P.S. Mona can be used in a Nilou Bloom template too, not an optimal choice for the 2nd Hydro but she can still do the job! Full EM build, could give her PAmber, SacFrag, Fav. Again, note that Omen will not buff Blooms, and dashing for more Hydro app will help for Core generation.

Should i use Mona or Xingqiu on my team?both are c0,and my team is Raiden, Xianyun, and Bennett

[@SaeWhat21]

"We dont want to stress out our players or cause anxiety" Mona's burst having 12 hidden mechanics since launch

[@GReyn]

Lol yeah.. i skipped mona for the longest time, because i never understand her burst.. I use her occasionally, but i usually just unga bunga with it..

[@effortlessfury]

Man, it's great how people love to take that out of context constantly, like they hold some sort of grudge.

[@MusicLoverInTheSky]

This would make sense if most kits were this complex (or more) but it's actually the opposite. Also, I agree with the comment above. Repeated out of context due to butthurtness. It's been, I don't even know, a year? Let it go already. 😂

[@acanthafiore]

And her C1 not working since launch.

[@AmEverBloom]

Well...... they don't tell us all the mechanics on her burst in the talent description. That's why it is call "hidden" mechanic. They literally didn't stress me out as I never know about it until some sweaty players discovered it.

[@YenBi33198]

I'm happy that older characters are having an updated guide. I was thibking of building Mona, maybe this is the sign I was waiting for. Great guide as always, Sevy 🎉

[@HSR...GI...]

[@biggestouf]

There are rumblings of a funni build with Furina using the Maidens beloved set and prototype amber.

[@_.soymilk]

I recently triple crowned her and I use her as a dps with a dendro character and kuki. Not the best team for hyperbloom but it’s fun and feels great in over world

[@joaolana3425]

It was just Mona...

[@YenBi33198]

@@HSR...GI... I already leveled her up, with her burst at lvl 8. I'm just trying to find an updated guide since there were a lot of new weapons and artifact sets that we can use. Also, I knew about the Mona one shot showcases using burst, but I always butchered it, so Sevy explaining it really helps, too.

The literal day I finally unlocked Mona from a free acquaint fate, this video was uploaded. Its literally written in the stars huh?

[@jetspeed500]

I've noticed that so many of the new catalysts we've been getting lately would be INCREDIBLE on Mona and even make her more viable as a Main DPS or Driver in a lot of comps. This guide is great to see! :D

[@bajcli]

I haven't played Genshin in a while, but my problem was always that I always felt like Kokomi is just a strictly better driver for something like EC as she covers the sustain role as well. Mona's damage contribution mostly only shines in freeze teams anyway, and those are usually better off with a cryo damage dealer on the field most of the time. Got this guide in my recommendations so I've been watching it to see if anything changed, but it doesn't seem that way.

[@TheLandBeforeHeim]

​@@bajcliMona vaporize teams hitting for over a million is very viable to me. 100% burst uptime is insanely easy to manage on her

[@nazzy2950]

when you think abt it, Mona is the actual first generalist buffer. Now we have Zhong Li and Furina too

[@EinSilverRose]

Mona and Xinyan have some amusing synergy in Burgeon teams. With Xinyan's shield pulse you can trigger Dendro Cores and Burgeon by spamming Mona's dash.

[@randomness.stupidness]

as a xinyan main i cant wait to get mona

[@Chad1153]

the problem is if you're building xinyan for burgeon then you will have to go full em = really weak shield, so basically 1 hit and thats it, no shield = no burgeon

[@EddyConejo]

@@Chad1153 Yup. I wish Xinyan was as good as Thoma for burgeon but she simply cannot share or get a niche of her own. It's so sad.

Damm, did not expect a Mona guide of all characters - but I LOVED it! You have the best and most comprehensive explanation of her burst imo than any other mona guide I've seen. Thanks for a great video!

[@rurintoge7425]

I'm always so grateful when someone grabs old characters and makes updated guides for them. Three years changed quite a few things, after all. Thank you!

[@mindblower8091]

This is, without a doubt, the clearest explanation of Mona's vaporise Nuke. Most other guides explain the steps clear enough, but this is the best explanation of WHY we need to do the steps in this specific way. Amazing work

[@okeyjay]

Honestly mona is a character I've never been able to get a full grasp on. This guide is a welcomed reminder to try to finally master her aha

[@nirokoo]

FINALLY AFTER 3 YEARS A SEVY GUIDE ON MONA

[@thomasngy.5378]

The long awaited updated Mona guide!! Thanks Sevy :DDD

[@zippo718]

3.5 years later I finally learn what Mona's burst does lol. Even back when she was meta, I just knew her burst was good but not how, so I used her burst whenever and never knew if it was vaporizing the big hit or not. Never use her these days but Diluc and her are racing to be my first C6 5 star 😂

[@markmoore7620]

I've been waiting for your Mona guide! It's fantastic! Thanks for posting!!!

