Wuthering Waves Lilya Build Guide｜5-Star Spectro Support, Full Ascension/Skill/Signature Weapon Material List + Team Comp Preview

Every time a new version is around the corner, the most frustrating part is not whether you can pull the character, but whether you can afford to build her.

After saving Astrites for ages, you finally win the character in one lucky pull and bring her home. Then you check the ascension materials and discover that you need to farm a world boss. You check the weapon and find another domain to clear. After burning through all your stamina potions, you can only watch your favorite character remain stuck at Level 60. Anyone who has experienced the pain of “I can pull her but I can’t build her” knows exactly what that feels like.

Lilia from Version 3.8 is scheduled to release on November 12, 2026. As an extremely important piece of the current Heart Moon Fox composition, she is sure to attract plenty of attention. To keep everyone from wasting stamina aimlessly after the update, this guide lists Lilia’s build checklist, material requirements, and pull recommendations in one place.

Stock up in advance and max her out on day one. That is basic veteran-player procedure.

Role: More Than a Healer—an Emergency Lifeguard

Lilia is a five-star Spectro character who uses pistols and specializes in healing and support.

Pure healers in Wuthering Waves are already highly competitive, with characters such as Baizhi and Shorekeeper. Lilia takes a different approach, combining healing, crowd control, team buffs, and emergency protection in one versatile support kit.

Her kit includes several powerful mechanics:

Healing during Heavy Attacks: Ensures her sustain while she is on the field.

Emergency protection against lethal damage: This resembles a “cheat death” effect. In high-pressure endgame content, preventing a sudden KO is far more useful than simply providing slow recovery.

Dream Fragrance stacks: She does more than heal; stacking this effect can greatly increase the team’s ATK.

Off-field damage boost: Her support value continues even after she leaves the field.

Core build split: Lilia’s ascension stat direction depends on your chosen build. For pure healing, stack HP. If you value her Ultimate buff and want to pursue an Ultimate CRIT-focused build, Energy Regen becomes important. However, given the current support meta, stacking HP for stronger healing and better anti-burst protection will probably be the mainstream option.

Complete Ascension and Skill Material List

Since Version 3.8 has not officially launched yet, some new materials, such as the new world boss drop and regional specialty, are still listed as “TBD.” However, we can record the known universal materials and farming schedule in advance.

1. Character Level Ascension and EXP (Levels 1-90)

Based on the table above, the total Shell Credit requirement is approximately 1,024,000.

2. Skill Upgrade Materials (All Skills)

Recommended farming priority:

Stockpile Shell Credits first: Rough calculations show that leveling, ascension, and skills require around 3.05 million Shell Credits in total. They always seem plentiful until you start building a character, when they disappear instantly. Clear more daily content over the next few days, or exchange Waveplates for some.

Confirm enemy drops: You can already farm the Golden Crystal series in the open world, so gather enough in advance.

Wait until Version 3.8 to farm exclusive materials: The world boss and regional specialty are currently unavailable. After the server opens on November 12, collect some while progressing through the new main story, then spend your stamina on the world boss.

Signature Weapon “Lullaby”: Six Exoskeleton Group Carvings and the Burner Series

Lilia’s exclusive five-star pistol is called “Lullaby.” Signature weapons for support characters often provide irreplaceable team buffs, so it is worthwhile to prepare the weapon materials in advance if possible.

Total materials required to raise “Lullaby” to Level 90:

Acquisition reminder: Exoskeleton Group Carvings and the Burner series usually come from weapon material domains or specific enemies. If you have universal weapon material selector chests, save them and open them after obtaining “Lullaby.” If you do not get the signature weapon, keep them for a suitable replacement.

Team Preview: The Final Piece of the Heart Moon Fox Composition?

With the “Floral Path” Echo set introduced in Version 3.7, which grants the entire team 10% ATK when healing an ally and an additional 15% through the Co-Sonance effect, Lilia’s role is becoming quite clear.

She is widely speculated to be the best third slot for the Heart Moon Fox Co-Sonance composition.

The logic behind the team is straightforward:

Heart Moon Fox (Main DPS, responsible for damage)

Suoming (Sub-DPS, provides coordinated mechanics)

Lilia (Healing and team-wide ATK buffs)

If you already obtained Heart Moon Fox and Suoming in Version 3.7, Lilia is absolutely the missing piece you should complete. Her addition raises both the team’s damage ceiling and survivability.

Pull Advice: Should You Spend Your Astrites?

FAQ

1. How many materials does Lilia need for her skills?

According to current test-server datamined information, her skill upgrades require approximately 2,030,000 Shell Credits and multi-tier upgrade materials in quantities of 25, 28, 55, and 67. Check the final in-game material list before farming to ensure each category is matched correctly.

2. What materials does the signature weapon “Lullaby” require?

Preliminary data lists four tiers of Exoskeleton Group Carvings, four tiers of Burners, and 330,000 Shell Credits. Before spending resources, compare the requirements with the final weapon data, as they may be adjusted slightly at launch.

3. Can I farm Lilia’s materials in advance?

You can prepare general resources such as Shell Credits and Character EXP items, and collect confirmed materials such as the Golden Crystal series. However, wait for the final material list before farming Lilia’s exclusive boss drops, regional specialties, or other unconfirmed resources to avoid wasting stamina.

4. Should I prioritize Lilia or “Lullaby”?

If you mainly need a healer and team support, prioritize obtaining Lilia and upgrading her core skills. A support character’s base kit provides most of her value. If your resource budget allows, consider getting “Lullaby” afterward. This ensures you receive her main team benefits first before investing extra resources in the signature weapon, giving you the best value.

Important reminder: The material names, such as “Exoskeleton Group Carvings” and the “Burner” series, along with some quantities, are based on test-server datamining. Names, icons, and amounts may be adjusted when the live version launches. Always follow the actual requirements shown in the in-game build guide on November 12. It is recommended to finish farming the Golden Crystal materials available in the open world first, then wait for launch for everything else.

Good luck winning your 50/50 on November 12. Prepare your materials in advance and max her out on day one!
