Alternate title: so you got the wrong hydro unit Also just realized I made a typo Have fun pointing that out for me.

[@mraihanmaulaakbar6369]

Actually jayhoon, there's a bug where mona can trigger 3 Stacks of Kagura verity WITHIN 3 SECONDS. Basically you just have to Press E (Elemental skill) and quikly use mona dash to cancel the skill for 3 times. And boom, you got your stacks (~_^)

Ok so did you guys know that when a vision bearer dies, the elemental energy in the vision disperses? This is how kazuha burnt his hand, he was holding his friends vision while he was dying and the energyin leaking from the vision burnt his hand. When the vision losts it's energy, it just turns gray without glowing. This the one type of vision given to mona by her teacher, basically a useless gemstone. But one day, the vision just awakened again, becaming her vision.

[@ILoveChicken2021]

ohhhh so that’s how Kazuha burnt his hand

[@CalmingKookie5360]

I just realized that I have the same problem mona has. Only that it’s with robux

[@logicaltips4107]

I just started genshin and she arrived on the beginner banner. Using her with kaeya and fischl is pretty fun and clears most enemies quite well with frozen and electro charge spam

[@DNNYYCLR]

The most underused usefull unit in the game.

[@IGetIntoArgumentsForFun.67]

Right next to Sucrose.

[@lenardbraga6020]

Probably because Xingqiu exists.

[@tekrar8825]

I would love to use her but unfortunately, I got a C1 Qiqi 🙃 I've got great EoSF artifacts waiting for her, she just needs to come home.

[@entityahnilator1883]

This is very untrue, along with the comment with sucrose. Mona is used a lot in freeze teams, often put on a pedestal sometimes but yea, she is good. Sucrose on the other hand has been like a top tier support for the longest time.

[@sophyliang6347]

eh I mean morgana is pretty popular, and mona is often used in "the perfect combo" along with bennett and sucrose

[@nanasuyoru]

Since I have her till C6 I decide to use her as main dps too with skyward atlast, the damge number may not that much but it's really fun to use her 😁

[@Kinyek]

Correction about Kaguras Verity. Any Catalyst user who has a skill cooldown shorter than 16 seconds can get all 3 stacks due to the way it counts them, Mona in particular however is special. She can get all 3 stacks very quickly because her sprint can animation cancel her skill without putting it on cooldown, but still counting as a skill use. So just e, sprint, e, sprint, e, and bam, all 3 stacks.

[@SeminarChauffeur]

This popped up my feed as I was thinking that I want to help Mona out with her rent if I get isekai'ed, provided she's not a noisy roommate and is willing to tag along when I go out adventuring 😄

[@torontotransit]

Omg, I literally needed this now, thank you

[@Strife5342]

I legit just pulled her today! after all of the summons that I've done I finally got her. all the 50/50s I've lost ended up giving me a C6 Jean & C2 of every other standard 5 star!

[@serene21.]

[@AstralMuffin105]

Using "Pick of the Litter" for Mona is oddly fitting, lol. Excellent choice, Jayhoon!

[@Kylenzel]

Yes,i really want to since the beginning of my Genshin journey.I still choose her even after Kokomi arrived but all i got is nothing. I want to lose so bad just for her.

[@chiranjeevsingh6513]

Literally me I did a single pull not expecting anything and she came at low pity I think it was 50-60 something now i can finally run a good freeze team with my ayaka and ganyu or just yelan nuke lol

[@tyshen0329]

To vaporize with Mona's Q, you should stay onfield as Mona until the ICD is almost over so she gets benny's atk buff.

[@muhammadfaisal9350]

HERE IS A VAPORIZE TIP. After using her burst in benny ult, stay as mona until the 2 Second ICD cooldown ends. Switch to Benny and use his skill right away so that mona can keep the benny atk buff. If u didnt know, benny’s buff stays on the character for a little bit even after switching. The point is to keep the bennet buff on mona until character switch so u get more damage.

