  • Lumi does not generate much resonance energy in her standard concerto rotation. Because of this ER is a very important stat for her in many team compositions - without it she'll be unable to consistantly access her Ultimate and as a result will have to extend her field time to make up for it.
  • Depending on the team Lumi is played within exactly how much you'll need will vary - we recommend starting with 150% - 160% ER and adjusting depending on your needs.

Weapons

Ages of Harvest (R1)

Jinhsi's weapon is currently also the best broadblade option for Lumi's damage, who benefits a great amount from the Skill DMG Bonus the weapon provides, as it boosts a good chunk of her rotations damage. The high base ATK, 24% CRIT Rate and 12% DMG Bonus the weapon additionally provides are also all stats that are welcome for her, making it a very high damage option

Verdant Summit (R1)

Jiyan's signature weapon that's not only fantastic for him but also usable on all damage-focused Broadblade users. Offers a huge main stat of CRIT DMG% granting excellent scaling, 12% permanent generic DMG% and up to 48% increased Heavy ATK DMG% after using 1/2 skills and or a Resonance Liberation.

Lustrous Razor (R1)

Top Broadblade option only in competition with some 4★ weapons with multiple copies invested or limited 5★ weapons. Offers high base ATK, ATK%, a good amount of Energy Regen to save at least 1 sub-stat on gear to be reallocated to better uses and a stackable Resonance Liberation ATK DMG% bonus that ramps up as you use Resonance Skills.

Autumntrace (R5)

Strongest 4★ Broadsword option, granting main stat CRIT RATE for excellent scaling and an incredibly easy to access bonus ability which grants a stacking ATK% buff that only requires you to use Basic or Heavy attacks during your rotation.

Waning Redshift (R5)

A solid F2P 4* broadblade option for any DPS character scaling off of ATK. The ATK% boost it provides when casting your Resonance Skill is great on most characters, and while the small energy generation it provides at the same time is more situational, it can be handy as well.

Helios Cleaver (R5)

A generic option, granting a stacking ATK% buff after using your Resonance Skill that starts at 0 and grants 1 stack every 2 seconds up to 4 stacks - reaching a maximum after 8 seconds. Buff resets shortly after the stack cap limit is reached after which you'll have to repeat the cycle anew. Falls behind other options due to it's buff being inconsistent but still a viable option if you don't have better.

Broadblade#41 (R5)

Another generic Broadblade option with a mix of utility and offense, granting a large amount of Energy Regen as a main stat. Also a reasonably strong and easy to maintain bonus ability that offers an ATK% buff as long as you remain above 80% HP. Our calculations assume you'll stay above 80% for the whole fight, if you can't you can lower this weapons performance.

72.78%
Discord (R5)

Discord is good for players looking to smooth out Lumi's rotation with some extra concerto and also for those hungry for Energy Regeneration for her.

Echo set

Echo set 1

Moonlit Clouds
Moonlit Clouds

5pcs Set: Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.

Lumi is a Sub-DPS unit through and through, aiming to buff the Resonance Skill DMG of the next character taking the field. Moonlit Clouds ensures that the buffs the incoming character gets is maximized.
Impermanence Heron

Transform into Impermanence Heron to fly up and smack down, dealing 310.56% Havoc DMG.

Long press to stay as Impermanence Heron and continuously spit flames, each attack dealing 55.73% Havoc DMG.

Once the initial attack lands on any enemy, the current character regains 10 Resonance Energy. If the current character uses their Outro Skill within the next 15s, the next character's damage dealt will be boosted by 12% for 15s.

CD: 20s

The best Echo to use for a Sub-DPS Lumi. This ensures maximum buff for the next character taking the field.

Echo set 2

Void Thunder
Void Thunder

5pcs Set: Electro DMG + 15% after releasing Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill. This effect stacks up to 2 times, each stack lasts 15s.

The second option for Lumi since you can also count on Lumi to deal damage when she's on the field. This is especially helpful in the early game when you don't have a defacto DPS in your team and you still need to run Lumi, or if you're running a double DPS team. Once you get a DPS though, switch to them and run Lumi as a Sub-DPS.
Nightmare: Tempest Mephis

Transform into Nightmare: Tempest Mephis and attack surrounding enemies, dealing 405.00% Electro DMG.

