Best Teams for Citlali
Citlali Is A Support For Teams With Hydro Or Pyro Damage Dealers
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Melt Team - Citlali is an amazing support for Melt because of her Pyro resistance shred and off-field Cryo allowing Melt to happen. - Mavuika is the best Pyro DPS to use in this team because of her synergy with Citlali but any Pyro damage dealer will do. - Powerful team that is one of the best team in-game. |
| 2nd | ▼ Vapemelt Team - This team allows your character to produce either Vaporize and Melt reaction constantly. - This team is powerful and supports Citlali's ability fairly poor Cryo infliction off-field. |
| 3rd | ▼ Freeze Team - Make use of Hydro resistance shred and off-field Cryo of Citlali to freeze opponents. - Less damage than Melt teams but still an amazing option especially against non-boss opponents. |
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 Citlali an excellent support for such teams.
She is mainly an offensive support but also provides defensive options with her shields.
Melt Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
| Citlali | Starcaller's Watch Scroll Of The Hero Of Cinder City x4 Main: EM / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. EM |
| Mavuika | A Thousand Blazing Suns Obsidian Codex x4 Main: ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
| Xilonen | Peak Patrol Song Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main: DEF% / DEF% / Healing Bonus or DEF% Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF% |
| Bennett | Aquila Favonia Noblesse Oblige x4 Main: HP% / HP% / Healing Bonus or HP% Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% |
Citlali and Xilonen's Nightsoul point consumption can be used to charge Mavuika's Fighting Spirit. Xilonen and Bennett can both heal and buff the team. Mavuika is the on-field Pyro DPS.
Rotation of Melt Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Mavuika and use her tap Skill. |
| 2 | Switch to Xilonen and use her Skill then Normal Attack twice to gain Nightsoul Points. |
| 3 | Use Xilonen's Burst before switching her out. |
| 4 | Switch to Bennett and use his Skill then Burst. |
| 5 | Switch to Citlali and use her Skill then Burst to apply Cryo. |
| 6 | Switch to Mavuika and use her Burst to consume Fighting Spirit. |
| 7 | Use Normal/Charged Attacks as Mavuika to deal damage. |
| 8 | Repeat from 1. |
To avoid Mavuika's fast Pyro application overtaking Citlali's Cryo, you want to dash after every Charged Attack finisher move that Mavuika does. The finisher happens after Mavuika third spin on her motorbike, where she attacks an enemy with her Claymore directly. That animation is your signal to press Dash to cancel it, giving some time for Citlali to apply Cryo again while also saving a few seconds of clear time.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Mavuika | Hu Tao Arlecchino GamingChasca | - Any Pyro DPS can be used as long as they can infuse their attacks with Pyro. - Chasca can obtain Cryo bullets with Citlali on the team, which enables her to trigger the Melt reaction effectively. - Gaming will want to be paired with Xianyun. |
| Xilonen | Kazuha Sucrose Xianyun Lan Yan | - Any Swirl support with VV can be used as substitute. |
| Bennett | Zhongli Yun Jin DionaIansan | - Any support that can complement your DPS can work. - When using Iansan with Citlali, one has to use a different set other than the Cinder City set.. An example setup could be that Iansan equips Cinder City, and Citlali has Tenacity of the Millelith. |
If wanting more Cryo application, you can add a 2nd Cryo character or use Anemo VV character to replace Bennett.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
| Citlali | Starcaller's Watch Scroll Of The Hero Of Cinder City x4 Main: EM / EM / EM Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. EM |
| Arlecchino | Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main: ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
| Yelan | Elegy for the End Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% |
| Kazuha | Freedom-Sworn Viridescent Venerer x4 Main: EM / EM / EM Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. EM |
This team makes use of Citlali's ability to increase the DMG dealt by Pyro and Hydro. Arlecchino and Yelan are both good damage dealers. Kazuha can Swirl all elements and increase Cryo application if his Burst Swirls Cryo.
