Should You Pull?YES

Lisa is one of the original 4-star characters of Genshin Impact. Violet Arc applies Conductive stacks and Electro Damage. Lisa is worth pulling if you want Violet Arc on the account.

Lisa is one of the original 4-star characters of Genshin Impact. She has long been a puzzling character, as her toolkit was confusing and did not fit many teams. However, the addition of Dendro has made Lisa a fantastic options as an on-field driver or an off-field reaction support. She offers an exceptional Electro Aura on the field and can shred enemy defenses as well as being a potentially strong Electro on-field DPSer with the right investment.

Dendro Spreader

Sustain

This Hyperbloom team is going to use Xingqiu as a Hydro spreader with his quick recharge on his Elemental skill and Burst to combine with our Dendro users. Nahida will typically be in a fast swap roll, and Dendro Traveler will be our main on-field character.

Character Synergy
O
Off-fielderMain DPS

Lisa's Burst provides long-duration, off-field Electro application that triggers Hyperbloom cores generated by the Hydro and Dendro teammates. Her DEF-shred passive also increases the raw damage dealt by the entire team.

MD
Main DPSSupport

In this setup, the Main DPS drives the Hydro or Dendro application to ensure a constant supply of Bloom cores for Lisa to trigger. Their on-field presence coordinates the team's elemental reactions into a cohesive damage loop.

HS
Hydro SpreaderSupport

The Hydro Spreader applies the Hydro element necessary to react with Dendro, creating the Bloom cores that fuel the Hyperbloom reaction. Their consistent application ensures that the seed production never stalls during Lisa's Burst.

DS
Dendro SpreaderSustain

The Dendro Spreader provides the essential Dendro aura to facilitate Bloom reactions while offering healing or shielding to sustain the team. This dual role ensures both reaction consistency and party survivability against Bloom's self-damage.
