Luminous Skill Build

Hello,

Asking this especially for anyone who knows/plays KMS version of lumi.....

What's the difference between light and dark path besides the initial story-line/quest and 1st job skill? Which one is better in terms of bossing/in the long run? If one path is better than the other in this aspect, is the difference quite noticeable?

The difference is you leave the girl to die or you save her, if I recall correctly. The 1st job Dark skill is better for leveling by a significant margin. It means you don't have to use the 2nd job Dark to enter Equilibrium. Dark is technically better for bossing if you don't hit cap since it provides more overall damage, but the difference would not be noticeable in a long fight. It would be noticeable in fights where you only use Dark vs only Light. That being said, having Dark means your Light for training is weaker, leading to lower damage per Light Reflection and more difficulty reliably XHKOing with it if you're not really strong. Apocalypse never has this problem, IMO. If you somehow hit the 50m cap, Light is better since it's harder to hit the cap with Light Reflection than Apocalypse.
