Lupa Overview
Lupa, the Star Gladiator of Septimon, is a 5-star Fusion Resonator wielding a Broadblade. Known for her wild, passionate, and fearless combat style, she’s a short-range melee specialist with high HP, exceptional mobility, and devastating AoE damage. If you’re looking for a high-risk, high-reward main DPS who scales off HP and dominates with Fusion damage, Lupa is your pick.
Lupa Release Date
Lupa is expected to arrive in Phase 2 of Wuthering Waves Version 2.4 on June 12th, following the Phase 1 Cartethyia banner.
Normal Attack
- Basic Attack: Lupa performs up to four consecutive Broadblade strikes, dealing Fusion damage.
- Heavy Attack: Consumes stamina for a charged slash, delivering stronger Fusion damage over a wider area.
- Mid-Air Attack: After jumping, Lupa executes a plunging strike that deals Fusion damage on impact.
- Dodge Counter: A well-timed dodge allows Lupa to counterattack with a Fusion damage strike, unlocking additional combo potential.
Resonance Skill
Purgatory Blaze unleashes a multi-hit Fusion attack that consumes HP for increased damage and energy recovery. It hits a moderate area and can evolve into Blazing Firefly or Blazing Flame for higher burst damage and buffs, depending on the situation.
The skill stacks Apocalypse Ashes (up to three), granting a shield and access to her Final Form at max stacks, boosting mobility and damage output. It also fills her Forte Gauge, making it ideal for quick-swap burst rotations.
Resonance Liberation
Judgment of the Final Flame summons a meteor that creates a burning zone, dealing Fusion damage over time, even when she’s off-field. In her Final Form, the meteor’s damage is amplified, and she gains extra Seeds of Revelation. The skill consumes a small amount of HP to boost damage, granting up to a 20% Fusion damage increase and enhanced Normal Attack damage. This high-risk, high-reward ultimate makes Lupa a cornerstone for Fusion teams.
Forte Circuit
Final Flame of Revelation enhances her attacks based on Max HP, dealing melt (Fusion) damage. Each strike consumes HP, and collecting Seeds of Revelation unlocks a special burst attack that consumes the Forte Gauge for massive Fusion damage. When the gauge is full, her Heavy Attacks and Resonance Skill gain a temporary Fusion damage boost, synergizing with her HP-scaling mechanics.
Intro Skill
When Lupa enters the field, she performs a swift Broadblade slash dealing Fusion damage and granting one stack of Apocalypse Ashes. In Final Form, this skill instead grants a Seed of Revelation, fueling her burst potential.
Outro Skill
Lupa’s Outro Skill boosts the next character’s Fusion damage by 20% and Basic Attack damage by 25% for 14 seconds. After using her Resonance Liberation, Lupa returns to the field for 5 seconds to assist with additional Fusion damage.
Inherent Skill
Lupa may reduce team damage taken while on-field, improving survivability during her rotations. Another passive potentially boosts her Resonance Liberation damage based on Max HP, reinforcing her HP-scaling playstyle.
Lupa Signature Weapon
Lupa’s signature weapon, Scorching Trace (also referred to as Shining Spark in early leaks), is a Broadblade with high base attack and a 48.6% crit damage sub-stat (some leaks suggest crit rate). It boosts attack by 12% and increases damage by 48% for 6 seconds after using skills or Resonance Liberation. Landing critical or heavy hits extends this effect by 4 seconds (once per activation) and grants a 24% team Fusion damage bonus for 30 seconds, enhancing Lupa’s DPS and team synergy.
Lupa Echo Sets
Lupa’s high-damage Fusion playstyle shines with Echo Sets that boost her Fusion Damage, Resonance Liberation, and energy uptime. Choosing the right set and stats is key to maximizing her AoE potential and team synergy. Here are the best options.
Wolf Blaze
- 2-piece: +10% Fusion Damage.
- 5-piece: After using Resonance Liberation, boost team Fusion Damage by 15% and Liberation Damage by 20% for 30 seconds.
- Why? Perfect for Lupa’s ultimate-focused playstyle, amplifying her team’s Fusion output. Pair with Inferno Rider as the Main Echo for enhanced AoE Fusion damage.
Gusts of Welkin
- 2-piece: +10% Energy Regen.
- 5-piece: Increases Resonance Liberation damage by 15% after using Resonance Skill.
- Why? A secondary option (unconfirmed for 2.4) that supports Lupa’s frequent ultimate usage by improving energy uptime. Useful if Wolf Blaze isn’t available.
Echo Stats Priority
- Main Stats:
- 4-cost: HP% (maximizes scaling).
- 3-cost: Fusion Damage% or HP%.
- 3-cost: Critical Rate or Critical Damage.
- Sub-stats:
- Critical Rate
- Critical Damage
- HP%
- Energy Regen (key for frequent ultimates)
- Resonance Liberation Damage
Lupa Team Synergies
Lupa completes the Fusion team, working perfectly with other Fusion characters. Here are the best team compositions to pair her with:
Optimal Fusion Quick-Swap Team
- Lupa (Main DPS): Delivers primary Fusion damage and Outro buffs.
- Changli (Sub-DPS/Support): Enhances Fusion damage with her Outro Skill and deals strong Resonance Skill damage.
- Brandt (Support/Healer): Provides healing, shields, and a 25% Fusion damage buff via his Outro Skill, ensuring team survivability and amplifying Lupa’s output.
Alternative Team (F2P-Friendly or Fusion-Focused)
- Lupa (Main DPS).
- Xiangli Yao or Aero Rover (Sub-DPS): Xiangli Yao, a Fusion character, boosts Lupa’s Fusion synergy with strong damage and buffs, ideal for Fusion-focused teams. Aero Rover, a free Aero unit, complements Lupa’s mobility and adds AoE damage, perfect for F2P players.
- Verina (Healer/Support): Offers team-wide healing and damage buffs, countering Lupa’s HP-draining mechanics.
- Why? This team provides flexibility, Xiangli Yao maximizes Fusion synergy for premium players, while Aero Rover and Verina keep it accessible for F2P players.
