Mona’s always been a niche character for her unique damage amplification debuff, allowing her to excel in a fair bit of situations. But with how expansive the hydro roster has become, is she still in a good spot? Today we’ll look through Mona’s history to find out if she withstood the test of time.

Mona is my first 5 star, became my dps early game. Still use her occasionally on my freeze team
I GYATT to see this video
I have C6 Mona, unfortunately, and I just don't find her fun to play. Not even the C2 really makes the onfield presence feel good. Her animations are very clunky and the alt-dash doesn't help. Wish there were some way to toggle it off, honestly (Mona HAS a normal dodge animation, there just aren't a ton of places you can see it).
I think Mona was meant to be a hydro dps/driver, based on her constalations buffing her damage, giving her free charge attacks within her combo etcetc, but Hoyoverse saw how broken Xiangling was and refused to make another "off field" Pyro dps that someone like Mona would love. Imagine if Klee's burst worked off field? Mona would have an insane team due to being a catalyst user her hydro application onfield is amazing, and with how her burst works she was meant to do a big vape hit.
For those who want the sauce of that Mona art, it's KilaLesi.
I use her with my c1r1 hu tao alongside c2 elegy yelan and zhongli and am able to get up to 200k charge attacks on hutao while maintaining 70% crit rate (85% with c4 mona). Was able to 1 rotation clear all 3 bosses 2nd half in abyss floor 12. Unfortunatly this team only works comfortably with c2 yelan due to hydro application.
If anything Mona is BACK to meta as just about every C6 Furina is making use of her (which there are many me inlcuded) and on bosses like second half of abyss Furina + Mona is enough hydro app for my Hu Tao with crazy 150k+ per charged or even 200k with a proper rotation with Kazuha or Sucrose.
I used here with Neuvillette in the current abyss. Worked wonders
at least she will never fall off voice and character design wise 😭
Fischl when?
Funny enough for me, I actually did not use Mona that much until I got Furina. Previously, I was using her in my Nilou team as I did not like Barbara freezing the team and Xingqiu was taken by Hu Tao at the time. Once I got Kokomi, I dropped Mona. I'm currently running her with Furina and Yelan on my Hu Tao team, and it feels quite good. I have tried out the Jean and Bennett variant for the Hu Tao team and they are pretty good as well. My only problem for those 2 comps is having to play circle impact and Mona is able to benefit all 3 of my characters compared to the other 2. (The current abyss is also heavily favoring hydro applicators which is also a win.) On the side note, I wished that Hoyoverse did update her C1 since it benefitted all hydro related reactions that existed during the time of launch.
Keyboard players don't use Mona
So it's natural to think to them "she fell off"
Spoiler: Most you forgot her or had something against her 😒
As well still don't know how to play with so went for an "easier" character 😂
I find her very nice in my Dehya team with Furina and Jean; Mona's and Furina's skills together are enough hydro application for Dehya during her burst, and with both of their burst buffs active, Dehya deals great DPS; and with the nature of how Dehya's burst is, she can take advantage of the full omen duration without needing it to be longer unlike most other characters
it is sad to see how she's been powercrept over time, but she will always have her place
I still use her with hu tao, xingqiu, zhongli team if yelan is on the other team
I consider Mona to still be a decent unit but is is indeed true that as Genshin Impact matured she started to become less popular. I think the two major issues that hurt Mona (and discussed by Vars) was the introduction of of the Dendro element and the introduction of Furina.
Probably one of the few characters in Genshin Impact to noticeably be powecrept, although not to the same extent of her fellow 5* units Qiqi and and Diluc.
Mona is at least fortunate that it took a while to happen. Both Diluc and Qiqi were powercrept early in the first year of Genshin by Hu Tao and Diona respectively. For Mona, while she started geting lesser usuage when Dendro came out in 3.0, the final blow did not come until last month when Furina debuted.
The Astrologist should be fortunate that she was able to stay relevant for the last few years.
I never got around to building her (finding those mushrooms was annoying), so by the time i could, i already had Yelan, Ayato, Childe, and leveled up Xingqiu to buff Alhaitham. Her hydro application was atrocious for my teams so i deopped her. Plus i recently got Furina so i have no reason to build her anymore 😅
Mona was the reason I started playing genshin impact . I also was captured by the ass.trology . very interesting indeed
My first 5 star character, haven't used her since last year.
Your expectation vs. reality joke at 5:38 pierces me so personally- I tried to roll for Furina but instead only managed to get my first Mona
Its been 3 years and I still haven't got 1 Mona
Even though my Furina is fully built, I'll still build Mona the day I get her. She's the reason why I started playing.
I was a HARD Mona main during the 1st patch and halfway throughout the Inazuma patch but it really does feel like she fell off quite a bit.
I actually want to lose my 50/50 to Moan uh i mean Mona 👀
I remember playing maiden's proto amber mona in ayaka freeze team, before I got kkomi and rarely used Mona ever again….
She's my most wanted character. I don't care if she's not meta I love her design 🍑 If she ever has a banner or we get a way to choose a standard 5 she's coming home. I've even spent gems to roll standard banner for her. Being a day 1 player with c6 Qiqi and every other standard 5 even those I don't care about but still no Mona is proof of fate's cruel irony.
No matter how much Mona falls off, no matter how much she gets power crept, and no matter how much characters will be better than her. Nobody will ever beat Mona in terms of that divine ahh appealing af design. Imo, she'll always take the crown of being the hottest character fr.
wont watch the video, but no she hasnt. she was literally in the latest archon quest
Omen buff all damage tho.
Slap proto amber r5 and 4 noblese,
mona fit in any team including geo and anemo.
C1 increase on reaction c4 best as her support role too.
I have c5 Jean, c4 Keqing, c3 Diluc, c2 Qiqi, c1 Dehya, and still no Mona…..
Why you speak so fast
I still personally prefer Mona over Furina in my Ayaka freeze team / Ayaka Shenhe Kazuha Mona . Each chamber F12 takes no more then 40 seconds to clear based on how many Enemies rotations are.
Mona have great ASSets in her kit!
