Wuthering Waves Chixia is a bright and bubbly girl you meet as soon as you step into Rover’s shoes. She introduces Rover to the world around them with the help of Yangyang, and she’s a capable damage dealer who is likely a staple member of everyone’s teams – at least for the first few levels.

Here’s everything in our Wuthering Waves Chixia guide:
What’s the best Wuthering Waves Chixia build?
Chixia is a four-star resonator that uses pistols and the fusion element. Here are the weapons, echoes, and stats we recommend you use when using Chixia:
| Element | Fusion |
| Rarity | Four-star |
| Role | DPS |
| Best weapon | Static Mist |
| Best echo set | Molten rift |
| Best echo | Inferno Rider |
| Main stats | Fusion damage bonus, crit rate, crit damage, attack |
Jinzhou Patroller, Chixia, is an easy-investment DPS who dishes out plenty of fusion damage. The best build for her uses the Static Mist pistols with a full set of molten rift echoes, with a fusion damage bonus echo in the mix.
In terms of teammates, as you get Chixia at the beginning of the game, we recommend her with Rover and Yangyang. If you have Changli, you can use them both in a dual DPS team for maximum fusion damage.
What’s the best weapon for Chixia?
The best weapon for Chixia is Static Mist, purely for its main and sub-stats as a five-star weapon. It’s currently the only five-star pistol in the game, so that means it’s hard to come across, so we’ve also included some great four-star options.
| Static Mist | Stat: Crit rate Effect: Increases energy regeneration by 12.8%. When Chixia casts her outro skill, her attack increases by 10%. This effect lasts for 14 seconds |
Standard weapon banner |
| Thunderbolt | Stat: Attack Effect: Chixia’s resonance skill damage increases when hitting a target with basic or heavy attacks. This can stack up to three times, lasts for ten seconds, and can trigger once every second |
All banners |
| Undying Flame | Stat: Attack Effect: When Chixia uses her intro skill, her resonance skill damage bonus increases by 20% for 15 seconds |
All banners |
| Novaburst | Stat: Attack Effect: Increases Chixia’s attack by 4% when she dashes or dodges. This can stack three times and lasts for eight seconds |

What’s the best Chixia team comp?
Chixia is your main DPS in any team comp, so you’re best off slotting her in a team with a healer and a buffer if you can.
The best synergies for Chixia are:
- Wuthering Waves Changli – you can easily use Changli in a duo DPS comp with Chixia to ensure plenty of fusion damage all the time. They can both remain on field or safely take a break to let the other shine. Changli’s outro skill also buffs Chixia’s fusion damage.
- Wuthering Waves Verina or Baizhi – as always, if you need a healer, we recommend Baizhi or Verina. Really, it depends on who you have and who you prefer using, though Verina provides more buffs without as many wavebands unlocked.
Here’s our recommendation for the best Chixia team comp:
 Chixia |
 Changli |
 Verina |
What are the best echoes for Chixia?
Here are the echo sets we recommend for Chixia:
- Five-piece set: Molten rift
- Two-piece sets: Molten rift, lingering tunes
The best echo set for Chixia is a five-piece set of molten rift echoes. A full set provides two fusion damage bonuses as she uses her resonance skill, which matches very well as that’s where a lot of her damage comes from.
The best main echo to equip Chixia with is the Inferno Rider as it deals plenty of damage while you’re in the Rider state, and also increases her fusion damage after the fact. If you haven’t got a full set (or a good set) of molten rift, you can mix and match with a two-piece set of moonlit clouds for energy regeneration, or lingering tunes to boost her attack.
| Inferno Rider | Transform into the Inferno Rider to perform consecutive strikes, dealing fusion damage. This increases Chixia’s fusion damage and basic attack damage |
Stat recommendations
Remember to look at the main and sub-stats of each echo – here are the stats you should aim for:
Main stats
- Crit rate/damage
- Fusion damage bonus
- Attack
Sub-stats
- Crit rate/damage
- Attack
- Energy regeneration
- Resonance liberation damage

What are Chixia’s skills?
Chixia’s kit is all about using her pistols to hit enemies with plenty of fusion damage. Her resonance skill has a couple of upgrades that ensure she deals more damage at any given time, so make sure you read up and figure out when her boosts come into play.
Active skills
| Basic attack | POW POW Chixia fires up to four consecutive shots that deal fusion damage |
| Heavy attack | Chixia enters aiming mode and fires a charged shot, dealing fusion damage |
| Mid-air attack | Consuming stamina, Chixia shoots consecutive shots while in mid-air |
| Dodge counter | Using a basic attack after a successful dodge attacks the target with fusion damage |
| Resonance skill | Whizzing Fight Spirit Chixia unleashes a flurry of shots dealing fusion damage. This move initially has two charges |
| Resonance liberation | Blazing Flames Chixia fires fast shots at nearby enemies, dealing fusion damage |
| Outro skill | Leaping Flames Chixia releases a shockwave around the target, dealing 530% of her attack as fusion damage to targets within the attack’s range |
Passive skills
| Intro skill | Grand Entrance Chixia makes a heroic entrance and fires rapidly with dual pistols at targets |

| Forte circuit | Power Shift Resonance skill – DAKA DAKA! Hold Chixia’s resonance skill to enter the DAKA DAKA state. In this state, Chixia consumes Thermobaric Bullets to deal damage that counts as resonance skill damage. If she uses 30 Thermobaric Bullets while her basic attack is active, she casts resonance skill Boom Boom and terminates DAKA DAKA. She exits the DAKA DAKA state when all Bullets get used Resonance skill – Boom Boom Chixia deals fusion damage which counts as resonance skill damage Thermobaric Bullets Chixia can hold up to 60 Bullets. She gains them for every normal attack that hits, and when she uses her intro skill or resonance skill |
Inherent skills
| Scorching Magazine | The maximum number of Thermobaric Bullets Chixia can hold increases by ten. The damage of her skill Boom Boom increases by 50% |
| Numbingly Spicy! | Each Thermobaric Bullet that hits a target during skill DAKA DAKA, increases Chixia’s attack by 1% for ten seconds. This can stack up to 30 times |
Skill priority
When thinking about upgrading Chixia’s skills, we recommend the following order of priority:
- Forte circuit > resonance liberation > resonance skill > normal attack > intro skill
