Chisa
Living smart-spender Chisa guide for general players (not whale ceiling). 5★ Havoc Broadblade Negative Status support / hybrid — BiS third slot for Havoc Bane, Fusion Burst, Glacio Chafe, and other Neg Status teams. Banner art: official Kuro key art (via Prydwen full art). Verified 30 Sep 2026 HKT.
Controls note: DualSense defaults — □ Normal Attack · △ Resonance Skill · R2 Resonance Liberation · ✕ Jump · R1 Dodge · L1+□ Echo · character switch = Outro. Hold □ = Heavy Attack. Rebinds differ; match your layout.
Brief summary
Chisa is a Negative Status specialist: she applies Havoc Bane (DEF shred), grants Thread of Bane (18% DEF ignore for Neg Status appliers), heals/shields on kit, and her Outro raises max stacks of every Negative Status by +3.
| Job | When she shines | When to skip |
|---|---|---|
| Neg Status sustain | Yangyang: Xuanling, Hiyuki, Aemeath Fusion Burst, Cartethyia (+sig), Hsin Flare | Any non–Neg Status team — Baizhi / SK outperform her there |
| Hybrid 3rd slot | ATK-scaling DPS want Rejuvenating Glow; personal-DMG / HP scalers want Thread of Severed Fate | Pure Spectro Frazzle (Zani) — SK / Spectro Rover usually better |
Pull / build when: you own (or plan) a Neg Status DPS and need the stack-cap + DEF shred sustain slot. S0 is fully playable; S0R1 is the bang-for-buck entry because Kumokiri carries ~half her team buffing (see Sequences).
Build guide + echoes
Cost pattern: 4 / 3 / 3 / 1 / 1.
| Use case | Set | Main echo | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATK DPS 3rd slot (default Fusion Burst / Hiyuki) | Rejuvenating Glow 5-pc | Fallacy of No Return | Team ATK on heal + ER; Kuro/Game8/Prydwen agree for ATK carries |
| Personal DMG / Cartethyia / hybrid | Thread of Severed Fate 3 + Havoc Eclipse 2 | Reminiscence: Threnodian - Leviathan | Liberation DMG + Havoc on Bane ticks; Kuro default recommend |
| 2nd-slot funnel (e.g. YYXL + Suisui) | Moonlit Clouds 5-pc | Impermanence Heron | Strongest ATK / DMG package to the carry |
Main stats: 4-cost CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG · 3-cost Havoc DMG ≥ ATK% (Glow: Havoc edges ahead; Thread: roughly equal) · 1-cost ATK% (×2).
Substats: Energy Regen (until comfortable ~120–125%) → CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG → Liberation DMG% ≥ ATK% → flat ATK.
Best weapon
| Rank | Weapon | Approx. share (Prydwen, Aemeath Burst sheet) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kumokiri (sig, R1) | 100% | Liberation stacks + 24% All-Attribute to Neg Status appliers — BiS and half her buffing |
| 2 | Wildfire Mark R1 | ~88% | Best personal; no team All-DMG package |
| 3 | Ages of Harvest / Verdant Summit / Radiance Cleaver | ~80–82% | Stat sticks |
| Perm / F2P | Lustrous Razor · Meditations on Mercy R5 · Autumntrace R5 | Lustrous ~75%; Mercy ~69% | Mercy is the craftable Neg Status ATK stick |
Need signature? Smart-spender call: R1 is worth it if she is your Neg Status sustain (especially Cartethyia vs Aero Rover, and Fusion Burst). Do not push R2+ before the next planned S0 DPS/support.
Target endgame stats (Lv.90, S0)
Prydwen sheet targets (party active, out of combat) · Kuro comfort overlays:
| Stat | Target |
|---|---|
| HP | 15000+ |
| DEF | 1100+ |
| ATK | 2000–2500+ (Kuro often cites ≥2300) |
| CRIT Rate | 65–80%+ (Kuro ≥75%) |
| CRIT DMG | 210–255%+ (Kuro ≥250%) |
| Energy Regen | 125%+ (Kuro ≥120% — raise if Liberation drops before Chainsaw) |
| Havoc DMG% | 40–70%+ |
Skill priority
- Forte Circuit (Chainsaw / Sawring / shield)
- Resonance Liberation
- Basic Attack
- Resonance Skill (utility / pull — skippable late)
- Intro (skip / last)
Inherent skills first. Always cast R2 before Serrated Loop — Liberation amplifies Sawring multipliers.
Sequences + signature sweet spot
| Stop | Verdict |
|---|---|
| S0R0 | Playable on Lustrous / Wildfire; team All-DMG package missing |
| S0R1 | Default sweet spot — Kumokiri unlocks the 24% All-Attribute Neg Status buff. Enough for ToA / WhiWa |
| S1 | Interrupt resist + ATK — skip unless going to S2 |
| S2 | Best sequence breakpoint if you keep spending — +50% All-Attribute to Thread of Bane allies (Game8 “amazing”) |
| S3+ | Personal DPS / whale (S3 multipliers, S6 Finality amp) |
Definitive recommend: S0R1. Push S2R1 only after your Neg Status DPS and their other premium slots are secure.
Best teams + full rotations (PS)
Loop Chisa (after opener):
Intro → □×2 (into Rending Lunge / Death Snip) → R2 (cancel Death Snip endlag) → △ Serrated Loop → hold □ Sawring Blitz → □ Eradication (swap-cancel) → L1+□ Echo (Glow: before Outro) → Outro
Opener (no Intro): □×2 → △ Eye → Rending → full Death Snip → Thread Withdrawn cancel into R2 → then Serrated + Sawring as above.
1) Fusion Burst — Aemeath / Denia / Chisa
Chisa: Rejuvenating Glow + Fallacy. Aemeath + Denia on Fusion Burst mode.

- Denia: Intro → □ → △ → R2 Stagecraft → Breakdown loop → R2 Erosion Field → Outro to Aemeath
- Aemeath: Intro → □×3 → R2 → (□×4 → △) ×2 to 4 diamonds → hold □ + △ (Finale) → Outro to Chisa
