll meet Luke for the first time when you go to speak with King Bedoe and Volcanon. He's a friend of Peter's. When you return to Polca and get the raft, Luke will leave the town with you and then ask to join.

A mediocre figher at best, there actually isn't much difference between Luke and Skreech. Of all the fliers, I'd go for Peter anyday! With a bit of work, however, Luke can of course be a valuable member of the Force.

Luke's Headquarters Quote:
"I love swooping in for the kill!"

The graphs below show the growth rate of Luke's statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.
