Lupa Overview

Lupa is a 5-star Fusion Broadblade Resonator released on July 3, 2025. She is a support-oriented hybrid with real sub-DPS value, and her strongest role is enabling coordinated-attack teams and high-end Fusion lineups.

Lupa is a strong pull if your roster uses Changli, Brant, Galbrena, or coordinated-attack shells that can fully convert her buffs. She is not as universally flexible as general sustain units, but within her niche she is one of the best premium pickups available.

If you are preparing pulls or weapon resources, Topuplist offers a convenient recharge option through the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page.

Kit Snapshot

Lupa gives teams strong coordinated-attack support, useful Fusion synergy, and real field presence when she needs to contribute damage directly. She is not just a buff bot. Her own attacks matter enough that a proper build always feels better than a bare support setup.

Her biggest advantages are:

  • strong coordinated-attack team support,

  • valuable Fusion synergy,

  • respectable personal output for a support slot.

Powerful premium alternative with strong stats.

Ages of Harvest

Reliable stat-stick option.

Budget

Autumntrace

Best practical low-cost fallback.

Wildfire Howl gives Lupa the cleanest mix of personal damage and team-facing value, which is exactly what her role wants.

Flaming Clawprint

Team buff alternative

Moonlit Clouds

Impermanence Heron

Flaming Clawprint is the preferred set because it supports both her own damage and the coordinated-attack team pattern she wants to enable.

Resonance Chain Value

Lupa is already a premium support-hybrid at S0. Additional chains improve her total output and team support value, but she does not need them to perform her main job.

Best Teams

Team Goal

Recommended Core

Best Fusion team

Galbrena + Lupa + Mornye

Coordinated attack shell

Changli + Lupa + The Shorekeeper

Brant support team

Brant + Lupa + premium sustain

Lupa is at her best when the team actively converts her coordinated-attack support into real total damage instead of treating her like a generic buffer.

Rotation

Lupa usually wants a short and efficient support window:

Intro -> Skill -> Liberation -> core attack string -> Echo -> Outro

On Moonlit Clouds, use the Echo close to handoff timing. On Flaming Clawprint, the exact Echo timing is a little more flexible.

Lupa's exact material route uses Unfading Glory, Bloodleaf Viburnum, the Howler Core line, the Waveworn Residue series, and weekly The Netherworld's Stare.

Final Verdict

Lupa is a high-value specialist for coordinated-attack and Fusion teams. She is not meant to replace universal supports, but she gives excellent return when your roster already wants exactly what she offers.

For players preparing Changli, Brant, or Galbrena lineups, Topuplist and the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page can make pull planning easier.
