- Most of Summer Lute's kit needs to be replaced or added for her to truly shine. Luckily, her weapon is not one of these things, as Flora Guide is one of the best inheritable blue tomes at the time of its release. With the ability to debuff an opponent by -5/-5 Spd/Res, Flora Guide essentially gives Lute an extra 5 Attack and 5 Speed for doubling, while also offering her team field support.
- Still, she can also run the tried-and-true Bladetome build to great effect. Flora Tome is recommended for more difficult modes, as Lull skills will hamper Bladetome effectiveness and Lute will miss the additional Speed brought to her by her native tome, however, Blárblade has a much higher damage ceiling.
- While Fury is ideal for its synergy with Desperation, Lute may miss out on doubling some of the newer speedy units without as much investment into Speed as possible. For this, Swift Sparrow is generally better, but Fury 4 should be considered over Swift Sparrow 2.
- Joint Hone Spd further helps Lute become a hybrid support/damage dealer as she can buff herself and an ally while debuffing her opponent's Speed for both of them to take advantage of.
- Swift Sparrow is the obvious Seal of choice, but Darting Blow can help to push Lute's Speed tier just a little bit higher for doubles against tricky myrmidons.

- Lute brings her debuffing expertise over from her infantry form with this build, which capitalizes on her higher Resistance in order to cripplingly debuff her opponent. With an effective Resistance stat of 45 after boon, refine, and Fury, Lute is able to debuff 3 stats at once if the enemy AI can be predicted so she can hit both ploys.
- This enables Summer Lute to work as a support unit on a team, but also to go on the offense with her Fury-buffed stats. With this, she creates a disparity between her stats and her opponent's - just like a prodigy should.
- However, it can be tricky to land her Ploys, as her opponents have to end their turn in a cardinal direction from her. She can instead rely on simply a Sabotage skill in her B slot and go more on the defensive with Distant Def in her seal slot - or even offensive with something like Swift Sparrow and a Speed refine on her tome.
Strengths
4 star focus
Lute is our first 4 star focus tome flier, making her one of the most easily accessible tome fliers in the game - if you pull on her seasonal banner. This also makes her easy to merge, which can make up for her somewhat lackluster stat distribution when compared with other tome fliers. She is an excellent pickup for summoners looking to round out their barracks without significant orb investments.
Build flexible
Lute's stat spread allows her to fulfill the role of both a Resistance tank and a bruiser on your team. Due to her merge availability, it is easy to have her specialize in several different tasks: she can focus on debuffing, on buffing her own Speed for offensive power, or on tanking magical hits for her team.
Weaknesses
Lackluster stat spread
Lute's stats could be considered somewhat of an improvement on her infantry self, with +4 HP / -1 Atk / +2 Spd / +1 Def / -2 Res, but it's still not competitive with 5 star exclusive blue tome fliers such as Summer Laegjarn. At maximum investment, Lute will be outperformed by Summer Laegjarn and other five star exclusive tome fliers.
Terrible defense
Lute's Defense is very poor at 17. She tries to make up for this with her 37 HP, but she is still extremely vulnerable to counterattacks from physical damage opponents and will be oneshot by every bow unit in the game.
