Massive details for Wuthering Waves 2.8 banners are out, including Chisa’s leaked kit, team options, and banner phases. With her drip marketing officially revealed, the leaks give a clear idea of how she might fit into upcoming teams and how the next update’s structure could look.
Chisa’s Role and Weapon in Wuthering Waves 2.8
Chisa will be introduced in Phase 1 of version 2.8 alongside Phoebe. She’s expected to be a Havoc-type support who uses a broadblade—an unusual weapon that can transform like scissors or even a chainsaw during combat. Her kit focuses on a “Havoc Bane” system, working similarly to Aero Erosion but built for the Havoc element. It can stack up to two times, and at full stacks, it deals continuous Havoc damage.
Chisa’s main strength lies in her supportive mechanics. She heals allies, buffs their overall damage, and adds off-field damage while maintaining her role as a buffer and healer. She’s designed to fit well with DOT (damage-over-time) based characters and seems to strengthen teams that rely on sustained elemental pressure rather than burst rotations.
Team Synergy and Core Combos
Leaked data suggests Chisa fits best in Cartethyia–Ciaccona teams, replacing Aero Rover in the third slot. This setup allows her to provide off-field Havoc damage and enhance team damage for both Ciaccona and Cartethyia. She’s also expected to synergize well with Phoebe and Zani, which may revitalize Mono Spectro team compositions that fell behind after Augusta’s release.
Augusta’s F2P-friendly flexibility made her a strong pick, but Chisa’s healing and Havoc-based buffs could restore balance. She might also open new Havoc-based compositions, possibly alongside Galbrena and Phrolova. While early leaks hint at Echo-based damage synergy, these claims are unconfirmed and should be treated cautiously until beta testing begins.
Phase 2: Phrolova and Cantarella Arrive
The second phase of Wuthering Waves 2.8 banners is rumored to feature two additional Havoc units — Phrolova and Cantarella. Both are expected to complement Chisa’s mechanics. Phrolova may amplify Havoc resonance output, while Cantarella might introduce DOT synergy for more persistent Havoc field setups. If these leaks hold true, version 2.8 could mark a meta shift toward multi-layered Havoc team compositions.

With three potential Havoc supports or hybrids in the same update, players may see the return of Mono Havoc as a strong archetype. Chisa’s rumored Echo interactions also suggest that resonance modifiers may play a major role in upcoming builds.
