Lupa’s Gameplay and Playstyle

Lupa is a versatile 5-star Fusion-element Resonator who wields a Broadblade. While she can deliver respectable personal damage, her true value shines in Fusion-based team compositions as a powerful support unit.

Support Utility

Lupa’s Resonance Liberation grants two unique buffs to the entire team—Pack Hunt and Glory:

Pack Hunt boosts all teammates’ DMG by 6%. When the active character triggers an Intro Skill, this bonus increases by an additional 6%, stacking up to a maximum of 18%.
Glory enables all team members to bypass 3–9% of the enemy’s Fusion Resistance (RES), depending on how many Fusion Resonators are in the team. With three Fusion characters, an additional 6% Fusion RES is ignored.

Her Outro Skill further enhances the next character by granting +20% Fusion DMG and +25% Basic Attack DMG—perfect for enabling Fusion-based carry units.

Personal DPS Potential

Lupa builds up Wolflame by landing attacks. Once she accumulates at least 50 Wolflame, she can consume it through her Heavy Attack or Mid-Air Stage 3 Attack to restore Wolfaith.

When her Wolfaith meter is full, Lupa gains access to an Enhanced Resonance Skill, significantly amplifying her damage output and making her a flexible hybrid unit for both support and burst damage roles.

Skill Priority for Lupa

Prioritizing skills is crucial in any Wuthering Waves Lupa build guide. For Lupa, here’s the ideal order of upgrade:

Skill	Priority	Notes
Inherent Skill	★★★★★ (High)	Core to her support utility and team synergy.
Intro Skill	★★★★★ (High)	Triggers important team-wide buffs (Pack Hunt).
Resonance Liberation	★★★★★ (High)	Grants powerful damage boosts and Fusion RES shred.
Forte Circuit	★★★★☆ (High)	Unlocks enhanced skill when Wolfaith is full.
Normal Attack	★★☆☆☆ (Low)	Not essential to her kit; low damage scaling.
Resonance Skill	★★☆☆☆ (Low)	Basic skill with limited value without enhancements.

Best Weapons for Lupa

Lupa is a flexible support unit who also delivers solid personal damage. Since she doesn’t face issues with Energy Regeneration, her weapon choices should focus on increasing her offensive potential. In this Wuthering Waves Lupa build guide, her signature weapon, Wildfire Mark, stands out as the best option—offering high Crit DMG, ATK boosts, and a powerful team-wide buff that grants a 24% DMG Bonus to all allies at Refinement 1 (R1).

Best Echo Sets for Lupa

The Flaming Clawprint Echo set, newly introduced in Version 2.4, is currently the best option for Lupa. This set not only enhances her personal Fusion damage but also provides powerful team-wide buffs, making it ideal for her support-focused playstyle.

Best Choice: Full Flaming Clawprint Echo Set

Echo Cost: 43311

Set Bonus Effects

This full 5-piece set maximizes both Lupa’s personal output and her team support utility, making it her top-tier Echo configuration.

This hybrid set is a great early-game or transitional build for players who haven’t yet farmed the full Flaming Clawprint set. It’s easy to assemble and still gives Lupa solid damage and support value.

Best Echo Stats for Lupa

To maximize Lupa’s performance as a hybrid support-DPS unit, selecting the right Echo stats is essential. In this Wuthering Waves Lupa build guide, you’ll find a breakdown of the optimal main stats and valuable sub-stats to help her reach peak performance.

Echo Main Stats

Main Stat	Echo Cost	Notes
CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG	4-Cost	Best offensive stats to maximize burst and scaling.
Fusion DMG% / ATK%	3-Cost	Boosts elemental damage output and overall DPS.

Echo Sub-Stats

Sub-Stat	Priority	Notes
CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG	★★★★ (High)	Core stats for boosting Lupa’s damage reliably.
ATK%	★★★ (High)	Increases total attack scaling for better overall output.
Resonance Liberation DMG	★★ (Mid)	Situational but useful for amplifying her Liberation burst.
Energy Regeneration	★ (Low)	Not essential, as Lupa doesn’t struggle with Energy regeneration.

Best Team Comps for Lupa

Lupa shines brightest when paired with Fusion-element teammates, thanks to her powerful Outro Skill that boosts Fusion DMG. Her synergy is especially strong with Brant, making him her best partner for Fusion-centric team builds. If you don’t have Brant, you can substitute with other Fusion DPS characters like Changli or Encore, and include Shorekeeper or Verina for support and healing. Below are several optimized team compositions for Lupa across various playstyles and rosters.

Premium Fusion Team

Main DPS	Sub DPS / Support	Buffer
Brant (5★)	Lupa (5★)	Changli (5★)

Ideal for high-damage rotations with full Fusion synergy. Changli and Brant benefit heavily from Lupa’s Outro buffs and Fusion RES shred.

Lupa + Shorekeeper/Verina Teams

Team Composition	Notes
Lupa (5★) + Brant (5★) + Shorekeeper (5★)	Balanced mix of DPS, support, and sustain.
Lupa (5★) + Encore (5★) + Shorekeeper (5★)	Strong AoE damage with reliable healing.
Lupa (5★) + Encore (5★) + Verina (5★)	Great for off-field healing and buffing.

These setups work well for players who want a flexible Fusion team with better survivability.

Triple Fusion Team

Fusion Resonators

Lupa (5★) + Brant (5★) + Chixia (4★)

Lupa (5★) + Brant (5★) + Mortefi (4★)

Triple Fusion comps maximize Lupa’s Glory passive, allowing the team to ignore a significant amount of Fusion Resistance and deal amplified elemental damage.

F2P-Friendly Team

Main DPS	Support / Sub DPS	Healer
Chixia (4★)	Lupa (5★)	Baizhi (4★)

Perfect for free-to-play players. Chixia benefits from Lupa’s Fusion buffs, while Baizhi offers solid healing and light utility.
