Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong free main DPS, including full copies being obtainable without spending
High damage ceiling when Grain is managed properly
Can stay active while swapping characters during her multi-cast Redirect Skill sequence
Awakening and Resonance improve both Grain generation and damage conversion.
Deals a lot of damage.
Shop management buffs.
Cons
Mechanically complex, especially around Grain timing and Grain Market optimization.
A bit of a selfish DPS.
Review
Chiz is a Cosmo Attribute character with a damage role who is completely free, including her copies. This review will reflect that. She is one of the more complicated characters in the game, but she is a strong damage dealer.
To keep things as clear as possible, I will try not to overwhelm you with various term names and will focus on their effects, though I will still need to mention multiple terms.
She basically relies on a mechanic called Grain. How do you get it? Through basic attacks (or even the held variant, which can devour small mobs), you gain it. You also gain Fons alongside that (yes, the currency). Grain is consumed when you use your held Redirect Skill: Pink Paws Priority Principle, and you deal damage depending on how much Grain you have.
When you use your Ultimate: Zero-Sum Game to enter what is called the Grain Market, you will see a visual indicator at the bottom middle of the screen. It looks like a stock market chart, and that is the Grain Price. It will fluctuate, meaning you want to make sure you hit the highest value on the chart so that you can gain the most Grain for powerful skill attacks when your Grain is at its peak.
Her Redirect Skill can also be charged up to 3 stacks, and if you press it consecutively, you will sequentially cast Redirect Skill: No Grain, Redirect Skill: Half Grain, and Redirect Skill: Full Grain, up to 3 consecutive casts. You can switch characters while this is happening, and Chiz will still remain on the field until the attack finishes.
Let's talk about her awakenings also since they're all free.
Chiz’s Awakening and Resonance improve her Grain system in multiple ways. Some increase max Grain or start her with it already built, while others boost how fast she generates it during combat. A few improve overall efficiency, making her build Grain more smoothly. On the damage side, they strengthen how Grain converts into Cosmos damage, and her Resonance also adds extra Grain gain and a Cosmos resistance debuff on enemies, boosting both her damage and team value.
Chiz is a main DPS whose passives support that role. Hanahaki provides Charge to the active character, which is usually herself, while Hoarding increases her Charge efficiency so she can stockpile it while on the field. She is a selfish DPS built around managing her own Grain economy. She works best with teammates who can provide buffs without depending on Charge.

Teams & Synergy
Synergies
- A great choice for any character that they can cause an Esper Cycle with due to their Instant Cycle on their Skill.
- Provides good cycle damage when built with Cycle Intensity.
- Can be built to be a semi-sustain in Charge team setups or with the Arc “Your Happiness is Priceless”.
- Deals damage from off-field and buff’s the on-field character’s attack with her signature Arc, which is great when paired with any main DPS unit.
- Buffs the team’s attack after using her Ultimate and Crit DMG when she has all 6 Awakenings active.
- A strong choice even when there’s no opportunity to create an Esper Cycle.
- Provides healing to the team.
- Can participate in the Blossom or Remora reaction for Charge.
- Can give an attack buff on his Ultimate when using the Speedy Hedgehog set, and provide additional defense to characters standing in his ult with his awakening “Visitor from Planet Curiosity”.
- A strong option for AoE content due to her ability to gather enemies easily with her Skill.
- Can utilize Chiz for the Blossom reaction.
- A good dual DPS option when playing Chiz as a Sub DPS, as they would want more field time than her.
- Can create the Blossom reaction with Chiz.
- Can apply Remora, which will lead to the Charge reaction becoming available.
- Can be used in a dual dps comp with Chiz in a Charge team setup for higher Ultimate uptime.
- Extends Remora duration to 12 seconds, allowing for more Charge procs; and provides a crit buff when attacking targets with Remora.
Teams
Charge Team
This team utilizes Charge to spread the Ultimate energy across multiple teammates for high Ultimate uptime on everyone.
Chiz Hypercarry Team
This team focuses on setting up Haniel’s buffs for Chiz’s on field time and using Charge to refill Haniel’s Ultimate. It also happens to excel in AoE damage just by the nature of all of the characters on the team having great AoE.
Awakening & Calculations
Awakening Review
In NTE, you can freely choose Awakening Effects, so you are not forced to unlock them in a specific order, and you can unselect them at any time.
Awakening order of importance:
Fireworks in Silence (A2) > To Riccitali, Bandage, Fons (A4) > Sun, Sun — speak to me! (A1) ≈ Blank Diary Pages (A5) > If There Were No Rainy Days (A3) ≈ Thirty-Three Days (A6)
As Chiz is completely free including her copies, you'll likely be getting all her Awakenings anyway.
Fireworks in Silence (A2) generates Grain passively while in Surplus state, meaning your damage resource keeps building even without active input, which directly feeds into how hard her Redirect Skill hits. To Riccitali, Bandage, Fons (A4) makes Grain acquisition faster. Sun, Sun — speak to me! (A1) lets her hold more Grain at once, while Blank Diary Pages (A5) starts every combat with a full storage, skipping the buildup phase entirely. The rest are good too, with If There Were No Rainy Days (A3) boosting Grain spike chance. Thirty-Three Days (A6) gives additional Cosmos Damage.
We're still working on Chiz's calculations, so the priority might change - we will update the section as soon as possible.

Chiz’s signature Arc, providing her with up to 45% Cosmos damage when reaching M5. In order to maximize the effect of this Arc, players need to hold on to 1 million Fons.
