Wuthering Waves Lupa Build Guide
A Gladiator of Septimont, a radiant star of the arena.<br/>Fiery and straightforward, Lupa lives like a wild lone wolf. As long as she can savor the adrenaline rush of battle, she doesn't mind if that same fire ends up consuming her whole.
Best Echo Sets for Lupa
Best (5-piece) — The definitive Fusion enabler. Increases Fusion DMG Bonus for the whole team and raises Resonance Liberation DMG, making it ideal for mono-Fusion teams.
Second-best (5-piece) — Good early-game option that increases Fusion DMG for Lupa personally but doesn't buff other Fusion resonators. Replace once Flaming Clawprint is available.
Third option (5-piece) — Suited for a sub-DPS / funneling playstyle; buffs the next resonator's ATK but provides no Fusion DMG Bonus for Lupa herself.
Lupa's Best Primary Echo
Lioness of Glory
The best option for Lupa: increases Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG. It's a summon echo so it doesn't interrupt combos, and its material is Lupa ascension material.
Nightmare: Inferno Rider
Alternative Molten Rift main echo if you lack Flaming Clawprint echoes; raises Fusion DMG and Resonance Skill. Replace with Lioness of Glory when available.
Inferno Rider
Very early-game Molten Rift option if you aren't in later regions yet. Replace with Lioness of Glory or Nightmare version when possible.
Impermanence Heron
Works with Moonlit Clouds set to buff the next resonator's ATK — good for funneling damage to the next on-field resonator but reduces Lupa's personal damage.

Galbrena Fusion Echo Skill Team

Semi-Premium Mono-Fusion Team
Start Lupa: Starfall → Resonance Skill twice → Resonance Liberation to gain Pack Hunt and Glory → Foebreaker., Do Foebreaker → three Mid-air attacks → Heavy to fill Wolfaith. Use Enhanced Resonance Skill when ready then switch to the next Resonator (Encore if on Changli team; Brant if on Brant team)., On the next Resonator (Encore/Brant), perform their optimal combos to exploit Lupa's Fusion DMG and Basic Attack amplification; when they use Liberation, Lupa will perform a Coordinated Attack., When their Outro is ready, switch to the third Resonator (Changli if present / Encore depending on variant) and run their rotations to build Concerto., Switch back to Lupa when her enhanced Intro (Nowhere to Run!) is ready and continue the loop., Repeat until combat is finished.
Dual Fusion Team
Start on Shorekeeper: run ideal combos to build Resonance and Concerto → use Stellarealm when ready and switch to Lupa when her Intro is available., On Lupa: cast Resonance Skill twice → Liberation → Foebreaker to enter Burning Matchpoint state., Connect three Mid-air attacks after Foebreaker to trigger Firestrike, then Heavy to complete Wolfaith stacks., Use Enhanced Resonance Skill and switch to Brant when Lupa's Concerto is full., On Brant: maximize Lupa's Outro and Liberation buffs with his rotations; when he casts Liberation, Lupa will do a Coordinated Attack., After Brant's combos and when his Outro is ready, switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate Stellarealm; repeat the cycle., Note: Lupa's S3 removes Mono-Fusion restrictions from Pack Hunt, allowing maximum Fusion RES shred even with non-Fusion supports, though overall performance is still below a full mono-Fusion team.
