Strengths
As a fighter, Lumi is favoured into assassin, artillery, thrower.
- With your strike zone that forces him out of cover you focus Barley: Barley can't shoot directly, so standing on him is free damage.
- With your strike zone that forces him out of cover you focus Dynamike: Dynamike can't shoot in a straight line and misses everything moving.
- With your strike zone that forces him out of cover you focus Tick: Tick has the lowest HP in the game.
- With your strike zone that forces him out of cover you focus Penny: Penny is slow and has no escape.
Weaknesses
Lumi struggles against marksman, sharpshooter and on maps that do not support the fighter role.

When not to pick
Skip Lumi when the map layout works against the fighter role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
