Chixia builds and strategies in Wuthering Waves

Chixia builds in Wuthering Waves

Chixia is one of the first heroes players meet in The Wuthering Waves. She wields a powerful pistol and joins the team at no cost. This guide reveals the strongest builds for Chixia and explains all skills and the best teammate combinations for use in the party.

Dear Chixia builds in strangling waves

Chixia may not seem like the strongest partner early in the journey, but fully leveling her unlocks a reliable DPS option for late game. It makes sense to start with her while tougher resonators appear on the roster. Below are top builds for this heroine, covering weapons, echoes and recommended teammates.

Best weapon for Chixia

Static Fog is a coveted five star pistol that raises Chixia’s critical hit rate and boosts energy regeneration. Since her best phase is the early game, this weapon can be hard to obtain for new players. A four star alternative, Lightning Strike, remains viable. It increases the Resonance skill damage bonus up to three times by 7 percent on basic or heavy hits, a pattern you will rely on with this character.

Best basic echo

Echo Inferno Rider fits Chixia perfectly. It enables a sequence of hits dealing fusion damage while increasing the character’s own damage and base attack. This makes it the best choice for this hero in most situations.

Best echo for the effect

In the early game, maximizing Chixia’s damage is crucial. The Molten Rift kit is ideal, especially as a full five piece set. It raises fusion damage by 30 percent after using the Resonance skill, allowing the heroine to maintain high output for an extended run. It is best to focus exclusively on Molten Rift rather than mixing other effects.

Best units with Chixia

• Robber, Sanhua, Taoqi
• Baizhi, Verina
• Chixia

Chixia functions best as the main DPS at lower levels. Early on, when resonators are scarce, a solid team is Chixia paired with Rover as another fighter and Baizhi as a supporting character, both obtainable through the main story. If resources allow later, consider swapping Baizhi for a five star Verina and Rover for another sub-DPS such as Sanhua or Taoqi to build a stronger, balanced squad. This setup keeps Chixia central to the battle while boosting team performance.

• Rover starts the fight and powers Concert Energy until the resonator icons activate.
• When Chixia is fully charged, swap positions with Rover. Rover’s Time Stop finishing move slows time for three seconds.
• Use the Resonance skill while held to deal damage. Finish enemies with the Ultimate if needed and if available, and use an Echo when off cooldown.
• Return to Rover once Concert Energy is full. If healing is required, switch with the healer and use their skills to restore health quickly.
• Repeat until the enemy falls.

Active skills

Basic attack fires up to four shots in succession that deal fusion damage. Heavy attacks enter an aimed mode with more powerful shots. A fully charged shot also deals fusion damage. An air attack requires stamina and allows damage to be dealt in the air. A basic attack after a successful dodge also harms the target. The Resonance Skill fires a series of shots that deal fusion damage, followed by the Resonant Release which quickly hits nearby enemies. The Introductory Skill has Chixia firing two pistols at nearby targets, while the Outro Skill releases a shockwave centered on the target, dealing fusion damage to nearby foes. The damage scales with Chixia’s attack stat.

Passive skills

Forte Circuit lets Chixia hold up to 60 thermobaric bullets earned through basic attacks, her starting ability and resonance. The Scorching Magazine can raise the maximum by 10. When Whistling Morale mode activates, Chixia enters a DAKA DAKA state where thermobaric bullets deal damage. If 30 bullets are fired during the initial attack, the Resonance skill activates and the mode ends when bullets run out. As a bonus, using the Resonance ability adds fusion damage.

• Innate gains increase the maximum bullets by 10 and boost Resonance damage by 50 percent.
• Each thermobaric bullet that hits during DAKA DAKA increases attack damage by 1 percent for 10 seconds, stacking up to 30 times.

Resonant circuit skills

1. First node – Hero Game Fan: Chixia’s Resonance is always a critical hit.
2. Second node – Bouncing Glitter: Gains 5 Resonance Energy whenever a target is defeated during Resonance Release, up to four times per release.
3. Third node – Eternal Flame: Resonant Liberation deals 40 percent more damage to targets below half health.
4. Fourth node – Hero’s Key Move: Resonance Release grants 60 thermobaric bullets and resets Resonance cooldown.
5. Fifth node – Triumphal Explosions: When the innate Stunningly Sharp! stacks max out, attack increases by another 30 percent.
6. Sixth node – Easter Egg Presentation: Resonance increases base attack damage bonus for all teammates for 15 seconds.

Chixia’s strengths and weaknesses

Advantages:

1. Simple and easy to use.
2. Deals substantial damage.
3. Easy to master combos.
4. The ultimate ability works well against large groups.
5. High mobility.

Disadvantages:

1. Resonance output cannot be maximized against bosses.
2. Staying alive requires constant movement and timely dodges.
3. Some skills cannot be used if the Resonance cost is not available.

Play as Chixia in Wuthering Waves

Chixia is a fusion resonator built to deliver peak damage. The focus is on boosting fusion and critical damage. If Chixia appears with S1, emphasis on critical damage helps since Resonance tends to land many critical hits at this level.

Chixia shines in combat when players rely on skill based play. To maximize fusion damage, it helps to develop her basic skill first, then exploit strong chaining and resonance skills.

1. Basic Skill: the main damage source to develop first.
2. Strong chain: key for consistent damage and efficiency.
3. Resonance: adds extra damage and improves other skills.

Focusing on these areas unlocks Chixia’s potential and makes her a formidable battlefield presence.

As a pistol user, Chixia excels at ranged combat. Mastering the Forte Circuit is essential, though the system may feel tricky at first.

Initial steps involve repeating basic attacks and the Resonance skill to max the power meter. Those attacks generate thermobaric bullets used in the power cycle. It helps to wait until the Intro skill is fully charged before switching back to Chixia.

With a full Toughness Gauge, players can unleash a potent bullet barrage that deals fusion damage while sustaining the Resonance skill. After expending at least 30 bullets, a basic attack can end this mode, then the cycle resumes with basic attacks and the Resonance skill to recharge the gauge.

For long term use of Chixia, obtaining duplicates unlocks resonant circuit nodes, especially the fourth node. This bonus instantly replenishes thermobaric bullets and resets the Resonance Skill cooldown when using Resonance Release, greatly boosting steady, powerful damage output.
