Best Lumi build
The best Lumi build focuses on control to help both her and her teammates land hits more effectively. Choose the Grim and Frostbitten Gadget, which creates a slippery area around Lumi’s maces, making it harder for enemies to move freely. Pair it with the Half-Time Star Power to further slow down targets. This combo ensures you can land your maces more consistently and keep enemies right where you want them.
Gadget: Grim and Frostbitten.
Star Power: Half-Time.
Gear: Damage and Shield.
When it comes to Gears, the goal is to boost Lumi’s damage output and improve her survivability in fights. We recommend equipping the Damage Gear to enhance her offensive potential and the Shield Gear to give her extra durability during engagements.
Lumi’s stats and abilities
Lumi is a Mythic Brawler with Damage Dealer role. She specializes in long-range attacks and is expected to deal significant damage while lacking high durability. Her attack involves hurling maces at enemies, knocking them backward upon impact.
Basics
Lumi’s base movement speed is 720, which is the same as Lou, Jessie, Clancy, and many other Brawlers.
Lumi’s health varies based on her level. Below is her HP distribution.
| Level | Health |
|---|---|
| 1 | 300 |
| 2 | 3300 |
| 3 | 3600 |
| 4 | 3900 |
| 5 | 4200 |
| 6 | 4500 |
| 7 | 4800 |
| 8 | 5100 |
| 9 | 5400 |
| 10 | 5700 |
| 11 | 6000 |
Lumi Attack
Lumi throws her mace, damaging enemies as it moves forward. Unlike most Brawlers, she has two separate ammo slots, allowing her to use each mace independently. When both are used, she gets one ammo slot and a yellow bar, making the maces return to her, piercing enemies and dealing more damage than on the way out. Once they return, her ammo slots reset to two.
This mechanic is fun and unique, rewarding good positioning and smart timing for maximum damage.
Attack range: 8,67.
Same as Crow or Pam.
Lumi’s main attack damage scales with her level. Here is her damage distribution.
| Level | Throwing damage | Retrieving damage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 600 | 900 |
| 2 | 660 | 990 |
| 3 | 720 | 1080 |
| 4 | 780 | 1170 |
| 5 | 840 | 1260 |
| 6 | 900 | 1350 |
| 7 | 960 | 1440 |
| 8 | 1020 | 1530 |
| 9 | 1080 | 1620 |
| 10 | 1140 | 1710 |
| 11 | 1200 | 1800 |
Lumi Super
Lumi unleashes 3 circular explosions in rapid succession. Each explosion deals damage based on its size—the first is the smallest and deals the least damage, while the third is the largest and hits the hardest. Additionally, enemies caught in the third explosion will have their movement reduced to 0 for 1 second, though they can still attack.
The combined explosions deal high damage, and the 1-second movement reduction can help Lumi land hits with her returning maces more effectively.
Super has 7.33 range around Lumi.
| Level | 1st explosion damage | 2nd explosion damage | 3rd explosion damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1000 | 1200 | 1400 |
| 2 | 1100 | 1320 | 1540 |
| 3 | 1200 | 1440 | 1680 |
| 4 | 1300 | 1560 | 1820 |
| 5 | 1400 | 1680 | 1960 |
| 6 | 1500 | 1800 | 2100 |
| 7 | 1600 | 1920 | 2240 |
| 8 | 1700 | 2040 | 2380 |
| 9 | 1800 | 2160 | 2520 |
| 10 | 1900 | 2280 | 2660 |
| 11 | 2000 | 2400 | 2800 |
Lumi Gadgets
As usual, Lumi comes with two Gadgets to choose from. While both are effective, the second Gadget is currently considered the stronger option. The first focuses on dealing raw damage, whereas the second offers better control by disrupting enemy movement and positioning.