Rotation of Vapemelt Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Arlecchino and use her Skill to apply Pyro |
| 2 | Switch to Kazuha and use his tap Skill to Swirl Pyro |
| 3 | Switch to Yelan and use her Skill then Burst |
| 4 | Switch to Citlali and use her Skill then Burst to gain Nightsoul points |
| 5 | Switch to Kazuha and use his Burst |
| 6 | Switch back to Arlecchino and use her Charged Attack to gain Pyro infusion |
| 7 | Use Normal/Charged Attacks to deal damage. If her Pyro infusion ends, use Burst (to reset Skill cooldown) or Skill to mark enemies again |
| 8 | Repeat from 2 after buffs expire |
Arlecchino's rotation can be forgiving due to her Pyro infusion remaining even after she swaps out. So while the general idea of Arlecchino's rotations should be easy, there shouldn't be any issue if you accidentally swap out of her, unlike in most teams.
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 Furina | - Both are good Hydro Sub-DPSes with ample Off-Field Hydro application. When using Furina, ensure that you pair her with a teamwide healer like Xianyun or Xilonen. |
| Kazuha | Sucrose Venti Lan Yan Xilonen | - Anemo supports that can use Viridescent Venerer are good alternatives. - Xilonen can be ideal when you have Furina on the team. |
A 2nd Cryo or Hydro Sub-DPS can be flexed into the last slot if you don't want to use an Anemo character. You can also consider Bennett for his generous Attack buff.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
| Citlali | Starcaller's Watch Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main: EM / EM / EM Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. EM |
| Neuvillette | Tome of the Eternal Flow Marechaussee Hunter x4 Main: HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% |
| Furina | Splendor of Tranquil Waters Golden Troupe x4 Main: HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% |
| Escoffier | Symphonist of Scents Golden Troupe x4 Main: ATK% or Energy Recharge /Cryo DMG Bonus or ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT 3. ATK% |
Hydro and Cryo resonance can benefit HP-scaling DPS characters like Neuvillette and Furina. Citlali's passive can decrease the Hydro RES of enemies and with Cinder City, she can also buff Cryo and Hydro damage. Escoffier shreds Cryo RES while also contributing her own personal DPS, which can ramp up quickly alongside Furina's. Escoffier's teamwide healing also helps to stack Furina's Fanfare faster.
Rotation of Freeze Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Neuvillette's Skill |
| 2 | Switch to Furina and use her Skill then Burst |
| 3 | Switch to Citlali and use her Skill into Burst |
| 4 | Switch to Escoffier to use her Skill into Burst |
| 5 | Switch to Furina then use her Burst |
| 6 | Swap into Neuvillette then use Charged Attack x1, into his Burst, then his Skill, then finally end with more Charged Attacks |
| 7 | Repeat from 1 |
Escoffier's Cryo application will often be enough to main the Freeze reaction, but because her Skill is purely single-target, it's nice to have Citlali's AoE Cryo application complementing it. When facing multi-target endgame content, using Citlali's Burst is ideal, but in single-target, resorting to simply using her Skill and then normal attacking as Citlali can maybe help save a few seconds since her Burst animation is very long.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Neuvillette | Ayato Wriothesley Skirk | - Any Hydro DPS character with a Hydro infusion can be used in this slot. - Skirk can also be played with Citlali if you don't have Shenhe or Yelan. - Wriothesley also synergizes well with Citlali. |
| Furina | Xingqiu Yelan Mona | - All three are good Hydro sub DPS that has their own buffs that can help the team, but other Hydro characters with Off-Field application can also be viable. |
| Escoffier | Xilonen CharlotteShenhe Rosaria | - Xilonen can be a choice if the team doesn't include Escoffier but still has Furina in it, since Xilonen can help generate Fanfare with her healing. - Charlotte is also a good budget-friendly alternative when the team includes Furina due to Charlotte's teamwide healing. - Shenhe can be a good pairing for Skirk and Wriothesley. - Rosaria is a Cryo sub DPS who can buff the team's CRIT Rate. She's up for consideration in freeze teams that do not have Furina since Rosaria doesn't provide healing. |
Escoffier wants to be in a team with only Hydro and Cryo units to get the most out of her Inspiration-Immersed Seasoning talent, which shreds Cryo and Hydro RES. You can still pair her with other elements, but the overall shred she provides will decrease significantly. The fourth slot can be a teamwide healer with Furina, or a flex slot for more Cryo or Hydro application (depending on what you need) without Furina.
