Game plan

Lumi throws maces at enemies and recalls them back, hitting on both passes. Her Super creates three explosive areas of increasing size and damage; enemies in the biggest one are rooted in place, though they can still attack. She controls space and sets up kills.

1. Throw and recall maces so they cross the target twice.
2. Aim the biggest Super explosion at the priority target to root them.
3. Combine the root with your team's burst.

Drafting Lumi

When to pick

Pick Lumi in Gem Grab and Hot Zone, where the root from her Super lands on clustered enemies.

Who to pair with

Pair her with burst damage that punishes rooted enemies.

Ban or not

Rarely worth a ban. Dodge the biggest Super blast and dive her.
