Resonance Chain Pulling Advice

Chisa's Resonance Chain follows a similar design pattern to other Resonators:

S1: Provides Interruption Resistance to improve field stability.

S2: Offers a high All-Attribute DMG Bonus.

S3: Significantly increases her Self-Damage.

S6: Provides multiple functions: Survival, Support, and Damage.

Pulling Recommendation:

S0R1 (Chisa + Signature Weapon) is a solid start.

S2R1 is a high cost-performance choice.

S3R1 further boosts her personal damage.

S6R1 / S6R5 is for dedicated fans who want to maximize her potential.

 

Team Compositions

Aero Erosion Team
Cartethyia	Ciaccona	Chisa

Chisa is the perfect fit for Cartethyia’s Aero-Erosion teams. She provides substantial DEF Shred, DMG Buffs, and, most importantly, increases the maximum stack limit of the Aero Erosion. This solves a core issue for pre-S2 Cartethyia and makes the team much more potent in end-game content like the Whimpering Wastes.

Spectro Frazzle Team
Zani	Phoebe	Chisa

Inject new life into the classic Spectro Frazzle team with Chisa. She brings valuable resistance reduction and damage buffs to the party. Her own potent Havoc damage also allows the team to perform well even against enemies with high Spectro resistance.

Spectro Rover Team
Rover: Spectro	Chisa	Verina

For new players who joined specifically for Chisa but lack the premium teammates mentioned earlier, we've prepared a free and accessible team composition. The Rover (Spectro), whom everyone owns, has the ability to apply Negative Status. Who knows—maybe the future Rover (Havoc) will also receive a Vanishing Havoc enhancement? Let's embark on an intense school-life combat adventure!

Chisa Main DPS Team
Chisa	Danjin or Sanhua	Verina

At S0, Chisa's overall damage output is slightly lower than a similarly invested Camellya. However, this is partly because her most synergistic teammates are still limited, making it harder to fully utilize her personal damage potential. For low-investment builds, you can try using Sanhua, the 4-star combat specialist, or Danjin, who boosts Havoc damage, as supports to enhance Chisa's own output.

 

Conclusion

In summary, Chisa isn't just one of the most notable new characters in Wuthering Waves Version 2.8—she's also an incredibly versatile flex pick who performs excellently in both Aero Erosion and Spectro Frazzle teams. Her signature weapon, "Kumokiri," strikes a perfect balance between her personal damage and supportive capabilities. In short: Chisa is both powerful and charming—definitely pull for her. You'll regret missing out!