Internal Flames Gadget (14 sec cooldown)
When activated, Lumi’s maces create burning areas on the ground that last for 3.9 seconds. Enemies standing in the area can be hit up to 4 times. However, if the maces overlap, the damage won’t stack.
| Level | Damage per second |
|---|---|
| 7 | 240 |
| 8 | 255 |
| 9 | 270 |
| 10 | 285 |
| 11 | 300 |
Grim and Frostbitten Gadget (17 sec cooldown)
When activated, Lumi’s maces create an icy, slippery area on the ground. Enemies who change direction while moving on it will struggle to maneuver or escape, while Lumi and her allies remain unaffected. The slippery area also deals minimal damage per second, preventing passive healing. Additionally, this Gadget reduces the projectile speed of her returning maces by 10%.
| Level | Damage per second |
|---|---|
| 7 | 80 |
| 8 | 85 |
| 9 | 90 |
| 10 | 95 |
| 11 | 100 |
Lumi Star Powers
Just like her Gadgets, Lumi also has two Star Powers. In this case, there’s a clear winner. Half-Time stands out as the superior choice, offering consistent value in almost every match.
42% Burnt
Lumi’s Super creates a burning area on the ground that lasts for 4 seconds after each explosion. It deals 20% of the explosion’s damage and can hit up to 4 times if enemies stay within the area.
Half-time
Lumi slows enemies hit by her recalled maces for 2 seconds.
How to play Lumi
To unleash Lumi’s full potential on the battlefield, you need to play smart and take advantage of her unique mechanics.
Positioning
- Positioning is key. Keep enemies at the edge of your range to maximize damage when recalling your maces. Use Lumi’s best build features to slow enemies and make hitting them easier.
- Lumi’s main source of damage comes from recalling her maces, so landing hits with this mechanic should always be your top priority. After throwing both maces, it’s smart to step back slightly and move sideways. This helps line up your recall to hit multiple enemies and makes it harder for them to dodge. Mastering this movement will greatly increase your overall damage and control in fights.
Main attack tips
- Turn off auto-aim when playing Lumi. Her attack pattern relies heavily on precise positioning, both yours and your enemies’. To make the most of her maces, you need to aim manually and predict movement, ensuring your throws and recalls land effectively. Trust your game sense and take control of every shot.
- When using Lumi’s maces, try to keep enemies near the edge of your range. This makes it easier to hit them when the maces come back. It’s especially useful with the second mace, as a quick recall can deal extra burst damage.
- Against close-range assassins, avoid throwing maces too far. This lowers your damage because of the long return time.
- Remember, Lumi’s maces can pass through walls when recalled. If an enemy is hiding with low health, throw your maces and move toward them—this can land a hit through the wall and finish them off.
How to use Super
Use Lumi’s Super wisely to maximize its impact in battle.
- It’s great for hitting enemies hiding behind walls, thanks to its ability to pass through obstacles.
- Use the Super’s third hit to root enemies in place, making it much easier to land your maces.
- If an enemy is trying to escape, activating your Super can slow them down and let you deal maximum damage.
- For the best results, try using it when both of your maces are ready to throw. This way, you can follow up Super immediately with 2 powerful attacks.
How to use Lumi Gadget
- Use Lumi’s Gadget in narrow corridors or directly on top of key objectives. This makes it much harder for enemies to avoid the slippery area it creates.
- Avoid placing both maces too close together before activating the Gadget, as overlapping the slow zones can reduce its overall coverage.
- If you’re being attacked up close by a tank or DPS Brawler, throw your maces near yourself and activate the Gadget to slow them down and escape.
- Don’t hold onto your Gadget for too long. Use it as soon as it’s off cooldown to keep up the pressure and control in every fight.
Conclusion
Lumi brings a fresh and strategic playstyle to Brawl Stars, combining precise positioning, control mechanics, and unique damage potential. To truly shine with her, you’ll need to master her mace recall timing, make smart use of her Super, and consistently apply pressure with her Gadget. Lumi rewards skillful play and good awareness.
With the right build and practice, she can become a powerful asset in any game mode. Also, feel free to check out our Brawl Stars boosting page to learn more about this option.