The Resonator with this Echo equipped in their main slot gains 12.00% Electro DMG Bonus and 12.00% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus.

CD: 25s.

A more damage-centric Echo for Lumi. Buffs her own Electro DMG so she can deal as much damage as possible while on the field. If you do not have access to Nightmare echoes yet, you may use the normal Tempest Mephis found in Huanglong.

Synergies & Team Formation

Synergies

Jinhsi

Lumi is able to significantly buff Jinhsi's nukes via her Outro which gives 38% Resonance Skill DMG Amplify. Synergy ends there, but it's simple and effective nuke damage potential. Be wary however that Shorekeeper will not work in that team, due to Jinhsi's Forte requiring the presence of Coordinated Attacks in her teams (something Lumi and Shorekeeper don't possess, but Verina does).

Carlotta

Carlotta does almost exclusively Skill DMG, which is exactly what Lumi amplifies by a whopping 38% on her Outro skill, making the synergy pretty natural. Be careful however that you have to time Lumi's Outro right as you activate your Forte nuke with Carlotta, else you won't get the buffs for your whole Ultimate. This means the team is rather awkward to play.

Verina

One of the usual Healing Support options that can slot into any team. Super easy to use, provides amazing team-wide ATK% buffs and 15% DMG Amplify with one of the fastest rotations in the game.

Shorekeeper

Similar to Verina, a premium Healing Support option who can not only slot into any team, but also provide insane 12.5% Crit Rate, 25% Crit DMG, 25% ATK and 15% DMG Amplify buffs to your whole team. One of the best but also easy to use characters in the game.

Archives and Stories

Forte Examination Report - Kaleido Refraction

Evaluation Basis: [Resonance Assessment 1159-G]

The exact timing of Resonator Lumi's Awakening is unclear. Spontaneous luminescence was observed since her childhood, and she gradually gained control over light.

Resonator Lumi's Tacet Mark is located on her right leg. Post-Awakening observations have not found any significant physical changes.

Lumi's Resonance Spectrum Pattern mirrors the characteristics of light. When she utilizes her Forte, she can convert light into Electro energy and supply it to specific materials.

Analysis of test samples has revealed a non-convergent Rabelle's Curve with a noticeable periodic waveform. Therefore, Lumi is classified as a Congenital Resonator.

Resonator Lumi's waveform graph shows elliptical fluctuations. The Time Domain pattern is regular, and no abnormal waveforms are observed.

Resonant Criticality: High. Resonator Lumi possesses high stability with minimal risk of Overclocking.

Records indicate no history of Overclocking.

Routine examinations are advised, with no current need for psychological counseling.

Mountain Memories
Unlocks at Intimacy Lv. 1

Outside an old house in Yuezhou lies a patch of reeds beside a lake. To the north, the water narrows; to the south, it widens, resembling a sliced pear, with the surface shimmering under the night sky.

The summer air hung thick with heat, lulling the world into a drowsy stupor.

In the quiet of the evening, Lumi nestled in her mother's arms on a rocking chair by the window. Her eyelids drooped as she gazed out sleepily. The soft breeze from a fan brushed her skin, making her squint with contentment. The chorus of insects filled the yard, and Lumi curled even closer to her mother, lulled by the comforting sounds of the village.

This small place was Changzhuang. No one could quite remember why it was called that, but they grew accustomed to this name over time.

The disasters following the Lament had spread across all of Huanglong. Even here, deep in the mountains of Yuezhou, they had left their indelible mark by cutting the village off from the outside world—technology crumbled, and the villagers returned to the old ways—farming, hunting, surviving as their ancestors once had. Life was dictated by the rising and setting sun. Over time, people in Changzhuang became used to the peace and simplicity of this lifestyle.

