Chisa
Who is Chisa?
Chisa is a 5★ Havoc Support using a Broadblade who specialises in Negative Status teams, providing DEF Shred via Havoc Bane application, DEF Ignore, grouping, healing, and shielding for her allies. She is the best-in-slot third-slot teammate for Cartethyia and Ciaccona team compositions, and her arrival elevated her into T0 support tier alongside premium DPS like Aemeath and Hiyuki. Her niche is powerful but narrow: the majority of her specialised buffs function only in Negative Status team contexts, making her less useful outside those compositions.
Kit Summary
Plants a snare on the battlefield that deals Havoc DMG to enemies who enter it and marks them with Unseen Snare debuff.
When enemies marked by Unseen Snare take direct damage, Chisa inflicts Havoc Bane stacks; each stack reduces enemy DEF and amplifies Negative Status damage taken by up to 30%.
AoE Havoc burst that deals heavy DMG and refreshes Unseen Snare marking on all targets hit; targets affected by Finality take 30% amplified DMG from Negative Statuses.
Swap-in Havoc strike that applies grouping and generates Havoc Bane stacks.
Chisa's Signature Weapon grants DEF Ignore to Negative Status damage dealers in the party, amplifying all Spectro Frazzle and Aero Erosion tick damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chisa useful outside Negative Status teams?
Her healing and grouping retain some value in any team, but her specialised buffs — DEF Shred, DEF Ignore, and Negative Status amplification — only function in Negative Status compositions. Outside those teams she is outperformed by Verina, Shorekeeper, or Mornye as a generic support.
What Negative Statuses does Chisa support?
Primarily Spectro Frazzle and Aero Erosion. Enemy DEF reduction directly increases the damage of these status ticks, and Havoc Bane's Negative Status amplification multiplier applies to both. Havoc Bane itself is not a standard Negative Status tick but enables all tick damage to deal more.
Does Chisa need her Signature Weapon?
The Signature unlocks the DEF Ignore passive that makes Chisa truly best-in-slot for Frazzle and Erosion teams. Discord is a functional alternative but you lose the DEF Ignore component, which noticeably reduces the damage advantage in those teams.
