Wuthering Waves Lumi build overview
Lumi is a four-star resonator that uses the electro element and a broadblade.
Element | Electro |
Rarity | Four-star |
Role | Buffer/sub-DPS |
Best weapon | Lustrous Razor |
Best echo set | Void thunder or moonlit clouds |
Best echo | Impermanence Heron |
Main stats | Electro damage bonus, crit rate, crit damage, attack |

What are the best weapons for Lumi?
Lustrous Razor | Increases Lumi’s energy regen. When her resonance skill is released, it increases her resonance liberation damage by 7%, stacking up to three times. This effect lasts for 12 seconds | Standard weapon banner |
Autumntrace | Increases Lumi’s attack upon dealing basic or heavy attack damage, stacking up to five times. This effect lasts for seven seconds and can trigger once every second | Battle Pass |
Waning Redshift | Casting Lumi’s resonance skill grants ten energy, and increases her attack by 20%, lasting for 16 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds | Event reward |
Discord | When Lumi uses her resonance skill, she restores eight concerto energy. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds | All banners |
What are the best Lumi team comps?
As Lumi increases the damage of resonance skills, she can help to support DPS characters like Xiangli Yao and Jinhsi. You should also use a healer alongside them – Shorekeeper and Verina are best, but Baizhi is more than capable.
What are the best echoes for Lumi?
Here are the echo sets we recommend for Lumi:
- Five-piece set: Void thunder or moonlit clouds
- Two-piece sets: Void thunder or moonlit clouds
As for which specific echo to put in the first slot, we recommend the Impermanence Heron as it adds a boost to the current character, and the next one you swap in.
Impermance Heron | Transforming into the Impermanence Heron performs a dive attack, or holding the echo button lets you stay as the Heron and deal constant havoc damage for a few seconds. After the attack, the current character gains ten resonance energy and gains an outro skill boost for 15 seconds. This also gives a damage boost of 12% for the next character, for 15 seconds |
Stat recommendations
When choosing which echoes to equip her with, look out for these stats:
