After completing the first half of the Rinascita quest in Wuthering Waves, your adventure continues in Septimont. Here, you’ll encounter familiar faces from the Fractsidus, and you’ll meet a remarkable warrior named Lupa, who makes an excellent first impression.
In the second half of the Version 2.4 update, Lupa becomes a playable five-star Fusion character wielding the Broadblade. Her abilities deal significant damage, but her primary role in your team is to enhance the other characters.
Best Weapons for Lupa
As a Broadblade user, Lupa has limited weapon options, as not many characters utilize this weapon in Wuthering Waves. However, Wildfire Mark is Lupa’s top weapon, being her signature piece. While other options exist, they may reduce her overall damage and utility.
Fortunately, the five-star standard Broadblade also performs decently with her. Here are your weapon choices:
| Weapon Name | Rarity | Synergy With Lupa |
|---|---|---|
| Wildfire Mark | Five-Star | This is an excellent weapon for Lupa. It grants Crit DMG and free ATK, adding extra support utility by boosting her Resonance Liberation DMG by 24% whenever her Intro or Liberation abilities are used. The Heavy Attack DMG can further extend this buff and provide a 24% boost to Fusion DMG for other party members, enhancing her synergy. |
| Lustrous Razor | Five-Star | This weapon is good on Lupa, offering substantial ATK and Energy Regen. It’s especially effective when she uses three different Resonance Skills, providing up to a 21% Liberation DMG bonus, which is crucial for her damage output. |
| Autumntrace | Four-Star | This weapon boosts Lupa’s Crit Rate as a secondary stat, making her easier to build. Additionally, it can provide an extra 20% ATK. |
| Waning Redshift | Four-Star | This weapon significantly increases Lupa’s ATK, making it easier for her to activate Resonance Liberation, which helps maintain team efficiency. |
| Helios Cleaver | Four-Star | This weapon also grants Lupa considerable ATK, letting her stack damage progressively after using her Resonance Skill. |
Lupa Echo Guide
Finding the right echoes for Lupa can be tricky, especially since she acts as a support disguised as a DPS. Fortunately, her top echo sets and main echoes are identified easily; Flaming Clawprint serves as her best echo set, while the Lioness of Glory is the top main echo.
Best Echo Sets for Lupa
| Echo Set | Description |
|---|---|
| Flaming Clawprint | This set is the ideal choice for Lupa, granting Fusion DMG while boosting both her and her team’s Fusion DMG and Liberation DMG when her abilities are activated. |
| Moonlit Clouds | This is suitable for early game, providing extra ATK to the resonator Lupa switches to with her Outro Skill. |
Best Main Echo Choices
| Echo Name | Set | Synergy With Lupa |
|---|---|---|
| Lioness of Glory | Flaming Clawprint | Equipping this gives Lupa a 12% boost to Fusion and Liberation DMG, benefiting her greatly. |
| Impermanence Heron | Moonlit Clouds | This echo helps regenerate Energy for Lupa and grants a DMG bonus to the character she switches to with her Outro. |
Echo Stat Priority for Lupa
| Cost | Priority Stats |
|---|---|
| Cost 4 | Crit Rate > Crit DMG (unless using Autumntrace) |
| Cost 3 | Fusion DMG Bonus > Energy Regen |
| Cost 1 | ATK Percent |
| Sub-Stats | Crit Rate/DMG > ATK Percent > Energy Regen > Resonance Liberation DMG |
Tip: Lupa only needs around 125-130% Energy Regen for her best team, which can be achieved through sub-stats, enabling her to utilize double Fusion DMG Bonus Cost three echoes effectively. Her optimal echo setup follows a 4-3-3-1-1 pattern.
Best Lupa Team Compositions
| Team Type | Team Members |
|---|---|
| Premium Team | Lupa, Brant, Changli |
| Alternate Team | Lupa, Shorekeeper, Changli / Lupa, Shorekeeper, Encore |
| F2P Team | Lupa, Baizhi, Encore |
Lupa’s abilities shine brightest when paired with three Fusion characters, which tightens team composition requirements. While her synergy with Brant and Changli allows seamless transitions between skills, using different partners can decrease overall damage.

Lupa’s Kit Explained:
- Lupa can acquire Wolflame through normal attacks and Resonance Skills, crucial for using her enhanced skills. Collecting two Wolfaith enables her to perform high-damage Resonance Skills.
- Using Resonance Liberation grants buffs like Pack Hunt and Glory, enhancing team damage and reducing enemy Fusion resistance.
- Lupa’s Outro Skill boosts the next teammate’s Fusion and Basic Attack DMG.
Lupa’s Attack Cycle
Essentially, Lupa’s attack cycle begins with her Resonance Liberation, followed by normal attacks to generate Wolfaith. If using Lustrous Razor, you can perform basic Resonance Skills prior to using her Liberation.
Lupa Upgrade Priority
Upgrade Lupa’s Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit first. After that, consider her Normal Attack and Intro Skill, and then invest in her Resonance Skill.
With this guide, you’ll be well-prepared to optimize Lupa in Wuthering Waves, ensuring she fulfills her role effectively in your team.
