Night City’s most beloved netrunner just hacked her way into Solaris. 5Lucyna Kushinada, known simply as Lucy, arrives as Wuthering Waves’ first 5-Star Spectro Pistol Main DPS — and as a collab-limited character, the pressure to pull is real.

But here’s the big question every Rover is asking: How many copies of Lucy do you actually need? Her Resonance Chain (Sequences) can dramatically change her performance — and this guide breaks down every single one so you can spend your Astrite wisely.

Who Is Lucy in Wuthering Waves?

2 Lucy, originally named Lucyna Kushinada, is one of the most beloved characters from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and a top-tier Netrunner for the crew. 2 As a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover character, Lucy stands out as Wuthering Waves’ first 5-star character built entirely around hacker mechanics. 3 Lucy is a Spectro Pistols resonator who functions as a Main DPS, specializing in Heavy Attack and Tune Hack-Shifting DMG. Her gameplay revolves around cycling between her base state and Algorithm Compaction to build up and unleash a series of enhanced attacks.

Lucy’s Complete Resonance Chain — All 6 Sequences Explained

5 Lucy’s Resonance Chain sequences are not just numerical boosts — they deeply intertwine with the game’s lore and her tragic anime backstory. Here’s what each Sequence does:

SequenceNameEffect Summary
S1The Moon, a Ticket, and a Longing GlanceAdds interruption resistance + debuff spread to nearby targets
S2The Blackwall, the Past, and the EscapeIncreased initial RAM capacity + significantly higher multipliers
S3CyberpunkIncreased Resonance Liberation multipliers, Crit Rate, and Crit DMG
S4No Living Legends in Night CityTeam-wide damage buff
S5A Short Circuit to HellIncreased survivability
S6I Really Want to Stay at Your HouseMassively increased damage + extended stasis duration

5 The name of S6 — “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” — references the iconic song from the anime, a heart-wrenching phrase tied to her deep relationship with David Martinez.

Best Stopping Points — S0, S1, S2, or S6?

Not everyone can afford to max out a limited collab character. Here’s a breakdown:

SequenceVerdictWho Should Stop Here?
S0Fully functionalF2P and low-spenders
S1Excellent QoL upgradeRecommended first investment
S2Strong rotational boostBest value mid-investment
S3Big burst upgradeCompetitive players
S6Ridiculous scalingWhales only

2 Her first two sequences (RC1 & RC2) are excellent quality-of-life and rotational upgrades. High-spenders will look towards RC6 for ridiculous damage scaling. As an F2P or low-spender, she is entirely functional at RC0.

S1 — The Moon, a Ticket, and a Longing Glance

8 Lucy has a free best-in-slot buffer and can use multiple generalist Supports to great effect. S1 increases her Whimpering Wastes potential substantially, plus S2-S3 can increase her longevity across all game modes by a lot.

S2 — The Blackwall, the Past, and the Escape

9 At S2, Lucy can activate all of the Spoofing Programs available in her Resonance Liberation, providing extra utility for the team. Additionally, casting her Resonance Skill – Pulse Interference applies all Spoofing Program effects to nearby targets.

Why Lucy’s Resonance Liberation Is Game-Changing

3 Lucy’s Resonance Liberation opens the Protocol Interface, where she spends RAM to apply Spoofing Program effects that mark, debuff, and nuke enemies before unleashing Override.

There are 7 Spoofing Programs to choose from, each costing RAM:

Spoofing ProgramRAM CostEffect
Prosthetic Malfunction4 RAMTarget takes increased DMG
Firewall Breach4 RAMReduces target’s ATK & DEF by 5%
Synaptic Melt5 RAMDeals Heavy Attack Spectro DMG
Locomotor Disablement6 RAMDeals Hack DMG + reduces ATK
Weapon Glitch5 RAMTarget attacks may deal 0 DMG
Synapse Burnout6 RAMDeals extra Hack DMG
Cyberpsychosis6 RAMConverts common enemies to your side

9 Lucy’s Resonance Liberation has a QTE that lets you choose among 7 Spoofing Programs. Each program costs RAM, with Lucy being able to hold up to 24 points of RAM at S0. Only 3 of them deal damage while the other effects focus on debuffing. At S0, go for the first 5 available, swapping out Synapse Burnout for Cyberpsychosis in wave-based content

Best Team Comps for Lucy

8 Rebecca is Lucy’s best partner by far — her kit is intrinsically tied to Lucy, mentioning Rebecca by name several times throughout. Able to provide unique buffs, personal damage, and significant Hack synergy, no alternative comes close.

9 Lucy’s best partner is essentially free in 3.4! You’re gaining a viable team without the need to pull for a lot of characters and weapons. These units are completely serviceable together with the standard weapons.

Should You Pull for Lucy?

5 Her true value lies in her exclusivity. As a collab-limited character, the chance of a rerun is practically nonexistent. If you want to own a piece of Night City’s tragic history in Solaris-3, Version 3.4 Phase 1 is your one and only shot. 8 S1 increases her Whimpering Wastes potential substantially. However, she has a lower damage ceiling than every modern release before her (about equivalent to a late 2.x character).

Bottom line: If you love Cyberpunk: Edgerunners or want a mechanically unique DPS, pull. If you’re min-maxing meta, she’s solid but not dominant. Either way — she’s never coming back.

FAQs

Q: Is Lucy’s Resonance Chain worth investing in for F2P players?

 Lucy is entirely functional at S0. However, S1 and S2 are excellent quality-of-life upgrades that significantly improve her rotation and Spoofing Program utility — making them the best stopping points for low-spenders.

Q: Will Lucy ever get a rerun banner in Wuthering Waves? 

Highly unlikely. As a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners collab-limited character, her banner (June 8 – July 9, 2026) is expected to be her first and last appearance — pull now or miss out forever.
