Best Echo Sets for

5pc

The definitive Fusion enabler kit that also increases the Fusion DMG Bonus of the whole party. In addition, the set also increases the Resonance Liberation DMG which is perfect for Lupa.

5pc

Second best, and the early game option. Molten Rift provides enough Fusion DMG Bonus to increase Lupa's personal damage but does nothing to support other Fusion resonators. Use this echo set if you do not have access to Flaming Clawprint echoes but replace this as soon as you arrive in Septimont.

5pc

A great alternative for a sub-DPS Lupa which enables her to funnel all the damage into the next Resonator entering the field. Sacrifices a lot of Lupa's personal damage because this does not provide any Fusion DMG Bonus at all. Replace with Flaming Clawprint after getting to Septimont.

's Best Primary Echo

The best option for Lupa as it increases Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG. A summon echo, so it does not interrupt Lupa's combo at all. Its material is also Lupa's ascension material, so farming it would not be a hassle.

An alternative Molten Rift option for Lupa if you do not have Flaming Clawprint echoes yet. Increases Fusion DMG and Resonance Skill, so it would be a bit helpful for Lupa's personal damage. Replace this with Lioness of Glory as soon as you arrive in Septimont.

Very early game alternative for Molten Rift Lupa, especially if you're not in Rinascita yet. Replace with Lioness of Glory if able, or the Nightmare version if you want to stick with Molten Rift.

Echo that works with Moonlit Clouds. Increases the ATK of the next resonator taking the field which is still great if you want to funnel as much damage as possible to that Resonator. Sacrifices a bit of Lupa's personal DMG.

Best Tips & Tricks for

Aim for 120-125% Energy Regen in sub-stats to comfortably perform rotations.
Target around 75% Crit Rate and 250% Crit DMG for optimal damage balance.
Use Intro Skill 'Try Focusing, Eh?' to trigger enhanced attacks, and utilize the Forte Circuit's 'Dance With the Wolf' for big damage.
Remember to maintain Wolfaith stacks by using Heavy Attacks and Mid-air Attacks.

Best Teams for

High Synergy Mono-Fusion DPS Team

This team does not need a healer, as Brant provides both healing and shielding.

1. Start off with Lupa and perform Starfall, followed by her Resonance Skill's two casts. Immediately cast her Liberation after to activate Pack Hunt and Glory. You can follow this up with Foebreaker., 2. Build up her Wolflame stacks and convert it to Wolfaith via her Heavy and Mid-air Attacks. Once available, perform her enhanced Resonance Skill and switch out to Brant to amplify his Fusion DMG and Basic Attack DMG., 3. Having Brant on-field, do his optimal rotations to build up his Resonance Energy. When his Liberation is available, activate it to deal damage and have Lupa do a Coordinated Attack with Set the Arena Ablaze., 4. Quickly build Bravo stacks and cast Returned from Ashes when available. Then, switch to Changli once his Concerto energy is full. This will also enhance Lupa's Pack Hunt effects., 5. Do Changli's optimal rotations to maximize her on-field damage with her Forte. Do this and fill her Concerto gauge quickly., 6. Once available, switch to Lupa to perform her enhanced Intro Skill, Nowhere to Run!., 7. Repeat until all enemies are defeated in combat.

Galbrena Fusion Echo Skill Team

Lupa works alongside Galbrena and Qiuyuan to make up a semi-Fusion team that focuses on buffing Galbrena as much as possible. Lupa gets to provide Fusion-centric buffs that she can funnel on to Galbrena. Despite not being able to activate the maximum amount, her extra ATK and Fusion DMG buffs are still really strong. Qiuyuan gives huge Echo Skill DMG buffs to the entire team, and especially towards the next Resonator with his Outro. Furthermore, he gives extra Crit DMG to the incoming Resonator which in this team should be Galbrena.

1. Start with Lupa and cast her two Resonance Skill instances followed by her Liberation. Continue this with Foebreaker and build up her Wolflame stacks., 2. When Wolflame is full, convert it to Wolfaith with her Mid-air and Heavy Attacks. Lastly, cast Echo Skill for Galbrena's Afterflame stacks then use Resonance Skill and switch to Qiuyuan when Outro is available., 3. Upon entering the field, have Qiuyuan do two Basic Attacks to fill his Forte. Then, activate his Echo Skill for Galbrena's passive and Liberation to deal damage and buff her Crit. DMG., 4. After his Liberation, hold Heavy Attack to do a 3-string attack. Lastly, cast Resonance Skill and switch to Galbrena with his Outro to amplify Echo Skill DMG., 5. With Galbrena on-field, press Echo Skill to generate Afterflame and follow it up with 6 Basic Attacks. This will fill her Sinflame stacks, letting her cast her Enhanced Resonance Skill and enter the Demon Hypostasis state., 6. After entering Demon Hypostasis, activate her Liberation to deal significant Echo Skill DMG and increase her skills' DMG multipliers. Then, follow this up with 7 Basic Attacks to deplete her Forte gauge for extra damage., 7. Once her Forte is fully consumed and her Concerto filled, switch back to Lupa to complete the rotation., 8. Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Lupa Fusion Burst Team

Note: Aemeath and Denia must be set to Fusion Burst Mode.

