Ages of Harvest
R1BestJinhsi's weapon is currently also the best broadblade option for Lumi's damage, who benefits a great amount from the Skill DMG Bonus the weapon provides, as it boosts a good chunk of her rotations damage. The high base ATK, 24% CRIT Rate and 12% DMG Bonus the weapon additionally provides are also all stats that are welcome for her, making it a very high damage option

Verdant Summit
R1Jiyan's signature weapon that's not only fantastic for him but also usable on all damage-focused Broadblade users. Offers a huge main stat of CRIT DMG% granting excellent scaling, 12% permanent generic DMG% and up to 48% increased Heavy ATK DMG% after using 1/2 skills and or a Resonance Liberation.
101.1%

Waning Redshift
R5A solid F2P 4* broadblade option for any DPS character scaling off of ATK. The ATK% boost it provides when casting your Resonance Skill is great on most characters, and while the small energy generation it provides at the same time is more situational, it can be handy as well.

Lumi build summary
Ages of Harvest is the weapon to build around. Without it, Verdant Summit, Lustrous Razor and Autumntrace are the next picks, in that order.
On the Moonlit Clouds set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Electro DMG on the 3-cost, Electro DMG > Energy Regen on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK.
The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S5 (+100% DMG), S3 (+30% Liberation DMG) and S4 (+30% Basic Attack DMG). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → Intro Skill → Basic Attack.
Ascension needs 46× Thundering Tacet Core above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
