I was so happy when they announced the new lumino wedges, but it only lasted like 1 day. Because guess what, even though the wedges are great, the requirements aren't. New lumino wedges have core morale, which gives +66% morale. New lumino wings*inspo*morale also gives +66%. 132% morale, and it's 165% morale in total if the prime*morale wedge is maxed. Everything looks great so far, isn't it? But it isn't. 

What do you mean it's only activated when the skill range is above 160%???? Anemo and electro wedges' requirements were max sanity and skill efficiency... You can easily hit those requierements with the wings*inspo wedges only. Those wedges are inclusive and on paper, you can put those electro&anemo wings*inspo wedges on every anemo/electro character. why did this change when it came to lumino? And mind you, none of the lumino covenanter's gives skill range. The only lumino gold wedge that gives skill range is Skylume Wildfire, and it only gives 33% range at max. So, even if you have a full-build Lisbell for example, you can't even meet the criterion with wedges alone. You have to give your lumino character a skill range weapon to activate the morale buff. So, I have to remove Kezhou's sig and give him s5 Embla if I want this wedge to be activated. Nifle is lucky for this one because she already has skill range buff on her skills and embla is the best choice for her, she can easily hit above 160%.

What the fuck is this seriously? They really did play with my feelings. I was so excited to build this wedge on Kezhou but I can't even do that if I want to use his sig, or I don't have s5 embla. Besides, skill range is useless for him. The downside of it, Kezhou shouldn't equip Embla, in other words, wings*inspo*morale on summit. Why are you putting skill range as the criterion when some of your characters don't even benefit from it? Why are you doing this when you don't even give enough requiered stats to the element?

Lumino wedges already lack so much skill intensity, skill range and morale. The new volition core is almost useless even though it gives skill intensity, because the core's symbol isn't suitable for skill intensity chars. The only way to activate it is to have one skylume&at least 2 blaze*eternity wedges. Yes, blaze*eternity. The wedge that gives skill duration. The wedge which is useless on Nifle. I genuinely wonder what was going on inside the devs' mind when they decided this. Were they drunk?

Currently, lumino is the element that has the most variety. Anemo has resolve-based chars, electro skill intensity&morale. I'm not saying that every anemo/electro char is same. They're different, but they share a common stat. But for lumino characters, we have skill intensity, consonance weapon and weapon-based characters. Kezhou doesn't scale with skill intensity, but Nifle does. Nifle doesn't scale with duration, but Kezhou does. Naturally, some of your lumino chars will be excluded if you make the requierements tied to skill range/duration/intensity like a fool.

Just imagine, I've been waiting for new lumino wedges since Kezhou's release and the one could have worked on Kezhou can't even work because of a stupid criterion. I really can't express how disappointed I'm with words alone. I had a stressfull, busy and sleepless week, so I was relaxed when I saw the upcoming lumino wedges, only to get extremely disappointed afterwards.

I hope the elements that will get wings*inspo&core wedges on the future won't share the same fate as lumino and their wedges will only requiere max sanity and skill efficieny.

But yeah, wings*inspo*focus is nice for any DPS that works with Fina&Vita. It only writes 'self', but I believe they made a typo there. Every wings*inspo has one for DPS and one for support. So it's another great buff for (consonance) weapon users. Even non-lumino DPS chars can benefit from it. Wow. So great, definitely. Making this wedge almost perfect for lumino supports but when it comes to giving a good wedge to DPS lumino chars, they (intentionally..?) make it bad, as if the old ones weren't bad enough.

You may think of making a team of Kezhou-Fina-an electro character with wings*inspo*morale. At first, this idea looks nice. After all, electro w.i. gives 66% morale to the allies. But Kezhou works with none of the current electro characters. Rhythm, Zhiliu and Sibylle give atk buff to electro chars when they're cp. Randy only gives extra shield and DEF, which my i6 kezhou doesn't need. And Yuming heavily buffs only electro characters. The only buff Yuming can give Kezhou is the weapon attack range by his i1. But it's not even necessary. Still, Kezhou-Fina-Yuming with this build can kind of work, but I'm not really sure about this on summit. This can work on other contents, though, depending on the situation.

After all this yapping, I'll still max every new lumino wedge except for core volition, despite everything. Yes, I'm very salty. But I love and play each lumino character. I'll just fuck out of here after Camilla's release and the lumino summit, then will take a short break from the game, unless a miracle happens and avar becomes playable on the next patch. I play games to relieve my stress, not to increase them. However half of my hair has already turned gray while looking at the new lumino wedges. Thanks for this Pan, you're fantastic❤️
