Best Teams for Citlali
This article is based on the contents of Livestream and assumes that Citlali scales from Elemental Mastery. Information will be updated once Citlali is officially released.
Citlali is a Cryo Sub DPS that Can Support Hydro and Pyro Characters
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Vapemelt Team - Both Pyro and Hydro DPS can benefit from Citlali's passive - Vaporize and Melt will be the main damaging reaction while Freeze is used to increase the Hydro sub DPS' damage |
| 2nd | ▼ Melt Team - Citlali's Cryo application and passive is good for Melt teams - Pyro/Cryo elemental resonance can be used if wanting ATK/CRIT Rate buff |
| 3rd | ▼ Freeze Team - Hydro DPS is used instead of a Cryo DPS - Cryo Freeze teams can use Citlali but the Hydro sub DPS will benefit more instead of the DPS |
Citlali has the ability to shred the Hydro and Pyro RES of enemies when teammates trigger Frozen or Melt reactions. She can also hold Cinder City set and use it to buff her teammates' Elemental damage. This makes her a good sub DPS and support for Cryo related reactions aside from Superconduct

Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Arlecchino | Hu Tao Yoimiya Pyro Traveler | - Since this is also a team that needs Frozen to trigger Citlali's passive for Hydro RES shred on the enemy, a Pyro DPS that does not Shatter frozen enemies is preferred - The listed Pyro DPS do not have the ability to trigger Shatter with their attacks |
| Yelan | Xingqiu Ayato | - Both are good Hydro sub DPS and can be used. Ayato has the ability to buff Normal Attack DMG in his Burst range. |
| Kazuha | Sucrose Venti Lan Yan | - All three are good Swirl supports and can be used |
A 2nd Cryo sub DPS can be used if not wanting to use an Anemo character.

Hydro and Cryo resonance can benefit HP-scaling DPS characters like Neuvillette and Furina.

| Furina | Xingqiu Yelan Mona | - All three are good Hydro sub DPS that has their own buffs that can help the team |
