Depending on the card, giving it {{Stat|Lumin}} can be a tremendous boost in power, and it is such a generically good buff that The Lumin Vase can be useful in basically any deck. The one exception is that it is not always useful to give Lumin to a card with [[Stats#Keywords|Recycle]], as Recycle itself is treated as an effect and thus the [[Junk]] cost for the card will double as well as its other effects. If a [[Tribes#Clunkmasters|Clunkmaster]] deck is producing Junk faster than it can use it up, this can be potentially useful, but it is generally better to simply have Junk production and consumption balanced even without The Lumin Vase's help.

Since [[Crowns]] are generally the cornerstones for getting a deck's synergy going right at the start of battle, giving a Crown to The Lumin Vase allows it to double the effect of a key component in the strategy to make the team that much stronger.

Effects whose values can be modified are always written in orange. This means that the effect scaling of e.g. [[Fungun]] and [[Biji]], where they inflict 1 more stack of their status when hit, does ''not'' benefit from Lumin.
Effects whose values can be modified are always written in orange. This means that the effect scaling of e.g. {{Card|Fungun}}, {{Card|Shen}}, and {{Card|Biji}}, where they inflict 1 more stack of their status when hit, does ''not'' benefit from Lumin; their base effects will still only gain 1 point when hit. However, Lumin itself will then boost the final effect value, making them gain 2 points after Lumin is factored in.

If the player makes it to the [[Eye of the Storm]] and defeats [[Frost Guardian]] while holding The Lumin Vase, the Emperor Shade will flee instead of possessing the player's [[Leaders|Leader]]. The battle ends in a victory instead of a "victory?" and the player can proceed into the [[Heart of the Storm]] to face the true final boss.

Additionally, while the player has The Lumin Vase, losing the battle in the Eye or Heart of the Storm will cause their Leader and deck to become possessed, as though they defeated Frost Guardian without The Lumin Vase. This can be useful if the previous Leader and deck were extremely powerful and are now too difficult to defeat.
