Image via Kuro Games Lupa is more than just a buffer in Wuthering Waves; she's a tactical powerhouse who boosts her team and then slashes through enemies with fiery flair. If you've pulled Lupa (lucky you!), don't sleep on her potential. Here's your go-to guide to building Lupa for max buffs, solid damage, and all-around combat domination. Best Weapon Picks for Lupa Let's talk tools. Lupa's performance depends heavily on ATK% and Fusion-oriented stat boosts. You'll want weapons that amplify her buffing potential without nerfing her own damage output. Wildfire Mark (5 stars) – Her signature weapon. Big Fusion DMG boosts for the whole team. No-brainer. Verdant Summit (5 stars) – If you want her Heavy Attacks to slap harder than your internet bill, this is the one. Ages of Harvest / Lustrous Razor (5 stars) – Solid alternatives if you haven't pulled her BIS. Discord (4 stars) – Great for Energy regen and quick swaps. Keep the team rotation tight. Waning Redshift (4 stars) – ATK boost + Energy gain? That's a W for Lupa mains on a budget. BROKEN Fusion Carry? She Might Be TOO Good | Lupa Guide, Best Teams, Echoes & More | Wuthering Waves Best Echo Sets for Lupa in Wuthering Waves Lupa doesn't just need any Echo set—she needs synergy.

Not as flashy, but still super viable for support-focused gameplay. Best Main Echo for Lupa in Wuthering Waves Lioness of Glory – Boosts her Liberation skills and Fusion damage. Top-tier. Impermanence Heron – If you're prioritizing utility and team boosts, this one slaps too. GET READY!!!

Anderson brings Nina Christen on board as Dior shoe designer
British designer Jonathan Anderson continues to build his team at Dior and his latest appointment in Nina Christen who previously worked with him at Loewe. The highly respected footwear designer was the creative force behind behind the viral Loewe Balloon pumps so we could be in line for the kind of buzz around Dior's shoe designs similar to what was seen with its J'Adior slingbacks and Fusion sneakers. The designer also has her own Christen label and has worked for fashion brands including The Row, Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta. As mentioned, she was head of footwear design at Loewe with a style that perfectly suited Anderson's eccentric vision. But as the variety of labels she's worked on shows she's versatile and can adapt her style to a brand's particular profile. The key theme running throughout though is that her shoes stand out and frequently become cult classics — her much-copied Chelsea Boots during Hedi Slimane 's tenure at Saint Laurent are a prime example, as are Bottega Veneta's Puddle Boots and the less divisive Lido Sandals. Christen, who launched her own eponymous label late last year, stepped into her new Dior role this month, so we may not see any significant Christen-helmed designs until next year. There's been no official announcement of her appointment but on Instagram the Zurich-based designer said: 'Incredibly excited to support Jonathan Anderson in this new chapter at Dior.'

NEW KEYLOOP ‘SERVICE HUB' TRANSFORMS MIDDLE EAST'S HIGH-VOLUME WORKSHOPS, BOOSTING AFTERSALES VALUE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Dubai, UAE, 25 June 2025. Keyloop has launched Service Hub, a major new cloud native, web-based solution that helps dealers manage internal and customer-facing stages in the aftersales journey, from booking to check-out. Pilot implementations of Service Hub have shown it increases order value, improves efficiency and drives customer satisfaction. The primary tools within Service Hub fall under four main categories: Customer experience and efficiency – includes Online Service Booking; Online and In-store Check-In; Booking Management; and On-the-Day Management. – includes Online Service Booking; Online and In-store Check-In; Booking Management; and On-the-Day Management. Technician tools – includes digitised Clocking for accurate time recording, as well as reporting on productivity; and Inspections for identifying, logging and reporting on additional work. – includes digitised Clocking for accurate time recording, as well as reporting on productivity; and Inspections for identifying, logging and reporting on additional work. Workshop management – to allocate and control all workshop jobs, helping to maximise productivity, utilisation and efficiency. – to allocate and control all workshop jobs, helping to maximise productivity, utilisation and efficiency. Aftersales consumer engagement – to manage all aftersales-related communication and engagement via customers' preferred channels, aiding approvals and upsell through personalised messaging and prompts for the service department. Service Hub sits within the 'Ownership' domain of Fusion, Keyloop's new Automotive Retail Platform (ARP), which optimises the entire vehicle sales process – from consumer enquiry through to ownership and retention. All of the tools in Service Hub draw upon information held in Fusion's Active Data Core, which provides a single comprehensive record of customer interactions and transactions, as well as the live status of any aftersales service contracts. Pilot implementations show marked operational improvements Keyloop has partnered with a panel of UK motor retailers to pilot the new Service Hub technology. Over a two-month period, these implementations delivered marked improvements against a range of aftersales performance criteria. For example, it enabled much greater convenience for customers, achieving 45% of online bookings being booked outside typical working hours. Service Hub test sites also saw overall transaction value rise, with 20% of customers that checked-in online going on to take upsell items. Meanwhile, service departments found that customer queries were resolved up to 4x faster via Service Hub, there was a 50% reduction in the volume of outbound pre-visit customer calls required, a three-minute saving per repair order at the Beta dealerships, while cutting the 'idle time' per technician by up to 45 minutes per day. One of the sites that piloted Service Hub is Busseys, an independently owned, family-run dealer group with five sites across Norfolk representing Ford, INEOS Automotive, Peugeot and BYD. Paul Bussey, CEO at Busseys, comments: 'I have no hesitation in recommending Service Hub to any dealer or franchise as a massive step forward in functionality compared with anything that's out there at the moment.' Adrian Nash, Chief Product Officer at Keyloop, adds: 'We've listened to a wide range of aftersales personnel in motor retail businesses large and small to identify their most pressing challenges. Many grapple with a fragmented view of the customer, and suffer from laborious and error-prone record keeping, time-consuming management of bookings, and inefficiencies that flow from manual clocking. 'Service Hub tackles all of these issues and helps workshops and their service colleagues achieve new levels of operational efficiency and productivity, while also driving conversions, transaction values and retention. For the customer, Service Hub makes it much easier for them to complete a booking at a time that best suits them, and then have a far more streamlined, personalised and convenient experience. This launch helps unify the aftersales experience for all parties and marks another milestone in the roll-out of Fusion.' As mentioned, the new Service Hub solution sits within the 'Ownership' domain of the Fusion ARP, while the industry-leading Keyloop dealer management system (DMS) is a critical element in the 'Operate' domain. The remaining two domains are 'Demand' and 'Supply'. Full details of Fusion can be found here. Keyloop recently invited their Service Hub pilot customers to a launch event day held at their global HQ, click here to watch a highlight video.
