Mona Best Weapon
Burst DPS Build
| Weapon | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| Best | Skyward Atlas | ATK 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - Elemental Damage Bonus will benefit all of Mona's attacks - Better because of non-conditional Elemental DMG Bonus |
| 2nd | Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds | CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - High Crit Rate sub-stat makes building CR/CD easy - Requires Mona to stay on the field, not that good for a Burst DPS build, but will work as a stat stick |
| 3rd | Oathsworn Eye | ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Provides both ER and ATK increase to Mona |
| 4th | Favonius Codex | Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - Both ER sub-stat and weapon skill will help Mona to have a good Burst uptime |
| 5th | Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers | HP 35.2% (Lvl. 90) - HP Sub-stat will not benefit Mona - Main use is its weapon skill wherein it increases the ATK of the character you switch to when you switch off Mona |
| 6th (F2P) | Hakushin Ring | Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - Free to Play option - Best with an Electro-charge team, but can work with any other team comp as a stat stick weapon |
Either Go For ER or CR/CD
The goal is to have Mona's Burst available as much as possible so having an Energy Recharge is good for Mona. She also converts ER to Hydro DMG. If you have any CR/CD weapons available, that would also work seeing as Mona's Burst does Crit!
Hydro Main DPS Build
| Weapon | Details | |

| 2nd | Skyward Atlas | ATK 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - Elemental Damage Bonus will benefit all of Mona's attacks |
| 3rd | The Widsith | CRIT DMG 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - All of the weapon skill's random effect all benefits Mona - Crit DMG sub-stat will make building CR/CD easier |
| 3rd | Solar Pearl | CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - With Mona as main DPS, you can juggle between her Normal ATK, Skill, and Burst to increase the DMG between all of them |
| 4th | Oathsworn Eye | ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% sub-stat is good for increasing overall ATK |
| 5th (F2P) | Mappa Mare | Elemental Mastery 110 (Lvl. 90) - Good for running an Elemental-focused team comp |

Uses Of Mona's Elemental Skill
Distract Enemies With Taunt
Mona's Elemental Skill is a taunt for enemies, meaning while it's active, they will turn their attention to it instead of you. It also periodically applies Hydro to enemies around it.
Move Backwards By Holding
Holding Mona's Elemental Skill displaces her to the back while leaving a phantom. It is a great move for doing a strategic setup & evasion.
Uses Of Mona's Elemental Burst
Set Up For High Damage
Mona's Elemental Burst doesn't necessarily do high damage by itself, but it is a great set-up for high-damage combos. This is due to the effect that it applies which increases damage taken by enemies affected by it.
Restricts Enemies
Besides the increased damage, Mona's Burst also restricts the movement of lightweight enemies. Note that heavy enemies will be unaffected by this, but they will still have the lingering effects of the Burst.
Should You Pull for Mona's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Constellations Are Nice But Not Necessary
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C4 > C1 |
C4 Provides Crit Rate
Mona does not have a designated Signature Weapon, so the only real way of improving her performance in a team without considering investment into other characters is through her constellations. As a Standard Banner character, you cannot pull for Mona directly unless she is featured on a Chronicled Wish banner. If this is the case and you would want to invest in her constellations, C1 is decent for the buff it gives to Hydro reactions and if you have the means, C4 will likely her best constellation since it gives a modest Crit Rate buff to party members who hit an enemy affected by Omen, which will be good to have for teams that could make use out of her abilities as an off-field Hydro buffer.
Mona will feel complete as a character at C0, and while most of her constellations are composed of good to have bonuses to her base buffs, they aren't necessary for her to function as intended.

| ★★★・・ | C3: Restless Revolution Increases the Level of Stellaris Phantasm by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| ★★★★★ | C4: Prophecy Of Oblivion When any party member attacks an opponent affected by an Omen, their CRIT Rate is increased by 15%. |
