Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

Neutral IVs by default!

As a hero obtainable only through Grand Hero Battle, Lumera will always have neutral IVs by default. The only way to access IVs for this unit is through using Trait Fruits.

+Spd / -Res

The best IVs for Lumera are +Spd and -Res. Her Spd is at base 43 and a superboon brings it up to base 47, and further up to 50 after equipping Monarch Blade.

Her Spd is her best stat and is further prioritized by her Null Follow-Up 3 in her base kit, rendering combat as a pure Spd check.

Her Res is her least important stat and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Lumera up to +10 for similar reasons above. Her Spd is her most important stat and should be maximized as much as possible.

Lumera Best Builds

Godsword Lumera

HOT
： Monarch Blade ： Reposition ： Ruptured Sky ： -	： Atk/Spd Finish 4 ： Close Call 4 ： Spd Smoke 4 ： Atk/Spd Solo 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

Lumera's stats work well as a speedy sword unit. Atk/Spd Finish is used to boost her offensive stats while providing sustain. Monarch Blade, Close Call 4, and Spd Smoke 4 provide damage reduction to keep her alive while Atk/Spd Finish 4 sustains her HP. This build lacks Null Follow-Up; ideally she is receiving this buff through support units.

Distant Counter Lumera

HOT
： Monarch Blade ： Reposition ： Vital Astra ： -	： Distant Dart ： Close Call 4 ： Atk/Spd Oath 4 ： Null Follow-Up 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This build uses Distant Dart to retaliate against ranged foes. Vital Astra and Close Call 4 provide additional damage reduction, while Atk/Spd Oath 4 provides the most Atk/Spd boosts from one skill. Null Follow-Up is placed in the Sacred Seal slot to compensate for removing it from her B slot.

General Use / Budget Lumera

： Monarch Blade ： Reposition ： Moonbow ： -

： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： Null Follow-Up 3 ： Spd Smoke 3 ： Atk/Spd Form 3 ： -

How to Use, Explanation

This is a budget build for Lumera using cheap skills while retaining her role as a speedy sword infantry unit.

Lumera Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Lumera Roles

Lumera - Dragon Monarch Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Lumera is a close physical attacker (range = 1). Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage she deals will be equivalent to her Atk minus the foe's Def stat.

Lumera Strengths

Monarch Blade grants bonus stats, true damage, and damage reduction, and applies Guard

Lumera's Monarch Blade grants a flat Spd+3, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat, applies a Guard effect onto the foe, deals damage equal to 15% of Lumera's Spd, and applies Spd-based damage reduction up to 40%.

This weapon has almost everything that a modern day speedy infantry unit would need. It has bonus stats, applies Guard, true damage, and damage reduction.

The only things missing are an accelerated Special trigger, and a Distant Counter effect. While these effects are powerful and make Lumera a bit lacking, these can be worked around.

Lumera Weaknesses

No accelerated Special trigger

Monarch Blade lacks an accelerated Special trigger, which makes Lumera quite slow at triggering Special skills.

Most modern weapons have an accelerated Special trigger, allowing their wielders to quickly trigger their Specials. Lumera will require low-cooldown Specials.like Ruptured Sky or Vital Astra in order to keep up.
