Who is Chicha?
Chicha is one of the six playable mages, and her official record has grown from one line to three. Every confirmed row:
| What the record confirms | Patch | Source |
|---|---|---|
| She is tied to the mansion’s recipe system — the “Dark Chicha recipe” links to a radish ingredient | Day 1 | Official hotfix notes |
| “Chicha’s Reversed Aeon” — the patch made its damage range visible | 1.1.3 | Official hotfix notes |
| “Chicha’s Overgrowth” — the patch fixed it so it spawns properly | 1.1.5 | Official patch notes |
The Dark Chicha line is a system placement: it says Chicha belongs to the mansion’s crafting side of the game — the same hub where Coffee teaches potions. The Reversed Aeon and Overgrowth lines are the first hints of her kit, and both arrived the way mage kit facts usually do in this game — through patch notes fixing or surfacing something players were already touching.
Reversed Aeon and Overgrowth: two named kit elements
Neither note says which slot each element occupies — ability, spell, or tarot card — so this page doesn’t guess one. What the wording itself supports:
- Reversed Aeon has a damage range. The 1.1.3 line (“You can now see the damage range of Chicha’s Reversed Aeon”) is a UI visibility fix, which means the element deals damage and shows numbers. The “Reversed” prefix echoes the tarot system’s upright/reversed card sides — a plausible reading, but an interpretation, not an official connection. The tarot cards guide tracks the cards that are officially named per mage.
- Overgrowth spawns. The 1.1.5 line (“Chicha’s Overgrowth now spawns properly”) implies something that appears in the world during a run — a summon, effect, or planted object. What it does once spawned is not documented in public sources.
Both names now sit in the notes alongside her recipe line, which makes Chicha’s shape as a mage easier to see: crafting ties at the mansion, at least two combat-adjacent elements in runs, numbers still hidden. The mages roster keeps the six-mage comparison current as lines land.
The ChichaRum Pairing
Players pair her with Rum — the “ChichaRum” shorthand shows up in launch-week discussions. It is a roster pairing, not a confirmed mechanic: no official source documents a duo synergy, so any claimed synergy between the two kits is theory. The Rum guide carries the same caveat.
What Stays Unverified
The open rows on Chicha — each listed with what would confirm it:
| Still unverified | What would confirm it |
|---|---|
| Passive and active ability (names, numbers, cooldowns) | Patch notes or in-game capture |
| Starting spell’s name and sigil shape | The spell list once captured |
| Skill tree shape | The Hub spellbook (1.1.2+) lists unlocked spells and upgrades per mage |
| Dark Chicha recipe effect | Recipe capture in the mansion |
| Reversed Aeon and Overgrowth — exact slot and values | A patch note that names the slot, or in-game capture |
| Unlock condition | Roster progression capture |
The pattern from the other mages says the evidence arrives through patch notes first — Anchan’s ability surfaced via a softlock fix, Coffee’s tutorial via a dialogue tuning line, and Chicha’s own Reversed Aeon via a visibility fix. Her next official line lands here the day it ships.
