‍

Complete Guide to Lisa: Best Builds and Team Compositions

Understanding Lisa's Role and Abilities

Normal Attack: Lightning Touch

Consists of a series of up to four lightning attacks, dealing Electro DMG.

Primarily used in on-field DPS roles for consistent Electro application.

Her charged attack releases a bolt of lightning, dealing AOE Electro DMG.

‍

Elemental Skill: Violet Arc

Press‍

Releases a homing Electro orb that deals Electro DMG and applies a conductive status to enemies.

‍

Hold‍

After charging, releases an AOE Electro attack.

Damage and AOE size increase with the number of conductive stacks on enemies.

‍

Up to three conductive stacks can be applied, enhancing the damage of the held skill.

Tapping for quick Electro application or holding for a potent AOE burst, especially useful in reaction-heavy teams.

‍

Elemental Burst: Lightning Rose

Summons a Lightning Rose that unleashes continuous Electro DMG to nearby enemies.

Excellent for crowd control and setting up Electro-related reactions, especially in enclosed spaces or against multiple enemies.

‍

Passive Talents

Induced Aftershock (1st Ascension Passive): Hits by charged attacks apply a stack of a conductive status. At three stacks, enemies have their defense decreased, significantly boosting overall team damage.

Static Electricity Field (4th Ascension Passive): Enemies hit by Lightning Rose have their DEF decreased, synergizing with her role as an Electro enabler.

General Pharmaceutics (Unlocked Automatically): Enhancement of potion crafting is more of a utility outside of combat.

‍

Talent Prioritization

Main DPS Lisa

Elemental Skill: Prioritize this if Lisa is your main Electro DPS. The skill's ability to stack conductive status and deal significant AOE damage makes it central to her damage output.

Normal Attack: Next in line, as her primary source of consistent damage and Electro application when on the field.

Elemental Burst: Although powerful, it serves more as a supplementary damage and crowd control tool in this role, so invest in it last.

‍

Support or Burst DPS Lisa

Elemental Burst: Prioritize this for a support role. The burst provides continuous Electro application, enabling reactions and offering crowd control.

Elemental Skill: Important for its defense reduction capability and additional Electro application. Invest here after the burst.

Normal Attack: Least important for a support role. Only invest if you have spare resources or if she occasionally takes an on-field DPS role.

‍

Mixed Role (Balanced Between DPS and Support)

Elemental Skill & Elemental Burst: Balance investment between these two. Violet Arc for its versatility in both offense and debuff, and Lightning Rose for consistent Electro application and AOE control.

Normal Attack: A lower priority but can be leveled moderately for situations where Lisa stays on-field longer.

Advanced Play Tips

Mastering Elemental Skill Usage

Lisa's Elemental Skill applies conductive stacks to enemies.

Maximizing these stacks before using her held Elemental Skill is crucial for maximizing damage.

‍

Quick Tap vs. Hold‍

Use quick taps of her skill to rapidly apply Electro and build up conductive stacks.

Reserve the hold version for when maximum stacks are achieved or when needing a burst of AOE Electro damage.

‍

Animation Canceling‍

After using her Elemental Skill, immediately use a dash to cancel the animation, allowing for quicker follow-up actions.

‍

Optimizing Elemental Burst

Defense Reduction‍

Lisa's passive talent, induced Aftershock, reduces the defense of enemies hit by her Burst.

Time her Burst just before high-damage attacks from your team for maximum impact.

‍

Field Control‍

Her Burst creates an AOE that continuously deals Electro damage.

Use it to control battlefield areas, especially against groups of enemies.

‍

Strategic Positioning

Despite being a catalyst user, Lisa's skills benefit from being close to the enemy, especially when unleashing her held Elemental Skill.

Use her Burst in conjunction with crowd control abilities from other characters to maximize the number of enemies caught in the AOE.

‍

Energy Management

Her Elemental Skill generates a significant amount of Electro particles, especially when held.

Use this to feed energy to other Electro characters in the team.

Pairing her with another Electro character can help lessen her energy needs, ensuring more frequent use of her Burst.
