Review
Please keep in mind Wuthering Waves is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Wuthering Waves is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.
Best pick for Glacio Chafe, one of the best picks for Echo Damage, two of the strongest archetypes in the game right now - very meta pick as of her release;
Has no Energy requirements and a rotation that only requires 5 inputs, making her super easy to use and flexible;
Can focus more on personal damage or buffing depending on her role in the team, making her able to play into all possible Echo and Chafe teams as effectively as possible.
Her rotation restricts her quickswap potential by design, placing a large emphasis on animations that require her to stay actively on-field to perform or block any input (including swaps) from happening;
Common to all Rectifier characters, she has no good permanent alternatives to her Signature (Cosmic Ripples is never ideal) and due to a higher reliance on personal stats in Echo Mode, the limited alternatives become worse in that case as well;
Has the same problem as Denia, of 2 different sets for 2 different Resonance Modes, + 1 additional set for a specific team (so 3 different sets to build total to access her full flexibility), which may not be viable in terms of Echo materials for most.
Lucilla is a 5-star Glacio Rectifier Hybrid character who works as a 2nd slot buffer for Glacio Chafe and Echo Skill Damage-based teams according to her Resonance Mode. Her rotation is extremely straightforward and requires only 5 inputs to fully function in total, making her the easiest Hybrid to rotate with in terms of input count in the game, tied with Sanhua. However, to understand what makes Lucilla strong in which teams, and her meta value, a more in-depth explanation is necessary, so let’s dive into it:
Lucilla’s primary goal is to access her Ultimate, which requires no Energy, by accumulating 3 Photos to then consume them in her Ultimate stance via her Basic Attacks and becoming Princess Elsa from Disney’s Frozen (casting Letting It Go), fully restoring her Concerto Energy, deploying her buffs, and dealing a good amount of damage in the process.
These concepts sound simple, and sure enough, Lucilla is just as easy to play. Restoring 3 Photos requires performing her Intro followed by her Skill, which necessitates some timing to execute perfectly but getting a feel for that isn’t particularly complicated. Approximately a quarter of a second after holding down the Skill button, the circle that forms around Lucilla while she holds her Skill turns golden, releasing the Skill at that point will perform a perfectly timed Skill and allow Lucilla to cast her Ultimate at the end of it. Beyond that point, holding Basic Attack down will perform all necessary moves to conclude her rotation.
Now that her rotation has been covered, to understand her synergies and meta position, let’s discuss the extent of Lucilla’s buffs based on her Resonance mode.
Let’s provide a full recap of all of Lucilla’s buffs depending on each Resonance Mode:
Throughout her rotation, she either applies 25 stacks of Glacio Chafe (with another Chafe applier on the team like Hiyuki) or gives 40% Echo Skill CRIT DMG to the active character;
Casting Lucilla’s Hold Skill reduces Glacio RES by 8% or gives 25% Echo Skill DMG Bonus to all characters for 30s;
Her Outro Skill Amplifies Glacio Chafe DMG by 60% (30s, not lost on swap), or Echo Skill DMG by 50% (14s, lost on swap);
In Glacio Chafe teams, 5P Wishes of Quiet Snowfall + Glommoth will provide 37% Glacio DMG Bonus to the incoming character;
In most Echo teams, 5P Moonlit Clouds + Heron will provide 22.5% ATK and 12% General DMG Bonus to the incoming character;
In Echo Skill mode, each Photo consumed in her rotation counts as 3 different Echo Skill casts (like Qiuyuan’s Forte for example);
In the Phrolova team, Voidwing Moth will provide 12% ATK to the incoming character;
Lastly, Lucilla’s Signature provides 24% ATK to the team (standard for newer support Rectifiers).
In total, her ability to apply a huge amount of Glacio Chafe and buff the Glacio and Glacio Chafe DMG of 1 character on her team makes her very suited for Glacio Chafe hypercarry teams (a description obviously corresponding to Hiyuki), and in Echo Skill mode, she’s perfectly suited to buff damage dealers that lean fully into Echo Skill DMG on-field (a description befitting Sigrika).
Lucilla’s a very easy character to understand, whose synergies are obvious from the get-go due to the kinds of buffs that she provides. In Echo Skill teams, she’s perfectly suited to Sigrika + Shorekeeper, to buff Sigrika’s almost-exclusively Echo Skill DMG as hard as possible. Meanwhile, for Glacio Chafe teams, the only contender is Hiyuki as of her release, for whom she’s perfectly suited as well.
However, in Echo Skill mode, Lucilla does offer flexibility: wielding a 5P Moonlit Clouds Echo set, she can support not only Sigrika but also Galbrena, and using the property that she can never hold any Resonance Energy, 3P Dream of The Lost (Phrolova’s Echo set) works on her to make her even stronger damage-wise, fitting a pseudo-”Triple DPS” Phrolova Echo team.
Using these different and unique ways to build her, Lucilla can be a strong asset to a lot of accounts, being part of Hiyuki and Phrolova’s best team, and standing on equal footing with Qiuyuan for Galbrena and (most importantly) Sigrika teams, each offering their own specialties: Qiuyuan can synergize with Ciaccona for Sigrika and has a faster rotation, but Lucilla is more consistent due to her immunity during Letting It Go and offers more specialized buffs, making her better with Shorekeeper for Sigrika, but is more Signature weapon-reliant than Qiuyuan and works less effectively for Galbrena who doesn’t exclusively deal Echo Skill DMG in exchange.
