Wuthering Waves · 5★ Resonator
"Memory Palace" The academy rector who captures memories in frames
Lucilla is the rector of Startorch Academy, an idealist with big dreams and both feet on the ground who quietly looks out for her students from the background as they chase their sky-high goals. According to the records, her Forte awakened through a camera she received as a birthday present when she was a child; she can turn memories into images and briefly reconstruct them. She wields a Rectifier with the Glacio element. Through Focus Ring timing she builds Trace and Photos, and with 3 Photos she enters her Liberation without spending any energy. She has two Resonance Modes: In Glacio Chafe mode she boosts the team's Glacio Chafe damage, and in Echo mode she supports Echo Skill damage.
Lucilla is a limited 5★ Resonator; she arrived in version 3.4 with the "Tomorrow in the Frame" banner, which ran from June 13 to July 9, 2026. She does not appear on the standard banner, so you can only pull her with Radiant Tides while her banner is active; a 5★ is guaranteed within 80 pulls, and your first 5★ has a 50% chance of being the featured character. As of version 3.6 she has not had a rerun yet, and her signature weapon Freeze Frame is pulled from the weapon banner.

Totals are calculated from game data: Every ascension stage from 1→90, skills 1→10 and every skill tree node.
If you hold the button on the final hit of her three-hit Glacio combo, the Focus Ring opens and a cursor spins around it. Release while the cursor is in the Perfect Focus zone for the stronger Commendable hit and more Trace; outside it, you only get Unremarkable. If the ring fills up completely, Commendable triggers automatically.
Pulls nearby enemies in and deals Glacio damage; holding it also opens the Focus Ring. Releasing while the cursor is in Perfect Focus triggers Spotlight: More damage and Trace, 20 Concerto Energy and, in Glacio Chafe mode, 1 extra Glacio Chafe stack. If you miss, you get Compensate instead and the skill's cooldown is reduced by 8 s.
Focus Ring hits and the Intro fill up to 150 Trace; every 50 Trace turns into one Photo (up to 3). In Glacio Chafe mode, the Liberation grants Film Roll, which adds 2 extra stacks to each Glacio Chafe application by teammates; in Echo mode, it grants Zoom stacks that increase the active character's Echo Skill Crit. DMG. In the 3rd stage of Tracing Forms, each Photo becomes an Oblivion hit that counts as Basic Attack or Echo Skill damage depending on the mode.
Does not use Resonance Energy; it becomes available at 3 Photos. It deals Glacio damage, puts Lucilla into Reminiscence and grants 30% Basic Attack or Echo Skill DMG Bonus for 10 s depending on the mode. During this state, her Basic Attack turns into Tracing Forms; releasing the 3rd stage triggers Letting It Go, during which she takes no damage, which grants 20 Concerto Energy and ends Reminiscence.
Deals Glacio damage on entry, applies 1 Glacio Chafe stack and grants 100 Trace, which sets up two Photos in one move. During Reminiscence it turns into Clip It: Hard Cut and links directly into the 3rd stage of Tracing Forms.
In Glacio Chafe mode, Glacio Chafe damage dealt to targets around the active character is amplified by 60% for 30 s. In Echo mode, the next character gains 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification for 14 s; the effect ends if Lucilla switches modes.
Enemies in frame are slowed while the Focus Ring is open. In Glacio Chafe mode, Spotlight lowers the Glacio RES of targets around the active character by 8% for 30 s; in Echo mode, it grants the whole team 25% Echo Skill DMG Bonus for 30 s.
The Film Roll cap rises to 10 and the Zoom cap to 4. Each Photo she spends grants 2 more Film Roll stacks in Glacio Chafe mode or 1 more Zoom stack in Echo mode; at 4 Zoom stacks, the active character's Echo Skill Crit. DMG bonus reaches 40%.
She can perform the Rectifier-specific Tune Break attack on a target whose Off-Tune level is full. It has no extra effect specific to Lucilla; it is the shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
At S0 she does her job in both modes. For team support, the most valuable stop is S2; S3 and S6 boost Letting It Go and turn Lucilla into a character who deals serious damage on her own.
The first Perfect Focus hit in Phantom Frame fills the ring completely, which makes Spotlight very easy to land; Spotlight grants 20% Crit. Rate for 10 s, and Phantom Frame and the 3rd stage of Tracing Forms become immune to interruption.
After the Liberation, Glacio Chafe damage is amplified by another 80% in Glacio Chafe mode, and in Echo mode the whole team gains 40% Echo Skill DMG Bonus; the effect lasts throughout Reminiscence and for 30 s after it ends.

Oblivion's multiplier increases by 50%.

Lucilla is a limited 5★ Resonator. She arrived in version 3.4 with the "Tomorrow in the Frame" banner, which ran from June 13 to July 9, 2026, and can only be pulled with Radiant Tides while her banner is active; as of 3.6 she has not had a rerun yet.
In Glacio Chafe mode, 5-piece Wishes of Quiet Snowfall with Glommoth as the main Echo is the best choice. If you play in Echo mode, switch to 5-piece Moonlit Clouds and Impermanence Heron.
Her signature weapon Freeze Frame is by far the best; applying Glacio Chafe gives her Glacio DMG and the whole team 24% ATK. Alternatives include Whispers of Sirens and Stringmaster, Lethean Elegy for Echo mode, and Radiant Dawn and Waltz in Masquerade on the 4★ side.
Yes; she is a flexible sub DPS/support who needs no energy at all and has a short, easy rotation. If your team has a main DPS who applies Glacio Chafe, such as Hiyuki, choose Glacio Chafe mode; if you have a DPS who relies on Echo Skills, such as Sigrika, choose Echo mode.
For Glacio Chafe, the strongest team is Hiyuki + Lucilla + Suisui; if you do not have Suisui, Chisa also does the job. In Echo mode, Sigrika + Lucilla + Shorekeeper works well.
For Ascension she needs Suncoveter's Reach from Starward Handmaiden: Hyvatia, Forget-Me-Not and Mech Cores. Her skills use the String series (from Spliced to Melodic String), Mech Cores and We Who Question from the weekly boss Denia.
