Review
The Lumiwarden Diting, or Lumi Diting as we’ll call him throughout this review, is a Reason Affinity Animus who mixes DEF-based damage, Control, and teamwide protection all in one specialized kit.
Skill 1
Lumi Diting’s S1 has both an active and a passive effect, the active being a very interesting ST attack that hits for up to 360% of his DEF, and with up to a 25% chance to extend the targeted Animus’ Skills CDs by 1 turn.
The second part of the Skill, Gleamwalker, passively weakens any effect that reduces your own team’s Turn meter by up to 80%, making them barely noticeable.
Designed to counter Turn meter reduction-based control while regularly hindering the enemy’s skill rotation, Lumi diting’s S1 has a high priority for it to truly shine within its niche.
Skill 2
S2 is an ST Control ability with good damage, hitting 3 times for up to 160% DEF-based damage each time, and with every hit having a base 30% chance to both decrease the target’s Turn Meter by up to 35% and inflict them with [Taunt] for up to 2 turns.
Being powerful in all of its applications, this Skill has a high priority at least til you reach level 3, but level 5 is also interesting if you heavily rely on the Taunt. Otherwise, if you know the Taunt won’t be too useful for your game plan, level l3-4 are good stopping points.
Skill 3
Lumi Diting’s S3, Retribution, is a 2-hit AoE that deals up to 170% of Diting’s DEF as damage to all enemies, with each hit capable of inflicting [SPD-] and [Torpor] for 2 turns, while also applying the [Sanctilin] Buff to all allies for three turns.
Torpor is a Debuff that prevents the inflicted Animus from gaining any extra Turn Meter from Turn Meter+ effects, while Sanctilin is a peculiar form of Damage reduction: every instance of Damage taken by an Animus with Sanctilin on them is mitigated, based on Lumi Diting’s current DEF. The damage can be reduced by up to 80% in this manner.
With its ability to shut down multi-hit attacks with low multipliers, and the crippling Debuffs it can inflict, leveling S3 is by far the highest priority for Lumi Diting, with level 5 being the goal to improve the uptime of the Skill’s effects.
PVE
In PVE, it’s hard to see Lumi Diting perform all too well. His ability to play around Turn Meter and SPD- is good, and Sanctilin will see good value in general, especially for newer players struggling to survive the high damage output during the initial progression. On the other hand, the Turn Meter prevention and Skill CD extension won’t get that much relevance outside of specific fights.
He’ll remain useful in a fair bit of encounters thanks to his mix of heavy Debuffing capabilities and protection, but other options like Viper, Plume, Kloss, etc, are readily available and offer more ‘bang for your buck’ when it comes to PVE Debuffing, making him more situational overall.
PVP
It’s another story in PVP, however, where Lumi Diting’s kit shines from its wide range of utility. When properly drafted, Sanctilin alone can already make him a solid team protector and sometimes outright win you games, but when paired with his multiple Debuffs, Turn Meter protection, and the occasional but very annoying CD extension, Lumi Diting is a worthwhile addition to any box.
His greatest downside is the removable nature of Sanctilin; however, as the Buff doesn’t benefit from any protection to Block, Steal, or any kind of Dispel. Without Sanctilin, Lumi Diting’s abilities to protect his team are dramatically diminished. It’s also good to know that Sanctilin’s damage reduction is impacted in real time by any DEF+/- applied to Lumi Diting, even after the Buff has been applied to the team.
Conclusion
All in all, Lumi Diting is a specialized Animus who excels in the right strategies, but can otherwise struggle when compared to the already established staples of Debuffing/Supporting, especially in PVE. By design, his kit makes him highly dependent on the meta, but if one sentence could sum him up, it would be: “He’s not always good, but when he is, he’s really damn good.”
Pros & Cons
Pros

Best Build
The builds below are tailored more toward PVE and we only mention PVP in some places - like for alternative Shells or Module choices. But PVE is our focus.
Best Shells
For some DPS characters, we're showing two set of numbers. The top one on shows the performance in single-target scenario and the bottom on blue background in AoE scenario (4 targets). If there's just one number, it means the character only has single-target capability.
1
Before the main body acts, it increases its [DEF] by 700 for 2 turns, and applies a [Shield] equal to 400% of its own [DEF] to the main body Animus, and the Animus ally with the lowest current HP percentage for 2 turns.
Cannot stack with similar effects applied by other Shells.
Grants the wearer 700 DEF for 2 turns, as well as applying a sizable shield to an ally for 2 turns. It has a 1-turn initial cooldown, but after that, it will maintain the 700 DEF buff 66% of the time and keep the shield active often. Primarily used on dedicated DEF scalers.
Artisan is both offensive and defensive BIS shell for TL Diting in PVE, due to the huge flat DEF buff that it gives and the huge shield, that can help with the dmg mitigation of the team.