[@justahornydude1930]

I use Mona with 4pc Heart of Depths. Really liked barraging things with electrocuted water (with Ei and now, Yelan).

[@Xendrick]

Skullgirls music is always a treat to listen man

[@Silver-Arm]

Imo Mona is the character that deserves a buff the most. She has a lot of potential but there are many little things holding her back. The ult ICD is bullshit, they should get rid of it. Her skill should generate energy at the start, you wouldn't even need a battery anymore. Her skill should also deal the explosion damage at the start. The damage is surprisingly high, but it's impossible to vaporize at the end. And for one indirect buff, hydro res should change to +HP%. It wouldn't help her directly, but she would become a great support for duo hydro teams.

[@lenardbraga6020]

I think some of the recommendations were too nitpicky. If those so-called "little things holding her back" were remove, she will be just another Xingqiu, an overkit character with no downside. Meanwhile, the hydro resonance buff will be too broken for this game where Bennett, Hu Tao, Zhongli and now Yelan exists.

[@bluepandavideos559]

@@lenardbraga6020 That's really not too broken when we have 2 resonances that give you atk bonuses. As long as it's not a bullshiy amount of Hp, it'll be a fine change.

[@Silver-Arm]

@Artzyy Angel I think that might be a glitch. I tried to look it up a long time ago, but I found nothing. I don't know how to trigger it, it seems random. And it hasn't happened to me in a while, so I think they patched it. But that's exactly how I think her skill should always work.

[@ArnoldFrost]

I'd argue that even just among the standard 5-stars Diluc would be more deserving of one (outside the long overdue buffs needed for Keqing and the "50/50 destroyer" Qiqi)

[@Tom_Levski]

*Laughing in Keqing %Scaling* yeah sure.

As a c2 mona haver, i use mona, raiden shogun, c6 fischl, and either sayu or jean with vv set (but mostly jean bc i have my jean built while sayo is just stuck at lvl 20 for niw lmao) for electro charge team. For vaporize, i use mona, bennett, sucrose with vvset, and just a fill (i use raiden to fill but don't use her often on this team). For something fun, i use mona, bennett, aloy, and shenhe, it's really fun, i use it if im generally bored on the day or just resinless behaviour. And oh, my mona uses 4pc severed fate set and widsith.

I built mona and wnderer's troupe set is also good for mona but farming the set is like rng it will kick youre balls but for me i got lucky, wnderers troupe is optional but its still ok great for charge attacks, electrocution and burst bonus, farm wanderers troupe at youre own risk

[@astrokye_]

I usually run ER/ATK/CRIT for my mona on emblem set, and let her passive give me the hydro damage bonus. She needs ER for the emblem set to work and the ATK goblet makes up for her low ATK stat.

[@iki4600]

but what if you stack up her hydro dmg bonus more?..does it do more dmg or same?

[@astrokye_]

@@iki4600 honestly i think it does roughly the same damage. Obviously hydro damage bonus is better in most situations, but as a pure support, i prefer this build because she isnt going to be on field auto attacking much to worry about the hydro damage bonus. Of course you could do atk/hydro/crit while using favonius codex and that would even things out a different way, but i generally run my mona on thrilling tales for team atk buff instead of energy support

[@iki4600]

@@astrokye_ thanks ⊂(・﹏・⊂)

[@lenardbraga6020]

If using Emblem with Widsith or Kagura's Verity, ER-Atk-CritRate is more recommended since the passive of those two weapons provides enough Hydro Bonus. For Favonius, Atk or ER sands doesn't matter. But Hydro bonus is recommended if you go for Atk sands. Atk goblet if you go for ER sands. For Skyward Atlas, Oathsworn Eye and Memory of Dust, ER-Hydro-Crit is more recommended. For TTDS, her stats really doesn't matter anymore. Either of the given options are viable since she is just use for buffing in this set up.

Not great like a Kazuha or Venti - or even a Sucrose - but gets the job done to a degree.
