Luka only held vs Alice XVI due to the Spirits. However aside from binds, Luka is capable of a natural Serene Mind without Undine and Fallen Angel dance covers Sylph. So he'd hold extremely well until Alice gets him in a bind. As that Alice fight at the end of Chapter 2 needs Gnome to escape I believe.

Basically use a max level endgame Luka without Spirits. By max, I mean 80 which is the level when you fight Ilias as he doesn't continue leveling after that. So not 99 like most RPGs or 100+ like a lot of his late-game foes. (Although GC could probably whip up the dream level 99+ Luka to simulate him reaching max potential).

Alice XVI uses 3 hard-hitting magics, a charge spell that can use all 3 at once, Physical attacks, Status effect inducing, and lastly Pleasure and Binds. Luka can easily endure her magic or avoid it, as with Physical attacks. Status effects can be avoided with Fallen Angel Dance if he chooses that over Serene Mind. The only weakness again, is binds. Also he's unbelievably weak to pleasure. With Alice knowing his fetishes and weak points when subduing him, it's an instant loss if Luka's bound w/o Gnome.
