Introduction: Lupa Build Guide: Materials, Echo Sets & Teams

Lupa (also referred to as Lupa) is an upcoming 5-star character in Wuthering Waves, aligned with the Fusion element and wielding a broadblade weapon. Her kit emphasizes high Resonance Liberation damage, making her a core carry option for teams built around burst damage. With her banner releasing soon, it’s crucial to begin preparing her materials, weapon enhancements, Echo builds, and team compositions. This pre-farm guide walks through everything you need—from boss drops to team synergy—to get Lupa battle-ready on day one.

Whether you're planning to max her out or just build her to a moderate level, this guide will help you organize resources efficiently while optimizing your gameplay.

Ascension Materials

To fully ascend Lupa from level 0 to 90, you’ll need to farm the following materials:

Howler Cores
These drop from various overworld enemies. You will need:
- 4 Lesser Howler Cores (LF)
- 12 Moderate Howler Cores (MF)
- 12 Hyper Howler Cores (HF)
- 4 Fiery Howler Cores (FF)
Unfading Glory
This is obtained by defeating the Lioness of Glory world boss located in one of the newly released zones. Total required:
- 46 Unfading Glory
Bloodleaf Vibrium
This rare overworld resource is native to new areas introduced in the latest update.
- 60 Bloodleaf Vibrium
Shell Credits
- 170,000 Shell Credits are needed for full ascension.

Optional: If you don’t plan on reaching level 90, consider farming based on your preferred max level (e.g., level 70 or 80). Each level cap comes with a different resource cost.

Forte Material Requirements

Maxing out Lupa Forte skills significantly boosts her in-combat performance. You’ll need:

Additional Howler Cores
- 25 LF, 28 MF, 40 HF, and 57 FF
Netherworld Stares
Dropped by the Heate boss—limited to 3 clears per week. You need:

Acquired through Recurring Challenges. Needed in the following rarity tiers:
- 25 Green
- 28 Blue
- 55 Purple
- 67 Gold (Legendary)
Shell Credits
- ~2,000,000 Shell Credits

Make sure to start tackling boss limits weekly to avoid bottlenecks.

Weapon Material Requirements

Lupa best performance comes from properly enhancing her weapon. Here’s what you need:

Whispering Cores

Waveworm Residues (again)

Signature weapons provide significant boosts, so consider investing if you aim for high-end performance.

Echo Set Recommendations

Lupa excels in Fusion damage and benefits significantly from Resonance Liberation boosts. Her top-tier Echo set is:

Flaming Cleft Set
- 2-piece bonus: +10% Fusion DMG
- 5-piece bonus: Using Resonance Liberation boosts Fusion DMG for all Fusion characters by 15%, and 20% more for the caster.
Main Echo (Boss): Lioness of Glory
This Echo not only synergizes with her damage profile but also drops the Unfading Glory material required for ascension.

This Echo set provides high synergy with both Lupa skills and her potential team setups.

Stat Priorities

To maximize Lupa damage output:

Primary Stats
- Fusion DMG Bonus
- ATK%
- Resonance Liberation DMG
Sub-Stats
- Crit Rate / Crit Damage
- Energy Recharge (secondary)

A balanced focus on Crit Rate/Crit Damage ensures consistent burst damage during rotations.

Team Compositions

Lupa pairs extremely well with certain characters. Here are a few team options:

Best Synergy
- Lupa + Brandt – Their kits are built to complement each other’s Fusion-based gameplay, making this the premier duo.
Quick-Swap Option
- Lupa + Brandt + Chang Le – Excellent for fast skill rotation and burst windows.
Healer-Centric Teams
- Lupa + Encore + Verina
- Lupa + Chixia + Baizhi

Brandt is the ideal partner if available, but Lupa can still perform well in secondary comps with flexible support units.

Signature Weapon Overview

Lupa signature weapon, specifically designed for her Fusion-centric kit, significantly enhances her combat potential. Here’s what it offers:

Signature Weapon Effect
- Increases Fusion damage.
- Boosts Resonance Liberation scaling and overall burst impact.
- May include conditional bonuses for maintaining high uptime.

If you’re building a team around Fusion synergies or using Lupa as your main DPS, this weapon is worth the investment. While not mandatory, it helps unlock her full potential, especially in high-difficulty content.
