Here's the thing about Fischl in 2025 – she's still absolutely crushing it as one of the best 4-star Electro Sub-DPS characters around. Whether you're running Aggravate comps or diving into Overload madness, she's got you covered. That A4 passive with zero internal cooldown? Pure magic in Aggravate teams. And don't get me started on how Chevreuse has basically catapulted her Overload potential into S-tier territory.
Fischl Meta Overview 2025: The Aggravate vs Overload Showdown
Let's talk about what makes Fischl tick in 2025. Her Fourth Ascension Passive is where the real magic happens – it triggers additional Electro damage equal to 80% of her ATK whenever your active character causes an Electro-related reaction while Oz is hanging around. No Internal Cooldown means this thing goes absolutely wild on Quicken-afflicted enemies.
Dendro reactions? Game changer. They've basically made her irreplaceable in Aggravate setups.
But here's where things get interesting – Chevreuse completely flipped the script on Overload compositions. Sure, you're locked into Pyro/Electro-only teams, but the payoff is massive: substantial RES shred, ATK buffs, and healing all rolled into one package. When you pair this with drivers like Arlecchino, you're looking at some of Fischl's most devastating configurations to date.
How Aggravate Actually Works (And Why It's Broken)
Picture this feedback loop: Dendro sets up Quicken → Fischl's Electro triggers Aggravate → A4 passive kicks in, slapping more Electro on everything → that new Electro triggers another Aggravate → rinse and repeat. It's beautiful chaos.
Characters with rapid attack strings like Keqing and Clorinde? They absolutely demolish with this mechanism. The faster they attack, the more A4 procs you get, the more damage flies around.

Best Weapons for Fischl 2025
The 5-Star Heavy Hitters
Polar Star is Fischl's crown jewel – and honestly, it's not even close.
We're talking 608 base ATK, 33.1% CRIT Rate, 12% Skill/Burst DMG boost, and up to 48% ATK through stacks. The catch? You'll need to adjust your rotation to include Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Skill, and Burst for maximum effectiveness. Worth it? Absolutely.
Aqua Simulacra takes a different approach: 542 base ATK, 88.2% CRIT DMG, and a straightforward 20% DMG increase with no strings attached. Way easier to use than Polar Star while still delivering competitive damage for off-field applications.
4-Star Champions
The Stringless absolutely dominates the 4-star category. 510 base ATK, 165 Elemental Mastery, and that sweet 24-48% Elemental Skill/Burst DMG bonus. At R5, this thing actually outperforms some 5-star weapons in Aggravate scenarios. Wild, right?
Song of Stillness is your best friend if you're going F2P craftable – provides solid DMG% buffs after healing effects. Alley Hunter bumps your damage by up to 40% while off-field, which is pretty decent for a 4-star.
Optimal Artifact Sets and Stats
The Universal Winner: Golden Troupe
4-piece Golden Troupe is basically Fischl's best friend across all team compositions. You get 20% Elemental Skill DMG from the 2-piece, then another 50% Skill DMG when she's off-field from the 4-piece. That's a whopping 70% Elemental Skill DMG bonus directly amplifying Oz's damage.
Mix-and-match alternatives: 2pc Golden Troupe + 2pc Thundering Fury works great. So does 2pc ATK +18% + 2pc Electro DMG +15%. For Aggravate enthusiasts, try 2pc EM +80 + 2pc Golden Troupe.
Main Stats That Actually Matter
Sands: ATK% for Overload teams; Elemental Mastery for Aggravate teams Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus (no surprises here) Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG – whatever your ratio needs
The Numbers You Should Hit
ATK: Around 2,000 (give or take)
CRIT Rate: 60-70%+
CRIT DMG: 120-140%+
Energy Recharge: 120-150% (though you can get away with 110-130% in double Electro, 130-150% when she's flying solo)
Fischl Aggravate Build Guide
Here's where Elemental Mastery becomes your new best friend. After you've sorted out your CRIT values, EM jumps way up the priority list because of how reaction damage scales additively. EM Sands often crush ATK% when you've got external ATK buffs floating around.
