    Strength: 1500Duration: Indefinite    .     should be used as needed. Because of its lengthy 7-turn cooldown, it would be best to know the raid's mechanics if you aren't confident in your party's survivability. Knowing when to use a damage cut effectively goes a long way.

Luminiera Omega

(Raid)#Extreme Luminiera Omega is a bit of a gimmicky raid that may trip up newer players, especially when dealing with Aegis Merge. Luckily, μ's Third-Years have been geared for this raid, making it easier to deal with her even without a strong party.

 Khorosho!Remove 1 buff from a foe. If successful, all allies gain 30% C.A. DMG Up (1 time)Charge attack DMG is boosted (1 time)
Strength: 30%Duration: Indefinite.
At level 90:
Buff increased to 50% C.A. DMG Up (1 time)Charge attack DMG is boosted (1 time)
Strength: 50%Duration: Indefinite.
If buff removal is successful, all allies also gain 20% C.A. DMG Cap Up (1 time)Charge attack DMG cap is boosted (1 time)
Strength: 20%Duration: Indefinite. is your savior from Aegis Merge. Luminiera always uses Aegis Merge on turn 1, so do not use any debuffs on her at the start of battle. Use Khorosho! at the start of turn 2 to remove Debuff Res. UpDebuff resistance is boosted
, then apply debuffs but hold on to any damage skills. Dispelling Debuff Res. UpDebuff resistance is boosted
 will trigger Aegis Unmerge on enemy phase, and Luminiera will remove the Damage Cut buffs from itself. At the start of turn 3, you are now free to use your damage skills.

Ideally, you can burst it down to 50% before it fills its charge diamonds and re-applies Aegis Merge. For most beginners, this won't be feasible; just wait for Khorosho! to come off cooldown again and repeat the process. If you need to call backup, it may be useful to have Khorosho! ready to use; every player that joins and uses a normal attack will reactivate Aegis Merge, and Khorosho! might be needed if other players didn't bring a Dispel of their own.

Synergy

μ's defensive/supportive kit makes them beneficial for any early- or mid-game player farming Luminiera Omega. For later-game players with more options available to them, they remain a solid choice for an Atma/Ultima Staff team.

Priorities

Debuff Success takes top priority to ensure their DEF Down lands, followed by Critical. Afterwards, 2-3★ DA will help mitigate their lack of MA support once their buff runs out. Your picks afterwards are free—attack-wise, the Support Skill gives them a bigger boost than the ATK nodes, even without the μ's First or Second Years in the party. DEF and/or HP are also solid picks to give them more survivability.
