Lumia Leaf is by far the most important currency in Destiny: Rising, as it allows you to pull on the limited-time banners that will have new characters on them. You can use it for other things, but I would strongly encourage you to save it only for the new banner heroes that take your fancy. 

How to farm Lumia Leaf – Destiny: Rising

There are multiple ways that you can get your hands on more Lumia Leaf in Destiny: Rising. 

• The Tree of Lights Blessing – This is a monthly service that gives you access to premium currency, including Lumia Leaf. You can find it under your Subscription tab in the Store. It is actually very good value for money, and you log in each day to claim your currency.
• Destination Exploration – Exploration destinations like JIangshi Metro and opening the Golden Age Legacy chests are a great way to get more Lumia Leaf. You can also open randomly spawning normal chests to get some.
• Triumphs – The Triumphs tab can be found on the Homepage, and will show you any completed Triumphs you have not claimed yet. These can reward you with Lumia Leaf.
• Finishing campaign missions – each campaign mission will usually reward you with some Lumia Leaf upon completion. 
• Handbook challenges – Complete challenges in your Handbook.
• Check your mail – there can be free Lumia Leaf from finished surveys in your in-game mail.
• Bounties – finishing Daily and Weekly Bounties is a great way to earn more Lumia Leaf.
• The Shifting Gates – This is Destiny: Rising’s PvPvE mode, and if you can spend some time in there, you will earn Lumia Leaf by ranking up.
• Events – The game will regularly run events that reward Lumia Leaf, such as the ongoing New Light Challenges and Wolf’s Ascension events.
• Silver – You can buy Silver for real money, then exchange it for Lumia Leaf. 

As a little tip, I strongly suggest holding onto your Lumia Leaf right now, as the specialist Banner characters are nearly always power crept pretty quickly in gacha games. Right now, you can get Tan-2 on the fixed Banner using Bon Voyage tokens, and as a powerful support character, he is likely to stay relevant for a long time.
