Best Chisa Team Compositions - Wuthering Waves 2.8

Hey Rovers! With the brilliant and enigmatic Chisa from Star Torch Academy finally here in Wuthering Waves 2.8, it's time to figure out how to build the perfect team around her. This 5-Star Havoc Broadblade user isn't your typical damage dealer; she's a versatile support who can heal, shred enemy defenses, and dramatically amplify your team's debuff potential.

This guide will break down her role and then dive into the best team compositions to unleash her full power, from top-tier meta setups to F2P options.

Chisa Overview

Before we jump into teams, let's quickly recap what makes Chisa so special:

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

Primary Role: Sub-DPS / Sustain / Support

Key Support Mechanics:

• Healing & Shielding: Her Resonance Liberation provides team-wide healing, and her ‘Sawring - Eradication’ skill grants a shield.
• Defense Shred: Her Forte Circuit, ‘Thread of Bane’, allows her to ignore 18% of the DEF of targets marked by her `Unseen Snare`.
• Debuff Amplification: Her most powerful feature is her Outro Skill: Unraveling - Law Zero. It increases the maximum stacks of Negative Status and Electro Rage an enemy can hold by 3, which is a massive damage boost for teams built around these effects.

Understanding this core identity is key: Chisa is the cornerstone of any team that relies on applying Negative Statuses.

Top-Tier Team Compositions

Aero Erosion Team

This team leverages Chisa's ability to supercharge Cartethyia's Aero Erosion mechanic.

Cartethyia (Main DPS)/Ciaccona (Sub DPS)/Chisa (Sustain/Support)

Aero Erosion Team
Cartethyia	Ciaccona	Chisa

How it Works:

This is Chisa's premier team. Cartethyia's damage scales with the stacks of Aero Erosion on an enemy. Before her S2, there's a cap on these stacks. Chisa's Outro Skill completely solves this by raising the max stack limit, allowing Cartethyia to deal significantly more damage. Furthermore, Chisa's DEF shred from `Thread of Bane` and her personal Havoc damage make this team incredibly potent against all content, including end-game modes like the Whimpering Wastes.

Rotation Concept:

Start with Chisa to apply `Unseen Snare`, switch to Ciaccona to set up, then use Chisa's Outro Skill into Cartethyia to unleash a devastating Erosion-enhanced assault.

The Spectro Frazzle Team

Bring new energy to the classic Spectro Frazzle team by slotting in Chisa for enhanced utility and damage.

Zani (Main DPS)/Phoebe (Sub DPS)/Chisa (Sustain/Support)

How it Works:

Chisa seamlessly integrates into Zani's core team. She provides the crucial resistance shred and damage boosts that Zani craves, while her Havoc damage ensures the team remains effective even against enemies with high Spectro resistance. Her healing and shielding also provide a more comfortable and sustainable rotation compared to other supports, allowing for more aggressive play.

 

F2P Team Compositions

Pulled for Chisa but don't have the latest 5-star characters? This team is a fantastic and accessible starting point.

Spectro Rover Team

Rover (Spectro) (Main DPS)/Chisa (Support)/Verina (Healer)

Spectro Rover Team
Spectro Rover	Chisa	Verina

How it Works:

This is a very solid and free-to-play friendly team. Spectro Rover is a capable damage dealer who can apply Negative Statuses to trigger Chisa's `Thread of Bane` and benefit from her Outro Skill's stack increase. Verina provides additional healing and damage buffs, creating a very balanced and durable team that can handle all content while you save for other units.

Chisa Main DPS Team

While Chisa shines as a support, you can build a team around her as the on-field driver. Note that at S0, her personal damage may be lower than dedicated main DPS like Camellya.

Chisa (Main DPS)/Danjin or Sanhua (Sub DPS)/Verina (Healer)

Chisa Main DPS Team
Chisa	Danjin	Verina
Chisa	Sanhua	Verina

How it Works:

This setup aims to maximize Chisa's on-field time in her powerful Chainsaw Mode. Danjin is an excellent partner as she can provide a Havoc DMG bonus to the team, directly boosting Chisa's damage. Sanhua is a strong 4-star alternative that provides consistent off-field damage and Concerto energy. Verina ensures survivability and further amplifies Chisa's damage with her buffs. This team is fun and viable, but know that it may not reach the ceiling of her support-oriented teams until higher Resonance Chains.

 

Conclusion

To sum it up, Chisa is not just another new character, she is a support who elevates Negative Status teams to new heights. Her unique combination of healing, defense shred, and, most importantly, the ability to increase Negative Status caps makes her an invaluable asset. Chisa is a tremendously strong and worthwhile pull in Wuthering Waves 2.8.

So, go ahead and build your teams around the "Scissor JK"—you won't be disappointed!
