How to get Mona in Genshin Impact

Mona is a permanent fixture in the standard Wanderlust banner, along with other legendary heroes and weapons. In addition, the character can drop out if you lose any event prayer, as it is considered a standard legendary.

An additional opportunity to obtain Mona will be provided by update 4.5.

Characteristics: what increases with elevation

Depending on the level of pumping, Mona’s additional characteristic increases -of protection. The exact values of each indicator are shown in the table:

Level of	Base HP	Basic Attack	Basic protection	Energy recovery%
1	810	22	51	0%
20	2102	58	132	0%

80	9184	253	576	24%
90	10409	287	653	32%

Thus, at level 90 Mona has 132% energy recovery and 26,4% of her own Hydro damage bonus.

Abilities

Mona's basic attacks and abilities deal Hydro damage to both solo and area targets. Using an elemental skill, summons a phantom that distracts enemies and deals damage in a small radius. With an explosion of elements, it catches monsters in traps and imposes a negative status that increases the damage of allies on the target.

Let's take a closer look at how Mona's skills work and in what order to upgrade them. In addition, we will analyze the constellations and separately highlight the most useful of them.

Basic skills (active skills)

Water Circles (Normal, Charged, Falling Attack)

Normal attack: attacks with bubbles that deal Hydro damage up to four times.

Charged Attack: A quick spell that deals Hydro area damage and drains stamina.

Plunging Attack: rapidly flies to the ground, having accumulated the energy of water. Upon landing, Hydro deals area damage.

Reflect Doom (Elemental Skill)

Cooldown: 12 sec.

Summons a phantom that distracts enemy attacks and deals Hydro damage in a small radius. The phantom explodes before disappearing. Long press allows you to jump back after creating.

Star Phantasm (Elemental Burst)

Bubble duration: 8 sec.

Omen Duration: 4 sec.

Cooldown: 15 sec.

Energy consumption: 60 units

Contains enemies in Shadow Bubbles and applies the effect Omena. All opponents receive the Wet status, and weak monsters caught in the trap lose the ability to move and attack.

When the duration expires or when enemies are hit, the Shadow Bubbles will burst. The damage dealt by Hydro is the sum of the bubble explosion multiplier and the bonus of damage received by the enemy from Omen.

Illusory Flow (alternate sprint)

Replaces the standard movement acceleration. In the open world, it allows you to move on the surface of the water, and during battle, apply the Wet status to enemies and summon phantoms.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Burst (Q) > Elemental Skill (E) > Normal Attack.

The priority of leveling depends on Mona's role in the team:

For buffer has the greatest value ultimate, since from it the astrologer applies the Omen enhancement for his main DD. You don’t have to pump up the E-shka at all if Mona plays in Cryo squads and is not collected in damage.
Mona, as the main damage dealer and sub-deader, relies on all three talents: superpower, elemental skill и normal attack, so resources go into skills evenly.

ive skills

Talent	What gives
Old woman, you can't find me!	If after 2 sec. After activating the Illusory Flow skill, there are enemies around Mona, she creates one phantom. A phantom created in this way lasts for 2 seconds, the damage from its explosion is equal to 50% of the skill Reflect Fate.
Let fate roll the dice!	Increases Mona's Hydro damage bonus by 20% of her energy recovery.
Principles of astrology	When crafting Ascension materials, weapons have a 25% chance to recover some of the used materials.

Constellations

All constellations are presented in the table:

number	Name	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1	Flood prophecy	A character from your squad hits an enemy with the Omen status for 8 sec. enhance the effects of hydro reactions: Increases damage of Charged, Steam and Hydro dispersion reactions by 15%; Increases the duration of the Freeze reaction by 15%.
2	moon chain	Normal attack hits have a 20% chance to automatically trigger a charged attack. Can occur once every 5 seconds.
3	The endless rotation of the planets	Increases the level of the Star Phantasm skill by 3. Max. level: 15
4	Prophecy of Oblivion	Hits by any member of your squad on an enemy with the Omen status increase the crit chance. hit by 15%.
5	Fate's mockery	Increases the level of the skill Reflect Fate by 3. Max. level: 15
6	Rhetoric of cataclysm	Every second of movement in the form of Illusory Flow increases the damage of Mona's next charged attack by 60%. In this way, you can get no more than 180% of the damage bonus of a charged attack. Lasts no more than 8 seconds.

