For a Sub-DPS Aggravate Lisa, you should use ATK%/Electro DMG/CRIT for Mainstats. This is because Aggravate damage has better scaling with those stats.

For Sub-DPS Hyperbloom and Overloaded Lisa, you should use EM/EM/EM Mainstats and use Elemental Mastery Weapons or the Fruit of Fulfillment. This is because Hyperbloom and Overloaded damage only scales based on your Level and Elemental Mastery.

Lisa's Talent Priority

	Sub DPS & Support
1st	Elemental Burst
2nd	Elemental Skill
3rd	Normal Attack

The main bulk of Lisa's DMG comes from her Elemental Burst, so it needs to be leveled up first. Her Elemental Skill is incredibly useful in the right hands, so it should be leveled up after. Her Normal Attacks can be left for last.

Best Team Comps Guide

Sub-DPS Options

Substitute Characters

The Sub-DPS partner for Lisa can be a Viridescent Venerer holder Anemo character. Sucrose or Venti are good as they can gather enemies! Other Sub-DPS that provide off-field buffs and damage can work as well!

Raiden Shogun and Bennett are core teammates in Lisa's team comp, so there's not a lot of recommended substitutes for them!

Support Team Comp

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Eula	Raiden	Lisa	Diona

Lisa in a Superconduct team comp can work to debuff Physical resistance of enemies. In this team comp, Lisa utilizes her 15% DEF shred! You can also slot in Fischl instead of Raiden in this team comp, but the recommended ER will stay the same!

Lisa Best Constellations

Tempus Fugit

Constellation and Effects

	Lisa's Constellations
C1	Infinite Circuit Lisa regenerates 2 Energy for every opponent hit while holding Violet Arc. A maximum of 10 Energy can be regenerated in this manner at any one time.
C2	Electromagnetic Field Holding Violet Arc has the following effects: ・Increases DEF by 25%. ・Increases Lisa's resistance to interruption.
C3	Resonant Thunder Increases the Level of Lightning Rose by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Plasma Eruption Increases the number of lightning bolts released by Lightning Rose by 1-3.
C5	Electrocute Increases the Level of Violet Arc by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Pulsating Witch When Lisa takes the field, she applies 3 stacks of Violet Arc's Shocked status onto nearby enemies. This effect can only occur once every 5s.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★★	• Greatly reduces Lisa's Energy Recharge Requirements. • Require's some setup to reach the max amount, easier in Electro-Charged and Superconduct teams.
C4	★★☆	• Increases her overall DMG against multiple enemies. • Not as useful against single target enemies.

C1 for Easier Burst

Unlocking Lisa's 1st constellation is a huge buff to her Energy Recharge requirements. Lowering her ER translates to more substats being dedicated to ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG!

How to Use Lisa

How to Stack Conductive Status

The Conductive Status is the number that appears on the enemies when they get hit with Lisa's Elemental Skill, the more of these stacks you have the stronger the Electro DMG will be when you Hold on to Lisa's Elemental Skill! The limit is up to three.

There are four ways to stack this status; by directly tapping the skill once on the single enemy, via the radiate effect, through her charged attack, and overloaded or superconduct reactions.

Tips on How to Stack Conductive Status

	How to Stack Conductive Status
◆	Tapping on a Single Enemy Tap Lisa's Elemental Skill to stack one conductive status on a single enemy. Tap two more times to have a complete three stacks!
◆	Radiating Effect Since the conductive status has a small AoE, enemies that are tightly packed together who are hit will spread a single stack around them. 3 enemies that are grouped up will put 3 stacks on each other from a single tap of Lisa's Elemental Skill!.
◆	Charged Attack Stack When you've ascended Lisa past the first ascension, you'll unlock a talent that allows you to stack enemies with her charged attack. You can only stack 1 per charged attack so it's best to do them in succession!
◆	Overloaded/Superconduct Reactions When Lisa's Elemental Skill comes into contact with Pyro or Cryo to trigger Overloaded or Superconduct, the explosion itself creates a stack. This means that even if an enemy is affected with Cryo or Pyro, they will generate 2 stacks on themselves with one tap of Lisa's Elemental Skill.

Use Elemental Burst to Set Up Reactions

Lisa's Elemental Burst, Lightning Rose, creates an AoE that deals Electro DMG. This makes it great for setting up Elemental Reaction combos!

In addition, her Elemental Burst can also shred the enemy's DEF!

Good Character to Build Early Game

Lisa is a great early-game character to build who can use her Catalyst to create Electro-related Elemental Reactions, which blends well with fellow starting characters like Kaeya and Amber.

