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 inWuthering 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 inWuthering 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 Lupaand 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 andJinyan‘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 inWuthering Waves:
The best Sonata and echoes for Lupa
Lupa’s best Sonata inWuthering Wavesis 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 forChanglias 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,Encorecan 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 withChixiacan 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 inWuthering Waves:
