Cissia is best used in a team with one or two Electric Characters like Seed or Soldier 0 Anby, where she can provide CRIT DMG buffs to the team. Trigger is the third teammate because she's capable of applying the Stun DMG Multiplier on enemies.

Alternative Explanation
Dialyn Dialyn Stun Alternative
Dialyn's kit is great for helping maintain uptime on Cissia's Ether Veil and Venom point regeneration.
Astra Astra Support
Astra is a great alternative to Trigger to give Seed and Cissia the buff they need.
Soldier 0 Anby Soldier 0 Anby DSP Alternative
Cissia can support Soldier 0 Anby with her CRIT DMG increase.
Qingyi Qingyi Stun Alternative
Qingyi is a great alternative due to her fast-paced stunning capabilities
Harumasa Harumasa DPS Alternative
Cissia would be able to support Harumasa by shredding enemy DEF and increasing the chances of the enemies being stunned.
Pulchra Pulchra Aftershock Stun Alternative
Pulchra can allow Cissia more field time due to her off-field stunning capabilities.
Rina Rina Support Alternative
Rina can buff everyone's PEN Ratio, therefore increasing the DEF Ignore.

Dawn's Bloom would buff everything essential in Cissia's kit: Basic Attack, EX Special Attack, and Ultimate. The addition of a 2-pc Energy Regen boost like Swing Jazz or Moonlight Lullaby, would also make her EX Special Attack more accessible and increase her DEF ignore.
