Best Builds for Chixia in Wuthering Waves: Best Weapons, Echo, and Teams

One of the first heroes you will encounter in Wuthering Waves is Chixia. The owner of a powerful pistol will soon join your team for free. In this guide, we have compiled the best builds for Chixia, as well as described all available skills and effective teams with her participation.

Although Chixia cannot be called one of the strongest companions in the game, with full upgrade you can use the heroine as a DPS even in the later stages of the game. But primarily, she is ideal for the start until more powerful resonators appear in your team. Below are the best builds for the heroine: weapons, echo, and teams.

Static Mist is a powerful 5-star pistol that significantly increases Chixia's critical damage chance and boosts her energy regeneration. But since the heroine is best revealed in the early stages, you are unlikely to have this weapon. As an alternative, you can use the 4-star Thunderbolt. This pistol increases the resonance skill damage bonus by 7% up to three times when dealing basic or heavy attacks, which you will often use with this character.

The echo Inferno Rider is perfect for Chixia. It allows you to deal consecutive strikes that inflict fusion damage while increasing the damage and basic attack of your current character. This makes it undoubtedly the best choice for this hero.

In the early stages, it is important to maximize Chixia's damage output. The best way to achieve this is by using the Molten Rift set. In a full set of five parts, this set increases fusion damage by 30% after using the Resonance skill, allowing the heroine to deal consistently high damage for a long time. Therefore, it is not recommended to mix this effect with others — it is best to focus solely on the Molten Rift.

Chixia is best used as the main DPS character at lower upgrade levels. At the start, you probably won't have a wide choice of resonators, so an excellent team would be to combine Chixia with Rover as an additional fighter and Baizhi as a support character, since all these characters can be unlocked through the main story. Later, when you have more resources and opportunities, replace Baizhi with the 5-star Verina and Rover with another sub-DPS, such as Sanhua or Taoqi. This will create a more powerful and balanced team, in which Chixia will continue to play an important role.

Chixia is a fusion resonator whose main goal is to deal maximum damage. Primarily focus on increasing her fusion damage and critical damage. If you have access to Chixia at the S1 level, pay more attention to critical damage, as her «Resonance» skill at this level will guarantee many critical hits.

Chixia's strengths play a crucial role in combat as she is a skill-oriented resonator. To maximize her fusion damage, players should pay special attention to her basic skill, followed by the «Strong Chain» and «Resonance» skills:

By focusing on these skills, you can fully unlock Chixia's potential and make her a powerful fighter on the battlefield.

As a pistol wielder, Chixia excels at long-range attacks. To play this hero effectively, you should master the Forte Circuit system, which might seem confusing at first.

First, you need to repeatedly use basic attacks and the resonance skill to fill the stamina gauge to the maximum. By using these attacks, you gain thermobaric bullets that will be used in her strong cycle. It is useful to wait until her introductory skill is fully charged before switching to Chixia.

Once the stamina gauge is filled, you can unleash a powerful barrage of bullets dealing fusion damage by holding the Resonance skill. After using at least 30 bullets, you can use the basic attack for a finishing blow that will end this mode. Then return to using basic attacks and the Resonance skill to recharge the stamina gauge and repeat the cycle.

If you plan to use Chixia in the long term, you should try to obtain her duplicates. This will allow you to unlock nodes in her resonance chain, especially the fourth node. This bonus will instantly fill your thermobaric bullets and reset the cooldown of her resonance skill when using Chixia's resonance release, significantly enhancing her ability to deal consistent and powerful damage.
