Lisa

Electro Catalyst Tier A DPS
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Lisa worth building?

Lisa is a free character everyone owns, and in an Aggravate team with Nahida she performs far better than people expect thanks to her DEF shred and fast Electro application. She isn't top tier, so don't stress: a 4-star The Widsith or the craftable Flowing Purity is enough, no 5-star required. To make her really shine, take her to level 90 and prioritize 4pc Thundering Fury plus crit stats. A budget-friendly pick well worth investing in if you lack an Electro DPS.

Lisa's talents

Lightning Touch
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 lightning attacks that deal Electro DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Electro DMG after a short casting time.

Plunging Attack
Gathering the might of Electro, Lisa plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Electro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Violet Arc
#Channels the power of lightning to sweep bothersome matters away.

Press
Releases a homing Lightning Orb.
On hit, it deals Electro DMG and applies a stack of the Conductive status (max 3 stacks) to opponents in a small AoE.

Hold
After an extended casting time, calls down lightning from the heavens, dealing massive Electro DMG to all nearby opponents.
Deals great amounts of extra damage to opponents based on the number of Conductive stacks applied to them, and clears their Conductive status.

Electro Purple is the raiment of the Witch of Purple Rose.
Lightning Rose
Summons a Lightning Rose that unleashes powerful lightning bolts, launching surrounding opponents and dealing Electro DMG.
The Lightning Rose will continuously emit lightning to knock back opponents and deal Electro DMG throughout the ability's duration.

This rose is beautiful, but beware its mortal thorns.
Induced Aftershock
Hits by Charged Attacks apply Violet Arc's Conductive status to opponents.
Static Electricity Field
Opponents hit by Lightning Rose have their DEF decreased by 15% for 10s.
General Pharmaceutics
When Lisa crafts a potion, she has a 20% chance to refund a portion of the crafting materials used.

Combat Rotation

  1. Tap Skill "Violet Arc" repeatedly (press CD only 1s) to stack 3 layers of Conductive on the enemy.
  2. Hold the Skill to detonate all Conductive stacks, unleashing a massive Electro burst.
  3. Cast Burst "Lightning Rose" (costs 80 energy) to summon the Lightning Rose, shredding enemy DEF by 15% for 10s.
  4. While the DEF shred is active, swap to your main DPS to dump damage during that 10s window.
  5. Have Lisa fall back and use a Charged Attack, which auto-applies Conductive stacks for the next Hold combo.
  6. Wait for the Hold Skill (16s CD) and Burst (20s CD) to come back up, then repeat from step 1.
  7. Lisa functions as a support/sub-DPS who shreds DEF and deals AoE Electro damage, not a main carry — prioritize Energy Recharge to spam Burst more often.

Birthday

Here, take this amulet, it will bring you good luck. It's my birthday gift to you. I spent a long time making it, so don't lose it now!

Self-Introduction

Hello

Hi darling, are you going to be Lisa's little helper? What? Me, a grand mage? That was a long time ago, I'm just a humble librarian now. *chuckles* Don't worry darling, I'll take very good care of you. So...

About Lisa

I'm not lazy, I just know to save my energy for when I need it most.

More About Lisa: I

So, which element would you like to learn about today?

More About Lisa: II

My past? So, you want to get to know me a little better, huh? *chuckles* That's a story for another day. But I'm touched that you asked.

More About Lisa: III

When I taught Razor how to utilize Elemental Energy, I never expected him to master the technique so quickly. Come to think of it, you're talented too. Maybe I could teach you a few tricks...

More About Lisa: IV

What's that? You want to learn some Sumeru Akademiya magic? I'm afraid it might be a bit too much for you to handle right now... Hmm, though I suppose it can't hurt to teach you some of the basics. Here, start by reading the beginner's guide, it's only 800 pages or so.

More About Lisa: V

A Vision may seem like a great tool, but one day, the power one accumulates always finds a way to turn back on you. Should such a day come for me, so long as you're around... Ah, never mind.

About Us: Relationships

I can be your teacher, your master, or your friend... or all three if you want...

About Us: Capabilities

Let me show you a thing or two, lest we let your efforts go to waste. *chuckles*

About Us: Ceremony

Wait, one last thing... A kiss on the forehead from master to follower. Now you're my star pupil.

Thoughts About Other Characters

Jean

Jean is a gifted and dedicated leader. Seeing how hard she works makes even me want to help her out.