The day Lumi was born, the whole house lit up. The swaddled infant glowed softly, catching the eye of every villager. They gathered in the yard, curious to see the newborn who shone like a small beacon. Resonators were rare here, and ones like Lumi, with such innate power, were even rarer. But in a village as tranquil as Changzhuang, there were no grand challenges that even needed a child Resonator to solve. Therefore, Lumi grew up carefree, just like other ordinary children in the village. She learned the ways of the mountains and fields—how to track wild animal traces and how to distinguish which plants might sate a hungry belly.

People in Changzhuang enjoyed cooling off under the shade of a tree. As Lumi ran through the trees with her friends, her inborn light flickered as if performing a cheerful dance. The village elders lovingly called her "Sunshine," while her friends dubbed her "Lumi the Firefly." Yet Lumi often wondered about her strange gift, unsure of its purpose. More often than not, it was a nuisance. On hunting trips, her light would flash uncontrollably, startling prey.

After being asked to temporarily sit out from the hunts, Lumi's heart sank with a pang of frustration. Alone, she wandered to the marshes by the reeds and sat down. Her glow flickered, dimmed, and then brightened again as she practiced, trying to control the light. Finally, exhaustion set in, and she drifted off to sleep. Despite her struggles, Lumi never felt rushed.

Life in Changzhuang was slow, and there was always time to grow and to learn.

The shimmering surface of the lake returned to darkness. The night breeze ferried the croaks of frogs away. Tomorrow was another day.

Towards the Horizon
Unlocks at Intimacy Lv. 2

"Tuesday, clear skies. I watched the sunset from Caidong Peak! But Zhangzhang didn't come… She seems to have lost interest in this kind of thing..."

Lumi paused and closed her notebook in the golden light of the setting sun.

It was a thick hardcover notebook—a birthday gift from her parents, one she had chosen herself. Once a diary, it had transformed into an exploration journal as she grew older. As a child, Lumi was content wandering the pebble paths of Changzhuang, but now, those paths felt too small. Her curiosity stretched beyond the borders of the village. She longed for the roads that led to the world outside.

The only problem was—no one had found those roads in a long, long time.

Her father once told her about the many failed attempts. Over the years, many had tried to find a way beyond the mountains, but all had returned empty-handed, lost, or worse. Eventually, the villagers gave up, their focus shifting to more immediate concerns. Life in Changzhuang was demanding—farming from spring to autumn, then bracing for the long winter when the mountains would disappear under a blanket of silver frost, making exploration impossible.

Lumi understood the demands of life, yet her curiosity and yearning for adventure burned even brighter. She quickly gathered a group of friends and formed a small exploration team, determined to find a way out. But despite their excitement, failure kicked in—the aftermath of the Lament had seemingly twisted the terrain, eliminating every possible way out, just like it had their forebears.

At first, the setbacks didn't bother them. They were kids, after all, full of energy and hope. But as time passed, they drifted away. The older ones joined the labor teams, others lost interest. Lumi's once lively group dwindled, and today, her exploration ended earlier than planned as everyone was eager to hurry home before dusk settled in.

Lumi sighed.

She knew that for most of her friends, this was just a way to pass the time.

She stood up, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted toward the mountains, her voice echoing against the rocks and trees before fading into the evening air.

The sunset blazed across the sky, casting the horizon in shades of red and gold before melting into the soft kiss of the night.

Lumi smiled, patting her cheeks lightly. It didn't matter. The thrill of discovering something new, something unknown, still filled her with excitement.

"…Oh! I'll tell Zhangzhang all about the view when we meet for ice pops tonight. And Beihai, Ming…"

She whispered the names of her friends as she waved goodbye to the mountains, then turned and made her way down the hill, alone but content.

Neon City
Unlocks at Intimacy Lv. 3

"You're awake? Here, drink this."

As her eyes fluttered open, her parched lips met the cool, sweet droplets of water. Her hand instinctively gripped the container, and she eagerly gulped it down.

"Easy now, don't rush," the voice urged, gentle and concerned. "You'll choke if you drink too fast."

As the last drop slipped down her throat, Lumi blinked, her mind finally clearing. She looked up at the faces of her rescuers—a small squad, three of them, dressed in similar clothing. Their leader, a girl with a kind smile, helped her sit up.

