Chiya Build Guide

Chiya

Rogue class icon
Sapphire
SSR Ice Rogue DPS

Chiya is a mob slayer who goes off when she kills enemies. After killing a mob, she enters [Focus] state and gains an Enhanced Ultimate with guaranteed 100% crit rate. This makes her a monster at clearing waves of enemies - each kill fuels the next. However, she struggles against bosses since she can't trigger [Focus] state without kills. Best used in stages with multiple enemies where she can snowball her damage.

Team Synergy

Good Teammates:

Naiya, Morgan - both together are nice or either of them.

The problem with Chiya is she needs a team built around her and specific maps with lots of mobs to be effective. Her 100% crit rate only activates when SHE gets the kill or if you have Awakening 1 (which gives one Enhanced Ultimate at battle start). Without kills, she takes time to snowball and become effective. Honestly, there are many other DPS options that are more consistent and easier to use.