Amber

Amber was just a young girl when she joined the knights, and in the blink of an eye, she's turned into such a strong young lady. I'm curious to see what she'll be like a few years from now.

Barbara

Have you heard Barbara sing before? Her angelic voice contains a magical healing energy. A different kind of magical energy from the one in my potions, of course. I wonder which one you prefer?

Diluc

You want to know about Diluc? Haha, in that case, I know someone else you should talk to.

Razor

Come on Razor, that's it, good boy! Let's do some combat practice — I've found you the perfect partner. Hey! Come back!

Klee

Last time little Klee wanted to use my workshop for her experiments, I had to say no, and she was angry at me for the rest of the day. *sigh* What happened the next day, you ask? She went off happily to play outside of course.

Mona

As for Mona? She seems to be an excellent mage, but I'm not a part of their Hexenzirkel. The idea of Irminsul exploration and formal tea parties just leaves me cold.

Albedo

Albedo is quite the alchemist. Just say the word and he'll come up with a good solution. He's easy on the eyes too, just like you.

Fischl

Fischl, yes, she's always in the library looking to borrow fantasy novels. She always returns her books three days early and looks after them very well. She's a good kid.

Noelle

Every time I ask Noelle to dust off the bookshelves, I'm always left with the sense that the more exhausted I make her, the happier she becomes. Yes, who knows what's going on with her... *chuckles*

Sucrose

Try not to bother Sucrose if you're at a loose end, you'll only startle the poor girl. She's gifted at interacting with all sorts of exotic creatures — just hopeless when it comes to humans.

Cyno

I've barely kept in touch with anyone from the Akademiya since leaving Sumeru, except for the occasional letters to my teachers out of basic courtesy. Fortunately, not every promising student turned out as lazy as I am... I heard that one of my juniors, Cyno, now leads quite the action-packed life.

Collei

Ah, dear little Collei. Every time she writes to me, she tries out new words and expressions she's learned recently... Hehe, no wonder she's improving so quickly. That wonderful and warmhearted master of hers must have helped a lot too.

Mika

I do rather envy Huffman for having such a caring little brother. Mika takes care of everything around the house and even looks after him when he's drunk... Ah, how nice it must be to lounge around all day without a care in the world... Hmm? What do you mean, I already do that? You're getting quite bold these days, aren't you, cutie?

Prune

Little cutey Prune... Did you know she likes obscure, arcane books? Whenever I get close or give her a smile, she starts squirming like a Glaze Medaka. Hehe, it's so utterly adorable! I'm glad I'm not the "witch" she's hunting — I don't know what I'd do with such a serious little slip on my case.

Hobbies & Personality

Lisa's Hobbies

Hey darling, would you like to try one of my magic potions? There's no knowing what it will do to you until you try it, though... Don't say I didn't warn you!

Lisa's Troubles

The interrogation room upstairs has sat there unused for two years now... It would be a much more lively place if Hertha would agree to let me use it as my private workshop... *sigh* She's such a spoilsport.

Favorite Food

I like making my own vegetable soup. I put a big bunch of vegetables into a cauldron and stir it with a long spoon. What does it taste like? Here, why don't you try it for yourself. Open wide!

Least Favorite Food

I suffer from extreme pumpkinphobia. The fall harvest is a difficult time of year for me, as you can imagine. I wonder if it would be worth the trouble to make all the pumpkins in the world disappear...

Feelings About Ascension

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

Surely you don't want me working overtime... That would be no good.

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

Chances to practice should be left to you newcomers, no?

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

*chuckles* If I were to recover my full power, who knows what kind of things might happen?

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

I've already tried to persuade you every way possible... *sigh* Have it your way, cutie. I can no longer go on pretending at this point — even a Hilichurl would see through the act. So be it, let me introduce you to the true Witch of Purple Rose.

Receiving a Gift

Receiving a Gift: I

Oh aren't you just the sweetest? Thanks, cutie, you just made my day.

Receiving a Gift: II

Hehe, you've really got a knack for this, haven't you?

Receiving a Gift: III

Eugh... Oh my... This is really... hmm...

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths
  • At Lv90, Lisa already gets +96% Elemental Mastery baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
  • Has crowd-control (knockback/pull/freeze/stun…) via Lightning Rose.
  • 4★ (Catalyst) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
  • The Normal Attack (via Lightning Touch) already deals innate Electro DMG from the start — no need to wait on the Elemental Skill to apply the element.
Weaknesses
  • The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
