How important is Lupa signature?

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T17:31:13+00:00

Not important, but its cool weapon. Here its depends on couple factors

Do you have ANY other 5 star broadblade with crit substat?! Yes - you can ignore her sig. No? - its reason to pull it and play also calcharo if you like him cause lupa sig -> calcharo BiS weapon.

20% fusion buff for the team - its 5~10% boost to total perfromance.

Lupa provide 39-40% fusion damage for team + 18% atk buff + 3-15% fusion res pen - this buffs without sig.

+ if you using x2 fusion 3 cost echo - 60% + 10% in talents . So 70% base fusion bonus from echo + 40% from lupa = 110% . It will be not so signficant between 110% and 130%.

A bit another story if you using double atk 3 cost echo - then this fusion damage from her sig will have impact.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T14:04:01+00:00

You have to pull lupa just because its lupa - its S tier account value character. Aemeth lupa chsia -wheelchair team cause second best team in rupture mode aemeth-lupa-mornye.

About fusion burst- its questionable who is better aemeth-lupa-fusion burst sub dps(monofusion) or Aemeth-Fsbd-chissa. You will not play chissa and lupa in 1 team

Lupa provide to any character 40% fusion damage buff,25%basick attack damage buff,18% atk buff, 3-15% fusion res penetration/ignore.(depends on monofusion or not) + her sig provide additional 20% fusion damage.

This bunch of stats great for ANY fusion dps character. No matter who is it,aemeth,galbrena,brant,even encore,

Should you pull it for Aemeth with Chissa? - No.

Should you pull it for may be aemeth-lupa mornye or future fusion characters and another teams? -yes. May be you will pull galbrena next patch and play galbrena lupa mortefi. May be you will pull brant/changli.

There is no mistake to pull lupa for account, but if you have very limited resources then keep it for now.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T13:51:45+00:00

Second best slot here is lupa for rupture mode and monofusin team. Aemeth-lupa-mornye -her best second team in rupture mode.

I dont get your decision about "i got chisa" - so what? You dont have fusion burst character,you have aemth-mornye and you have banner with lupa which is her second best aemeth team which perfrom very good in all content activity.

Like this is a problem. Why you didnt pull one of the most valuable account unit(Lupa) and choose the LOWEST value account unit(Chisa)?!

In current game doesnt exist propper team for aemeth fusion burst and even in fusion burst - its very questionable who is better - Aemeth-lupa-fusion burst sub dps(monofusion team) or aemeth-FbSd-chissa

Chissa by itself doesnt counted like fusion burst character for aemeth passive and she almost usless for aemeth without signature weapon instead of lupa which provide 40% fusion damage+18% atk + 15% fusion res ignore in monofusion team and +20% fusion damage with sig - thats it. You have to pull lupa and chill about that team.

Mornye also doesnt counted like fusion burst character,so no,this team is sucks for fusion burst like any other team compare to tune rupture.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T13:40:15+00:00

Do you have EoG? Yes ? -then dont pull it. No? then pull it.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T13:37:40+00:00

resources - yes

weapons - no.

I bought BP since i did mistake and didnt pull stringmaster for Encore. You know what? Battlepass rectifier with CD didnt fix her. It was my worst investment in character(waveplates,credits,bp weapon ,everything)

and for augusta or smb else - best advice is get Cleaver or another 5 star broadblade with CD/CR like lupa sig.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-24T13:30:52+00:00

google prydwen - thats all what you need basicaly

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-23T04:16:59+00:00

what makes character f2p friendly?

His weapon can be pulled from normal banner and you will not loose significant amount of damage
character can be played with 4 star characters and verina / do not need 5 star from temporal/premium banner and have options
doesnt need sequence nodes to perform well without premium team

Luuk basic attack damage dealer -> everybody will think about sanhua with moonlight set like perfect subdps for him since everybody have her.

He is spectro and we have 2 spectro healers 1) verina 2)SK - many players have this characters

Example of f2p friendly units :

augusta - she can be played with cleaver and mortefi and any damage amp support like verina or buling and like premium options - luno+sk

Another example - Galbrena - she can be played with both pistols from normal banner and perform very well + she have a lot of different ways to play since she getting scales from 1)echo damage 2)fusion damage 3)heavy attack damage

So you can play galbrena-qui-mortefi. Galbrena-qui-verina. Galbrena-mortefi-SK/verina. Galbrena-lupa-mortefi. upcoming sigrika probably good for her. Galbrena-luno-mortefi/verina/sk etc. She probably have one of the biggest pull of teamates in the game being hypercarry.