[@mhbarney8499]

YES YES finally someone is doing a recent guide for her. She was, is and forever will be best girl. ❤ I must say tho...I really dislike her censured Outfit. And no, its not because its less horny...its rather because it doesnt match her being an astrologist very well. The OG Outfit was clearly made with the calm night sky in mind. The colours fit perfectly and it was just smooth. The new one however has way to much stuff going on. Your eyes dont know where to rest while looking at her. And the colours changed too for some reason ... they now are way to bright to resemble that beautiful calm night sky. Thats at least my take on the matter. Edit: I think you are the first who explained why the bubble does not pop on certain enemies. You really did a good job there.

[@avery3373]

was looking for an updated mona guide the other day! thank you

[@jackreacher7495]

Mona has always been one of my mains. I know it's not optimal, but she's so fun to use as a main DPS. Nymph's Dream was a great addition for me - and pulling Neuv's catalyst was a blessing since it somewhat works with her kit's meaty charged attacks - my Crit Ratio is 78/182

[@vherdelviperblade753]

Ooh, close to mine wich is 72/185, but with lost prayers instead.

[@jackreacher7495]

@@vherdelviperblade753 I wish Lost Prayer's passive worked off-field - it'd be such a great standard weapon otherwise

[@di8085]

Mona Fischl combo is my first ever team in Genshin for a long time, and it's so fun, with Furina i hope i can bring back DPS Mona again in my team

[@jackreacher7495]

@@di8085 I feel you. She's definitely a character I can use on my Mona, at least, what with Neuv's catalyst. Furina plus Marechausse Hunter on anyone else is basically going to turn anyone into a Main DPS

[@ShotterGames]

That's the more fun way, Mona TTDS feels such a boring way to play her tbh, at that point I would just use Kokomi lol.

[@honeypeadigital]

Thanks for that. I’ve watched other videos on her burst and could not understand it. You broke it down very well.

[@AvocadoToast-]

I LITERALLY got two Monas last week - I needed this! Thanks, Sevy, you make my favorite guides! 😌

[@kodra2137]

I love your videos! The characters are described in great detail, yet explained in a simple way so that everyone can understand even the most difficult game mechanics (which the creators themselves cannot describe well apparently, like with the omen duration). I wanted to start playing with Mona since I got her C1 and your video helped me with finally understanding her kit. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@Easton_Johns0n]

I’m grateful for this guide, as a relatively new player, started well after the addition of dendro, most guides from the original characters are so old and out of date that I’m not even sure if they still hold up. I would love to see some rehashes of the older characters, if there’s enough different, or maybe a compilation video of some of the old characters. As always thank you for the amazing content Sevy!! ❤

[@jeon_willy]

This is the best explanation of Mona that I have ever seen on KZbin! Thank you! Now I understand many things better about its mechanics.

[@Darkkefka]

The only time I use Mona is when I’m using both Nilou bloom and ayaka freeze, In that case I use her to replace kokomi on the freeze team with the prototype Amber.

[@aidescal8]

Big thanks for this, Ms. Sevy! I am always puzzled on how to fully utilize Mona's burst, so I built her as an on-field agile DPS (also to bring more value of her C2 attacks). I'd like to share that an on-field Mona build with decent attack speed is fun and a bit dynamic. And with the smooth control of Mona's alt sprint, the Wine & Song weapon becomes a good choice for this build.

[@wiktoriakarbowniczek6690]

thank you so much for this mona guide!! i main mona for a 6 months now and i really needed a guide like this. it helped me a lot!!❤️

[@denysonwesley89]

As someone who finally got her after wanting her since day one 3 years ago I really appreciate this. Thanks!

[@CidPsy]

This is by far the best explanation guide I've found on any character from any KZbinr. Most focus on how to optimize the numbers and dmg potential but don't go in depth into how mechanically the moveset works, what reactions are triggered and how to take advantage of the character.

[@ishleyro5457]

A solid updated guide that had some useful info for me to tweak my ProtoAmber support Mona build Might have liked a mention that she's one of the few supports that directly buff an on-field Neuvillette, but Neuvillette guides do tend to mention that on their own anyway, so I suppose it's not strictly necessary info here Very happy with this guide overall ^-^

[@KyleThompsonW]

I've wanted Mona maybe more than any other character since I started playing in Nov. 2022 and a few hours after I watched this video (on the day it came out) I got her off a single wish I pulled from the standard banner just trying to get starglitter! I'm SO thrilled! Thanks for this guide!
