The best Lupa build in Wuthering Waves – Best weapons, Echoes, and team compositions

Given her title as Septimont's biggest star and ability to turn all in her path to sinders through pure Resonance Liberation DMG, it was no surprise that Lupa would arrive as one of the best Fusion units in Wuthering Waves.

But as she won't be entering the arena solo, her team-dependent buffs and debuffs might make the star gladiator a bit demanding. Here's the best Lupa build in Wuthering Waves, and a few teams sure to awaken her true fire.

The best weapons for Lupa in Wuthering Waves

Her signature 5-star, Wildfire Mark, is by far the best weapon for Lupa and will offer her both 48.6% CRIT DMG and a 12% ATK boost from the get-go. It's passive, then allows her to boost her Resonance Liberation DMG by 24% and provide the whole party with a 30-second-long 24% boost in Fusion DMG (all at rank 1).

If you don't have the resources to get her signature, Jinhsi's Ages of Harvest and Jinyan's Verdant Summit are then the next best picks via their passives, as well as their 24% CRIT Rate and 48% CRIT DMG boosts, respectively.

Best F2P choices

If you don't have a premium broadblade in your arsenal, Lustrous Blade is the best F2P option and offers Lupa an up to 21% increase in Liberation DMG. Its 12% ER increase can also be huge when in quick rotations. Regarding 4-star picks, the game's Battle Pass-exclusive Autumntrace can be a worthy alternative if you don't have any 5-stars, mainly via its 20% CRIT Rate boost. To recap, here are the best weapons for Lupa and how to get them in Wuthering Waves:

Weapon (Substat)	Reasons Why	How to Acquire
1. Wildfire Mark (CRIT DMG)	Her signature pick. Offers an unmatched boost in both personal and team-wide DMG.	Gacha (Limited)
2. Verdant Summit (CRIT DMG)	The runner-up for the best weapon spot. Offers the same amount of CRIT DMG as Wildfire Mark and a useful Heavy Attack boost.	Gacha (Limited)
3. Ages of Harvest (CRIT Rate)	A great alternative for those looking to boost her DMG. Its passive might be wasted.	Gacha (Limited)
4. Lustrous Blade (ATK)	The best F2P weapon for Lupa via its massive ATK boost. Its ER passive also helps when in quick rotations.	Standard Gacha. It can also be acquired by choosing it as your free 5-star Weapon Supply Chest pick.
5. Autumntrace (CRIT Rate)	The only 4-star broadblade to offer a CRIT substat.	Pioneer Podcast (Battle Pass)

The best Sonata and echoes for Lupa

Lupa's best Sonata in Wuthering Waves is a full Flaming Clawprint set. Apart from its 10% Fusion DMG increase, the set allows her to provide the whole team with a 15% Fusion and 20% Resonance Liberation DMG boost following Fire-Kissed Glory (her Liberation). To put it in perspective, that allows Lupa to get an up to 45% Fusion DMG increase if paired with the full effects of Pack Hunt (without counting echo stats).

To further boost her DMG, we will then be using Lioness of Glory as our main echo in the well-known 4-3-3-1-1 formation.

Recommended stats and substats

We recommend that you go with CRIT for Lioness of Glory, with the stat being either opposite to that of your chosen weapon or CRIT DMG (if using Lustrous Blade). For the remaining echoes, go with duos of Fusion DMG Bonus and ATK%. Among substats, focus on CRIT Rate and DMG until you reach at least 70/250% before shifting your focus to Liberation DMG Bonus and Energy Regeneration.

Best Lupa teams in Wuthering Waves

As you need a full Fusion team to awaken the full effects of Pack Hunt and Applause of Victory, the best Lupa team features her as a Liberation DPS/buffer set to take on the field in small intervals to perform Fire-Kissed Glory and trigger all of her effects before making way for Changli as its main DPS or Brant as its healer. Ideally, you want to send both of the above to the field after Lupa to trigger Burning Matchpoint and speed up her Wolflame generation in the following rotation.

If you don't have Changli or Brant, Encore can be a great pick for either slot, although she won't be able to offer Lupa the former's 25% Liberation DMG boost or provide healing. Pairing Encore with Chixia can also work if you failed to acquire any of the featured units above. To recap, here are the best premium and free-to-play teams for Lupa in Wuthering Waves:

• Lupa + Changli + Brant: Lupa's premium team, capable of dealing massive damage, getting the most out of her buffs and debuffs, and offering unmatched survivability.
• Lupa + Changli + Encore: A hyper-offensive variation of the above. Has another huge source of Liberation DMG in Encore.
• Lupa + Encore/Chixia (R6) + Brant: Works in the same fashion as our main team. Here, Lupa will take on more field time.
• Lupa + Chixia + Encore: The most F2P-friendly alternative team for Lupa. Has Chixia as a replacement for Changli.