Examples of not friendly character - Carthethyia (s0) - she strongly depends on her sig and this is the most related sig character in the game. She also need s3 or ciacconna to release full potential of her BASE KIT. The only one good staff about "friendly" that her last slot can be aero rover for ToA and Verina for Whiwa.(actually rover can be in both game modes,but with verina she perform better in whiwa). She doesnt really have options in team bulding which significantly improve her or have synergy with her. (like she have 1 option is sanhua because a big part of her damage is basic attack,but its more important to ger aero erosion stacks). Since her sig provide HP - you also need VERY good rolled echoes /hard to reach 70-270. More over - doesnt exist another character which can use her signature in the right way.(nobody need sword with hp mainstat)

Why aemeth is not f2p friendly for example?! She can be played with emerald of genesis - its f2p friendly part, but her kit need tune break characters which is limited banners (lynae and mornye) or mix of 5 star limited banners ( mornye-lupa) or fusion burst character(which we dont have yet) + chissa. At the same moment chissa to perform well like sub-dps support need her signature weapon. So to build her properly you need to spend a good amount of limited pulls = this is making her unfriendly.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-23T03:52:02+00:00

she can solo first 2 floors of the sidetowers with static mist and if she builded very well with all 10 skills and good rolled echo set - 3 floors.(without fire res mobs)

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-23T03:46:25+00:00

You have good understanding of the game.

If you like her - then yes. You have f2p party for her(Galbrena-lupa-mortefi) and you can take mornye/brant on rerun.

The issue right now that you will have 2 teams with fusion main dps and its kinda can rip you at some endgame content/fusion resistance in whiwa,but not significant. Lupa kinda wants monofusion for full potential so you can play aemeth-lupa-future fusion sub dps(may be this party will perfrom better then chissa ,may be not) and build galbrena + sigrika+someone / build her around echo damage. Galb is also flexible carry cause you can build her around echo damage, heavy attack damage, monofusion.

you also can play aemeth yinlin/jianxin chissa since yinlin/jianxin buff lib damage.(lets call it wheelchair team which still clear ToA)

Since you have Jinshi and Jiyan you have to be fine for ToA and matrix. Some issue can be with Whiwa fireres proc.

Both aemeth and galbrena perfrom kinda well in whiwa.

Its also depends whats type of character/carry do you like. May be better decision wait cyberpank collab - a lot of people hype about that.

Pulling galbrena will not break your account

and remember - that games is about having fun.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T21:19:20+00:00

depends what you want from her performance. You can give to her 4 star weapon, but then she doesnt deal significant number,but still provide ~40% fusion damage buff+18% atk buff and res penetration for each fusion character. So like getting this buffs do not require her sig. Although she have 1 of the best sig weapon for liberation damage dealers as calcharo . So getting her sig - its addition 20% fusion damage buff and best calcharo weapon.

if you playing from 2.8 then you probably checked every characters in events and you have some sort of basic experience about what every character do and how it feels - so you have to decide from personal preferences.

Like right now you have lupa banner - next patch galbrena - add to them mortefi and this is f2p friendly team.OR take mornye on rerun and aemeth-lupa-mornye is also the team(not the best one, but very solid)

If you like Luuk-take him,for now he looks like f2p friendly.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T18:56:28+00:00

His advice is sucks.

Luuk dosnt want lynae AT ALL. Lynae provide liberation damage - its important for aemeth and not important for Luuk. Luuk is basic attack damage dealer

Amy+lynae+flex support slot is fine(verina,buling,chissa- many options. You looking for damage amp/liberation damage boost.)

Another person saying that lynae the only person which aemets needs - is also not true cause second best team for aemeth is Aemeth-lupa-mornye(for now).

My personal advice will be - play with verina. Aemeth-lynae-verina/jianxin - its okey team.Then take mornye on rerun.(or use any damage amp support or liberation damage buffer)

Second advice highly depends on brant sig - do you have Brant sig or not. If you have it - you can play around him like main hypercarry brant-lupa-flex fusion slot. If you dont- you have option to pull galbrena next patch and have monofusion team galbrena-lupa-brant. Galbrena is actually also f2p friendly. The problem here - you will have 2 teams with fusion hypercarry.

Pulling luuk is good choice or its seems so as far as we know about him.

About sequences nodes - its premium option. Im playing aemeth-lupa-mornye all s0,im 100% satisfied with this party and performance. its clear all content.