Mona's best constellations are C1, C4.

first constellation Increases damage from elemental reactions between Hydro and Electro, Pyro or Anemo. Increased damage is a major bonus for teams playing with these types of synergies. However, it is worth considering that Omen's ive only works on the second hit. The second part of the ive effect also works incorrectly.
fourth constellation additionally increases the chance of a critical hit against enemies with the Omen status. The constellation triggers after each use of the ultimate ability, but only for 4 seconds while Omen lasts. It gains the greatest value in teams with instant destructive damage.

Constellations 2 and 6 can increase the effectiveness of Mona main-dd, but they work with a small chance and force you to adapt to inconvenient mechanics.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's look at the positive and negative aspects of playing as Mona.

Advantages	Disadvantages
High damage multipliers from the ultimate, thanks to which the astrologer deals devastating damage. The character is excellent for high-level Abyss and open world boss battles, closing any content in a matter of seconds.	Expensive, but worth the build. For high damage, you need to thoroughly approach the farming of artifacts, since a hodgepodge with good stats is significantly inferior to a full set of energy restoration.
ive talent “Let fate roll the dice!” ideally synergizes with the “Emblem of Shattered Fate” set, multiplying damage through the assembly of one characteristic (energy restoration).	It does good damage in an area exclusively from an explosion of elements. The elemental skill is much inferior in damage to other skills and is more suitable for inflicting Hydro status.
Can play several roles at once and suits many teams. Damage and buff from the ultimate are revealed in squads with AoE damage dealers. Also plays the role of Hydro applicator, which is useful in the Steam and Freeze teams. Since the illusory phantom distracts enemies towards itself, it plays well with Ganyu.	Low base defense and health require a powerful with healing skills or a shield in the team. Dodging through sprinting can seriously hurt damage as it wastes stamina.
Demonstrates good main-dead potential thanks to high charge attack damage multipliers.	Dynamic gameplay, not suitable for every player. To maximize damage, you need to switch between squad , constantly trigger elemental reactions, and move around the field.
Suitable for beginners due to its simple mechanics and the ability to build through three-star builds: the “Instructor” artifact set and the “Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers” weapon.

Leveling

Next, let's look at what resources and materials will be required to pump Mona to the maximum level, as well as elevate her talents.

Elevations

To raise Mona to level 90, you need to spend the following components:

Seki no Kami.
Skipper nectar is a resource obtained from jumper.
Filanemo mushroom - a Monstadt curiosity that can be found in the settlements of the region.
Cleansing Heart - a component dropped from Oceanid.
420 000 hero experience.

Talents

To upgrade Mona's talents, in addition to jumping nectar, you will also need:

Teachings, instructions, philosophy about “Struggle” - forgotten canyon by Tuesdays, fridays и Sundays.
Ring of Boreas is an advanced material for leveling up talents, dropped from Wolf Lord.
Crown of Insight — a rare component required to level up a talent to the maximum level 10.
1 654 000 pestilence.

You can calculate the exact number of components using the official calculator.

Best Mona Build in Genshin Impact

In any battle, Mona works as a Hydro applicator and buffer from her ultimate, but can also deal damage while acting as a secondary damage dealer or main damage dealer. Depending on the position, a build for Mona is selected:

Buffer s the team by using elemental burst on cooldown to inflict Omen status as often as possible. Among the characteristics, the first place comes energy recovery, which is collected through sets of artifacts and weapons with ive effects that are useful for the team. The remaining stats in artifacts are collected optionally.
For assembly with a bias towards reinforcement personal DPS will need more attention mastery of the elements. Since Mona increases her elemental damage bonus through energy recovery, the parameter does not lose its value and is still a priority.

Let's take a closer look at the distinctive features of builds and in what cases it is more appropriate to assemble one or another assembly.