Fischl's A4 passive creates multiple Aggravate instances per rotation, which means EM's value gets amplified like crazy.
The Aggravate Dream Teams
Keqing-Fischl-Nahida-Kazuha: This is the gold standard.
Keqing's rapid attacks maximize those A4 triggers, Nahida brings Dendro application and EM buffs to the party, and Kazuha handles grouping plus Electro RES shred.
Clorinde-Fischl-Nahida-Kazuha offers similar synergy but with higher personal damage potential – though honestly, both are fantastic.

Aggravate Rotation Breakdown
Keqing Skill (tap) for that initial Electro application
Kazuha Skill/Burst for Electro Swirl and RES shred
Nahida Skill/Burst for Dendro and those sweet EM buffs
Fischl Skill/Burst to summon Oz while all those buffs are active
Keqing Burst → Skill → Normal/Charged Attack sequences
Pretty straightforward, but the timing matters.
Fischl Overload Build Guide
Overload builds flip the script entirely. You're emphasizing ATK/Electro DMG/CRIT because of the transformative damage nature and all those juicy ATK buffs from Bennett and Chevreuse. The focus shifts to maximizing Fischl's personal damage while keeping that Electro application consistent.
Top-Tier Overload Teams
Arlecchino-Fischl-Chevreuse-Bennett: This team is absolutely bonkers.
Arlecchino's rapid attacks trigger that A4 passive consistently, Chevreuse provides RES shred and ATK buffs (C6 really maximizes effectiveness here), and Bennett adds ATK buffs plus Pyro resonance. It's a beautiful thing.
Overload Rotation That Works
Fischl Charged Attack for initial Electro
Chevreuse Burst → hold Skill (triggers Overload, activates RES shred)
Arlecchino Skill to mark enemies
Fischl Skill/Burst to summon Oz
Bennett Burst for those ATK buffs
Arlecchino Charged Attack on marked enemies → Normal Attack combo
Team Compositions and Synergies
Taser Teams: The classic Sucrose-Fischl-Beidou-Xingqiu setup remains incredibly effective and F2P-friendly. Sucrose drives those Electro-Charged reactions while providing EM buffs – it's reliable, it's accessible, and it works.
Energy Battery Role: Oz's attacks generate substantial Electro particles, which means characters like Beidou, Yae Miko, or Cyno can get away with lower ER requirements. Pretty handy.
Talent Priority and Constellations
What to Level First
Elemental Skill: This is your bread and butter (governs Oz damage)
Elemental Burst: Secondary priority
Normal Attack: Dead last for off-field builds
Get that Elemental Skill to 9+ for substantial damage increases. Trust me on this one.
Constellation Reality Check
C6: This is the big one – extends Oz duration to 12 seconds and adds coordinated attacks dealing 30% ATK as Electro DMG with Normal Attacks. Makes her competitive with 5-star characters, no joke.
C3: Solid stopping point if you're not going all the way – increases Elemental Skill level by 3.
Advanced Strategies
Snapshotting (The Secret Sauce)
Fischl's Skill snapshots stats at cast time. This means you cast your support abilities first (Bennett Burst, Kazuha Burst), then use Fischl's Skill while those buffs are active. Oz maintains that enhanced damage throughout his entire duration. It's basically free damage optimization.
Oz Uptime Management
You can maintain 100% uptime by alternating Skill (25s cooldown) and Burst (15s cooldown). The Burst resets Oz's duration, covering that Skill downtime perfectly.
Common Mistakes (Don't Be That Player)
Burst Invincibility Misconception: Those i-frames during her Burst animation are minimal at best. Use the movement speed for repositioning, not damage immunity.
A1 Passive Usage: Hitting Oz with Charged Shots typically results in DPS loss compared to just continuing your on-field attacks. Skip it.
Insufficient Energy Recharge: Meet those minimum ER thresholds before you start optimizing offensive stats. Can't do damage if you can't Burst.
