GREAT MAIN DPS! Complete Lumi Guide & Build (Best Echoes, Weapons & Teams) - Wuthering Waves 1.4

This is a guide to the upcoming four-star electro character Lumi, who wields a broadblade. Lumi is set to be released in patch one point four, likely alongside the rerun banner of the second half of the patch. Lumi is the second electro-four star to be released in Wuthering Waves and is the first Electro Broadblade user. Lumi’s tags mention that she is a main D.P.S.

A five-star limited gacha broadblade that Lumi can use is the Ages of Harvest. The critical rate stat is great for Lumi if you want to play her as a D.P.S. Lumi’s tags mention that she amplifies resonance skill damage, so Ages of Harvest will probably be the best option for her. The attribute damage bonus is universal, so it is amazing for Lumi.

If you do not have Jinhsi’s signature broadblade but have Jiyan’s, you can use that on Lumi. The critical damage percent is invaluable to Lumi if you want to play her as a D.P.S. because she wants to achieve a crit ratio of one to two as a D.P.S. Once again, the attribute damage bonus is great for Lumi. She is tagged as primarily a basic attack damage dealer, so Verdant Summit seems particularly good on her.

A five-star standard gacha banner broadblade that Lumi can use is Lustrous Razor. Lustrous Razor is great for spamming Lumi’s Resonance Liberation, especially with its energy regeneration substat.

The best four-star broadblade for Lumi is unfortunately locked behind the pioneer podcast; Autumntrace. This effect is particularly useful for Lumi because most of her damage comes from her basic attacks. The critical rate is great for her to reach a crit ratio of one to two. This top-tier 4-star broadblade is a powerhouse in combat. Its primary attribute boosts critical rate, providing excellent scaling potential. The weapon's unique ability is remarkably user-friendly, offering a stackable Attack Percentage buff. This bonus is effortlessly activated by incorporating basic or heavy attacks into your combat routine, making it an invaluable asset for any resonator.

The best gacha four-star broadblade that Lumi can make use of is the Waning Redshift. This is particularly good for Lumi because she amplifies resonance skill damage.

An alternative gacha four-star broadblade is the Helios Cleaver. This weapon offers a dynamic but cyclical attack boost. Its key feature is a stackable attack percentage buff that activates after using Lumi’s resonance skill. The buff builds gradually, starting at zero and gaining one stack every two seconds, up to a maximum of four stacks. This means it reaches its peak effectiveness after eight seconds. However, there's a catch: once the buff hits its cap, it resets shortly after, requiring you to start the cycle anew. This inconsistency in maintaining the buff is what causes it to lag behind some other weapon choices. Despite this drawback, it remains a viable option, especially if you don't have access to superior alternatives. It can still provide a significant boost to your attack power when managed correctly, making it a decent placeholder until you acquire more consistent weaponry.

The best free-to-play craftable four-star broadblade that Lumi can make use of is Broadblade number forty-one. This versatile broadblade strikes a balance between utility and offensive power. Its standout feature is the substantial energy regeneration boost it provides as its primary attribute. This makes it an excellent choice for characters who rely heavily on their resonance liberation. The weapon's bonus ability is both potent and straightforward to maintain. It offers a significant attack percentage buff with a simple condition: keeping your health above eighty percent of its maximum. This encourages a more defensive playstyle while still rewarding aggressive combat. It's worth noting that the weapon's effectiveness assumes you'll maintain this health threshold throughout the entire fight. If you find yourself frequently dipping below eighty percent H.P. in actual combat scenarios, you may need to adjust your expectations of this weapon's performance downward.

Guardian Broadblade is the best free-to-play three-star option.

The best echo set for Lumi is a five-piece set of Lingering Tunes. The five-set effect is particularly useful for Lumi because she is a main D.P.S. who is on-field for an extended period of time. The Lingering Tunes’ effect has a significant ramp-up time to reach its full potential. However, it comes with a major caveat: switching characters resets its progress entirely. This is particularly noteworthy because frequent character switching is a cornerstone strategy in endgame team compositions.

An alternative five-piece echo set that Lumi can use is Void Thunder. Since Lumi mainly uses her basic attacks to deal damage, interwining a heavy attack is of no issue to her to make great use of this five-set effect.

If you do not have great substats for a purely five set void thunder or lingering tunes, you can use a two-set combination of them until you get better substats for a complete five-set of either.

The best main echo for a five-set of Lingering Tunes is the Mech Abomination. The best main echoes for a five-set of Void Thunder are the Tempest Mephis and the Thundering Mephis. The best main echo for a two-piece combination is the Flautist.

The best echo stats for Lumi are 4 cost of critical rate percent or critical damage percent, 3 cost of electro damage, 3 cost of electro damage, 1 cost of attack percent, and 1 cost of attack percent. An alternative echo stats arrangement is 4 cost of critical rate percent, 4 cost of critical damage percent, 1 cost of attack percent, 1 cost of attack percent, and 1 cost of attack percent.

Lumi’s substat priority is first energy regeneration until twenty percent, then critical rate percent or critical damage percent aiming for an optimal crit ratio of one to two, then attack percent, then basic attack damage bonus, then resonance skill damage bonus, and lastly flat attack.

Lumi’s recommended endgame stats at level ninety are fourteen thousand H.P., two thousand attack, one thousand two hundred defense, seventy percent electro damage percent, seventy percent critical rate percent, one hundred forty percent critical damage percent, and twenty percent energy regeneration.

Lumi’s skill leveling priority is her Forte Circuit, then her Resonance Skill, then her Resonance Liberation, then her Basic Attack, and lastly her intro skill.

The best team for Lumi is herself, Yinlin, and the Shorekeeper. An alternate team for Lumi is herself, Verina, and the Shorekeeper. If you do not have Verina or the Shorekeeper, use Baizhi. I do not think Lumi will be meta-defining since she is a four star main D.P.S. character, but if you are a new player without a main D.P.S. and you pull Lumi, you can build her to help you during the early portion of Wuthering Waves.
