Lisa
Who is Lisa?
Lisa is a 4★ Electro Catalyst character from Mondstadt, the Librarian of the Knights of Favonius and Sumeru Akademiya's most distinguished graduate in 200 years. Rated B-tier overall (C Sub-DPS, D Support), her main value lies in her Elemental Burst's built-in DEF shred and her large AoE, which enable off-field Electro application for reaction teams featuring Raiden Shogun, Alhaitham, or Nahida. Her held Elemental Skill applies Conductive stacks, making her Burst hit harder per stack. Source: Game8.

Deploys a rose that zaps nearby enemies repeatedly for 15s, applying Electro and shredding DEF with each hit. Her main damage source and utility tool.

F2P Verdict
Obtained free at story start — no pulling needed.
Hakushin Ring provides Energy Recharge and elemental buffs for reaction teams and is accessible.
Prioritize her Burst first; aim for ~160-180% ER to keep Lightning Rose on cooldown.
Her DEF shred is her most valuable utility — she does not need high personal damage to be useful.
Avoid the hold Skill animation in dangerous content; the tap Skill is safer for generating reactions. Source: Game8.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Lisa have a DEF shred?
Each hit of Lightning Rose applies a stack of the Violet Arc passive; at 3 stacks her Burst shreds enemy DEF, increasing all party members' damage against that enemy. Source: Game8.
What Energy Recharge does Lisa need?
Around 160-180% to use Lightning Rose off cooldown in most teams. Hakushin Ring or Sacrificial Fragments help hit that threshold. Source: Game8.
Is Lisa good in Dendro teams?
Yes — she provides off-field Electro for Quicken, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom reactions, and her DEF shred benefits the whole team. Pair with Nahida or Alhaitham. Source: Game8.
What is Lisa's best free weapon?
Hakushin Ring for reaction teams (ER + elemental DMG after reactions), or Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers if she is purely a buffer who swaps off immediately after deploying her Burst. Source: Game8.
