Best Chiz build

Role

Main DPS / a unique on-field Cosmos DPS (Cosmos element, class FOUR). Farms Fons while attacking; gains up to 50% Cosmos DMG from his Bonus Module alone, freeing gear budget for CRIT.

A free S-Rank (unlocked through City Tycoon progress): Japanese lists put her in the S group, and Western sources rate her very high at higher awakenings. A strong on-field Cosmos DPS, slightly niche because she's tied to Fons farming.

2Cosmos Daze, Wild Reverie A-rank alternative (class FOUR) with the same Cosmos direction.
3Be Happy A workable B-rank option (class FOUR) when lacking a better Arc.

Best module sets

4-pc Lost Radiance Cosmos DMG +10% plus ignore 25% DEF after Ultimate — the optimal set for a Cosmos DPS.

The best pick is Contemplative Cat — Signature Arc (class FOUR matches Chiz): boosts Cosmos DMG by up to 25%, FREE at T5 via City Tycoon (needs ~1 million Fons total to max). If unavailable, use Cosmos Daze, Wild Reverie instead: A-rank alternative (class FOUR) with the same Cosmos direction.
