Wuwa Lucilla Materials Pre-Farm Guide: All Ascension & Forte Materials

Knowing Lucilla's role flexibility is one thing, but maximizing Lucilla’s kit requires a total progression cost of over 2.2 million Shell Credits and weeks of planning - including a massive 2.03 million investment dedicated to her Fortes alone. Fortunately, Lucilla materials drop from the Rinascita, meaning you can start stockpiling right now if you have access to the area. Here is the complete breakdown of Lucilla Ascension and Forte materials, along with the most efficient Waveplate farming routes to get her battle-ready instantly.

Note: Since weapon choices vary, this guide focuses strictly on Lucilla’s ascension and forte materials.

Lucilla Ascension Materials Requirements by Phase

Every Resonator in Wuthering Waves requires the same total quantities per ascension rank. Lucilla follows this universal pattern, using Mech Core drops from Lahai-Roi Tacet Discords, a world boss material, and a regional overworld collectible. Here's the full breakdown by phase:

Total Shell Credits for full ascension: 170,000. The world boss material totals 46 pieces, and you'll need 60 of the regional specialty. These numbers are consistent across all Resonators, so if you've farmed wuwa cartethyia mats or phrolova mats before, the structure is identical - only the specific item names change.

Lucilla Forte Talent Materials Breakdown

Forte materials are where the real resin investment lives. Leveling all five main nodes (Normal Attack, Resonance Skill, Resonance Liberation, Intro Skill, Outro Skill) to Level 10 requires Forgery Challenge drops, additional Mech Cores, a weekly boss material, and a massive 1,400,000 Shell Credits for main nodes alone. Add stat bonuses and inherent skills, and the total climbs to roughly 2,030,000 Shell Credits.

Players who recently farmed augusta mats wuwa or wuthering waves phrolova materials will recognize the String material line - Lucilla uses the same Rectifier-type Forgery drops from the Lesson in Sunset domain in Lahai-Roi. This is a huge efficiency win because the domain also drops Mech Cores as secondary rewards, letting you double-dip on two material categories simultaneously.

Efficient Materials Farming Routes and Boss Priorities

Prioritize your Waveplates in this order for maximum efficiency:

The weekly boss material is your true bottleneck. Everything else can be speed-farmed in a few dedicated sessions, but weekly lockouts mean you need to start those clears immediately - even before Lucilla's banner drops. Early Access through the Guidebook's Weekly Challenge tab can help if the fight unlocks before her release.

With materials secured, the next decision is which Forte nodes deserve those resources first - and that answer changes dramatically depending on which of Lucilla's three roles you're building toward.

Lucilla Forte Priority : How to Efficiently Use Your Materials

Forte materials are expensive. Spreading them evenly across all five nodes wastes resources on multipliers that barely contribute to your actual rotation damage. Unlike characters with a single dominant skill - think the wuwa phoebe kit funneling everything into Resonance Liberation or the cantarella wuwa kit leaning heavily on Normal Attacks - Lucilla's optimal Forte order depends entirely on which role she fills in your team.

Forte Priority for Glacio Chafe Sub-DPS

In this role, Lucilla's job is to apply Chafe stacks quickly, shred Glacio RES, and exit with her Outro buff active. Her Resonance Skill carries the highest per-hit Chafe application rate and scales the Snow Rust damage ticks that persist after she swaps out. The Outro Skill node directly increases the Glacio Chafe DMG Deepen percentage applied to enemies.

Forte Priority for Echo Mode and Main DPS

Echo Mode burst flips the priority. Here, Lucilla's Resonance Liberation triggers the mode switch and her Intro Skill gains enhanced multipliers from Zoom stacks. For Main DPS carry, you need balanced investment because her Reminiscence state chains Normal Attacks into Skill follow-ups continuously.

This role-dependent approach mirrors how the wuwa augusta kit and wuwa mornye kit each demand different node investments despite sharing similar weapon types. The damage contribution per node isn't intuitive from reading skill descriptions alone - it only becomes clear when you map multipliers against actual rotation time spent on each action.

When to Adjust Priority Based on Resonance Chains

Forte priority shifts if you unlock Resonance Chain 2 or Chain 4. RC2 adds a secondary Chafe proc to Normal Attacks, making the Normal Attack node significantly more valuable even in Sub-DPS builds. RC4 enhances Resonance Liberation's mode-switch damage by 120%, pushing it higher in priority for all roles. Re-evaluate your Forte order after unlocking these specific chains.To unlock her full potential on day one and secure those game-changing dupes, budgeting your pulls with a secure wuwa top up ensures you won't miss out on her crucial banners.

Players familiar with how the mornye kit changes at higher dupes will recognize this pattern - certain Resonance Chains don't just add damage, they restructure which skills carry your rotation. For Lucilla, RC2 specifically blurs the line between Sub-DPS and Main DPS builds by making her Normal Attacks worth investing in regardless of role.

Conclusion

A one-size-fits-all approach won't work for her versatile kit. Spreading expensive Forte materials evenly only wastes your hard-earned Waveplates. Whether you are building her for Sub-DPS, Echo Mode, or Main DPS, always evaluate your node priorities alongside her core Resonance Chains to get the highest damage contribution per rotation. Start your pre-farming early to unlock her full potential the moment her banner drops.
