Release2.7

Cissia is an Electric Attack Agent who shines as a sub-DPS. Her Venom fuels automatic Corrode Bone hits that deal damage and a surprising amount of Daze, while she gives the squad up to 25% Electric DEF ignore and +40% CRIT DMG. She's the ideal partner for Seed, and ranks T0.5 on Prydwen and Tier 1+ on Game8.

Sub-DPS (Energy Regen / CRIT)

W-Engines

Serpentine Seeker BiS
S · Energy Regen
Best in slot: Energy Regen main stat for her Core Passive, lots of unconditional CRIT Rate and personal DEF ignore that barely ticks down while she's off-field.
CRIT Rate +25%; every 20 Energy spent at once grants 3s (up to 30s) during which Electric DMG ignores 28% of DEF.
Bellicose Blaze
S · Energy Regen
Orphie's signature as a stat stick: S-Rank Energy Regen main stat and unconditional CRIT Rate.
CRIT Rate +20%; Fire Aftershocks make attacks ignore 15% of DEF for 8s, up to 2 stacks.
Drill Rig - Red Axis
A · Energy Regen
Excellent A-Rank: Energy Regen main stat, and its Basic Attack Electric DMG buff covers Corrode Bone. Very close to the S-Rank options.
EX Special or Chain Attacks raise Basic and Dash Attack Electric DMG by 50% for 10s (once every 15s).
Cordis Germina
S · CRIT Rate
Great personal damage, but no Energy Regen: less team DEF ignore. Better on Seed if you play them together.
CRIT Rate +15%; Basic and EX Special Attacks stack Electric DMG +12.5% for 40s (up to 2); at 2 stacks, Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20% of DEF.
Severed Innocence
S · CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG stat stick, fine when teammates provide CRIT Rate.
CRIT DMG +30%, plus up to +30% more from Basic Attack, Special Attack and Aftershock hits; at 3 stacks, Electric DMG +20%.
Marcato Desire
A · CRIT Rate
Game8's A-Rank pick: CRIT Rate main stat and ATK from EX Specials and Chain Attacks.
EX Special Attack and Chain Attack hits raise ATK by 6% for 8s, or 12% if the target suffers an Attribute Anomaly.

Drive Discs

Dawn's Bloom ×4
Swing Jazz ×2
Best all-round set: most of her damage comes from Basic Attacks (Corrode Bone included), and her frequent EX Specials keep the 4-pc up. Moonlight Lullaby also works as the Energy Regen 2-pc.

Teams

Recommended teams

Seed & Astra Yao

Cissia
Seed
Astra Yao

Her most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Seed is her best partner: both are Electric, both shred DEF, and Cissia's Energy and fast burst fit between Seed's enhanced Basic Attacks. Astra's Quick Assists enable Astral Voice. Sunna is an equally strong Support here. Recommended Bangboo: Plugboo.

Mono Electric: Seed & Trigger

Cissia
Seed
Trigger

Game8's main team and her second most used: three Electric Agents means +60% Corrode Bone Daze, and Trigger's signature adds more DEF Shred. Thunder Metal is viable here. Recommended Bangboo: Plugboo.

F2P: Anby & Nicole

Cissia
Anby
Nicole

Game8's free team. Anby is an Electric Stunner, so both Cissia's Additional Ability and her Corrode Bone Daze bonus are active, and Nicole's DEF Shred stacks well with hers (her M6 CRIT Rate helps a lot). Recommended Bangboo: Booressure.

Guide

How to play

Venom and Corrode Bone

  • Venom (max 6): 3 when she enters the battlefield, 2 from the 4th hit of her Basic Attack (Tongue Flick, +1 on a Stunned enemy), 3 from her EX Special (+1 per extra 20 Energy if held), 3 from her Chain Attack and Ultimate.
  • Every 5s she spends 1 Venom to trigger Corrode Bone (Electric DMG, counted as a Basic Attack, +6% CRIT Rate for 15s, up to 3 stacks). Venom gained beyond the cap triggers Corrode Bone right away.
  • She gets 1 Serpentine Shadow on entering the battlefield and 1 more per 6 Venom gained (max 3). Hold Basic Attack to spend one on Serpent's Kiss: a dive that triggers a Quick Assist and consumes all your Venom at once for a burst of Corrode Bone.
  • Corrode Bone deals 40% more Daze with one Electric Agent in the squad, 60% with two.

Team buffs

  • While she has Venom, the squad's Electric DMG ignores 6% of enemy DEF, plus 1% per 0.12 initial Energy Regen above 1.4 (max 25% at 3.68). This lasts 30s after her Venom runs out.
  • Additional Ability (Stun or Electric teammate): while she has Venom, squad CRIT DMG +40% (+50% for her).
  • Her Ultimate activates Ether Veil: Cold-Blooded (+5% squad CRIT DMG for 30s).

Rotation

  1. Swap in, use her EX Special (Venomous Bite, 60 Energy, refunds 5), shortcut into the 4th Basic hit, then Quick Assist back to your main DPS.
  2. Out of Stun, several single EX Specials beat one long held EX.
  3. Keep Energy for the Stun: held EX Special, Ultimate and her Chain Attack overcap Venom, then finish with Serpent's Kiss to cash it all in.
  4. Her burst has many swap points (Quick Assist from her EX, the Serpent's Kiss dive): weave it between your main DPS's attacks.

She can also be played as an on-field DPS: the loop of building and spending Venom stays the same, but she needs her M2 to compete.

Strengths

  • Strong damage for a sub-DPS with little field time.
  • Well-rounded: damage, Decibels and Daze that rivals many Stunners.
  • Big team buffs: Electric DEF ignore and +40% CRIT DMG.
  • Flexible gear, with a strong A-Rank W-Engine option.

Weaknesses

  • Mostly limited to Electric Attack teams, with Seed as her clear best partner.
  • Weaker as a main DPS without Mindscapes.
  • Hard to balance Energy Regen and CRIT Rate without her signature.

Notable dupes · Mindscape Cinema

M1
Big upgrade

Starts with 6 Venom, her DEF ignore rises to 140% of its value, and the squad ignores 5% Electric RES (10% for Corrode Bone). Game8's top Mindscape.

M2
Big upgrade

+3 Venom when her Chain Attack or Ultimate hits a Stunned enemy, and Serpent's Kiss deals 35% more DMG. Game8's stopping point; Prydwen says M2 makes her a top Electric main DPS.

M6
Solid upgrade

Extra Corrode Bone hits triggered by teammates' attacks.
