Best Chisa teams

Hiyuki Glacio ChafeSS

Lucilla completes the premium Glacio Chafe core — clears both single-target and multi-wave endgame with ease.

Hiyuki Glacio BurstSS

Lynae's Tune Break and Liberation buff stacking feeds straight into Hiyuki's nuke windows, while Chisa raises the max stack ceiling on Glacio Chafe so each burst lands harder — a heavier-hitting alternative to Hiyuki's standard Echo-focused rotation.

Yangyang Xuanling AnomalySS

Chisa raises the max stack ceiling on Havoc Bane and shreds enemy DEF through the status, letting Yangyang: Xuanling's self-buffs build faster; Rebecca layers on All-DMG and Heavy Attack buffs that lift every hit in the rotation.
