How to Play Mona Effectively

Mona is best used in quick-swap Burst support comps. Open with her Elemental Skill to taunt enemies and apply Hydro. Immediately follow with her Elemental Burst, which traps enemies in an Omen and primes them to take massively increased damage from the next hit — ideal for nuke rotations.

She excels when you set up her Burst just before an ally’s high-damage skill (e.g., Ganyu’s Charged Shot, Xiangling’s Pyronado, Ayaka’s Burst).

The best Mona build focuses on Energy Recharge and CRIT scaling to get her Burst back quickly and maximize the Omen effect. Her Skill taunt can also group enemies and trigger early reactions.

Use her sprint only for repositioning — it’s flashy but drains stamina quickly.

Is Mona Worth Building?

Yes — Mona is one of the best Burst supports in the game. If you use reaction-based nukes or Freeze comps, she significantly increases your total team damage output.

Even with no constellations, she brings massive value to meta and niche teams alike.