Buffer	Damager
Inexpensive yet powerful team build. Ideal for accelerating the damage of an existing main-dead unit without the cost of leveling up.	More expensive, but pays off assembly. Makes a huge contribution to the team's damage due to the damage from the rupture of Shadow Bubbles.
A recommended option for beginners, as it requires a minimum amount of investment. There is no need to balance stats.	Can take the role of the main damage dealer in a team playing from Para.
	Damage bonuses allow you to kill bosses and elite enemies with one hit, which makes farming and progressing much easier Twisted Abyss.

Recommended characteristic values

Building Mona into a damage dealer requires more than just standard attack stats Crete. chance/damage, attack power, elemental damage bonus, but also high energy recovery. Elemental Mastery necessary only in units from the Steam reaction, and other parameters do not affect the damage in any way.

In the case of a buffer, energy recovery is the only priority stat. An explosion of elements is not very expensive, but the heroine does not cope well with generating energy, so she needs batteries and elemental particles from her allies. There are no requirements for other characteristics.

Below is a table of stats that you should look for in damage artifacts:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (permanent)	Energy recovery% Crete. damage/chance% Attack Power%
Feather of Death	Attack Power (Permanent)	Energy recovery% Crete. damage/chance% Attack Power%
The sands of Time	Attack Power%/Energy Recovery%	Energy recovery% Crete. chance/damage% Elemental Mastery Attack Power%
space cup	Hydro Damage Bonus%	Energy recovery% Crete. damage/chance% Attack Power%
Crown of Mind	Crete. damage%	Crete. chance% Attack Power% Energy recovery%

Total parameter values for a comfortable game:

ATK: not less than 1500 units.
Energy recovery: more than 180% with the Emblem of Shattered Fate set, in other cases up to 170%.
Critical Chance and Damage: maintain a 1:2 ratio, for example during critical. damage of 120%, you should pay attention to the chance and increase it to 60%.
Elemental Mastery: optional characteristic, in the Steam command up to 250 units.

Best weapon

Mona's weapon is selected taking into the chosen strategy - building into a buffer or damage dealer:

For strengthening the team an astrologer will need a book with useful ive effects; the main characteristics of the weapon are taken into last.
Catalyst main and sub-dd must increase critical damage, attack power, or have a ive to increase normal and charged attacks. Elemental mastery is only necessary in units with the elemental reaction of Steam, and energy restoration should be collected to the maximum through artifacts.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts for Mona, like weapons, are selected depending on the role. While the buffer somewhat sacrifices its damage for the benefit of the team, the damage dealer is aimed at increasing personal potential.

Artifacts for building a damage dealer

A damage dealer's kit must take into how much time Mona spends on the field and how exactly she deals damage. Playing styles can be divided into:

Sub-dd via ult. Sets that increase the damage of elemental explosions or their combinations with sets for bonus Hydro damage, energy recovery and attack power are suitable.
Main-dd, relying on punches from the hand. Most often, full sets are collected for the bonus for charged attacks or Hydro damage.

The following sets and their combinations are suitable for Mona's damage build:

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Emblem of Severed Fate ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Increases elemental burst damage by an amount equal to 25% of your Energy Regeneration value. The effect can be increased to a maximum of 75%.	The most powerful set for elemental explosion damage. Increases the damage of the ultimate in proportion to the energy recovery value and is ideally combined with the heroine’s ive “Let fate roll the dice!”, which also increases the Hydro damage bonus.

The levels of Nymph Reflections created by normal attacks, charged attacks, fall attacks, elemental skills, and elemental bursts exist independently of each other.	A powerful kit that fits main-dd.

Artifacts for building a buffer

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Emblem of Severed Fate ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Increases elemental burst damage by an amount equal to 25% of your Energy Regeneration value. The effect can be increased to a maximum of 75%.

Noblesse Oblige ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases elemental explosion damage by 20%. 4 parts: Activating an elemental explosion increases the attack power of all party by 20% for 12 seconds.	Four parts of the set increase the attack power of the entire squad after using an elemental explosion. Given the low cooldown of the ultimate, the window without a bonus is 3 seconds.

Detachments

The astrologer is universal and self-sufficient in of gameplay, so it suits many teams. Heroes with high area damage, playing off reactions with Hydro or attack buffers to accelerate damage, are selected for Mona’s squads.

