About the Game

Outsmart. Outplay. Outlast.

Battle For Lumani is a turn-based fighter made to satisfy the competitive gamer who loves climbing the ranked PVP ladder, to the tactical genius who enjoys strategic pacing and mind games, to the story lover who'll fall in love with the cast of immersive characters living in a world full of lore.

Build Your Squad Choose three fighters from a roster of characters, each with their own abilities, stats, elemental affinities, and combat role.

The Mind Game Each turn unfolds in two double-blind decision phases: first, both players choose whether to change the battlefield range (Close or Far), then both lock in an action — attack with an ability, attempt to switch to a benched teammate, intercept your opponent's switch attempt, or rest to recover energy.

Deep Combat Systems

  • Three damage types — Physical, Light, and Dark — each resisted differently per character

  • Elemental affinities (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) create exploitable weaknesses

  • Status effects, buffs, debuffs, damage-over-time, and stuns layer onto every decision

  • Speed determines action priority; ties resolve simultaneously

  • Multi-hit vs single-hit abilities interact with defenses in distinct ways

Competitive and Casual Play

  • Ranked Matches — Climb the seasonal ladder and prove your mastery

  • Casual Matches — Unranked online play for low-stakes practice

  • AI Battles — Practice again AI opponents using the same rules as live matches

  • Custom Matches — Invite friends for direct lobbies

  • Tutorial — Learn the mechanics and controls before jumping in

A World Worth Fighting For The land of Lumani was shaped by the goddess Lumina, sustained by the Heart of Lumani — a pure crystal of light atop a great mountain. Two factions now clash over the fate of this world: the Luminists, who defend the natural order of the world, and the Shadows, who seek dominion through corruptive power. Dozens of heroes stand on both sides of that divide, each with their own story and reason to fight.

Fair Competition Battle For Lumani is built on a no-pay-to-win foundation. All gameplay-affecting content is earnable through play. Cosmetics and convenience items may be available for purchase, but power is never for sale.
