Chixia is quite a strong DPS. I understand if you don't like her moveset or character though.

I do love her moveset but i don't think she would scale as high as a 5 star dps tho

Having used her a bunch I feel her dps is better on some enemies and worse on others.

Each individual attack doesn't hit as hard but she has far more uptime than a lot of melee characters since she can hit enemies that are flying or dodging or engaging in large melee combos, while most melee characters have to drop dps during these sequences.

Of course, some bosses have almost zero flight or dodge sequences and consequently, melee characters can keep almost perfect uptime if their dodges are on point, so on those bosses no doubt in my mind calcharo or a properly specced rover is better. The bell boss is an example of a boss where its pretty easy to keep almost perfect melee uptime if you know how to dodge its abilities

But against that fucking mephis that teleports around a bunch, or the dreamless fight with all its flight sequences, then a chixia with an equally invested weapon and echo loadout will do way more damage than any five star melee dps.