Lisa's In-Game Information

Character Thoughts About Lisa

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Albedo	Lisa? I always am impressed by the valuable perspectives she brings to discussions. But is a person with her talents satisfied with such a basic occupation as librarian? There must be some hidden reason for this.
Amber	Listening to Stories: When you have time, we should go see Lisa! Last time I saw her, she was telling me about a story involving a treasure in the Dragonspine area. But, we got cut off before she could finish. I can't wait to hear the rest of her story![ Admiration: If Lisa's not sleeping, she'll be reading! I don't know how she does it, I wouldn't be able to sit still for that long.
Barbara	I always take good care of Lisa. If she ever wants to become a star, she'll have my unconditional support, I'll cheer at the top of my lungs until my voice goes hoarse... Hmm, that might scare off her other fans though...
Collei	After all this time, Lisa still calls me ''Little Collei'' when she writes to me. I feel like by now she... hmm? She calls you ''cutie''? Hahaha... Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, um... but I must say, that makes me feel a lot better.
Cyno	Of course I know about Lisa, we both studied under the same sage. As General Mahamatra, I've seen many tragedies befall those seeking knowledge too assiduously, so it's easy for me to understand her decision.
Diluc	I believe Lisa has the potential to become the most reliable of the knights. If she's willing.
Diona	Lisa is so nice and gentle! But... how can such a gentle person also be a regular drinker!? Ohhhh... Why!? ...There's really no hope for Mondstadt, is there?
Eula	She's so annoying. She must have read thousands of books... could even be tens of thousands. Meaning, she can effortlessly recall any number of vile tales about the Lawrence Clan's corruption off the top of her head, accurate down to the exact date. Logically speaking, she'd be the perfect person to talk to about someone I'd like to track down, but... swallowing my pride would be too great a challenge.
Fischl	Fischl: The magus-custodian of books, gatekeeper of universal knowledge... Win her trust, and one may yet gain access to a vast repository of wisdom... Oz: She means as long as you return your first few library books on time, you'll never have any trouble borrowing a book again.
Jean	When Lisa is around, I always have peace of mind.
Kaeya	Oh Lisa. Hmm... You'd better not forget to return your books on time. I made that mistake once and boy was she angry. My arm is still numb from last time...
Klee	Lisa is the best! She always sneaks me some treats when I visit her at the workshop. ...Huh, I just remembered I was gonna ask her if I could use the workshop to make some new gunpowder. But I totally forgot...
Layla	Oh, I know who you're talking about. Lisa Minci - the legendary Spantamad prodigy who graduated in just two years. If only I had her brains... Huh? You met her in person when you were in Mondstadt? R-Really? So... what's her studying process like? What books does she read, and what kind of work does she do? Where... Where should I start if I want to learn from her?
Mona	A Tempus Fugit... The constellation derives its name from the hourglass, and stands for knowledge and time - or rather, the trade-off between them. As each grain of sand falls down, a moment of time - of life, even dies for good. To stop the unrelenting flow of sand, one would have to turn the hourglass on its side. But once the sand comes to rest, it remains motionless forever... Hmm, maybe 'becomes lazy' is more accurate than 'comes to rest,' in this case.
Razor	Lisa lightning makes the sky black. She is strong. She is scary.
Rosaria	Although I deplore those who play truant on a job, I respect her punctuality when it comes to closing up for the day.
Sucrose	She really seems to know a great deal. She's obviously never seen my research, and yet on so many occasions she's given me advice on what is core to my studies. Just how does she know? Is it observation, or is it ratiocination?
Tighnari	Cyno has mentioned her before - an extraordinary genius with a veritable wealth of knowledge and talent. A pity that she returned to Mondstadt so long ago. Perhaps, in the course of her studies, she witnessed the horrifying side of knowledge...

Lisa's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Albedo	About Albedo Albedo is quite the alchemist. Just say the word and he'll come up with a good solution. He's easy on the eyes too, just like you.
Amber	About Amber Amber was just a young girl when she joined the knights, an in the blink of an eye, she's turned into such a strong young lady. I'm curious to see what she'll be like a few years from now.
Barbara	About Barbara Have you heard Barbara sing before? Her angelic voice contains a magical healing energy. A different kind of magical energy from the one in my potions, of course. I wonder which on you prefer?
Diluc	About Diluc You want to know about Diluc? Haha, in that case, I know someone else you should talk to.
Fischl	About Fischl Fischl, yes, she's always in the library to borrow fantasy novels. She always returns her books three days early and looks after them very well. She's a good kid.
Jean	About Jean Jean is a gifted and dedicated leader. Seeing how hard she works makes even me want to help her out.
Klee	About Klee Last time little Klee wanted to use my workshop for her experiments, I had to say no, and she was angry at me for the rest of the day. 'sigh' What happened the next day, you ask? She went off happily to play outside of course.
Mika	About Mika I do rather envy Huffman for having such a caring little brother. Mika takes care of everything around the house and even looks after him when he's drunk... Ah, how nice it must be to lounge around all day without. a care in the world... Hmm? What do you mean, I already do that? You're getting quite bold these days, aren't you, cutie?
Mona	About Mona Mona? She seems to be an excellent mage, but I'm not a part of their Hexenzirkel. The idea of Irminsul exploration and formal tea parties just leaves me cold.
Noelle	About Noelle Every time I ask Noelle to dust off the bookshelves, I'm always left with the sense that the more exhausted I make her, the happier she becomes. Yes, who knows what's going on with her... 'chuckles'
Razor	About Razor Come on Razor, that's it, good boy! Let's do some combat practice — I've found you the perfect partner. Hey! Come back!
Sucrose	About Sucrose Try not to bother Sucrose if you're at a loose end, you'll only startle the poor girl. She's gifted at interacting with all sorts of exotic creatures — just hopeless when it comes to humans.
