The excitement for Wuthering Waves Version 2.8 is at an all-time high, especially with the confirmed debut of Chisa, the new 5-star Broadblade wielder. Her striking design and anticipated power have many Rovers eager to add her to their teams. Getting a new character to level 90 on day one is a satisfying feeling, but it requires some serious preparation. That's where this guide comes in. We've compiled all the information you need for the easiest Chisa prefarm journey, ensuring you're ready the moment her banner drops in 2025.

Chisa's Ascension Materials: A Quick Checklist

First things first, let's get Chisa ascended. You'll need to gather a new local specialty, a new boss drop, and a familiar assortment of enemy materials. Focusing on these will be the foundation of your prefarm efforts.

• Wintry Bell: This new local specialty is found exclusively in the Gorges of Spirits, particularly around the Tolling Stream. For the most efficient farming route, simply teleport to the Resonance Nexus in the area and follow the cliff edges. These glowing blue flowers are often found in clusters, making them relatively quick to collect. Mark your map as you go! 🗺️

• Curse of the Abyss: This is a brand-new boss material dropped by the Threnodian Leviathan. As a weekly boss, you should prioritize fighting it as soon as the update drops to maximize your rewards. Make sure you have a solid team ready to take on this formidable new foe.

• Polygon Cores: You'll need a large quantity of these from defeating Sentry-type enemies. The required amounts are:

  • LF Polygon Core x29

  • MF Polygon Core x40

  • HF Polygon Core x51

  • FF Polygon Core x61

• Shell Credits: A total of 1,700,000 Shell Credits are needed just for ascensions. Don't forget to farm the Simulation Training for credits whenever you have spare Waveplates.

Powering Up Chisa's Skills: Forte Materials

Ascending Chisa is only half the battle; leveling up her Forte (skills) is what truly unlocks her potential. This is often the most resource-intensive part of any character build, so starting your prefarm early is crucial. The material requirements below are for leveling all three of her main skills to max.

Material	Total Required
Curse of the Abyss	26
Waveworn Residue 210	25
Waveworn Residue 226	28
Waveworn Residue 235	55
Waveworn Residue 239	67
LF Polygon Core	25
MF Polygon Core	28
HF Polygon Core	40
FF Polygon Core	57
Shell Credit	2,030,000

As you can see, you'll need even more Polygon Cores and another huge sum of Shell Credits. The Waveworn Residue items are farmed from the Forgery Challenge: Eroded Ruins domain, so be prepared to spend a good amount of your Waveplates there.

Forging Chisa's Signature Weapon

For those Rovers planning to go all-in and acquire Chisa's signature Broadblade, you'll need an additional set of materials to level it up. While not essential for every player, having these ready will give you a significant power boost from the start.

• Whisperin Cores: These are farmed from the Forgery Challenge: Misty Forest domain.

  • LF Whisperin Core x6

  • MF Whisperin Core x6

  • HF Whisperin Core x10

  • FF Whisperin Core x12

• Waveworn Residue: You'll need some extras here as well.

  • Waveworn Residue 210 x6

  • Waveworn Residue 226 x8

  • Waveworn Residue 235 x6

  • Waveworn Residue 239 x20

The Easiest Prefarm Strategy

Feeling overwhelmed? Don't be. Here's the simplest way to tackle this Wuthering Waves easiest chisa prefarm guide.

1. Prioritize Time-Gated Content: As soon as Version 2.8 launches, your first priority should be defeating the Threnodian Leviathan. Since you can only claim rewards from it once a week, you need every chance you can get to collect the Curse of the Abyss.

2. Efficient Specialty Farming: Dedicate a few minutes every two days to run through the Gorges of Spirits for Wintry Bells. They respawn 48 hours after being picked, so a consistent routine is key.

3. Passive Enemy Farming: Integrate your Polygon Core farming into your daily routine. Hunt Sentry mechs while exploring, completing daily quests, or on your way to other objectives. This feels less like a grind and more like a natural part of playing.

4. Save Your Waveplates: In the week leading up to Chisa's release, start saving your Waveplates. Once she arrives, you can spend them all on the Forgery Challenge domains to quickly gather the Waveworn Residue and Whisperin Cores you need.

By following these steps, you'll have a stockpile of materials ready for Chisa without feeling burnt out. Good luck with your prefarm, Rover, and may your pulls be golden! ✨
