Who is Mona?

Mona is a world-renowned astrologer who spends all her money and time researching this profession. Unlike other astrologers, she does not charge for her predictions and never conjures fake ones. Because of this, fewer and fewer people use her services, and she always has very little money, especially since she spends it all on expensive materials to fuel her astrology obsessions.

Strengths and weaknesses

One of the good qualities of Mona is her Elemental Skill, which provides high mobility and allows you to move quickly and avoid enemy attacks. Also, her Hydro-based Elemental Skill is able to control opponents using taunt. Elemental Burst is also a very powerful skill that releases Illusory Bubble and after it pops, it also buffs the damage of your other skill.

But this hero may have problems related to survivability as she has low base HP and DEF and you will feel it especially strongly with opponents at close range as she is a ranged hero. Also, Mora can be very vulnerable because her magic attacks can drain her energy very quickly, so in addition to using her skill correctly, you also need to watch her stamina level.

Another difficulty in using this character is to create elemental reactions, as they are necessary for the hero to deal a lot of damage.

Mona is a character who deals most of her damage with skills that have Hydro DMG. That is why when you choose equipment for her, you should focus on items that give Elemental DMG Bonus. Mona is sub-DPS, so the items on our list give her additional crit DMG and crit rate, but equipment that gives energy recharge is also well-suited for this character.

Best weapons for Mona

Mona is a Catalyst user and there are quite a few weapons that work great with her. Based on the strengths of Mona, we recommend using these weapons:

Best artifacts for Mona

The great thing about Mona is how flexible of a unit she is. As such, her artifacts can vary depending on what your party needs. Use 4-piece Noblesse Oblige if no one in your party has this set equipped. If you want to play her as a burst Sub-DPS, then go for a 4-piece Emblem Severed Fate. On the other hand, 2-piece Heart of Depth and 2-piece Noblesse Oblige works best if you're looking for a Hydro Sub-DPS.

Best team comps for Mona

In most situations, Mona acts as a sub-DPS or damage-boosting support, and to unleash her potential you must choose the right heroes with whom she can make reactions with her Hydro element. Characters that have Cryo DMG synergise perfectly with Mona by causing Freezing. A hero like Kazuha is a great addition to the team because, in addition to control, it gives buffs to teammates and also reduces Elemental Resistance, which makes your damage even higher. In general, the characters from our list have team damage buffs as well as healing and Elemental Resistance reduction.