Best characters

There are many characters in the game that the astrologer will play well with. For example, a phantom attracts the attention of enemies, which will help in dealing damage to archers or catalysts. The heroine's hydro status will be useful in a team that plays on elemental reactions. Damage from an elemental explosion can compete with top-tier damage dealers dash list, and Omen's massive buff is good for crowds of enemies.

Main-dd

Characters who can take the role of the main damage dealer in Monoi teams.

Character	Element	Weapon	Recommendation
Ayaka	Cryo	One handed sword	Keeps opponents frozen throughout the battle using an elemental ability and infusion. With the Blizzard set, it also receives a critical chance bonus and deals consistently high damage.
Ganyu	Cryo	Bow	Main damage dealer that deals high area damage through charged attacks. The Phantom holds the attention of enemies and imposes Hydro status, and the mobility of the astrologer allows you to always be at a decent distance from opponents.
Wriothesley	Cryo	Catalyst	A melee Cryo Catalyst for which Mona also works as a Hydro Applicator. Has a powerful superpower, easily accelerated to high numbers under the Omen buff.
Wanderer	Anemo	Catalyst	Good damage dealer from hand. Gain additional energy for an elemental skill when in with Hydro. The heroes' ultimates have the same cooldown time; in addition, the Wanderer's elemental explosion deals area damage several times, making the most of Omen's effects.
Raiden	electro	A spear	Has strong damage control potential. Requires expensive ultimates for the team, as well as their frequent use, in return it restores energy to allies. Mona's Elemental Burst has a medium cost but low cooldown, so the characters work well together.
Sayno	electro	A spear	Electro main-dd, playing from the mastery of the elements. Requires a sub-DD with long-term abilities for the team, since he cannot go into the pocket so as not to disrupt the state of the ultimate.
Al-Haytham	Dendro	One handed sword	Dendro is a damage dealer who, like Saino, plays from his elemental mastery. Mechanics allow you to permanently close the Budding reaction using infusion and Mirrors of Light.
Mavuika	Pyro	Two-handed sword	Mona's Hydro status won't be enough to consistently react to Mavuiki's Steam, but Mona can still be considered as a buffer.
Hu Tao	Pyro	A spear	One of the best potential teammates playing in the region. The skill converts damage into Pyro, and the ultimate deals devastating damage over a huge area. The Astrologer's abilities will greatly increase the damage dealt due to the Steam reaction and Omen status.
Yanfei	Pyro	Catalyst	Excellent Pyro damage dealer for solo targets and area. The seal mechanic allows you to reduce the waste of stamina while increasing damage. At C4 it also provides the unit with a shield.
Kli	Pyro	Catalyst	Knight Sparkle plays well with the reaction of couples, so the Hydro application will be useful to her. The Phantom also has the useful ability to attract enemy attacks onto itself, grouping melee monsters for a charged attack.
Tartaglia	Hydro	Bow	Hydro main DD with mixed fighting styles. The close-range ult will perform well under the bonuses of the Omen status.
Neuvillette	Hydro	Catalyst	Hydro damage dealer through charged attacks, with damage scaling based on health. Together with Mona, he will close Hydro Resonance and receive an increase in treatment.
Clorinda	electro	One handed sword	Clorinda's stance lasts a fairly short amount of time, so the short duration of Mona's Omen is not critical to the value of the buff. When playing this duo, it is better to collect Mona completely as a , without focusing on additional damage.

Sub-dd

Heroes that deal damage without being on the field.

Character	Element	Weapon	Effects
Rosary	Cryo	A spear	A decent Cryo battery, applicator and damage dealer from the ultimate. Shares a percentage of its critical chance, so it is well suited for rotation with procasters in battle.
Charlotte	Cryo	Catalyst	Inflicts periodic Cryo damage on enemies. An explosion of elements restores health depending on the strength of the attack.
Beidou	electro	Two-handed sword	Electro pocket damage dealer, source of mass elemental status. Powered by normal and charged strikes, launching chain lightning that travels between enemies. It also reduces damage and can absorb some of the damage with a shield.
Fischl	electro	Bow	Pocket-dd with damage to one target. With her skills, the Princess of Condemnation summons a companion for t attacks.

