Luck Incense, usually shortened to Lck Incense is a reoccurring incense consumable item.
Effect[]
In Shin Megami Tensei, Luck Incenses are used to increase a human's Luck stat by one.
In Shin Megami Tensei IV and IV Apocalypse, Lck Incenses are used to increase either the respective protagonists of the game or his demons' Luck stats by 3. Using them also restores all of the user's HP and MP, though in Apocalypse, this was changed to just HP. Additionally, Apocalypse also added a "Small" variant of Incenses, with Lck Incenses (Small) having none of the medicinal properties of the regular variant as well as raising the Luck stat by just 1.
In Shin Megami Tensei V / Vengeance, a Luck Incense can be used to increase a demon's Luck stat by 1. It cannot be used on the Nahobino, as he has his own variant in Luck Balm and, in Vengeance, Guest Characters.
In Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku, a Luck Incense can be used to increase the Luck stat by 1, but only when at the healing springs. It is also the only incense that are named after their respective stat.
In Persona 3 Reload, Luck Incenses I - III permanently raises the stat of any Persona's Luck stat, be it one of the protagonist's Personas, or any of the other Personas used by the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. How much Luck Incenses increases a Persona's Strength stat depends on the three eponymous variants of Luck Incense.
In Persona 5 Strikers, Luck Incenses permanently raises the stat of any Persona's Luck stat by one per use, be it one of the protagonist's Personas, or any of the other Personas used by the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
In the localization of the Devil Children series, Luck Incenses are called "Luck Gum," but in the original Japanese, they're still called Luck Incenses, though they use the English word "Luck" in the name.
In Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, Lck Incenses improves a Mirage Master's Luck ranking. Unlike the rest of the Incenses, usage of Lck Incenses does not carry over into New Game Plus runs due to it being a ranking system and not a traditional point system.
