Wuthering Waves 2.8 Chisa: Weapons, Build, and Teams

Hey Rovers, she's here at last! Chisa, the brilliant and enigmatic schoolgirl from Star Torch Academy, is now available. She uses a special shape-shifting Broadblade that switches between quick scissors and a tough chainsaw, letting her go from a calm analyst to a destructive force in a flash.

This guide lays out everything you need to build Chisa right, from key materials to the best team setups. Let's jump in and see how to make the most of the "Scissor JK"!

Chisa Character Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Havoc | Weapon: Broadblade

Chisa is a 5-star Havoc character who stands out as a mix of damage dealer and team supporter. Her main thing is her Resonance Liberation that dishes out huge damage, along with her power to apply the Vanishing Havoc Effect, which weakens enemies.

Forte Skill Prioritization:

When leveling up her skills, prioritize the core parts that drive her damage and usefulness:

Inherent Skill (Highest Priority) > Forte Circuit > Resonance Liberation > Basic Attack = Resonance Skill > Intro Skill

Materials for Ascension & Forte

Weapon Recommendations

Signature Weapon: Kumokiri

ATK: 500 | CRIT Rate: 36.0% (Max Lv. 90 Stat Example)

Thread of Fate: Increases ATK by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. When using the Intro Skill or applying Negative Status, increases Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus by 8%/10%/12%/14%/16%, stackable up to 3 times for 15 seconds. At max stacks, when a team member applies Negative Status, increases all-attribute DMG Bonus by 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% for 15 seconds. Effects with the same name cannot stack.

This is Chisa's own weapon and the absolute top pick for her. It ramps up her ATK and Resonance Liberation damage. When fully stacked, it also delivers a huge damage boost across the team whenever teammates apply Negative Status, turning it into an awesome support option too.

Resonance Chain Pulling Advice

Chisa's Resonance Chain sticks to a pattern like other Resonators:

S1: Gives Interruption Resistance to boost stability on the field.

S2: Delivers a strong All-Attribute DMG Bonus.

S3: Greatly ramps up her own damage.

S6: Handles several roles: survival, support, and damage.

Pulling Recommendation:

S0R1 (Chisa + Signature Weapon) makes for a good beginning.

S2R1 offers solid value for the cost.

S3R1 pushes her personal damage higher.

S6R1 / S6R5 is for serious fans aiming to max her out.

Team Compositions

Aero Erosion Team

Cartethyia Ciaccona Chisa

Chisa slots perfectly into Cartethyia's Aero-Erosion teams. She shreds DEF, buffs damage, and crucially raises the max stack for Aero Erosion. This fixes a key problem for Cartethyia before S2 and strengthens the team in high-end areas like the Whimpering Wastes.

Spectro Frazzle Team

Zani Phoebe Chisa

Bring fresh energy to the standard Spectro Frazzle team using Chisa. She adds useful resistance cuts and damage boosts. Her strong Havoc damage helps the team hold up even against foes resistant to Spectro.

Spectro Rover Team

Rover: Spectro Chisa Verina

For beginners who came for Chisa but don't have the high-end teammates yet, here's an easy free team. Everyone has Rover (Spectro), who can apply Negative Status. Maybe the upcoming Rover (Havoc) will get a Vanishing Havoc upgrade too? Time for some serious school-battle action!

Chisa Main DPS Team

Chisa Danjin or Sanhua Verina

At S0, Chisa's damage is a bit less than a comparable Camellya. That's partly due to limited teammates that sync well with her, making it tough to tap her full damage potential. For basic setups, try Sanhua, the 4-star fighter, or Danjin, who boosts Havoc damage, as helpers to improve Chisa's output.

Conclusion

To sum it up, Chisa stands out as one of the key new additions in Wuthering Waves Version 2.8—she's also a highly adaptable choice that shines in Aero Erosion and Spectro Frazzle teams. Her signature weapon, "Kumokiri," hits a great mix of her own damage and team support. Bottom line: Chisa is tough and appealing—go ahead and pull for her. You won't want to skip this!