Top Teams

In the buffer and sub-DD positions, Mona's functions differ only due to her builds, and the teams selected for these roles are the same. For the main-dd astrologer, a squad is selected for the Par reaction, since in other cases it deals much worse damage.

From the characters discussed above, you can make the following strong teams:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Ayaka	Shen He Rosary	Mona	Kazuha Kokomi	Team with permanent Freeze for Ayaka. The main dd is the source of persistent Cryo status, and the sub dd closes resonance for her, buffs her, or works as a battery. Mona, paired with a in the last slot, applies and s Hydro on opponents.
Ganyu	Venti Kazuha	Mona	Dione Laila Zhongli	Squad with Ganyu as the main DD. Like the pack above, it is designed for Freezing, where Anemo groups enemies, the astrologer applies Hydro, and in the last cell a shield for resistance to interruption and survivability.
Wriothesley	Xingqiu Ye Lan	Mona	Dione Laila	Freeze with a Cryo Catalyst at the heart of the team and two resonances. Duke plays from the normal attacks that Hydro sub-dd works with. Mona is an additional Hydro applicator and buffer from the ultimate. The shield protector closes the resonance and maintains the health of the main damage dealer at the required level.
Wriothesley	Rosary Shen He	Mona	Bennett	A unit suitable for instant devastating damage to a single target, such as a boss fight. The ultimates are selected in such a way as to maximally buff the damage of Risley’s superpower and destroy the enemy with one cast.
Mavuika	Furina	Mona	Shilonen Citlali	With two Hydro sub-DDs, Mavuika will be able to fully utilize her charged attacks and constantly hit with Par's reaction. Shilonen or Sitlali will help with the ultimate set and resistance cut, which will simultaneously cover the need for survivability. Mona both gives a buff from the ultimate and covers Hydro resonance.
Hu Tao	Kazuha	Mona	Zhongli	Popular Hu Tao pack. Kazuha clusters enemies and buffs elemental damage, Mona casts Hydro for the bulk of the battle, and Zhongli prevents enemy attacks from dealing damage. The astrologer's elemental explosion works in synergy with the main DPS ultimate.
Hu Tao Yanfei	Xingqiu Ye Lan	Mona	Dione Laila	Team with Pyro DD, working from Para. Hydro sub-dds in the second and third slots apply the Wet status, giving the main damage dealer the opportunity to close the reaction. Layla or Diona provide team survivability with shields.
Yanfei Kli	Kazuha Sucrose	Mona	Bennett	A squad ing the Pyro Catalyst. Mona performs the usual functions of a Hydro applicator, Kazuha or Sucrose groups enemies and dispels statuses. Bennett closes resonance, generates energy for ultimate damage control, heals and buffs attack power.
Tartaglia	Kazuha	Mona	Bennett	Command to accelerate the damage of Tartaglia's superpower. Kazuha increases elemental damage upon with Hydro, Mona inflicts the Omen status on the enemy, and Bennett buffs attack power. Childe uses all of his buffs to attack in a close stance.
Mona	Xiangling	Kazuha Sucrose	Bennett	Command for Mona's main dd, relying on Par. Xiangling is the source of massive Pyro status, Anemo pulls enemies and spreads this status, Bennett closes resonance and generates energy for the sub-dead super ability. The advantage of Sucrose in the team is additional units of elemental mastery.
Nile	Mona	Nahida Collei	Yao Yao Bai Zhu	Team from Budding with Nilu. Mona closes Hydro Resonance and increases the damage from the explosion of Dendro Cores. Nahida buffs the elemental mastery of the entire squad and hits from the pocket, but she can be replaced with Kollei if desired. Dendro healer ensures the survival of the squad.
Al-Haytham Tignari	Mona	Fischl Yae Miko	Cookies Dory	Team from Stimulation with Dendro damage dealer. Thanks to Electro Resonance, there will be no energy problems with reactions. Mona in such a squad is better to collect in a set Attack Power not particularly in demand for these damage dealers.
Mizuki	Mona	Fischl	Lisa	Hydro-Electro team, where the main damage is done by Electro damage dealers. Mona doesn't have much status, she is more needed for buff and distraction of enemies. Mizuki plays on the field and inflates the elements.
Sayno Yae Miko Clorinda	Fischl Beidou	Mona	Kirara Bai Zhu	Team with Electro damage dealer. Since Mona has a small amount of Hydro status, you should not count on a large number of Dendro cores from Budding and additional damage during Vegetation. However, the buff from Omen is extremely useful and will have a positive effect on the team’s damage.
Eola Freminet	Mona	Mika Bennett Yun Jin	Cookies Dory	Team with physical a damage dealer in the role of a hyper-carry, in whose buffs the entire team invests. Eola/Fremine deal the main damage, Mona strengthens them with her ult and book Dragon Slayer Epic. Either Mika or Bennett is ideal as a second buffer, if he does not have C6 activated, you can also take Yun Jin. The fourth slot is occupied by an Electro healer to carry out the Stimulation reaction.
Mona	Keia	Xiangling	Barbara	F2P squad for beginners with main dd astrologer. The team selected pocket damage dealers with similar mechanics: ultimates damage opponents in a certain radius around the main damage dealer. Hydro Resonance allows Barbara to heal better, but she can swap with a Shielder or another available healer.

