It wasn’t surprising at all that Lupa, known as Septimont’s foremost star with an extraordinary power to transform everything she encounters into resonant energy through Resonance Liberation DMG, would emerge among the top Fusion units in the game Wuthering Waves.
However, since she won’t fight alone in the arena, her team-reliant bonuses and penalties could potentially make her the main gladiator more complex. Here is an optimal build for Lupa in Wuthering Waves, along with a few teams that will bring out her full potential.

The best weapons for Lupa in Wuthering Waves
Her renowned 5-star ability, Wildfire Mark, is undeniably the top choice for Lupa. It immediately grants her 48.6% CRIT DMG and a 12% boost in attack power. Initially passive, it later amplifies her Resonance Liberation DMG by 24%. Additionally, it enhances the entire party’s Fusion DMG for a period of 30 seconds, increasing it by 24%, even at rank 1.
If you can’t manage to obtain her signature, then Jinhsi’s Ages of Harvest and Jinyan’s Verdant Summit would be excellent alternatives. Their passive abilities are quite effective, along with their 24% Crit Rate and 48% Critical Damage increases respectively.
Best F2P choices
1. Lustrous Blade (Free option)
2. Autumntrace (Battle Pass exclusive, if no 5-stars available)
| 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 outstanding Sonata in Wuthering Waves is a complete Flaming Clawprint collection. In addition to boosting her Fusion damage by 10%, this set enables her to amplify the whole team’s Fusion and Resonance Liberation damage by 15% and 20% respectively, after triggering Fire-Kissed Glory (her Liberation ability). Translation: Lupa can potentially increase her Fusion damage by up to 45% if she utilizes this set in conjunction with Pack Hunt (without considering echo stats).
To enhance her damage output even more, we’ll switch to the iconic 4-3-3-1-1 formation and make Lioness of Glory our primary echo character.
Recommended stats and substats
As a fan, I’d suggest optimizing your Lioness of Glory build by prioritizing CRIT or CRIT Damage (if using Lustrous Blade). For the rest of the echoes, pair Fusion Damage Bonus with Attack Percentage for best results. In terms of substats, aim for a minimum of 70% Crit Rate and 250% Crit Damage before focusing on Liberation Damage Bonus and Energy Regeneration.
Best Lupa teams in Wuthering Waves
To maximize the potency of Pack Hunt and Applause of Victory, an optimal Lupa team configuration includes Lupa as a DPS/buffer with Fire-Kissed Glory abilities, who rotates onto the battlefield briefly to activate all her effects before handing over to Changli or Brant. Ideally, you’d want to deploy both of them after Lupa, triggering Burning Matchpoint and accelerating Wolflame generation in your subsequent team rotation.
Or:
If you don’t have Changli or Brant, Encore can be a suitable replacement for either role, but she won’t offer the 25% Liberation DMG boost or healing that they do. Combining Encore with Chixia is also an option if you haven’t acquired any of the mentioned characters above. In brief, these are the recommended 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.
After learning to unleash Lupa’s full power, it would be advantageous to explore the fresh Wuthering Waves [WuWa] code for an added dose of Astrite as well.
