“I'm such a lucky guy....”
 ― Hardcore Leveling Warrior

Absolute Luck is the personal trait of Hardcore Leveling Warrior. 

Overview

Absolute Luck is an overwhelming passive skill that grants Hardcore Leveling Warrior a great amount of luck.

It gives him a very high probability of evading critical hits, finding rare items from defeated bosses, increases his evasion rate, increases the chances of winning mini-games especially gambling related ones, increases the chance of landing a critical hit and causes a situation to work in his favour in a time of crisis.

Absolute Luck perfectly syncs with Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Gambler class, allowing him to maximise the classes skills such as the bet. When playing gambling mini games, he is able to get overwhelming luck that allows him to win. His high luck stat coupled with his class allowed him to gain a fortune as a rookie gambler.

During the Leaf Dungeon Quest, Hardcore Leveling Warrior got tails on his Lucky Coin skill and noted that he hadn't gotten tails in a long time.

Although Absolute Luck may seem like a deux ex machina and fraudulent , the main driving force behind Hardcore Leveling Warrior's quick rise to the top is his ability to utilise both his Class and Personal Attribute strategically to win.

Drawbacks

It should be noted that Absolute Luck doe not mean 100% luck but only increases the 'probability' of the luck being triggered. For example, when he was at his peak as the NO.1 Ranker, with his Luck stat presumably at its peak and equipped with The Golden Armor and was an All-Stat, he was unable to avoid the attack by Zero's after being stabbed with the Paralysis Sword, although he was able to avoid a critical hit due his Armor.

Despite the great benefits of his personal trait, Hardcore Leveling Warrior stats and Level get reset no matter how he dies due to being a gambler.

Lucky Coin

Thanks to Absolute Luck, Hardcore Leveling Warrior became the best there was with Lucky Coin skill. The Lucky Coin skill grants him a random buff, but he almost always gets the exact buff he needs in the situation due to his overwhelming high Luck stat.

Lucky Coin is supposed to only have a 50% chance of activating depending on whether you get heads or tails, but Absolute Luck makes the success rate over 99%, hence it is almost guaranteed to succeed, but that is only if it is one coin at a time. If Hardcore Leveling Warrior uses several Lucky Coins at the same time, his 'luck' takes a nosedive and the chance of Absolute Luck being triggered significantly falls, which makes it a lot riskier.

Usage

Seeing as it is a passive skill, it is not used per say, this lists the times it was supposedly triggered. For the times he used the Lucky Coin, see here.

Instance	Description
HCLW Season 1 Episode 94	One of the unfortunate victims of Absolute Luck was Gumong, who lost 30 games of Rock-Paper-Scissors in a row despite needing just one win to take all of Hardcore Leveling Warrior's items.
HCLW Season 1 Episode 8	Using the Random Sword, Hardcore Leveling Warrior drew a Cracked Long Sword, and Soft-Textured Sword (which only managed to infuriate Rajie) before drawing Kubaba's Holy Sword that dealt the 999 damage to demons. It could be argued that Boing Boing Sword was a good draw as cute things are Rajie's weakness and Hardcore Leveling Warrior was able to block a physical attack which Rajie was using at the time.
HCLW Season 1 Episode 25	A more perfect illustration of his Hardcore Leveling Warrior's personal trait came during his dice game with the Spirit of the Mirror. Hardcore Leveling Warrior was on the verge of defeat and getting hit with a critical attack but he was able to roll five consecutive triples on a die in a row, followed by a six which is something with a 0.000000000000354470415% chance of happening. This allowed him to turn the tables and win the dice game. The Spirit of Mirror. The Spirit of Mirror who had the same stats, skills and everything as Hardcore Leveling Warrior couldn't reproduce this skill implying that Hardcore Leveling Warrior's personal trait cannot be copied.

Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 49	Hardcore Leveling Warrior was able to deal the maximum damage of 99999 with his All-In skill that ranged from 00001 to 99999 when he clashed with Zero.

HCLW Season 1 Episode 139	During his Trial of the Dragon, Hardcore Leveling Warrior's Absolute Luck failed to activate, but he somehow managed to clear the level. He theorised that he lost luck the higher the floor goes and his luck stat kept dropping. Hardcore Leveling Warrior was worried that he might even fail to get heads on his next flip of the lucky coin.
HCLW Season 1 Episode 152	During his battle with Team Taoist during the Combat Round, Hardcore Leveling Warrior got '777' jackpot after inserting a Lucky Coin into the Goblin's Slot Machine due to Absolute Luck.

Despite not knowing how to play Stand Up, Hardcore Leveling Warrior had a better hand than Hungry ghost despite the latter's 999 luck stat. ( Hardcore Leveling Warrior even said that it was dumb to challenge him to a gamble).
HCLW Season 2 Episode 109	Dragon of Evil used Dragon Magic - Extermination (滅) on the 666 Jackpot buffed Demon King Hardcore Leveling Warrior, but Hardcore Leveling Warrior dodged the attack. The Dragon of Evil attributed Hardcore Leveling Warrior's ability to evade his attack to Hardcore Leveling Warrior's personal trait, Absolute Luck.

Notes & Trivia

• In the Appendix about Personal Attributes in Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 22, the Author wrote that Hardcore Leveling Warrior's personal attribute was a 'Class Type'.
• This is supported by the original description that The Ruler being a part of his personal trait skill tree (though it seems to be a gambler skill). When Hardcore Leveling Warrior was about to defeat The Spirit of te Mirror in Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 1 Episode 25, he said that his 'True' personal trait was 'Absolute Luck' which was implied to be Transcendental Skill Type by the Spirit of the Mirror when The Ruler prevented him from using his Memory Erasing skill. At this present moment the exact nature has not been revealed.
• If he is a Class Type then we haven't been shown his other class and we still do not know any of his job advancements either or if he has any. Either the author made an error and retconned it later or Hardcore Leveling Warrior was lying about his 'true' personal attribute being The Absolute Luck which is possible as he is very secretive with his skills. Hopefully this will be cleared up in future Episodes. Due to the fact the ruler seems to be a gambler skill (Hungry Ghost used it), it brings some more mystery to the personal trait.
• It is possible that there are certain conditions that must be met before Absolute Luck is activated but this has not been revealed. It is also possible that Absolute Luck grants him 999+ 'luck' stat, similar to how Lu Bu grants Lu Bu 900+ strength, but this has not been outright confirmed. Despite Hungry ghost's 999 luck stat, he couldn't beat Hardcore Leveling Warrior in a gamble showing that even a 999 luck stat could match Hardcore Leveling Warrior's personal attribute.
• It is possible that the higher his level, the higher the chance of The Absolute Luck being triggered.
