Lupa is a fierce Broadblade wielder in Wuthering Waves, known for her powerful Resonance Liberation and Fusion-supporting capabilities. The right weapon turns her into a reliable sub-DPS and team enabler, but not all blades are created equal. Here's what you should equip to get the most out of her.

Best Weapon

If you want Lupa to perform at her absolute best, Wildfire Mark is her undisputed best-in-slot.

• Base ATK: 587
• Sub-stat: 48.6% Crit DMG
• Effect: Increases ATK by 12%. After casting Intro or Resonance Liberation, boosts Resonance Liberation DMG by 24% for 6s. Heavy Attacks can extend the buff and also grant a 24% Fusion DMG bonus to the entire team for 30s.

This weapon enhances Lupa’s core strengths,her Resonance Liberation and teamwide Fusion synergy. The Crit DMG sub-stat supercharges her damage, while the Fusion DMG buff to all allies makes her a fantastic team asset. It’s rare to find a weapon that boosts both personal and team output effectively.

If You Don’t Have Wildfire Mark, Here’s What to Look For

If Wildfire Mark isn’t in your arsenal, don’t worry, there are several other strong options. When picking a replacement, prioritize:

• Crit Stats (Crit Rate or Crit DMG)
• ATK% scaling
• Resonance Energy or Liberation enhancements
• Team utility or Fusion-related effects

Here are the best alternatives:

Ages of Harvest (5★, Jinhsi's Signature)

• Sub-stat: 24.3% Crit Rate
• Effect: Grants 12% Attribute DMG Bonus. Casting Intro and Resonance Skills boosts Resonance Skill DMG by 24% for 12s.

A strong option for boosting Lupa’s Resonance Skill damage. While it lacks Fusion or Liberation synergy, the raw Crit Rate and Attribute bonuses are solid for any offensive build.

Verdant Summit (5★)

• Sub-stat: 48.6% Crit DMG
• Effect: Increases Resonance DMG by 12%, and buffs Heavy Attack DMG after Intro or Liberation.

Great for Lupa’s damage output, especially in crit-heavy builds. Very close to Wildfire Mark in terms of raw numbers, though it lacks team buffs.

Autumntrace (4★ Battle Pass)

• Sub-stat: 20.2% Crit Rate
• Effect: Stacking ATK% boost when landing Basic/Heavy attacks.

Excellent for consistent DPS, especially at R5. Arguably the best 4-star weapon for Lupa.

Lustrous Razor (5★ Standard)

• Sub-stat: 36.4% ATK%
• Effect: Boosts Energy Regen and Resonance Liberation DMG.

Balanced stats and good synergy with her Liberation uptime, but not as explosive as the crit-focused options.

Waning Redshift (4★)

• Sub-stat: 18.2% ATK%
• Effect: Gives Resonance Energy and ATK buff when using Resonance Skill.

A decent early-game option, but it falls off compared to others as you progress.

How These Weapons Compare

Verdant Summit and Ages of Harvest are the next-best options if you’re purely focused on damage. Autumntrace, while a 4-star, punches above its weight and is excellent value. Lustrous Razor offers a good middle ground. Discord and Waning Redshift should only be used if you’re short on options or prioritizing team energy rotations.

If you want Lupa to thrive in your Wuthering Waves roster, Wildfire Mark is the best weapon so far. It enhances her Liberation, fuels her Fusion-support playstyle, and adds substantial Crit DMG. Don’t have it? Look for weapons that provide Crit Rate/DMG, boost ATK%, or improve her Energy rotation: Verdant Summit and Autumntrace are fantastic fallback choices.

No matter what you equip her with, make sure you lean into Lupa’s natural rhythm: high-damage bursts, Fusion support, and aggressive skill rotations. Build her right, and she’ll carry your team through the most intense Resonance battles.
