Wuthering Waves Chisa Materials Guide for Ascension, Forte, and Signature Weapon

Chisa had made a grand entrance as a 5-star Resonator in Wuthering Waves version 2.8. For those lucky enough to pull her, or those currently saving up their Astrite, knowing exactly what to farm is the difference between a character that sits on the bench and a powerhouse that clears endgame content. This guide will walk you through all the materials required to push Chisa to her absolute limits.
Total Materials Required to Max Chisa
If you are the type of player who settles for nothing less than perfection, you will be looking to hit Level 90 and maximize every single Forte node. This is a significant undertaking that requires a diverse array of materials from across the world of Solaris-3. To reach the pinnacle of her power, you will need:
- Polygon Cores: 29 LF, 40 MF, 52 HF, and 61 FF Polygon Cores.
- Boss Materials: 46 Abyssal Husks and 26 When Irises Bloom.
- Regional Specialty: 60 Summer Flowers.
- Waveworn Residue: 25 of 210, 28 of 226, 55 of 235, and 67 of 239.
- Experience & Currency: 122 Premium Resonance Potions and 3,053,300 Shell Credits.

Total Chisa Ascension Materials
Ascending Chisa is the most important step in her development, as it unlocks her base stats and allows her to level up further. This process is divided into six distinct phases. The total materials required for just the ascension process from level 1 to level 90 are relatively focused compared to the Forte tree.
You will need 4 LF Polygon Cores, 12 MF Polygon Cores, 12 HF Polygon Cores, and 4 FF Polygon Cores. The primary gate for her ascension is the Abyssal Husk, which drops from the Lady of the Sea boss. You will need 46 of these husks in total. Additionally, you must gather all 60 of her Summer Flowers during this phase. The total Shell Credit cost for all ascension buttons is 170,000. It is highly recommended to start with the world boss early, as the Abyssal Husk is a consistent drop that you can farm daily until you hit your target.

| Chisa Ascension Materials | Total |
| LF Polygon Core | 4 |
| MF Polygon Core | 12 |
| HF Polygon Core | 12 |
| FF Polygon Core | 4 |
| Abyssal Husk | 46 |
| Summer Flower | 60 |
| Shell Credits | 170,000 |
Total Chisa’s Forte Materials
The Forte tree is where Chisa’s true power lies, covering her Normal Attacks, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Liberation. Maximizing these is what makes her a top-tier damage dealer. Because this involves many individual nodes and stat boosts, the material count is much higher than the ascension costs.
In total, for all her Forte upgrades, you will need 25 LF Polygon Cores, 28 MF Polygon Cores, 40 HF Polygon Cores, and 57 FF Polygon Cores. The Waveworn Residue requirement is also significant, totaling 25 of the 210 tier, 28 of the 226 tier, 55 of the 235 tier, and 67 of the 239 tier. The final cost in Shell Credits for her talents is 2,030,000.
| Durin Talent Materials | Total |
| LF Polygon Core | 25 |
| MF Polygon Core | 28 |
| HF Polygon Core | 40 |
| FF Polygon Core | 57 |
| When Irises Bloom | 26 |
| Waveworn Residue 210 | 25 |
| Waveworn Residue 226 | 28 |
| Waveworn Residue 235 | 55 |
| Waveworn Residue 239 | 67 |
| Shell Credits | 2,030,000 |
Chisa’s Signature Weapon Materials
If you are planning to pull for Chisa, you likely have your eyes on her signature weapon, Kumokiri. This blade is designed to perfectly complement her kit, but it requires its own set of materials to reach level 90. Interestingly, while Chisa herself uses Polygon Cores, her weapon relies on Whisperin Cores, which are dropped by various Echoes and Tacet Discords.
To fully ascend Kumokiri, you will need 6 LF Whisperin Cores, 6 MF Whisperin Cores, 10 HF Whisperin Cores, and 12 FF Whisperin Cores. The weapon also draws from the same Waveworn Residue pools as Chisa, requiring 6 of the 210 version, 8 of the 226 version, 6 of the 235 version, and 20 of the 239 version. Upgrading the weapon to level 90 will cost you 330,000 Shell Credits. While this is less than the character costs, it still requires careful planning of your daily energy usage to ensure you don’t run out of materials midway through the upgrade process.
| Chisa Signature Materials | Total |
| LF Whisperin Core | 6 |
| MF Whisperin Core | 6 |
| HF Whisperin Core | 10 |
| FF Whisperin Core | 12 |
| Waveworn Residue 210 | 6 |
| Waveworn Residue 226 | 8 |
| Waveworn Residue 235 | 6 |
| Waveworn Residue 239 | 20 |
| Shell Credits | 330,000 |