"Are you from around here? That's a surprise. We were told there's no one living in these parts," the girl said, a hint of curiosity in her voice. "Guess we'll need to update our map."

"Thank you… for saving me," Lumi whispered, her words faltering. The world she knew was small, confined to the mountains and the narrow boundaries of Changzhuang. "A-are you from the outside?"

The squad exchanged glances, and it was then that Lumi noticed the emblem on their uniforms—a chubby hamster wearing a straw hat, grinning adorably.

A hand reached out, helping Lumi to her feet.

"Sorry for the late introduction. We're from Lollo Logistics, a delivery squad."

Months later, Chengxiao smiled, setting down the comb and patting Lumi's shoulder.

"Take a look. How do you feel?"

Lumi stared at her reflection, stunned by the unfamiliar face in the mirror. The girl staring back at her had neat curls and wore a clean, fitted Lollo Logistics uniform—looking every bit the city dweller she had become.

Chengxiao, the leader of the squad that had rescued her, had taken Lumi from the quiet of Changzhuang to the bustling city and taken her under her wing. She was quick-witted, reliable, and now Lumi's mentor at Lollo Logistics.

"I look… different," Lumi muttered, scratching her head shyly. "Thank you, Chengxiao."

"None of that formality now," Chengxiao laughed. "I'm off to deliver some documents. Cafeteria later?"

"Sure!"

As the door closed, Lumi returned to stare at the mirror, her gaze lingering on her reflection for a while.

Having just passed the Lollo Logistics assessment, she was still adjusting to city life. The city was a whirlwind compared to the quiet village she had left behind. The streets buzzed with life, day and night. Even in the dead of night, lights flickered, and voices filled the air. Walls and doors were everywhere, and restrictions at every corner. In Changzhuang, she could run free, straight through the open land for as long as she wanted. Here, every step had to be measured carefully. The crowded markets left her both energized and overwhelmed.

"Take it slow, Lumi," she murmured to herself. "No rush. No rush…"

Grabbing her straw hat, Lumi took a deep breath and opened the door, ready to face the city once more.

Through Waters and Mountains
Unlocks at Intimacy Lv. 4

"Squeakie, I'm feeling dizzy…"

Lumi murmured, leaning against the edge of the bed as the ship rocked beneath her. The waves crashed against the hull with a roar, and the violent turbulence made one feel like it might drag them into the depths. She clutched her hamster plushie tightly, closing her eyes, waiting for this tortuous journey to end.

Days later, the port finally came into view, where the sea met the sky. Seagulls squawked in the distance, and Lumi exhaled a breath of relief as she stepped onto solid ground. "Thank goodness," she muttered. Her two companions, Tangtang and Fulei, staggered behind her, still pale from seasickness.

"You two okay?" Lumi ran her fingers through her curls and led them to a nearby bench for rest.

"Lumi, was it this bad when you first came to Rinascita?" Tangtang, his head still drooping, asked.

Lumi chuckled. "Oh yeah! That's why I told you to stay fit. There are places way harder to reach than this."

Tangtang groaned, nodding. "Why did you recover so quickly? You were just as seasick as us a moment ago..."

Lumi grinned, remembering her first trip here with Chengxiao. "Trust me, I was just as bad. My legs felt weak, I wanted to throw up, and I almost swore never to set foot on a ship again!"

Fulei nodded in agreement, "The ship did rock hard. It was terrifying…"

Tangtang and Fulei were newbies who just joined Lollo Logistics and were assigned to Lumi's team for training. Lollo Logistics had entrusted her with guiding them through the ropes, but leading a team? Lumi wasn't so sure she was ready for that kind of responsibility. It wasn't because she hated caring for others; she was just worried that she might not meet these hopeful newcomers' expectations. Chengxiao had always made it look easy—could she really do the same?

"Lumi," Tangtang said, interrupting her thoughts, "You always talk about Chengxiao, but I've never seen her at the branch. Where is she?"

"She doesn't work in the field anymore," Lumi replied softly.

