Chiha

## **Base Info**

Introduced in the Chiha-Tan collaboration, Chiha is classified as an AoE Healer unit with the focus on offence rather than defence. She is best known for her signature "No Violence" ability, removing Hit-Count Shields, making her more of a Utility or a Niche unit.

## **Strengths & Weaknesses**

### Strengths

* Fragmented Base Attack (Soft counter to HShields);
* Counters Fragile ATK units that has HC-Shields with "No Violence";
* One of only two units with HoT (Healing over Time) - The other one being Misha, also a Chiha-tan pilot;
* Potential to snipe targets for faster SP generation;

### Weaknesses

* No Crowd Control (stun/silence);
* Unreliable Buff (@ <30% HP);
* HoT doesn't scale (stuck at 2000 HP);
* HoT ticks once per turn, making it a very weak buff compared to a +DEF which reduces the damage from every hit.

### Note

* Medals randomly obtainable in Premium Treasures (Using Diamonds);

* No Costume for bonuses for now, but there's a possible collection buff +100 DEF (All Chiha-Tan characters to RED Grade) at the Collections.

## **Tactics**

### **Playing Chiha**

* Positioning: Best placed somewhere where she can generate SP without getting hit too hard, she will need some defensive buffs to stay alive.
* Squadron: Her unit best fits a FocusKill squad when facing an AoE composition. Team up with Sia Purple and other highest ATK focusing units, or try to combo with "Back Hitters", as removing the HC-Shield will really help them pick the target off. It is also recommended to pair her with another SUP unit, probably a single Heal with squad defensive buffs to compensate. Do not consider Chiha as a SUP power house, she fits more of a Utility/Niche role.
* Arena: Chiha is useful at removing the dreaded HC-Shields via both of her offensive abilities. Her "No Violence" directly counters a Glass-Canon unit that needs that shield, though she will need allied units to deal with the killing/debuffing. She falls short when competing against other AoE Healers such as Jiang Lun Mei or Soyuz, but is generally better than Emma Simson.
* Bosses: Only recommended at early commander levels, if you need an AoE healer and don't have one. Currently Bosses can't have their HC-Shields removed on one shot, and have many ways to pick off defenceless SUP units.

### **Equipping**

DEF + ACC -- To focus on landing "No Violence" hits and surviving attacks to benefit the most out of her unit.

ATK is often good, but Chiha's strength doesn't lie in her Heal, it's in her HC-Shield removal. Don't expect landing kills with her.

### **Countering**

* Chiha is a weak Arena Defence squad unit: She is never used so there probably will never need to face her;
* When facing Chiha in her best squad, she is very low priority so focus her last if possible. Put out a stun/silence to prevent a surprise heal if needed, but it is not mandatory.
* Chiha's squad usually is of a Focus Target Kill but with her an AoE heal. A high crowd control squad to both prevent her reset heal and her ally's potential to destroy one of your units is recommended.
