On 20 November 2012, playing against Danish team Nordsjælland in the Champions League, Luiz Adriano scored a controversial 1–1 equalizer. After an injury to a Nordsjælland player led to a dropped-ball, Willian attempted to return it to the Nordsjaelland goalkeeper, but Luiz Adriano pounced on the pass, rounded the goalkeeper and finished into an empty net.

In March 2013, Luiz Adriano indicated that he would be likely to accept a call-up for Ukraine national team if asked. He did not, however, have a Ukrainian passport when he was representing Brazil youth team, which made him ineligible to countries other than Brazil (or his ancestral countries).{{cite web |url=http://shakhtar.com/en/news/31468 |title=Luiz Adriano: Club history is not an empty sound for Brazilians |work=FC Shakhtar}}{{cite web |url=http://bigball.eu/en/press-center/newsfeed/id/zbirnu-ukrajini-pidsilit-sche-odin-legioner-1281/ |title=bigball.eu}}{{cite web |url=http://shakhtar.com/en/news/26820 |title=Fernandinho and Adriano – about girls, samba and shurashka |work=FC Shakhtar}}

Although he is capable of playing in other offensive positions, Luiz Adriano usually plays as a main striker, and is known for his technique, consistency, and composure in front of goal. A quick player who can score with both feet, he is also capable of using his physique to hold up the ball with his back to goal in order to bring his teammates into play.

According to Luiz Adriano's former coach Mircea Lucescu at Shakhtar, "He is one of those players, who rarely gets injured. He is a powerful footballer; he plays great in the air. Despite the fact that he is not tall, Adriano plays as if his height is about two meters! He fights for the ball in the penalty area, always looking for opportunities to net a goal. He is a proper striker."{{cite web |url=http://shakhtar.com/en/news/35824 |title=Mircea Lucescu: Bayern and Milan signed very good players |work=FC Shakhtar}}
