With Wuthering Waves’ 1st anniversary approaching, new characters like Zani and Ciacona are on the way. But many players are just as excited for story characters like Lupa—the main antagonist of a recent chapter—who is expected to become playable soon.
Lupa has been teased since the 2.2 update, and early leaks suggest she’ll bring powerful tools to Fusion teams. In this guide, we’ll break down everything leaked about Lupa—her skills, playstyle, potential teammates, and what you can prepare now to get the most out of her when she drops.

What we cover:
Please do note that since this information is from trusted leaked sources, the contents are only tentative and are subject to change in the official release of the game once the character is out. So players should take this information with a grain of salt.
Lupa Basic Information
Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Fusion | Weapon: Broadblade
Lupa is a character that has yet to fully appear in the main story in Wuthering Waves and is only mentioned briefly by certain characters in cutscenes and dialogue. However, this doesn’t make her any less anticipated by players that have seen teasers of her from certain leaked sources.
According to the leaks we have of Lupa, she will be a 5-star Limited Resonator of the Fusion Element that appears to wield a flag pole or a polearm as her main weapon of choice. Due to how strange this weapon type for Lupa is, it is currently impossible to determine what her weapon type is. However, it is highly unlikely that she will wield the weapon as a type of Broadblade type weapon due to Jiyan's similar concept with his spear.
Lupa Release Date
Following a strict release schedule, Lupa should be having her limited time release during phase 2 of the version 2.4 banner - expected to go live in early July.

Lupa Potential Teammates & Team Synergy
As Lupa is a strong DPS character that relies heavily on Resonance Liberation Damage and HP consumption / recovery to boost her overall damage output by massive amounts, pairing her up with characters that boost Fusion attack damage as well as benefiting from normal attack boosts themselves will be a really good idea. Additionally, bringing a good shielder or healer will be crucial for a Lupa team, as she might be too frail otherwise. The best teammates for Lupa are:
Changli
Changli is an excellent choice as a sub DPS/ damage buffer for Lupa as not only does she share the same Fusion element as Lupa, she is also a Normal attack centric character with a outro skill that massively boost the Fusion attack damage of other allies, making her to perfect candidate to help boost Lupa’s damage while also increase her own damage output
Brant
The final piece in a Fusion quick swap team with Changli and Lupa, Brant is an extremely crucial teammate that players can consider for a Lupa Fusion centric team. With his strong buffing capability and healing potential, Brant can quickly heal up the team for Lupa to survive, buff the entire team with his abilities then quickly switch out with other teammates to grant them a massive 25% Fusion damage boost, maximizing Lupa’s damage potential even more.
What Should You Prepare for Lupa
Pre-Farm Materials & Echo Sets
Now, players will have the chance to pre-farm a large number of Lupa’s materials and echo sets to prepare the best build for her after her banner drops.
You can also pre-farm several sets of Echoes for Lupa in order to be able to apply the set effects and boost her stats immediately upon her release. As a Fusion Resonator that deals strong damage using her attacks and scales off Max HP instead of Attack stat, players should focus on getting Echoes with HP% as the main stats, as well as various critical stats like Critical Rate and Critical Damage.
Save Your Limited & Weapon Pulls
Of course to prepare to get Lupa during her banner in the First Half of Wuthering Waves Update Patch 2.4, players should start saving their limited character pulls in order to roll for her. As Lupa is a Limited 5* character, players will only be able to roll for her while her limited banner is up and running, so you should not miss this opportunity to obtain her as Lupa will be extremely essential for a Fusion centric elemental team.
In addition, players should also save weapon pulls for her signature weapon as well, as the signature weapon for Lupa will not only provide her with a massive critical rate boost, it also boost her overall damage by a massive amount due to its Resonance Liberation Damage boosting effects.
