Lumi Master FAQ

Yes. Lumi Master is a free download on iOS and Android with optional in-app purchases (Google Play lists $0.29 to $99.99 per item, and the App Store sells a $4.99 monthly membership and a $10.99 Season 1 pass). Bilibili's store page promises "a true non-P2W path", but players on r/LumiMaster report that season-limited Lumi such as Pterolux need spending.

The official name is Lumi Master, singular — that is the title on the App Store, Google Play and Bilibili's own site. "Lumi Masters" and "LumiMaster" are common misspellings. In Chinese the game is called 闪耀吧！噜咪.

Bilibili Games, the game arm of the Chinese video platform Bilibili, develops and publishes it; the store listings name BILIBILI HK LIMITED. Producer Han told Automaton the project started in November 2024. The Chinese version, 闪耀吧！噜咪, was already running before the September 17, 2026 global launch, which is why a Chinese community wiki had Lumi data months earlier.

It is a monster-collecting RPG, so the comparison is natural: you catch creatures (Lumi), evolve them and battle with type matchups across 17 types. The loop is very different, though — exploration is tap-to-advance along a fixed route in portrait mode, catching uses cards and can run on autopilot, and a home-management side game (your Haven) runs alongside.

Bilibili has not published a statement about AI use, and its own April 2026 announcement describes a hand-drawn, storybook-inspired art style. Some players on r/LumiMaster questioned the art in early ads when the game launched, and search suggestions compare it to other cozy games such as Cats & Soup. None of those claims has been confirmed or answered officially as of September 23, 2026.

Yes: you can battle other players in the arena, trade and auction Lumi worldwide, join guilds (unlocked at Explorer Lv. 45) to fight World Bosses, and play Co-op Raids in the weekly minigame rotation. Exploring and catching are solo. The platforms page has the details.

No official PC, Steam or Nintendo Switch version exists — Lumi Master is on iOS and Android only. The Nintendo Switch 2 was a pre-registration lucky-draw prize, which is where the Switch searches come from.

Everyone starts as the same preset character with a random name, and there is no gender choice at the start — a common complaint in App Store reviews. Players report that the Outfit and customization options unlock after you clear the second area.

It is the social hub the developer described in the Automaton interview: a shared space where players can hold hands, follow each other and join group dances. It is not needed for progression.

Bilibili has said each season brings a new theme, a new map and 60 to 80 new Lumi, and the producer mentioned major updates about every two months. Season 1, "Knights and Dragons", started on September 17, 2026.

Yes. The official Discord invite is discord.gg/JF86YUP8tu (about 17,400 members in September 2026), and r/LumiMaster is the subreddit where official LumiDex posts and event calendars are also shared. All official links are on the links page.

The tier list page combines the published rankings with the community Discord list and free-to-play creator picks, and the Lumidex has every Lumi's stats, skills and weaknesses.
