Yo, fellow Resonators! Let me tell you about my obsession with Lupa – that absolute legend we first met in Septimont during the Rinascita quest. When she sliced through Fractsidus goons like butter while casually sipping a drink? Instant main character energy! 🐺🔥 Now that she's officially playable in Version 2.4, I've spent weeks grinding to perfect her build, and holy moly – this wolf queen low-key redefines what support characters can do! Her kit's got more layers than an onion though, so buckle up while I break down everything from weapons to team rotations. Trust me, once you see her buffing potential, you'll be simping harder than I did!

⚔️ Lupa's Weapon Choices: More Than Just Pointy Sticks

Honestly, Broadblade options feel kinda scarce right now – like trying to find decent pizza in a food desert. But let's talk about Wildfire Mark, her signature weapon that basically becomes an extension of her personality: aggressive yet elegant. I mean, just look at this beauty!

That Crit DMG boost isn't just numbers – it's like giving her claws extra sharpness! But the real magic? When her Liberation drops, the whole squad gets 24% Fusion DMG. It's literally a party in blade form. No cap, when I first triggered this mid-boss fight, my Changli went from slapping to vaporizing enemies!

Weapon	Rarity	Why It Slaps
	★★★★★	Crit DMG + team Fusion DMG buffs – her soulmate weapon
	★★★★★	Energy Regen + Liberation DMG for ult spamming
	★★★★☆	Crit Rate life-saver for artifact-challenged folks like me
	★★★★☆	Ultimate energy generator – makes rotations buttery smooth

If you're F2P like I was last month, Helios Cleaver's gradual ATK stacking feels like watching a slow-cook meal – satisfying but makes you impatient. Autumntrace though? That Crit Rate is a godsend when RNGesus hates your artifact rolls!

🔥 Echo Setup: Turning Lupa into a Buff Goddess

Okay, real talk – building her echoes had me sweating more than a noob in Dark Souls. Flaming Clawprint isn't just meta; it's her spiritual animal! That Liberation DMG boost transforms her from "nice support" to "holy-crap-my-DPS-just-tripled" territory. Farming this set? Absolute pain. But seeing Lioness of Glory pop off? Chef's kiss!

Moonlit Clouds is the training wheels option – decent but makes you feel like you're driving a Ferrari in first gear. Still, Impermanence Heron's energy refund is clutch when you mess up rotations (we've all been there!).

Stat priority is non-negotiable:

• ⚡ Cost 4: Crit Rate > Crit DMG (unless Autumntrace carries you)

• 🔥 Cost 3: Fusion DMG > Energy Regen

• 💪 Cost 1: ATK% all day!

• 🎯 Subs: Crit stats > ATK% > Energy > Liberation DMG

That Fusion DMG bonus? It's not just stats – it's like Lupa whispering "go get 'em tiger" to your DPS!

🐺📈 Team Synergy: Where the Magic Happens

Let's address the elephant in the room – Lupa demands triple Fusion teams like a diva demands green M&Ms. Run anything else and... well, it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. My premium squad? Lupa + Brant + Changli. When their Outro buffs chain? chef's kiss

Rotation breakdown:

1️⃣ Start with Lupa: Liberation → Skill → basic attacks until wolf icons appear

2️⃣ Swap to Brant via Outro: Unload everything!

3️⃣ Changli enters: Forte combo → Liberation → Heavy Attack carnage!

F2P option with Baizhi/Encore works but feels like drinking store-brand soda – gets the job done without the fizz. Shorekeeper teams? Decent but loses that delicious 15% Fusion RES shred from Glory.

🧠 Kit Deep Dive: Simplicity in Complexity

At first glance, her Wolflame/Wolfaith mechanics seem like calculus homework. But in practice? Pure poetry! Here's the vibe:

• Gather Wolflame → convert to Wolfaith (those wolf icons)

• Pop Liberation for Pack Hunt (+16% ATK/+20% Fusion DMG with triple Fusion squad)

• Glory passive ignores 15% enemy Fusion RES – makes enemies feel like paper

• Burning Matchpoint after Skill? Forte charges faster than my phone on ultracharge!

That moment when you trigger her Enhanced Skill? hnnng – the damage numbers bloom like radioactive flowers!

💫 Trace Priority & Future Dreams

Trace upgrading is refreshingly straightforward:

1. Resonance Liberation (her buffet platter)

2. Forte Circuit (wolf summoning central)

3. Normal Attack/Intro Skill (nice but not critical)

4. Resonance Skill (just level it enough not to be embarrassing)

Personal wishlist though? I'm praying Kuro Games tweaks her energy requirements in 2.5. Having her ult ready faster would make rotations buttery smooth! And maybe – just maybe – more Broadblade options? A guy can dream...

Final thoughts? Lupa's that rare unit who makes supporting feel badass. When she howls during her ultimate and your whole squad gets juiced? Chills. Actual chills. She's not just meta – she's the party animal your team never knew they needed! 🐺✨
