Yes for Havoc team thread / amp—Chisa buffs nearby Havoc cores. Liberation “Moment of Nihility” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto. Best with Camellya / Roccia / Cantarella. Resonant Thread value collapses if nobody nearby deals Havoc damage. Skip when Havoc coverage is already finished without her seat.

Strengths

  • Liberation “Moment of Nihility” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto — that window is where Chisa’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Sight of Unraveling - Oblivion” enters the Burnout State and exits Chainsaw Mode, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
  • Dodge Counter recoveries let you rejoin the combo after a mistimed i-frame.

Weaknesses

  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Moment of Nihility” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
  • Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.
