Rotation Tips

  1. Start with support/healer: Cast Resonance Skill to apply buffs, build Concerto Energy.
  2. Swap to sub-DPS: Apply elemental reactions and generate Concerto.
  3. Swap to Lumi (Intro): Apply Glacio Frazzle and gain initial buffs.
  4. Build resources: Use Normal Attacks and Skills to build energy/buffs.
  5. Cast Liberation: Unleash burst damage at optimal timing.
  6. Maintain DPS: Continue attacking during buff windows.
  7. Swap out: Trigger Outro skill, switch to support to restart cycle.

Tip: Always time your Liberation with full buffs for maximum damage output. Maintain Glacio Frazzle on enemies for consistent damage.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lumi worth building without her signature weapon?
Yes. Lumi performs well with F2P alternatives. Guardian Gauntlets is the best free-to-play option. Her damage primarily comes from her kit and glacio strike mechanic, not just the weapon.
What is the minimum Resonance Chain needed?
S0 is completely viable for all content. S2 provides the best value for most players. S3 and S5 offer significant damage spikes. S6 is luxury but provides the highest DPS ceiling.
What substats should I prioritize?
Priority: CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK%. Focus on Crit Rate to reach 60-70% first, then Crit DMG, then ATK%.
What team composition is best for F2P players?
Glacio + Aero.
Should I pull for Lumi?
If you need a strong sub-dps for your glacio team, Lumi is worth pulling. She is a solid S-tier character that performs well at S0 and scales nicely with investment.