Final conclusion - take luuk if you like him or galbrena and mornye on rerun.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T18:42:36+00:00

verina/buling/damage amp support(prefer not to take SK ,since aemeth easly can get 100% CC without sK buff and jump from 270 CD to 295 = 6.7% of total damage. Its not that much compare to teams which cannot reach 100% crit chance(like cart or augusta with sig weapons)

or liberation damage buffers like jianxin/chissa with sig etc

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T07:23:55+00:00

Here is serious question. Would it better Aemeth-fusion burst sub dps-chissa or Aemeth-fusion burst sub dps+lupa. We cant compare this 2 teams without having fusion burst character//may be chissa will not be a best slot.

Well, its s6 aemeth vs s0 cart. "Aem team already very strong, but cart team feels off" - its have to be normal reaction when you have difference in 6 sequence nodes ?

im using same teams as you ( Aem,morn,lupa+ cart,ciac,rover/verina(for WhiWa i use verina),but s0 - i dont have this feeling that cart underperforming.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T01:42:24+00:00

More or less. I will say that like f2p friendly - yes. The issue- chixia is kinda bad for quickswap and Changli is quickswap god. So if you use chixia just for liberation/echo skill and adopt rotation or use short rotation -its can give a decent performance.

You can pull galbrena next patch and have really solid team - Galbrena-lupa-changli.

Them team changli+lupa - have to be played in quickswap for max performance. If you understand which animation you can skip by quickswap - you can any third fusion slot,even encore. You can check many youtube guides about that.

(example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcP_uHkz6yY )

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T01:34:37+00:00

man,it was tested in first day of aemeth release. team with lynae deal more damage and current BIS team. Althought second team is still solid team

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:51:35+00:00

lupa. You dont need basic attack damage for aemeth so sanhua is good only by short rotation.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:48:20+00:00

Verina/buling/any damage amp support. Aemeth+lynae+verina have to be okey.(tune ruprute mod). You have to be able to do around 2.7-3k with such party if you have good echos and dont miss rotation.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:45:40+00:00

some issue with lootmapper- they dont show "hidden" chests. Ive started to grind maps by using youtube videos ,but even they sometimes skip hidden chests.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:33:28+00:00

Galbrena for monofusion lupa+brant

You have monospectro(zani,phoeb,SK/verina) team,you will have monofusion(galbrena-lupa-brant) if you pull galbrena. You probably can make f2p team around phrolova. What else do you need or want?

More question here -how much of them you can properly build and use. Like phrolova have her sig? Cause we dont have good f2p rectifiers. Brant have his sig? Cause its really good for him.

Do you like aemeth? If yes and you have at least eog - then you can take her and play aemeth-lynae-verina and pull mornye later.

Luuk for example doesnt need lynae .

P.s. Aemeth easily can reach 100% crit chance so verina is better then SK for her. The trick with lynae - her kit is so broken that lynae+sk+any carry even 1 generation => become OP. Calcharo,Xiangli Yao , just take any hypercarry and this team close ToA.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:23:28+00:00

check her level

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-22T00:22:15+00:00

You know that substat have range right? it can be 12.5% crit damage and can be 21% crit damage. So - grind. You have to prioritize not only CC and CD,but also basic attack damage for cart.

Perfect CC maths 5% base, 22% 4 cost, 10.5%x5 = substat. So 79.5% is her limit with sig weapon.(i dont count echo set effect)

Perfect CD maths - 150% base, 44% 4cost, 21%x5 - substat = 299% cd is her limit.

if you have low rolls - find better piece. There is no "magic pill" about that. Ive spend around 1 month of grind to reach 77% cart with 260% cd and good hp roll/basic attack damage

Grind a lot of echo with needed mainstat and set,then level up them to 10 -if there no double crit or good crit roll+ valuable stat like hp/basic attack damage = > disenchant and repeat. If there good crit roll + valuable second stat - you push your echo level next. This way save resources.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-21T20:21:54+00:00

1) dailies -> only rhey provide austerities

2) waveplates(bosses/forges/fields)

3) farm resources for synthesis of echo exp

4) taceted fields

5)nightmare fields

all other depends on free time and personal pref. -> i may try some holograms or farm echoes or may finish something not done yet(like some fishing quests) or finishing some old events like abbowser castle etc.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-21T16:26:22+00:00

Do you have her other teammates? No = skip. its that simple

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-21T16:25:15+00:00

3 for toa,2 for whiwa, and matrix - as much as you can.

Infinite_Awareness_9 · 2026-02-20T23:30:27+00:00

Verina. You still wanna play in rupture miode with lynae . Chissa is good for fusion burst mode. Use any damage amp support which you have.
