Intro Skill - Outdated Hallucination
Attack the target, dealing Spectro DMG and granting Resonators in the team Involuntary Sharing, allowing them to see targets behind obstacles for 25s.
Additionally, Involuntary Sharing is enhanced on Rebecca, allowing her to lock onto targets behind obstacles. If Rebecca's turret is on the field, its Overload effect is activated, increasing its DMG dealt for 4s.
If Lucy is not in Algorithm Compaction after casting this skill, press Normal Attack within a certain time to cast Basic Attack Stage 2. If Lucy is in Algorithm Compaction after casting this skill, press Normal Attack within a certain time to cast Basic Attack - Thread Shredding Stage 2.
After casting this skill, the next Resonance Skill - Pulse Interference additionally grants 20 points of TCP.
Outro Skill - Countermeasure Program
The incoming Resonator gains 25% Basic Attack DMG Amplification for 14s or until they are switched out.
Grants all Resonators in the team Countermeasure Program for 25s. While the effect is active, when an active Resonator in the team other than Lucy inflicts Hack - Shifting, that Resonator gains 20% All DMG Amplification.
While the effect is active, when a Resonator in the team other than Lucy is attacked, Lucy grants them 30% DMG Reduction for 3s and Stagnates their attacker for 1s. This effect can only trigger up to 1 time while Countermeasure Program is active. Obtaining Countermeasure Program again resets the effective charge.
When the All DMG Amplification is effective, switching to another Resonator ends the Countermeasure Program early.
Data Crash
When the target's Off-Tune Level is full, Lucy can cast Tune Break on the target.
Responding to Hack - Interfered: when Resonators in the team trigger Tune Break on the target and cause them to be affected by Hack - Interfered, Lucy applies Hack Response - Data Crash on the target. Each target can be inflicted with this effect up to 1 times every 8s.
Ghost Cyberware
When Lucy is the active Resonator in the team, if she takes no damage for 8s, she gains 1 stacks of Optical Illusion. Max 1 stacks by default.
Optical Illusion: When attacked, reduce this instance of DMG by 100%. If Lucy is hit or launched from the attack, she immediately recovers and triggers a successful Dodge if she's on the ground. After this effect is triggered, remove 1 stacks of Optical Illusion. This effect can be triggered up to 1 times every 0.5s.
Function Cracking
When Resonance Skill - Payload, Resonance Skill - Pulse Interference, or Resonance Skill - Deadlock damages an Overlord Class or Calamity Class enemy, Lucy applies Botnet Mark on them for 2 min.
While Botnet Mark is active, when a Resonator in the team defeats that target with direct damage, Lucy gains the Network Backdoor effect. If Rebecca is in the team, she gains the same effect.
Network Backdoor: Grants 10% All DMG Amplification and 10% additional Hack DMG Multiplier. This effect lasts for 2 min and stacks up to 2 times. At 2 stacks, additionally increases All DMG Amplification by 5% and Hack DMG Multiplier by 5%. When Lucy is downed, she can no longer gain Network Backdoor, and any existing Network Backdoor effects become invalid.
The Moon, a Ticket, and a Dream
Lucy is now immune to interruptions during Resonance Skill - Payload, Resonance Skill - Pulse Interference, Heavy Attack - Dual Threading, and Heavy Attack - Multi-Threading.
Casting Intro Skill - Outdated Hallucination increases ATK by 20% for 14s.
When a Resonator in the team defeats a target affected by Spoofing Program with direct damage, Lucy records the effect triggered and activates the corresponding Quick Action on that Resonator for 6s. The record expires when Lucy is knocked out.
Quick Action: When activated, inflict the recorded Spoofing Program effects on targets within a certain distance from the active Resonator in the team, effective once only on each target.
The following Spoofing Program effects can be recorded: Spoofing Program: Cyberware Malfunction, Spoofing Program: Breach Protocol, Spoofing Program: Cripple Movement, Spoofing Program: Weapon Glitch, and Spoofing Program: Cyberpsychosis. When applying Spoofing Program effects via Quick Action, only the continuous status effects are applied.
The Blackwall, the Past, the Escape
While casting Resonance Liberation - Netrunner and Resonance Liberation - Old Net Deep Dive, Lucy's starting RAM is increased to 32.

