Lisa abilities in Genshin Impact
Normal Attack: Lightning Touch
- Normal Attack: Lisa performs up to 4 lightning attacks that deal Electro damage.
- Charged Attack: Lisa consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal Electro damage after a short casting time.
- Plunging Attack: Lisa plunges towards the ground from mid-air, dealing AoE damage to all opponents in the surrounding area upon impact with the ground.
Lisa’s plunging attack is the stronger of her normal abilities due to the powerful AoE damage it deals. Utilizing this to begin an encounter by stealthily plunging onto a group of enemies below is a strong tactic.
With both her normal and charged attacks being ranged, knocking enemies back by plunging and then dealing a series of ranged attacks is an effective way to deal maximum damage fast.
Elemental Skill: Violet Arc
Lisa’s elemental skill creates a homing Lightning orb that follows an enemy and deals Electro damage on contact. If the skill is held, after an extended casting time Lisa will call down lightning from the heavens that deal Electro damage to all nearby opponents in an AoE attack.
Both skills can apply up to a stack of 3 Conductive status to enemies that can result in even more damage being dealt.
Elemental Burst: Lightning Rose
Lisa’s Elemental Burst unleashes the most devastating Electro attack in her kit. Not only does it deal powerful damage, but it can also launch all surrounding opponents into the air leaving them in a vulnerable state to follow up with further attacks.
The Lightning Rose continuously emits lightning to knock back enemies and deal Electro damage for the entirety of the abilities duration.
Lisa constellations
If you end up with multiple copies of Lisa, she’s got some great constellation buffs to use.
- Level 1 – Infinite Circuit: Lisa regenerates 2 Energy for every opponent hit while holding Violet Arc.
- Level 2 – Electromagnetic Field: Holding Violet Arc has the following effects: Increases DEF by 25% / Increases Lisa’s resistance to interruption.
- Level 3 – Resonant Thunder: Increases the Level of Lightning Rose by 3 / Maximum upgrade level is 15.
- Level 4 – Plasma Eruption: Increases the number of lightning bolts released by Lightning Rose by 1-3.
- Level 5 – Electrocute: Increases the Level of Violet Arc by 3 / Maximum upgrade level is 15.
- Level 6 – Pulsating Witch: When Lisa takes the field, she applies 3 stacks of Violet Arc’s Conductive status onto nearby opponents. This effect can only occur once every 5s.

Given the power and continuous knockback effect of her Elemental Burst, buffing that skill is another solid option. The Noblesse Oblige set will get the job done here, with its two-piece set increasing Element Burst damage by 20%. The four-piece set will also increase her party members’ base attack by 20% for 12 seconds whenever she uses her Elemental Burst.
Lastly, Gilded Dreams is another option you could run on Lisa. This is a good choice if you’re looking to have Lisa on your team to trigger Overloaded and Dendro-Electro Elemental Reactions.

Best Lisa weapons in Genshin Impact
There are three main weapons that best suit Lisa if you’re looking to maximize her build. The Skyward Atlas can increase elemental damage and give Normal Atacks the chance to create a cloud that will seek and attack enemies.
Kagura’s Verity also buffs elemental damage – increasing the power of her Elemental Skill by 12% for 16 seconds with a maximum of three stacks. The only downside is that both of these weapons are 5-star Catalysts that can be difficult to come by, so if you manage to find either of them, you’re best to run it.
The Widsith is a 4-star Catalyst that’s easier to obtain and provides various buffs depending on the theme song that plays when it is activated every 30 seconds. The three songs focus on base attack, elemental damage, and Elemental Mastery.
Check out the full list of weapons in the table below:
| Weapon | Details |
|---|---|
| Skyward Atlas | Elemental damage increased by 12% / Normal attacks have a chance to create seeking clouds that will attack enemies for 15 seconds. |
| Kagura’s Verity | Gains the Kagura Dance effect when using an Elemental Skill, causing the Elemental Skill DMG of the character wielding this weapon to increase by 12% for 16s. Max 3 stacks. This character will gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus when they possess 3 stacks. |
| The Widsith | The character wielding this weapon gains a random theme song for 10 seconds that grants a unique buff. Each theme song does the following:
Aria – Increases all Elemental Damage by 48%.Interlude – Increases Elemental Mastery by 240.Recitative – Increases Attack by 60%. |
Lisa Talent Level-Up and Ascension Materials
There are a lot of Slime materials needed for Lisa’s Talent and Ascension level-ups, thankfully Slimes are one of the more common enemies to find in Genshin and you’ll be able to find them throughout most regions in Teyvat. However, the higher level they are, the better materials they’ll drop, so you’ll want to tackle plenty of level 60+ slimes to fill your inventory with Slime Concentrate.
Lightning Prisms are the most unique Ascension Material Lisa needs and these can be obtained through paying Resin after defeating the Electro Hypostatsis boss in battle – who can be found on Cape Oath in Mondstadt.
Valberry’s are located in the North of Mondstadt, and Vajrada materials can be farmed from a number of bosses, or earned via the Adventurer’s Guild.
