English:Lumi · Characters

A Scorchlander woman in Crab Town who loves crabs more than anything, available for 6,000 Cats. Her personality is Fearful and her numbers are poor — you are buying the enthusiasm, not the fighter.

[Her eyes widen excitedly]... Do you know what I love more than anything in all the land? Crabs!

Lumi is a female Unique Recruit found in Crab Town. She loves crabs — that is not a description, it is the whole of the character. She hires on for 6,000 Cats.

Where to find her

Crab Town sits in The Pits East and is the capital of the Crab Raiders. The settlement has a property that is unusually friendly to players: the Crab Raiders in town are non-hostile, so anyone can walk in unless you are allied with the Skeleton Bandits or the Skin Bandits.

Out in country that remote, that makes Crab Town a genuinely useful base — somewhere you can sell goods, get a drink, and pick up a recruit. The Crab Queen is here too.

Alliance makes no difference

TipThe wiki notes specifically that being allied with the Crab Raiders does not affect Lumi's dialogue. You do not need to cultivate a relationship with the faction to get her — walk in, pay, walk out.

That is on the low side even among recruits. She carries a Polearm, wears a White Vest, ragged Halfpants and Wooden Sandals, and has a Basic First Aid Kit on her.

Her personality is Fearful — she backs off when things go badly. Putting her on a front line means a long stretch of Toughness training first.

Why people take her anyway

Lumi's value is not in her numbers but in being a character with an actual personality. In a game where most recruits come with a random name and a stock line, someone whose eyes light up about crustaceans gets remembered.

NoteIf you genuinely want to raise her, the fastest route is to park her at an outpost on Labouring and Engineer work first, and worry about combat once she has armour.
