Luck

Luck

Luck improves the following things:

• Increases the amount of Consumables dropped by enemies.
• Increases the chance that a consumable dropped is a Loot Crate (including those from Trees).
• Improves the Tier of Items found in Loot Crates and in the Shop.
• Improves the Tier of Upgrades being offered when leveling up.
• Some Characters, Items, and Weapons scale their damage with Luck.

100 Luck doubles the chances of Fruit to drop from enemies, while -100 Luck means none drop at all (except guaranteed Crates from Loot Aliens, Elites, and Bosses). 100 Luck also doubles the chances of turning Fruit into a Loot Crate — but because it also doubles the chance of Fruit, it effectively quadruples your chances of getting Crates from enemies (but only doubles it from Trees, as they have 100% base Fruit chance).

While Luck in itself has no limit, several of its benefit have maximums or diminishing returns. For example, the rarity of items and upgrades offered naturally increases with the wave number, and has a maximum chance that you already hit in later waves even with 0 luck. So additional luck only helps earlier in the game with getting Tier 2 and 3 items and upgrades. However it takes about 290 Luck before you reach the maximum on Legendary items and Upgrades.

Check Rarity of Shop Items to see details on Luck's effect on shop rarities.

Also note that each Item Box dropped reduces the chance of the next dropping, giving you some diminishing returns. (Fruit itself does not have this diminishing effect.)

Formula for loot crate drop chance:

Enemy_Box_Drop_Chance * (100% + Luck) / (1 + Box_Spawned_This_Wave)

Luck can be seen primarily as an investment into your economy combined with a method of Healing (especially alongside increased Consumable Healing Items).