How to play Mona

Mona has flexible gameplay, so she can perform many functions and take different positions. A damage-focused build allows her to lead the team, deal damage from the pocket, or become a procaster with her ultimate. The heroine performs well in combination with the instant damage of some main damage dealers, multiplying it with personal damage.

The Buffer Astrologer's options are more limited, but do not fundamentally change the gameplay: she is still on the team due to the need for Hydro and Omen status. The units in which Mona is useful do not depend on her build, so the sequence of activation of skills does not change.

Rotation

Approximate rotation when playing as Mona:

Use the defensive skills of your s - apply healing or generate a shield.
Activate your pocket damage control skills in order of duration and summon Phantom Mona to the field. Dispel statuses on enemies if the team has Anemo .
If your squad has heroes with destructive area damage, apply buffs first, then Mona’s superpower. Try to immediately deal damage to the team's main DD, since Omen's effect lasts only 4 seconds.
Use your main damage dealer's attacks while your sub-damage and defensive skills are active.
Monitor the energy of your ultimates and repeat the rotation on cooldown.

Сonclusion

Mona is a Hydro Catalyst with fast-paced yet uncomplicated gameplay. Endowed with high damage potential due to the damage multipliers of her abilities, she copes well with Hydro's application and distracts opponents with her skill. With an explosion of elements, it traps enemies in bubbles, preventing the movement of small monsters, and also imposes the negative Omen status to buff the damage of allies.

Mona's key feature is that she has an alternative build that is much easier to assemble. Doesn't lose effectiveness without constellations and plays great with free weapons. Endowed with a number of skills that are relevant at the beginning of the game, at later stages and in high-level dash list.

We hope we helped you put together the best build for Mona in Genshin Impact. stay tuned best squad builds.

Will the Diluc-Furina-Mona-Chicha squad work?

Sigmaboy

2 months ago

Answer Yolmer

Furina won't be able to stack fanfares because of Chicha's low heal, Diluc won't give status, and pyro status is the main thing in the squad through melting. Chicha has too little heal, and too little cryo status + Too much skill cooldown. It's better not to use Chicha but replace it with Rosaria. And so Mona fits well into this squad, so the squad will work if Diluc will consistently press Eshka

Hello, I'm going to spin Harlequin and I have a question, will the team suit her: Harlequin/Mona/Xingqiu/Zhongli
And I wonder what kind of artifacts should be put on the mona then?

Answer Cone

Excellent squad, NO-Mona is unfortunately quite a weak character now, and she is usually replaced. Harlequin is worth knocking out, After all, she gives huge damage, and in a pack through steam even reaches the damage of a melt. I would advise replacing Mona with Rosaria, and this pack with a little pumping will the abyss

Chaska, Mona, Cookie/Fischl, Diona normal squad?

Answer Hard

Good, but Mona is better to replace with Furina, in a pack with Diona and Kuki will give a huge buff. If you don't want Furina on your , but you want to pump up Mona, then it's better to replace Diona with Xiangling. The damage will be greater.
