Frequently asked questions

Luminary is an AI-powered companion for Genshin Impact. It reads your actual roster — characters, weapons, artifacts, and constellations — and gives personalized recommendations for team comps, builds, artifact farming, and pull planning.

Connect your HoYoLab account in read-only mode — no password needed. Our AI analyzes your roster and the current game meta to provide tailored advice. Ask any question in natural language, like "What's the best team for Spiral Abyss Floor 12 with my characters?"

Yes. Luminary is free to start — roster sync and account tools are available on the free plan. Premium AI Chat is available on a paid plan for deeper, account-specific advice.

Luminary is available on iOS and Android. A web version is planned for the future.

Absolutely. We use HoYoLab's public API with read-only access. We never ask for or store your password. We can only see data you've already made public on HoYoLab — characters, weapons, and stats.

Your Genshin Impact account data through HoYoLab: your character roster (levels, constellations, weapons, artifacts), Adventure Rank, Spiral Abyss progress, and real-time stats like resin, expeditions, and daily commissions — the data that powers resource planning. We can't access your account credentials, purchase history, or private messages.

Yes. You can delete your account at any time from the app, and we immediately and permanently wipe all your synced game data. Prefer we handle it? Just contact us.

Never. We don't sell, share, or trade your personal data with third parties. Your data is only used to provide you with personalized recommendations.

Luminary uses advanced AI models trained on current game data, community theorycrafting, and your actual roster stats. While no AI is perfect, our recommendations are grounded in real data and are continuously improving.

Yes. Luminary works with all Genshin Impact servers: Asia, North America, Europe, and TW/HK/MO.

Tier lists rank characters in a vacuum. Luminary looks at YOUR specific characters — their levels, weapons, artifact stats, and constellations — and recommends teams and builds that work with what you actually have built.

Yes! Luminary analyzes the current Abyss rotation (enemies, ley line disorders) and your roster to recommend teams you can actually run. It considers character investment levels and suggests the best combinations for each half.

Luminary is free to start — 10 Ink a month, about one in-depth question. Two premium tiers add more Ink for ongoing, account-specific advice. Dolphin runs $4.99/month (120 Ink), $49.99/year (1,450 Ink), or a low-commitment $2.99/week (50 Ink) — ideal for regular players, or for digging into a single patch, Abyss reset, or banner. Whaler runs $18.99/month (500 Ink) or $199.99/year (7,200 Ink) for players who rely on the Advisor all day, and unlocks access to stronger AI models. Every paid plan adds priority responses, an ad-free experience, and auto daily HoYoLab check-in. Manage or cancel anytime through the App Store or Google Play.

Ink is the currency that powers AI questions. A quick question costs a few Ink; an in-depth, roster-grounded answer typically uses about 8–15 Ink. Free users get 10 Ink per month — about one in-depth question. Paid plans give you significantly more Ink each cycle for ongoing, account-specific advice.

Yes, anytime. Manage your subscription through the App Store or Google Play. You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

No. The free plan still includes roster sync and account tracking features. Premium is for personalized AI Chat, and paid plans add more Ink for players who want ongoing account-specific advice.

Weigh the character against the roles your account already covers, then check where your pity sits and whether a guarantee is active. If they fill a real gap and the cost is reasonable, pull; otherwise save. Luminary makes this call from your actual roster and pity.

Field two teams that each clear their half fast without dying, matched to the current rotation's enemies. Most accounts gain the most stars by placing well-invested characters in the right half rather than chasing new units. Luminary plans both halves from your roster and the live rotation.

Lock in correct main stats first, then chase the substats that actually scale the character you're building, and fix the single weakest piece before re-farming a whole set. Luminary grades your builds and ranks fixes by how much damage they buy.

Especially. When wishes and resin are scarce, spending them well matters most — and that's exactly what Luminary optimizes, from pull decisions to resin planning to getting more out of four-star characters. The free plan covers roster sync and account tracking.
