Best Teams for Mona
Mona Works Best as a Vaporize Support
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Vaporize Team - With Mona's new buffs as a Hexerei character, she is now a dedicated Vaporize support who boosts the reaction damage. - Sucrose or Durin can be used as the 2nd Hexerei character for activating Secret Rite effect. |
| 2nd | ▼ Pyro Sub-DPS Vaporize Team - Mona can be used as a reaction driver for Vaporize with the Pyro coming from the Sub-DPS. - Xiangling is the best Vaporize Sub-DPS and having her damage boosted by 3 supports can work amazingly. |
| 3rd | ▼ Freeze Team - For a non-Hexerei team, Freeze team is able to make use of Mona's Omen debuff. - Mona can be used for Electro-Charged as well but her Omen debuff doesn't boost much damage there. |
| 4th | ▼ F2P Vaporize Team - F2P Vaporize team with Hexerei buffs. - Sucrose is used as the 2nd Hexerei and shreds RES for the DPS character. |
Mona's new buffs as a Hexerei character fully commit her into being a Vaporize support. The new Mercury buff can boost Vaporize damage but requires her to be on-field to stack it up. Omen can now be extended but also requires Mona's on-field time to do so.
Mona Team Comp Guidelines
Due to Mona's new buffs, her team composition differs a bit compared to before since she now needs a 2nd Hexerei character to activate her Vaporize buff. See below for the recommended 2nd Hexerei character:
| Durin | - Durin is able to shred the RES of enemies while also dealing off-field Pyro damage. - It's also easy for him to charge his Burst compared to other Pyro Sub-DPS characters. |
|---|---|
| Sucrose | - 4-Star Hexerei option but works well since she has access to the Viridescent Venerer set for shredding RES. - Can reapply Hydro or Pyro via Elemental Conversion on her Burst. |
Fischl can be used as alternative to Sucrose. But her Electro application can affect Hydro and Pyro reactions.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Mona | Favonius Codex Instructor x4 Main Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
Mualani | Surf's Up Obsidian Codex x4 Main HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. HP% 3. Elemental Mastery |
Xilonen | Peak Patrol Song Scroll Of The Hero Of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / Healing Bonus or DEF% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF% |
Durin | Athame Artis Crimson Witch Of Flames x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
With Durin's release, he can be used as Pyro Sub-DPS and RES shred debuffer. His role overlaps a bit with Xilonen's but Mualani has limited buffer options due to her HP scaling. Xilonen can provide healing but if you want a damage booster, Mavuika can be used.
Rotation Of Vaporize Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Mualani and use a Normal Attack to apply Hydro |
| 2 | Switch to Durin and use his Skill twice then Burst |
| 3 | Switch to Mona and use her Burst to debuff enemies with Omen |
| 4 | Use Mona's Normal Attacks multiple times to extend Omen and stack Mercury but don't consume too much time |
| 5 | Switch to Xilonen and use her Skill then hit enemies twice with her Normal Attacks to activate her Source Samples |
| 6 | Switch to Mualani and use her Skill |
| 7 | Collide with enemies until she receives 3 stacks and use her Normal Attack |
| 8 | Use Mualani's Burst before buffs end |
| 9 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire |
With a Hydro DPS, the rotation is a bit complicated since you need Mona's Hydro application removed using another character. This is to allow the Pyro aura to remain for Mualani to proc Vaporize with.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Mualani | ArlecchinoHu TaoChilde | - Any Vaporize DPS character can be used. - Adjust the support slots depending on the DPS. |
| Xilonen | SucroseBennett | - Sucrose is the only other Hexerei character that can be used for Vaporize. - She's free from clearing the new Witch's Homework gameplay. - For a non-Hexerei option, Bennett can be used as ATK buffer if Durin is still used. |
| Durin | MavuikaPyro Traveler | - Mavuika can be used as Pyro Sub-DPS alternative if using Sucrose for shred. - Pyro Traveler can also be used but has a weaker damage buff for the DPS. |
If you aren't using Durin, Sucrose should be the 2nd Hexerei character and any Pyro Sub-DPS can be used. But you can also use both Sucrose and Durin at the same time.

Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Skirk | AyakaWriothesley | - Both are good Cryo DPS characters that can be used as Freeze DPS. |
| Escoffier | DionaXilonen | - If Skirk is still the DPS, use Diona as alternative for Cryo/Hydro healer since she can provide a shield and hold Tenacity for buffing. - If you are no longer using Skirk but still using Furina, Xilonen should be used as alternative. - If both Skirk and Furina aren't used, Kazuha can be used as RES shred alternative. |
| Furina | YelanXingqiu | - Yelan and Xingqiu work similarly to Furina and can be used. |
When teambuilding with Skirk and Escoffier, make sure to use only Hydro and Cryo characters. But if both are being replaced, any Geo or Anemo character can be used for RES support.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Mona | Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |

F2P Vaporize team with Mona as damage booster. Only 4-Star characters and weapons are used for this team.
Rotation Of F2P Vaporize Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Xingqiu and use his Skill then Burst |
| 2 | Switch to Yanfei and use her Normal Attacks to erase any Hydro applied and change it with Pyro |
| 3 | Switch to Sucrose and use her Skill then Burst |
| 4 | Switch to Mona and use her Skill then Burst |
| 5 | Use Normal Attacks to extend Omen debuff and stack Mercury |
| 6 | Switch to Yanfei and use her Burst then Charged Attack |
| 7 | Use Yanfei's Skill to gain max seals then Charged Attack again |
| 8 | Deal damage with Normal Attacks and use her Charged Attack if max seals |
| 9 | Use Yanfei's Skill whenever it's available |
| 10 | Repeat from Step 1 once buffs expire |
Mona's Omen extension can be done midway Yanfei's turn if you want to be more efficient with the other teammates' buffs. However this requires precision on the timing to prevent Mona's Omen debuff from expiring.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Yanfei | Xiangling | - Aside from Yanfei, Xiangling is the only other good Vaporize DPS although she's an Off-Field character. - But she can be used as Pyro DPS if Bennett is added for Pyro infusion. |
| Sucrose | FischlDurin | - If you have to replace Sucrose, Fischl is the only other 4-Star Hexerei that can be used. - But if you have Durin, he can replace Sucrose but he is a 5-Star character. |
| Xingqiu | Aino | - Aino can be used as alternative to Xingqiu but her range can be limiting and without Ascendant Gleam, her Hydro application is lower. - But if the team is changed to focus on a Pyro Sub-DPS, Xingqiu can be replaced with a sustain support instead. |
If switching out characters for other 4-Star characters, it's best to change the team to a Pyro Sub-DPS Vaporize team.
