Wuthering Waves Lumi Character Build Guide

Lumi has made her debut in Wuthering Waves, enhancing the game’s roster as an Electro Broadblade user. Positioned as a compelling 4-star alternative to Calcharo, she provides a more accessible option for players who want a strong main DPS character without the necessity of premium resources. While the latest 5-star characters, such as Camellya, may deliver higher damage outputs, Lumi stands as a reliable choice for players, especially those who might have already dedicated Xiangli Yao to another team. With the right build, Lumi can demonstrate impressive performance, making her ideal for budget-conscious team configurations.

As is often the case with leading DPS characters, Lumi’s effectiveness hinges significantly on how she is equipped. Luckily, her versatile kit allows her to take full advantage of widely available weapons and echo sets, many of which can be utilized by other characters too. This means players can optimize her setup without needing to invest in exclusive resources. Below is a comprehensive guide to crafting Lumi’s build for optimal gameplay in Wuthering Waves.

Best Echoes for Lumi in Wuthering Waves

Lumi’s optimal setup closely resembles those of characters like Xiangli Yao and Yinlin, especially regarding favored echo sets and the primary stats for echoes. The 5-piece Lingering Tunes set is the best option, when paired with the Mech Abomination echo, as this combination not only offers a significant ATK boost but also effectively maintains its 5-piece effect, permitting Lumi to elevate her Electro DMG on the 3-cost echo main stat. This synergy ensures consistent performance and impressive damage output, making it a premier choice for her build.

If players do not have high-quality Lingering Tunes pieces, the 5-piece Void Thunder set serves as a reliable alternative. For their primary echo in this case, players can choose between Tempest Memphis and Thundering Memphis, based on which echo provides the better sub-stats. Additionally, mixing pieces from Lingering Tunes and Void Thunder can be an effective interim strategy until players secure all the desired pieces for a full 5-piece Lingering Tunes setup.

Lingering Tunes	2pc : ATK +10% 5pc: While on the field, ATK +5% every 1.5s, stacking up to 4 times. Outro Skill DMG increases by 60%.
Void Thunder	2pc: Electro DMG +10% 5pc: Electro DMG +15% after using a Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill. This bonus stacks up to 2 times, with each stack lasting for 15s.

Lumi’s main stat selection is straightforward, enabling players to quickly customize her echoes for maximum damage. For her 4-cost echo, players should highlight either Crit Rate or Crit DMG, depending on which balance suits her Crit ratio. The 3-cost echoes ideally should focus on Electro DMG Bonus, while ATK% remains a great alternative, especially with the Void Thunder set. Lastly, ATK% is recommended for the 1-cost echoes.

For sub-stats, achieving an Energy Regen rate of around 20% is crucial, allowing Lumi to adeptly manage her Resonance Liberation. Furthermore, a strong Crit Rate and Crit DMG ratio should be prioritized, followed by ATK% and Basic ATK. Other beneficial sub-stats may include Resonance Skill Bonus or Flat ATK, both contributing incremental enhancements to her overall performance.

Top Weapons for Lumi in Wuthering Waves

As a 4-star character, Lumi does not have a designated signature weapon; however, her top weapon choices align closely with Jinhsi’s, which emphasizes similar stats. Her premier option is the Ages of Harvest, a limited 5-star weapon that provides Attribute DMG as well as bonuses for Crit Rate and Resonance Skill, greatly enhancing her capabilities. Another strong candidate is Verdant Summit, the signature weapon of Jiyan, which offers Crit DMG, Attribute DMG, and Basic ATK DMG tailored for Lumi’s needs. For those seeking a more accessible 5-star option, the Lustrous Razor emerges as a great alternative, providing Energy Regen that enables players to lower the emphasis on that stat in echoes.

Among the 4-star selections, Autumntrace is Lumi’s standout choice, delivering a notable ATK boost; however, it is not free-to-play (F2P) friendly as it is only obtainable through the Battle Pass. A gacha alternative is the Helios Cleaver, which offers a similar effect. For F2P players, the craftable Broadblade #41 shines as the ideal 4-star weapon, providing a reliable and accessible option. Lastly, newer players can benefit from the 3-star Guardian Broadblade, which serves as a commendable starter weapon until better options become accessible.

Prioritizing Lumi’s Forte in Wuthering Waves

As a primary DPS character, it is imperative for players to prioritize leveling Lumi’s Forte to maximize her damage potential. To make the most of resources while ensuring optimal performance, the suggested leveling order is as follows:
