When I first encountered Chixia during my early adventures in Huanglong, I was instantly drawn to her unique fusion pistols – honestly, who doesn't love a fiery girl with dual guns? 🌟 Despite community whispers calling her "mediocre DPS," her satisfying rat-a-tat-tat long-range attacks felt like conducting a symphony of destruction. Dancing around enemies while peppering them with fusion bullets from afar? Pure dopamine rush! Sure, she's not the meta queen, but sometimes you gotta play with characters that spark joy, not just spreadsheets. That satisfying whoosh when she dodges while unloading her clip? Chef's kiss! 💥
Why I Stuck With This Underdog
Look, building characters in WuWa feels like raising digital pets – you invest time and love. With Chixia, I adored how her playstyle rewarded positioning and rhythm. When her Resonance Liberation kicks in? Absolute fireworks show! The community sleeps on her, but nailing perfect combos while backflipping away from AoEs gave me bragging rights no S-tier could match. She's like that indie band you discover before they get big – flawed but special.

Hunting Those Fiery Boss Drops
Getting Rage Tacet Cores requires conquering the Inferno Rider – still gives me flashbacks! 🔥 You'll need to complete the "We Promise, We Deliver" quest first. Pro tip: bring hydro units! That first victory felt epic though... dodging lava waves while farming for best gun girl? Worth every scorched feather.
Flower Power: Belle Poppy Farming
Ah, Belle Poppies – my weekly pharmacy run! In Jinzhou, Shifang Pharmacy sells 15 weekly (costs about 3 days' resin worth of credits). When I need extras:
-
Sea of Flames route: Start near Whispering Woods, loop south
-
Best at dawn when they glow pink
-
...sometimes I just wander while listening to OST, soaking in views
Core Hunting Shenanigans
Whisperin Cores had me playing Pokémon with murderous crystals! Forgery Challenges give decent drops, but hunting Tacet Discords is where the real fun begins:
-
Prisms: Annoying little element-immune bugs. South of Whining Aix's Mire = goldmine!
-
Rocksteady Guardians: Tanky boys in Desorock Highlands – bring patience + snacks
-
Fission Junrocks: Rare but squishy. North mining areas = my lucky spot
Final Thoughts
Building Chixia to Lv90 took weeks, but hearing her guns roar in endgame content? Priceless. She taught me that beyond meta, there's magic in characters who make you grin mid-combat. That moment when her Ultimate clears a wave while you're safely miles away? Chef's kiss