"What? But didn't you say she was an 'Outstanding Navigator' every year? Why would she quit?" Fulei asked, wide-eyed.

Lumi gazed up at the blue sky, the expanse above Ragunna remarkably clear.

"Because... of life," she explained, as she had once before in her childhood. "Sometimes life leads you down different paths. Solaris is huge, and being in Lollo Logistics means traveling year-round. Chengxiao wanted something more stable, so she moved on."

Tangtang tilted her head. "And what about you? Did your family mind you doing this?"

"They had their concerns," Lumi admitted. "But this is my life, and I love it—traveling, seeing new things, connecting people across Solaris. That's what Lollo Logistics is all about. Chengxiao taught me a lot, and I'll do my best to pass it on to you both."

Her words hung in the air as the two newcomers considered them.

Lumi smiled. "Life is full of comings and goings," she continued. "Some people get off the ship, others get on. But as long as there are those willing to carry the torch, our 'We Promise, We Deliver' motto will keep going strong."

Lumi stood up and gave a good stretch, Squeakie perched on her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek. "Rest for another ten minutes, then we're off. Oh, you want some famous Ragunna's triple scoop ice cream? My treat!"

"Yes!"

"Please!"

On the Road
Unlocks at Intimacy Lv. 5

Ever since its connection to the outside world resumed, Changzhuang had experienced a dramatic change. New buildings and amenities were everywhere, yet when Lumi returned home, she felt a deep wave of nostalgia.

Perhaps those who longed for change had already departed, like Lumi once before, while those who remained had maintained their old habits and daily rhythms. The sun was dipping low, and as she walked through the village, smoke from cooking fires curled lazily into the sky, mingling with the sounds of laughter and the hum of evening insects.

Her parents welcomed her home, placing a steaming bowl of noodles in front of her—the meat was generous, the broth rich, supplemented by a spoonful of fragrant chili oil.

Lumi dug in, the heat making her cheeks flush as she slurped the noodles eagerly. Her mother chuckled softly, passing her a glass of water.

"Slow down, Lumi, no one's going to steal your food," her mother teased.

After a deep sip of water and broth, she leaned back, letting out a contented sigh.

Her father, seated nearby, tapped his pipe. "Been away for a long time, huh? How's your work?"

Lumi smiled. "It's been tough, but things are getting better. Someone really helped me out—a hero from Jinzhou, actually!"

Her mother raised an eyebrow, amused. "Oh? Our little Lumi rubbing elbows with big shots now?"

Lumi laughed, her eyes bright. "It's true! I was struggling with some work stuff, but thanks to him, I turned it all around. Here's what happened…"

The next morning, with the village still shrouded in the quiet calm of dawn, Lumi left home to enjoy the morning landscape of the fields. It hadn't changed beyond recognition. It still bore the vestiges of the place that had shaped her.

She wandered without aim, lost in thought until a gentle pat on the shoulder brought her back to the present.

"Lumi? What are you doing all the way out here?"

Lumi blinked and turned to see Zhangzhang, her childhood friend, standing behind her, smiling.

"Oh, Zhangzhang! I was just… reminiscing. It's been a while." Lumi's gaze drifted to the newly paved road winding through the hills. "I can't even tell where we are."

Zhangzhang laughed. "Yeah, it just got finished recently—much smoother than before, huh? It was once your favorite place, you remember?" She shifted her gaze to the road and continued, "Not many people come through, though. But I hear your Lollo Logistics team visits regularly." Zhangzhang paused, intrigued, "Speaking of which, have you been to any cool places lately? Anything to share? You see, I've been thinking about leaving to see the world for myself as well…"

Lumi nodded and began recounting her latest adventures, sharing the tales of distant cities and unknown lands with her childhood friend.

When they parted ways, Lumi found a stone by the road and sat on it, propping her chin up as she gazed at the sky. She knew that she had to move forward—only then would she see new things, bring about change, and make a difference for others.

As night faded, the first light of morning washed over the slumbering mountains.

There in the distance, where the mountain path met the sky, the familiar silhouette of a Lollo Logistics vehicle, glimmering in the sun, was approaching Changzhuang.
