Wuthering Waves Chisa Build Guide
Havoc 
Broadblade 
"Just an ordinary student."<br/><br/>Calmly, she introduces herself, a faint iridescent shimmer flickering in her eyes. Again, the structures of the world reveal themselves in her vision. Narrowing her eyes, she singles out the very thread that tugs at life itself.

Best Echo Sets for Chisa
★★★★★ - Best. Fits Chisa's kit: extra ATK and Resonance Liberation DMG (easily triggered via Havoc Bane). Havoc Eclipse adds Havoc DMG for personal damage. Highly recommended for hybrid sub-DPS/support play.
★★★★☆ - 2nd best. Great for a healer/support build: boosts heals and provides team ATK when she heals, recommended for a team-focused sustain/support role.
★★☆☆☆ - 3rd best. A balanced combo between personal damage and healing/support. Use if you want to split offensive and supportive utility.
Chisa's Best Primary Echo
Reminiscence: Threnodian - Leviathan
Best Echo for Havoc Bane-focused play: provides passive Havoc DMG Bonus and Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus, deals additional DoT via Core of Collapse that scales well vs Havoc Bane targets, and deals multiple Havoc DMG instances. Summon-type (doesn't break combos).
Fallacy of No Return
Ideal for healer/support Chisa: grants Energy Regen and a team-wide ATK buff; its attacks scale off max HP (considered Spectro DMG) and it is summon-type so it won't interrupt combos.
Nightmare: Crownless
Alternative if you lack Threnodian: gives Havoc DMG but Chisa gains limited benefit beyond equip bonuses. Transform-type (affects combos).

Best Tips & Tricks for Chisa
Best Teams for Chisa
Chisa Aero Erosion Team
Open with Chisa: use Resonance Skill, do Basic Attack string up to Death Snip, then Thread Withdrawn; cast Liberation to fill Forte., With Forte full enter Chainsaw Mode (Resonance Skill), hold attack to perform full Sawring combo and finish with Sawring - Eradication, then swap., Bring in Ciaccona: immediately generate Musical Essence and apply Aero Erosion stacks with Solo Concert after a couple Basic Attacks., Use optimal combos until Chisa's Forte is full, Heavy Attack to group enemies, cast Resonance Liberation and switch to Cartethyia via Outro. Ensure Ciaccona applies Aero Erosion with her Liberation., On Cartethyia: Intro generates Erosion stacks and Sword of Discord; follow with Basic Attacks to summon swords, then Resonance Skill to add stacks and summon Sword of Virtue; recall swords with mid-air attack., Use Cartethyia Liberation and Resonance Skill sequences to group enemies and deal large Aero DMG in a straight line, then switch back to Chisa and repeat rotation.
Chisa Spectro Frazzle Team (Phoebe main)
Start with Chisa: build Forte using Resonance Skill and Basic Attacks; when Forte ≈60, cast Liberation to damage, enhance Sawring, and fill Forte., With Forte full, use enhanced Resonance Skill to enter Chainsaw Mode and hold attack for Sawring string, ending Chisa's on-field rotation., Swap to Rover (Spectro) when Concerto Gauge is maxed; use Rover combos to apply Spectro Frazzle stacks and top up stacks during the rotation as needed., Switch to Phoebe when ready: open with Resonance Skill and Echo Skill, enter Absolution/Confession mode (hold Normal Attack), use Resonance Liberation if available and chain Basic/Heavy Attacks to consume Forte., Monitor Frazzle stack decay: if stacks are low before Phoebe's combo, quick-swap to Rover to refresh stacks, then return to Phoebe., Return to Chisa once her Intro/Outro are available and repeat the rotation.
Chisa Spectro Frazzle Team (Zani main alternative)
Start with Zani: build Redundant Energy with Basic Attacks so she can perform transformed skills later., Bring Chisa in to build Forte via Basic Attacks; after Death Snip cast Liberation to enhance Sawring and fill Forte, then enter Chainsaw Mode and do Sawring string., Switch to Phoebe: use Confession/Absolution mode to stack Spectro Frazzle (two Heavy Attacks + Resonance Liberation is ideal); fill Concerto then switch to Zani., Enter Zani via Intro to get Spectro DMG Bonus; with Redundant Energy full, use transformed Resonance Skill (Sunburst Mode) for 20% Frazzle DMG amplification., Use Zani's Liberation(s) and Blaze/Inferno rotations (Heavy Slash combos to spend Blaze stacks) then cast second Liberation for big damage; repeat cycles as needed., Note: Zani cannot benefit from Kumokiri's All-Type DMG Bonus via Negative Status, so Phoebe is the primary beneficiary of that interaction in this lineup.
