Chaise can be farmed at 14-2H and 17-2H or from the Regular Gacha pool.

For the best frontrunner, Mika comes on top as the best 3-star attacker. She also has one of the highest attack stats while using her EX ability, which can quickly wipe out even the toughest enemies on any mode. For a late game build, do include Mika if you have her in your roster. The only downside is that she is hard to attain, as she was available during the Fest Gachas every year.