After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
A speed-based alternative for DPS characters to use instead of the mostly pure damage setups offered by Striker shells. Deals a large hit of damage, grants a 25% gauge boost, and offers the wearer the [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime on use. The downside of using this shell on DPS is that the matrixes are mostly support-focused, leading to suboptimal 12/8/6 set-ups or causing you to break sets and run 12P Swiftrush and an 8P set of your choice. Despite this downside, it can still be some characters’ top option. As with all speed-based sets on DPS, in teams that have gauge boosts for the DPS, it will lose value. Also, loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
You can opt to use Jackal Guard instead if you need to cycle his skills faster, but it will come at the cost of supportive abilities Artisan provides.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Swiftrush [12/12]

After the original takes action, has a 100% chance to reduce the CD of 1 random skills on cooldown by 1 turn(s).
Allows you to reduce cooldown of a random ability, improving the cycling abilities of the character.
An option for longer fights if you need to get access to his skills faster.

PVP Setup
Below you can find some alternative setups you can use, but only in PVP.
1
After the main body's turn, a Follow-up Attack on the main target dealing 240%+4200 damage, applies [SPD+] for 3 turns to the main Animus, applies and increases their Turn Meter by 25%.
A speed-based alternative for DPS characters to use instead of the mostly pure damage setups offered by Striker shells. Deals a large hit of damage, grants a 25% gauge boost, and offers the wearer the [SPD+] boost with 100% uptime on use. The downside of using this shell on DPS is that the matrixes are mostly support-focused, leading to suboptimal 12/8/6 set-ups or causing you to break sets and run 12P Swiftrush and an 8P set of your choice. Despite this downside, it can still be some characters’ top option. As with all speed-based sets on DPS, in teams that have gauge boosts for the DPS, it will lose value. Also, loses most of its value when used in teams that already have a team member granting the [SPD+] buff with good uptime.
Diting looks for good tools to cycle his buffs and provide more damage, and as there is not any other option that does it nearly aswell as Jackal Guard also the matrixes you are looking for, making it the first choice.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Bloodbath [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bulwark [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]
![Matrix]()
2
Before the owner takes action, deals 2 hit(s) of 100% +2500 damage to the target with the highest ATK and extends the duration of non-control debuffs inflicted by the owner this turn by 1 turn(s) (excluding [DoT]), then increases the owner Animus's Effect ACC by 50% in the current turn.
A strong supportive option for debuff-focused characters. On use, the Shell grants 50% Effect ACC and causes any non-control and non-DoT debuffs applied during the turn it's activated to be extended by one turn. This shell also deals a non-negligible amount of damage with its 2 hits on use. A top choice for any character looking to improve uptime and accuracy for their debuffs.
An alternative option if you want to focus more on the debuffs TL Diting provides, but keep in mind that it is vastly worse pick than Jackal Guard in most cases.
Best Module Sets:
- 12 set: >Bloodbath [12/12]
![Matrix]()
- 8 set: >Bulwark [8/8]
![Matrix]()
- 6 set: >Swiftsmite [6/6]

Before the main body acts, it increases its [DEF] by 700 for 2 turns, and applies a [Shield] equal to 400% of its own [DEF] to the main body Animus, and the Animus ally with the lowest current HP percentage for 2 turns.
Cannot stack with similar effects applied by other Shells.
Grants the wearer 700 DEF for 2 turns, as well as applying a sizable shield to an ally for 2 turns. It has a 1-turn initial cooldown, but after that, it will maintain the 700 DEF buff 66% of the time and keep the shield active often. Primarily used on dedicated DEF scalers.
More defensive option that helps both TL Diting and his team survive longer, but at the cost of slower cycling and speed.

Best Stats
Substats:
SPD (Until Desired) > DEF% > Effect ACC > Flat DEF
Stat comments (PVE)
The Lumiwarden Diting has three main stats and one conditional stats to pay attention to across gear for PVE:
- Main Stats:
- DEF: As a DEF-scaling Bruiser, he needs a lot of DEF to work. So that stat is his first priority.
- SPD: It's important to have enough Speed on your Diting, so he's able to play before his enemies and use his S3 to help with the Damage mitigation - while applying his debuffs at the same time.
- Effect ACC: Effect ACC is needed for Diting to land his debuffs.
- Conditional Stats:
- Crit Rate / Crit DMG: Once you're happy with the three stats above, you can invest into more offensive stats to help with improvin Diting's damage output.
Stat comments (PVP)
- Main Stats:
- SPD: In PVP, Speed is Ditin's most important stat as you want him to go first before the other team.
- DEF: As a DEF-scaling Bruiser, he needs a lot of DEF to work.
- Effect ACC: Effect ACC is needed for Diting to land his debuffs - still, since his skills are multi-hit, you can go-by without as much investment as with single-hit debuffers.
- Conditional Stats:
- HP: Once you're happy with the three stats above, get some additional HP to help Diting survive easier.
Shell Passives
Slot 1
DEF% > DEF
Slot 2
SPD > Effect ACC
Slot 3
DMG Reduction > Gaze
Passive comments
- Slot 1: DEF% is optimal, but if you're lacking in materials Flat DEF can also be used.
- Slot 2: Speed is most important here, but if you have enough from your gear, you can opt for Effect ACC, but it's worse choice in most cases.
- Slot 3: DMG Reduction is the preffered choice in this slot.
Skill Priority
Skill Priority
PVE: S3 > S2 >= S1 | PVP: S1 > S3 > S2
Comments
The skill leveling priority changes based on where you're using Diting - in PVP, S1 is the most important stat while in PVE it has lowest priority for example. For PVE uses, you can just level his S3 and leave the rest as it's enough to make him work.
