Do Lunara and Helion have identical base stats?

Choosing between Helion and Lunara comes down to fighting at range or in melee.

Because their stat distributions match across all categories, this starter choice does not lock you out of raw damage or force an uneven stat penalty. Both creatures also share the Light element, also referred to as Holy, which means neither option suffers from an elemental weakness the other avoids. Your decision solely affects your combat distance, movement tools, and skill rotations.

Helion's Melee and Break Kit

Helion functions as a close-range melee Holy DPS and breaker. The kit focuses on physical burst damage, using Holy Storm to pull surrounding enemies toward the center while striking with a 150% break multiplier. Helion can stun enemies with an empowered attack, execute a roaring attack with Holy Roar, and temporarily evolve into Soleon through the Ultimate ability Helion's Judgment.

Solar Grace powers this close combat by granting a Solar Halo on every fourth basic attack, which buffs the next active skill and increases combat damage. This playstyle demands precise positioning and timing in melee range. During exploration, Helion provides the Hustle ability to boost sprint and movement speed at the cost of stamina.

Lunara's Ranged Magic Kit

Lunara is a Light DPS fox built for ranged combat. It deals sustained magical damage and wide area-of-effect spells from a safe distance, reducing the need for tight positioning against enemy groups.

Using skills builds stacks of Silver Moon Mark through the Lunar Power trait, while passive skills boost damage further. The ability rotation includes Lumin Bolts to fire light projectiles, Lunar Eclipse to hit single targets with moonlight, and Moon-Washed to restore EP.
