Sure, it's not the fastest Necropolis solo, but it's also pretty darn fast - let alone the fact that Lumatrix turns Titania into a complete joke. Doesn't get touched a single time the entire fight - this Eidol is crazy good.

    Basically you have to punish opponent special, to remove invisibility cooldown, then charge heavy to get evade charge, evade to get invisibility, which pauses if you hit the opponent and is removed when opponent throws a special. Thanks for this video, you clearly summarized him, I never understood him.

    As i'm not going to spend on weekly offer or grind arena or BGs for the 7* should I buy the 6* from shop and ascend or should I keep saving my light essence for future in case there are other ways to aquire it?

    This is awesome!! Super well played, and it’s so cool to see them completely shut down a Necropolis fight. I’m planning to take up my Luma to rank 4 after 9.2 so it’s great seeing other people loving the champ. Such a fun skill champ, obviously so powerful, and it feels great seeing “no damage taken” after coming out of nearly every fight

    How are people already getting him? I'm waiting for the GC rewards, and even at that point I'm not sure I'll have 12 total or however many it takes to get him, much less dupe him....

    People here disagree just for the sake for it.
    I've enjoyed that video, he's sick.
    Is this urs?

    Yeah keyboard trolls here tend to do that. I thought it was pretty sick too.

    What makes him so powerful compared to other champs? Is it just the playstyle, similar to Ghost, where you can phase in and out instead of relying on parries and intercepts?

    @Dizzy explains it really well above, and Allison Edits has some great videos as well showcasing some Lumatrix craziness. Another underrated piece of their kit is the endurance, something that seems like it will be important as they introduce more and more severe buffs, and something that I think will catch people on defence since it’ll reduce stun durations on parries

    And you can't really punish his heavies because of the evade charge, so max limber + endurance + unpunishable heavies might make him somewhat annoying as a defender?
    The part of his kit I really don't seem to understand is the sig ability...It's like designed to counter Leader and QS, as if those are meta defenders we're all scrambling to find counters for??
  • DizzyDizzy Member Posts: 242 ★★
    Yeah the sig makes no sense to me - also doesn’t seem to scale particularly valuably… this hurts me mostly because I want my R4s to be max sig but I can’t justify putting any stones in right now. Maybe the meta will change / new champs will change my tone there…

    It also works for power sting and instant bleeds/ruptures/burst damage. So, a little more versatile than that. I would imagine he would cheese Epoch Cassie with the tracking and ability to ignore the power stings.

    In DLL's context video on Lumatrix he explained that it does not apply to power stings because they're not classified as instant burst damage (DLL thinks they should be but that's the classification currently).

    That and once you build up his assassin thingies he crits consistently

    I think it's the first rule of a non damaging debuff expiring naturally for power stings. Check out the deep dive at about 4:40 against Spider Ham.

    He looks like a short-form Aegon
  • benshbbenshb Member Posts: 933 ★★★★★
    He is an insane damage dealer, but other than that he doesn't bring anything else. Sure the 2 immunities are okay, but other than that... Nothing. I'm not sure that's enough for 2025.
    I still really like him, be is so fun to play, kinda like ghost (although she had way more utility being like 5-6 years old)

    Good work, Jerm!

    He has a miss counter as well, can outplay non-contact attacks (e.g. Zola, Dust) with his evade, counters stun immune and unblockable fights with his evade, his endurance is useful, especially with severe buffs getting used more often for new champs and he’s just really, and I mean REALLY safe to play. Def the skill champ the class needed and more importantly, he’s just really fun.

    Yeah, I’d actually argue Lumatrix is made much more for 2025 than past years - for example with the ability to counter miss, trigger free intercepts (by countering a dash into your miss), manage unblockable by effectively being untouchable the whole fight. Less focused on things like evade (but synergy helps here) or unstoppable (but can counter by just hitting into unstoppable opponent while invisibility and stalling it out). Stun immune while invisible is nice icing on the cake to blitz a Medusa or Spiral or other threatening node. These are 2025 challenges and Lumatrix is well designed for those. I’ve been just ignoring reading the nodes and bringing them to 9.2 and not running into any issues… that’s when you know someone is solid.

    The added fact they can counter a lot of meta defenders (most notably Enchantress in 45 seconds)… much more than just damage.

    Realised I was never gonna get the 12 essence so went for the 6 star and I'm having an absolute blast with him, he feels so fluid to play

    @Dizzy What do you think is the best stat focus for Luma, critical damage or special damage?
