Lupa: The Dual-Role Specialist in Thermal Resonance System – Perfect Balance Between Damage and Support

In the world of Resonance, every Resonant is like a brilliant star, shining with unique light. Rupa, a five-star Pyro Resonant with a long blade, is one of the most dazzling among them. She is not only an outstanding supporter but also a formidable damage dealer. In a Pyro team, she acts like a brilliant conductor, using her skills and wisdom to coordinate the team’s rhythm and lead them to victory.
Rupa’s Resonance Awakening skill is her most striking feature. Her “Hunt” ability is like a hawk’s gaze, making it impossible for enemies to escape her attacks. Whenever a team member uses a guide skill, Rupa’s hunting ability grows stronger, eventually boosting damage by 18%. Her “Glory” ability is like a light on the battlefield, dispelling enemy defenses and allowing the team to ignore 3% to 9% of Pyro resistance. If there are three Pyro Resonants on the team, this light becomes even brighter, ignoring 6% of Pyro resistance.
Rupa’s Resonance Finale skill is equally impressive. She can grant the incoming Resonant a 20% Pyro damage boost and a 25% normal attack damage boost. This powerful enhancement makes her an indispensable member of any Pyro team. Her personal output capabilities are also noteworthy. By accumulating “Wolf Flame” resources through attacks, when the Wolf Flame reaches 50 points, her heavy attack and third aerial attack will unleash the powerful “Wolf Soul” ability, further enhancing her output.
In terms of skill priority, Rupa’s Resonance Circuit and Resonance Awakening skill are crucial, both requiring a five-star level. Her normal attack and Resonance skill are at four stars, while her Variation skill is at three stars. This skill arrangement allows Rupa to find a perfect balance between support and damage.
Rupa’s weapon choices are also carefully considered. Her exclusive weapon, “Flame Scar,” is the best option, offering up to 48.6% critical damage and rich damage enhancement effects. When refined to level one, this weapon also provides a 24% overall damage boost to the entire team, significantly enhancing the team’s overall output. Additionally, the effects of Flame Scar can further boost the team’s Pyro damage enhancement when the Variation skill or Resonance Awakening is used.
Among five-star alternative weapons, “Sōrin Senjō,” “Ji e Shūrin,” and “Kōkai Rinshō” are excellent choices. Each provides different damage enhancement effects, suitable for various combat styles. The four-star weapons “Monshū” and “Tōraku” can also meet Rupa’s needs to some extent, especially in terms of attack power and damage enhancement.
As for the choice of Relic sets, the “Running Wolf, Blaze of the Plains” set, introduced in version 2.4, is Rupa’s best option. This set not only enhances Rupa’s personal output but also provides powerful enhancements for the entire team. The 2-piece effect offers a 10% Pyro damage boost, while the 5-piece effect further increases Pyro damage by 15% when Resonance Awakening is used and boosts Rupa’s Resonance Awakening damage by 20%. The main Relic “Glory Lion Statue” summons a “Glory Lance,” dealing devastating Pyro damage to enemies.
For new players, a mixed set of “Running Wolf, Blaze of the Plains” and “Melting Mountain Fissure” is also a good choice. This combination provides a balance between personal damage and team support, making it easier for new players to adapt to Rupa’s playstyle.