1. Begin as Lupa and press two of her Resonance Skills followed by her Resonance Liberation. Continue with Foebreaker and build up her Wolflame stacks (Forte gauge) with mid-air attacks., 2. When Wolflame is full, convert it to Wolfaith with her Mid-air and Heavy Attacks. Lastly, use Resonance Skill and switch to Denia when Outro is available., 3. Once Denia enters the field via Intro, press one Basic Attack followed by a Resonance Skill to fill her Forte gauge. Then, cast Resonance Liberation to enter the Breakdown Form., 4. In Breakdown Form, perform one Basic Attack String and immediately follow it up with two casts of her Empowered Resonance Skill., 5. Afterwards, press Resonance Liberation and switch out to Aemeath via Outro., 6. As Aemeath enters via Intro, perform three Basic Attacks followed by her Resonance Liberation., 7. Then, do four Basic Attacks and a Resonance Skill afterwards. Repeat this twice until there are four diamonds in her Forte gauge., 8. Next, hold Basic Attack and press Resonance Skill once it's glowing to perform Aemeath's nuke skill. Lastly, switch out to Chisa once Outro is available., 9. Repeat until all enemies are defeated.

Semi-Premium Mono-Fusion Team (Changli)

If you do not have either Changli or Brant, Encore is a good replacement for the other missing Resonator. Majority of Encore's attacks are also Basic Attacks, so she will be able to use Lupa's Outro Skills.

1. Start off with Lupa's Starfall and activate Resonance Skill twice immediately after. Then, cast her Resonance Liberation to receive Pack Hunt and Glory's team-wide effects., 2. Follow this up with Foebreaker and three Mid-air attacks to perform Firestrike. After this, do a Heavy Attack to fill your Wolfaith. Once available, perform her Enhanced Resonance Skill and switch to another Resonator.
Next Resonator: In Changli's team, switch to Encore., 3. When Encore is on-field, do her optimal combos and maximize the effects of Lupa's Fusion DMG and Basic Attack DMG Amplification. When you use her Liberation, Lupa will also perform a Coordinated Attack., 4. Once Encore's Outro is available, switch to Changli., 5. With Changli on-field, do her internal rotations to deal damage while in Lupa's buff duration. Build her Concerto energy and switch to Lupa once available., 6. Lupa will enter the field via her enhanced Intro Skill, Nowhere to Run!., 7. From here, you can repeat the previous steps until all enemies are defeated.

Semi-Premium Mono-Fusion Team (Brant)

Though for Brant teams, we suggest funneling Lupa's Outro to Brant since his Basic Attack DMG scaling is better than Encore's.

1. Start off with Lupa's Starfall and activate Resonance Skill twice immediately after. Then, cast her Resonance Liberation to receive Pack Hunt and Glory's team-wide effects., 2. Follow this up with Foebreaker and three Mid-air attacks to perform Firestrike. After this, do a Heavy Attack to fill your Wolfaith. Once available, perform her Enhanced Resonance Skill and switch to another Resonator.
Next Resonator: In Brant's team, switch to Brant., 3. When Brant is on-field, do his optimal combos and maximize the effects of Lupa's Fusion DMG and Basic Attack DMG Amplification. When you use his Liberation, Lupa will also perform a Coordinated Attack., 4. Once Brant's Outro is available, switch to Encore., 5. With Encore on-field, do her internal rotations to deal damage while in Lupa's buff duration. Build her Concerto energy and switch to Lupa once available., 6. Lupa will enter the field via her enhanced Intro Skill, Nowhere to Run!., 7. From here, you can repeat the previous steps until all enemies are defeated.

Dual Fusion Team

A dual fusion team can also work, but not as effective as a mono Fusion team. The usual Support Shorekeeper in the third slot will provide damage boosts and healing off-field with Lupa providing Fusion Amplification to the main DPS as the defacto Sub-DPS. For this team, the best one to have is Brant, since Lupa can also increase his Basic Attack DMG. Do take note of Lupa's S3 as the sequence removes the Mono-Fusion restrictions of Lupa's Pack Hunt. Though this team is still not as effective as a full Fusion team even with S3, this enables you to at least get the maximum Fusion RES shred from Lupa even with a Spectro support like Shorekeeper.

1. Start with Shorekeeper and do her ideal combos to build her Resonance and Concerto gauges. Activate Stellarealm when available and switch out to Lupa when her Intro is ready., 2. Enter the field with Lupa and perform her Resonance Skill's two casts before activating her Liberation. Then, cast Foebreaker to enter the Burning Matchpoint state., 3. Connect three Mid-air attacks after Foebreaker to immediately cast Firestrike. Then, do a Heavy Attack to complete her Wolfaith stacks., 4. Activate her enhanced Resonance Skill and switch to Brant once her Concerto gauge is filled., 5. With Brant on-field, maximize Lupa's Outro and Liberation buffs by doing his optimal rotations. When he casts his Liberation the first time, Lupa will perform a Coordinated Attack., 6. After Brant finishes his combos and his Outro is available, switch to Shorekeeper. This will detonate Stellarealm., 7. You can repeat this until all enemies are defeated. Do note that the next instance Lupa enters the field after Shorekeeper, she will perform an enhanced Intro Skill.

General Mono Fusion Off-Tune Team

If you have both Lupa and Mornye, they make up a general Mono Fusion team that works with many Fusion DPS units. While Mornye provides All-Type DMG buffs, healing, and enhanced Off-Tune Level Buildup against enemies, Lupa greatly buffs Fusion DMG for the entire team, boosted even further when against bosses! This is a flexible team that you can use as an alternate setup, especially when splitting the Tune Break core made up of Lynae and Mornye into separate teams.