In conclusion, Lucilla could very well be the Hybrid buffer you need to round out your Glacio Chafe and Echo Skill teams. While her use case with Hiyuki is obvious, and she is highly desired in that team composition, Lucilla will find a lot of use cases in a wide variety of Echo Skill teams, making her a particularly strong contender in the meta as of her release by her ease of use, buffing ability, and team composition strength.

This Glacio Chafe DPS and Support focused set provides Lucilla with the ability to buff the incoming character via Outro's Glacio DMG by 25% on top of giving Lucilla 20% Glacio DMG Bonus to use for herself, as Lucilla does not deal any Liberation DMG. Gives a good blend of self-buffing and single-target buffing, making it her overall best choice.
Below you can find Main Echo options:
100.00%
Offers 10% unconditional Energy Regen on the 2P, which is useless to Lucilla. However, upon using Outro, grants the next character switching in a 22.5% ATK boost, increasing their damage by a good amount.
Below you can find Main Echo options:
Best Echo set for Lucilla in the Phrolova team. It permanently gives her 20% CRIT Rate and 35% Echo Skill DMG Bonus, providing big boosts to the majority of her rotation. This enables her to deal significant damage to enemies while still buffing Phrolova. That is because this is a 3-piece set, meaning it can be combined with a 2-piece set effect of your choice. This set is best combined with your choice of:
Best combined with your choice of:
Reel of Spliced Memories
Moonlit Clouds
Below you can find Main Echo options:
Substats: CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK = Basic DMG%
In Echo mode, Basic DMG is almost completely useless, so prioritize ATK instead. Basic DMG is only slightly more important than ATK for Chafe mode.
All recommended endgame stats portray a fairly good quality endgame build as a goal to aim for on most characters. However, don’t treat this as an end-all-be-all, and more of a suggestion.
All stat recommendations are given at S0 for 5-stars, S6 for 4-stars, and free characters (unless specified otherwise), based on total stats in the in-game stat-screen with the character out of combat but also active in the party (and hence some buffs may or may not apply). Any other precision may be directly specified. If not specified, Energy Regen requirements are estimated in the character’s best team.
HP: 16000+
DEF: 1150+
ATK: 1900-2200b+
CRIT Rate: 65-80%+
CRIT DMG: 210-280%+
Energy Regen: 100%
Glacio DMG Bonus: 30-70%+
Below you can find the order of leveling the abilities for Lucilla.

Forte Circuit
Intro Skill
Basic Attack
Basic can be completely skipped as it is useless to Lucilla's practical rotation. Intro can be skipped when levelling to save on resources at a minimal damage loss.
Gameplay and teams
Lucilla’s gameplay is very simple, barely changing between Glacio Chafe and Echo Skill modes. It consists of generating and consuming Photos as fast as possible, and for this she only has one way of doing it that guarantees all of her buffs:
Echo Timing:
For Phrolova (Voidwing Moth) and other Echo teams (Impermanence Heron): Swap at the end of her rotation after Letting It Go before Outro.For Glacio Chafe: Summon Echo, usable at any point in the rotation.
Standard Rotation
Intro
Skill: Spotlight (Perfect Release)
Ultimate
→ Hold Basic (Heavy) at this point in the rotation.
Heavy: Basic - Forms 1
Heavy: Basic - Forms 2
Heavy: Basic - Forms 3
Letting It Go
Outro
To release Spotlight perfectly within its timing window, try releasing around a quarter of a second after the Skill has started casting. During the Skill cast, the lens that forms around Lucilla has 2 grey areas, on which the arrows that circle around the lens need to land, for the Skill to be released at the perfect timing. At that point in time, the areas’ colour changes from grey to golden - you want to release the Skill button there.
Additionally, since Lucilla’s Ultimate will not come up before Skill has fully landed, you’re free to spam Ultimate until it casts and - if on Glacio Chafe mode - you may do the same for Outro by spamming swap during Letting It Go as well.
Hiyuki - Lucilla's only partner in Glacio Chafe mode and her best partner overall, Hiyuki's perfect for Lucilla as her very high base damage paired with tons of Glacio Chafe application makes for a ton of Glacio Bite and a mix of Liberation and Basic DMG that can tear through the entire game easily.Sigrika 
Phrolova 
Galbrena - Lucilla works naturally in Echo Mode with all Echo Skill DMG dealers due to her Outro amplifying Echo Skill DMG and her ability to cast multiple Echo Skills as well as increase Echo DMG of the whole team in general. By order of viability, Sigrika's the best by far and pairs naturally with Shorekeeper, Galbrena does also but her 1/3 Heavy DMG makes her a bit worse than Qiuyuan in that role. Phrolova can pair with both Lucilla and Qiuyuan for a team with a ton of Echo Skill DMG which makes it Phrolova's new best team overall.Glacio Chafe Team
Shorekeeper and Verina can also work in the 3rd slot but will provide much less effective buffs for Hiyuki's team than Chisa.
Echo Skill Hypercarry
Phrolova Team
With Cantarella on the team, pivot Lucilla to the 3rd slot and have Cantarella Outro buff Phrolova instead.
