Does Lumina Stack with Well?

Lumina does not stack with Well of Radiance, as Empowering Buffs do not stack with one another, meaning that if a player has an active Well of Radiance providing a 25% damage bonus, and another player uses Lumina to provide a 35% damage bonus, the player will only receive the 35% damage bonus from Lumina until it expires, at which point the 25% damage bonus from Well of Radiance will kick in. This interaction between Lumina and Well of Radiance is crucial for maximizing damage output in various gameplay scenarios, especially when coordinating with teammates to apply the most beneficial Empowering Buffs at the right moments.
