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!

Build At Least 180% Energy Recharge

For a Burst DPS Build, you need to have at least 180% Energy Recharge in order to have a good Burst uptime. With the Emblem of Severed Fate set, you can even get an increase in your Burst DMG depending on the Energy Recharge.

Build CR/CD As Much As You Can

Mona's Burst crits so having a good CR/CD ratio is great for increasing her DPS. You can build around 50/100 CR/CD to ensure a good chunk of damage whenever she uses her Burst.

Mona Skill Guide & How To Use Mona

2When Burst becomes available, make sure that your main DMG-dealing attack from another character is available

Uses Of Mona's Elemental Skill

Distract Enemies With Taunt

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

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

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

Apply Restriction To 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.

★★★★・C4: Prophecy Of Oblivion

No Cons Or C1 Is Recommended

Since it's hard to acquire cons for Mona and that she's already highly viable without it, having her at C0 si okay. If you can, get her to C1 since the increase in Hydro damage is great especially when running her in Vaporize or Electro-charged comps.