OUR REVIEW
How to Use
Lucy is a Main DPS played with Hack and who deals damage considered as Heavy Attack.
Gameplay Style
Lucy has a rotation that requires juggling between her two forms: Cloud Portal & Algorithm Compaction
PROS & CONS
Pros
Buffs Basic Attack
Fast rotation
Cons
DPS below the 3.x average
RECOMMENDED ROTATION
Intro - Outdated Hallucination: Lucy always enters via her Intro, never first. Deals Spectro DMG and grants the whole team Involuntary Sharing for 25 seconds — this buff lets you detect targets behind obstacles. If Rebecca is in the team, she can directly lock onto the target behind the obstacle, and if her turret is set up, the Overload effect boosts its damage for 4 seconds.
Echo: Activate the Echo to deal additional damage.
Basic Attack 2 → 3 → 4: After the Intro, chain directly into hit 2 and combo up to 4. Every hit generates TCP via the Cloud Portal passive, building the gauge towards 100%.
Resonance Skill - Payload: Charge into the enemy. The Function Cracking passive applies Botnet Mark to the target, increasing the damage it takes. Every hit also keeps generating TCP.
Resonance Skill - Pulse Interference: Chains directly after Payload to deal damage and keep generating TCP and unlock Resonance Skill - Deadlock.
Resonance Skill - Deadlock: TCP is at 100%, the skill is replaced with Deadlock. Cast it to deal damage and trigger Algorithm Compaction: +65% Spectro DMG Bonus for 8 seconds and gain 1 stack of SQL, mandatory for Multi-threading.
Heavy Attack - Single Threading: Hold Heavy Attack. Deals damage, generates Root Access and sets up the Ult boost.
Basic Attack - Thread Shredding 2: A quick hit to fill the bit of Root Access still missing.
Heavy Attack - Dual Threading: Root Access at 100% — hold Heavy Attack to trigger Dual Threading and deal more damage.
Heavy Attack - Multi-threading: During Dual Threading, press Normal Attack to trigger Multi-threading. Lucy consumes her SQL — DMG multiplier goes up by +270%. The Resonance Liberation is automatically replaced by its boosted version.
Resonance Liberation - Old Net Deep Dive: Unleash everything. Thanks to Multi-threading, the DMG multiplier is greatly increased. The Spoofing Programs reduce the enemy's DEF by 5% and increase the DMG they take by 5%. TCP is cleared at the end.
Outro - Countermeasure Program: Swap out. The whole team gets the Countermeasure Program effect for 25 seconds: every time a member inflicts Hack - Shifting on the target, all their damage is amplified. Lucy also grants 30% DMG Reduction for 3 seconds before an ally is hit, and Stagnates the attacker for 1 second. Finally, the next incoming Resonator gets 25% Basic Attack DMG Amplification for 14 seconds.
Tip : Lucy can have a longer or slightly different rotation depending on the team, with lots of swaps. This rotation targets a standard-level player, with an optimal rotation without QS.

BEST TEAM COMPOSITIONS
Cyberpunk Team
Lucy is played with Hack and Rebecca applies it too — this team will be one of Lucy's best.
Heavy Attack Team
Most of Lucy's damage counts as Heavy Attack, so these teams are playable, but Lucy doesn't output damage above average.
CALCULATIONS
Heavy Attack
This value represents damage counted as Heavy Attack in an optimal Rebecca S0R1 team rotation.
Hack
This value represents damage counted as Hack in an optimal Rebecca S0R1 team rotation (Tune Break included).
Resonance Skill
This value represents Resonance Skill damage (Spectral Bubble, Banish) in an optimal Rebecca S0R1 team rotation.
Basic Attack
This value represents damage counted as Basic Attack in an optimal Rebecca S0R1 team rotation.
Intro
This value represents Intro damage in an optimal Rebecca S0R1 team rotation.
Rebecca Mornye Team
The best team for Lucy. Damage is below 3.x characters but since a sequence is given for free, factor that in.
Rebecca Shorekeeper Team
Spectro
RectifierThis team is slightly worse over time than with Mornye because Mornye speeds up the Off-Tune rate so we trigger more Hack — but if you only do 1× Tune Break, Shore is preferable.
Rebecca Verina Team
1.6M is fully acceptable to clear endgame content, but from a meta point of view it's very low. In 4.x, characters should normally do 1.7× this damage, which is why it's considered weak.
Rebecca Baizhi Team
In practice the damage will be much lower because you won't constantly pick up Baizhi's Feather with Lucy, which drops the damage.
Phrolova Mornye Team
HavocRectifierThis is a surprisingly strong team. Here, DPS really matters.
Phrolova Shorekeeper Team

General Conditions
Echo Stats
Note: Percentages represent the damage difference compared to S0.
Team Rebecca S0 R1 - Mornye S0 R1.
What is the best build for Lucy?
The optimal build for Lucy uses the Shadow of Shattered Dreams set with the Resonant Aftermath - Nightmare: Adam Smasher echo on Cost 4. She prioritizes Crit Rate, Crit DMG and Spectro DMG on her echo sub-stats. Her signature weapon Spectral Trigger is strongly recommended because without it her damage drops significantly.
What are the best teams for Lucy?
Lucy fits perfectly alongside Rebecca (best team, Hack - Shifting synergy) and Phrolova (Heavy Attack team). She also works with Iuno and Mortefi. As supports, we recommend Mornye (speeds up the Off-Tune rate), Shorekeeper or Verina.
Which talents should I prioritize for Lucy?
Prioritize Resonance Liberation first (47% of damage), then Basic Attack (40%), then Forte Circuit (7%), and finally Resonance Skill (5%). Intro is last as it contributes very little to total damage.
How does Lucy's rotation work?
Lucy always enters via her Intro (Outdated Hallucination), never first. She chains: Intro → Echo → Basic Attack 2→3→4 → Payload → Pulse Interference → Deadlock → Heavy Attack Single Threading → Basic Attack 2 → Dual Threading → Multi-threading (consumes SQL, +270%) → Old Net Deep Dive Liberation → Outro. TCP fills via Cloud Portal on every hit and resets after the Liberation.
Why is Lucy played as Main DPS and not Sub DPS?
Lucy deals the majority of her damage directly on the field through her Heavy Attacks (Single Threading, Dual Threading, Multi-threading) and her Resonance Liberation. She needs field time to fill her TCP and trigger Algorithm Compaction, which makes her a Main DPS rather than a passive Sub DPS.
