How to Play

By Act 3, Lun transitions into a true battlefield conductor. At this stage, you’ll drop Thermal Transfer entirely since AP is no longer a concern once you have Cheater and the right gear. In its place, Ice Lance becomes your staple utility spell, offering both meaningful damage and slows that let you manipulate turn order. At the same time, Crystal Crush should give way to Terraquake, which delivers more reliable Break pressure and supplies the Earth stains your rotation depends on.

Her core identity doesn’t change: you are still building toward Lightning Dance for bosses or Elemental Genesis for groups. What does change is how you reach those finishers. With Krumm equipped, Lun begins every fight by generating two random stains if her bar is empty. This dramatically accelerates your setup and often means you can fire off a major spell within the first two actions. Sometimes the random stains double up and delay Genesis, but the weapon more than makes up for it with tempo, AP generation, and raw damage scaling.

The typical single-target line looks like this: open with Wildfire to seed fire stains, follow with Ice Lance to secure slows and add an ice stain, then cash out with Lightning Dance. Against bosses, this can easily hit the damage cap multiple times in a row, deleting health bars faster than anything else in Lun’s arsenal. If Cheater triggers in the middle of the sequence, you can often slip in a second Dance or an extra control spell before the enemy ever moves.

For elite packs, shift the priority. Begin with Terraquake to set up Earth, then chain Wildfire and Ice Lance so you have all four stains ready. That unlocks Elemental Genesis, Lun’s best late-game AOE, capable of wiping groups outright. The flexibility of Krumm’s random stains means you rarely get locked out of this option, and even when you do, pivoting into Lightning Dance is almost always enough.

Boss encounters highlight Lun’s synergy with companions. Pairing her with Verso ensures that Break windows are perfectly aligned: Terraquake and her breaker basic attack push enemies toward collapse, and the moment they stagger, you unleash Lightning Dance for devastating multi-hit bursts. With Seel, the dynamic is different—Seel’s Searing Bond and AP tools supercharge Lun’s rotations, letting her fit more casts into the same window. Even Mel can be set up beautifully by Lun’s constant Burning from Wildfire, turning him into a cleanup engine while she handles the opening salvo.

The late game comes down to discipline. With Cheater, Painted Power, and Krumm online, Lun has more AP and tempo than she can realistically spend. The key is resisting the urge to spam the same element twice. Her weapon rewards rotation, and stains must be cycled to unlock the heavy hitters. Think two moves ahead: Wildfire to lay the foundation, Ice Lance to position the turn order, Terraquake if Break is needed, then explode with Lightning Dance or Genesis depending on the situation. Played this way, Lun stays competitive with Verso and Mel right through the final act and remains one of the most rewarding characters in the game.
