Chixia
Who is Chixia?
Chixia is a 4★ Fusion Attack agent using Pistols and one of the original starter characters in Wuthering Waves. A fiery, energetic girl with dual pistols, her kit is built around a Vibrant charge system — she builds Vibrant stacks through rapid Pistols combos and spends them on empowered shots dealing high single-target Fusion DMG. She is the first Fusion DPS that many players encounter and a reliable early-game carry. While outclassed by Encore and Changli in late game, she is a capable Fusion DPS for all early and mid-game content.
Kit Summary
Rapid dual-pistols combo; builds Vibrant stacks with each hit — the faster she attacks, the faster stacks accumulate.
Fires a charged Fusion shot that consumes all Vibrant stacks for a powerful burst — damage scales with stacks consumed.
At max Forte, unleashes a spinning pistols burst dealing multiple Fusion hits; her highest personal DPS phase.
Large AoE Fusion burst dealing high area damage and fully resetting Vibrant stacks for an immediate Blistering Bullet follow-up.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Molten Rift (4pc) — Fusion DMG Bonus + additional Fusion DMG on Heavy/Skill hits. Best-in-slot for her Blistering Bullet empowered shots.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Pistols of Voyaging (4★) or Commando of Conviction — ATK stat sticks; her Vibrant system scales primarily with ATK and CRIT stats.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Starter Fusion: Chixia + Mortefi + Baizhi (Mortefi off-field Fusion procs; Baizhi accessible healing — fully F2P Fusion team)
Budget: Chixia + Yangyang + Baizhi (early-game accessible team before dedicated Fusion support is obtained)
F2P Verdict
Chixia is obtainable from the standard Convene banner and provided early in the story — effectively free.
She is the recommended starting Fusion DPS before Encore or Changli is obtained. Focus echo investment on her until a 5★ Fusion DPS is available.
At S2 (standard duplicates) her Vibrant stack capacity increases, improving her burst window damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chixia worth investing echo resources into?
Invest modestly in Chixia while she is your main Fusion DPS, but prioritise pulling and building a 5★ Fusion carry (Encore standard, or Changli limited) as your primary goal. Her echoes can be recycled onto Encore later since both use Molten Rift set.
What are Vibrant stacks?
Vibrant stacks build as Chixia performs Normal Attacks and other abilities. When Blistering Bullet (Resonance Skill) is used, all stacks are consumed — the more stacks at cast time, the more powerful the shot. Maximising stacks before using Resonance Skill is her main skill expression.
Can Chixia work alongside Encore?
They compete for the same Fusion DPS slot. You would use one as your main Fusion DPS, not both simultaneously. Encore is the upgrade; once you have her built, Chixia transitions to reserve or rotation backup.
