Lunarium Ave & Lune Skill Trees
Separate progression paths — sword techniques for Ave, star magic for Lune — upgraded through combat and story.
Lunarium features distinct skill trees for Ave and Lune. Official materials say players upgrade both through enemy defeats and story progression, unlocking powerful sword techniques and support magic. Ave’s tree amplifies parry payoff; Lune’s tree strengthens resonance spends and exploration utilities. This guide outlines how points are earned, recommended early picks, and synergies with Embroidery Guide charms and Resonance System combat.
How skill points work
Skill points arrive from:
- Combat XP — Standard enemies, elites, and bosses
- Story milestones — Chapter transitions, temple unlocks, archipelago revelations
- Optional exploration — Hidden alcoves and dreamworld secrets on the World Map
Spend points at benches (and possibly the Temple once unlocked). Death does not wipe allocated skills — only unspent points bank until you rest if the game follows standard ARPG rules from previews.
Demo builds sometimes pre-unlocked trees because they started in chapter two; retail teaches allocation gradually in the Forgotten Forest (Getting Started).
Ave’s skill tree — swordmaster path
Ave’s branch emphasizes frontline control:
Core themes
- Parry enhancement — Wider windows, counter damage, chain ripostes
- Combo extensions — Extra light attack hits before stamina break
- Heavy attack utility — Armor break or stagger boost on charged strikes
- Mobility — Sprint speed, dodge follow-up attacks
- Survival — Prayer efficiency or damage reduction after successful deflect
Early game priorities (Forest)
- First parry enhancement node — compounds Combat, Parry & Dodge training.
- One combo extension — Faster trash clearance without resonance spend.
- Optional mobility — Quality of life for temple backtracking.
Mid game priorities (Castle)
- Stagger or armor break — Required for golem armored phases in Boss Guide.
- Heavy attack upgrade — Punish boss kneel animations harder.
- Survival node if Prayers feel tight — pair with Items & Materials farming.
Late game (Archipelago)
Capstone nodes likely alter execution damage or parry-reset cooldowns — invest before final chapter for Endings Guide routes.
Lune’s skill tree — Starfarer support
Lune never becomes directly playable, but her tree defines support potency:
Core themes
- Weaken potency — Longer debuff, stronger defense reduction
- Resonance economy — Cheaper spends, faster meter from her chip damage
- Environmental magic — Bridge gaps, lift obstacles, reveal hidden paths
- Coordinated attack power — Burst damage when you trigger dual skills
- Passive aura — Constant minor debuff or heal near Ave
Early game priorities
- Weaken upgrade — Makes first boss resonance loops smoother.
- Environmental node if gated path blocks main route — Avoid sequence breaks that skip materials.
Mid game priorities
- Coordinated attack damage — Castle DPS checks.
- Resonance generation — Keeps meter flowing during long parry exchanges.
Late game priorities
- Capstone weaken or execution synergy — Archipelago enemies with resistance layers.
- Exploration magic — Optional secrets tied to second ending hints.
Balancing both trees
Neglecting Lune creates invisible difficulty walls where weaken cannot strip boss buffs. Neglecting Ave lengthens every encounter until Prayers empty.
Rule of thumb: Alternate point spends every bench until both trees hit key mid-tier nodes, then specialize for upcoming boss listed in Boss Guide.
Synergy table
| Ave investment | Pairs with Lune | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Parry damage | Weaken duration | Shortest elite kill times |
| Combo speed | Resonance generation | Fast meter for execution |
| Heavy stagger | Coordinated attack | Boss phase skips |
| Prayer efficiency | Passive aura heal | Safer first playthrough |
Add Cloak System presets and Temple Upgrades weapon levels on top — skill points are not the only power source.
Respec policy
Respec availability is unconfirmed pre-launch. Assume commitments matter; test builds on Forgotten Forest elites before hard allocating for castle vertical content.
Demo note
Preview players entered with skills already unlocked — misleading if you expect identical pacing at retail launch. Use Demo Walkthrough only for ability behavior samples, not level gating expectations.
Dual skill trees express Lunarium’s design thesis: Ave’s blade and Lune’s starlight grow together, mirroring memory and identity themes until the two endings split their converging paths.

Should I focus Ave or Lune first?
Split early points evenly until weaken and parry upgrades are online, then bias toward the upcoming boss type.

Yes. Her tree includes magic for environmental obstacles and hidden path reveals.
Do skill trees affect resonance execution?
Directly — coordinated attack and weaken nodes define burst damage during stagger windows.
