P.S. Mona can be used in a Nilou Bloom template too, not an optimal choice for the 2nd Hydro but she can still do the job! Full EM build, could give her PAmber, SacFrag, Fav. Again, note that Omen will not buff Blooms, and dashing for more Hydro app will help for Core generation.
This would make sense if most kits were this complex (or more) but it's actually the opposite. Also, I agree with the comment above. Repeated out of context due to butthurtness. It's been, I don't even know, a year? Let it go already. 😂
Well...... they don't tell us all the mechanics on her burst in the talent description. That's why it is call "hidden" mechanic. They literally didn't stress me out as I never know about it until some sweaty players discovered it.
I'm happy that older characters are having an updated guide. I was thibking of building Mona, maybe this is the sign I was waiting for. Great guide as always, Sevy 🎉
I recently triple crowned her and I use her as a dps with a dendro character and kuki. Not the best team for hyperbloom but it’s fun and feels great in over world
@@HSR...GI... I already leveled her up, with her burst at lvl 8. I'm just trying to find an updated guide since there were a lot of new weapons and artifact sets that we can use. Also, I knew about the Mona one shot showcases using burst, but I always butchered it, so Sevy explaining it really helps, too.
This is, without a doubt, the clearest explanation of Mona's vaporise Nuke. Most other guides explain the steps clear enough, but this is the best explanation of WHY we need to do the steps in this specific way. Amazing work
I've noticed that so many of the new catalysts we've been getting lately would be INCREDIBLE on Mona and even make her more viable as a Main DPS or Driver in a lot of comps. This guide is great to see! :D
I haven't played Genshin in a while, but my problem was always that I always felt like Kokomi is just a strictly better driver for something like EC as she covers the sustain role as well. Mona's damage contribution mostly only shines in freeze teams anyway, and those are usually better off with a cryo damage dealer on the field most of the time. Got this guide in my recommendations so I've been watching it to see if anything changed, but it doesn't seem that way.
Damm, did not expect a Mona guide of all characters - but I LOVED it! You have the best and most comprehensive explanation of her burst imo than any other mona guide I've seen. Thanks for a great video!
I'm always so grateful when someone grabs old characters and makes updated guides for them. Three years changed quite a few things, after all. Thank you!
@@ZainAlshikh Same, but my account has lack a hydro something fierce so it wasn't too pain full. Actually now that I think think about it, I got ningguang, yanfei, and her one after the other. I the game is telling me to play more catalyst lol
Mona and Xinyan have some amusing synergy in Burgeon teams. With Xinyan's shield pulse you can trigger Dendro Cores and Burgeon by spamming Mona's dash.
the problem is if you're building xinyan for burgeon then you will have to go full em = really weak shield, so basically 1 hit and thats it, no shield = no burgeon
3.5 years later I finally learn what Mona's burst does lol. Even back when she was meta, I just knew her burst was good but not how, so I used her burst whenever and never knew if it was vaporizing the big hit or not. Never use her these days but Diluc and her are racing to be my first C6 5 star 😂
The only time I use Mona is when I’m using both Nilou bloom and ayaka freeze, In that case I use her to replace kokomi on the freeze team with the prototype Amber.
0:47 Id like to mention that Mona’s backward animation can also be a forward animation if you’re pressing forward or if I think there’s an enemy and she’s a bit far away
@@min2913Scara is a pretty straighforward dps, TTDS with Nobless on her is already good. If you have other party member holding Noblesse then you can go for EoSF for ER and even Instructor set for reaction-based support
@@min2913 from what I’ve seen, u just need to use her ult and then let scara do the job, no artifacts are really needed in boss fights. Like supposedly you probably already have noblesse oblige on benny so u can just go with er or burst damage on Mona like not much will change, but you do you
Big thanks for this, Ms. Sevy! I am always puzzled on how to fully utilize Mona's burst, so I built her as an on-field agile DPS (also to bring more value of her C2 attacks). I'd like to share that an on-field Mona build with decent attack speed is fun and a bit dynamic. And with the smooth control of Mona's alt sprint, the Wine & Song weapon becomes a good choice for this build.
This is by far the best explanation guide I've found on any character from any TH-camr. Most focus on how to optimize the numbers and dmg potential but don't go in depth into how mechanically the moveset works, what reactions are triggered and how to take advantage of the character.
Mona's Burst having 2.5s ICD after a 0 dmg initial Hydro application is some nonsense 😭 thanks for putting out this great and clear overview of how Mona actually works, Sevy!
YES YES finally someone is doing a recent guide for her. She was, is and forever will be best girl. ❤ I must say tho...I really dislike her censured Outfit. And no, its not because its less horny...its rather because it doesnt match her being an astrologist very well. The OG Outfit was clearly made with the calm night sky in mind. The colours fit perfectly and it was just smooth. The new one however has way to much stuff going on. Your eyes dont know where to rest while looking at her. And the colours changed too for some reason ... they now are way to bright to resemble that beautiful calm night sky. Thats at least my take on the matter. Edit: I think you are the first who explained why the bubble does not pop on certain enemies. You really did a good job there.
She was my first 5 star and i lost my first 3 50/50s to her... I wanted to build her but didnt really know how to... Now its time to finally build my Mona!
Mona has always been one of my mains. I know it's not optimal, but she's so fun to use as a main DPS. Nymph's Dream was a great addition for me - and pulling Neuv's catalyst was a blessing since it somewhat works with her kit's meaty charged attacks - my Crit Ratio is 78/182
@@di8085 I feel you. She's definitely a character I can use on my Mona, at least, what with Neuv's catalyst. Furina plus Marechausse Hunter on anyone else is basically going to turn anyone into a Main DPS
I literally pulled my first mona yesterday, and I was so bummed that you didn't have a video out yet because your genshin guides are the only ones I can understand. You have answered my prayers with this one! Absolute legend!
as someone whose been playing for only 43 days and got mona as my first ever 5 start this vid is really really helpful! thank you sooo much! I got Xingqui, fischl, xiangling and noelle and keaya and thoma at the moment... now I have the best guide on how to build a decent team! Thank you thaaank youuu
@@nicwolf1370 thank you! im looking forward to it too. good thing theres a lot of helpful comments and vids aswell available. thanks for the character examples too ill try them later!
I've wanted Mona maybe more than any other character since I started playing in Nov. 2022 and a few hours after I watched this video (on the day it came out) I got her off a single wish I pulled from the standard banner just trying to get starglitter! I'm SO thrilled! Thanks for this guide!
Finally, the Mona guide!! When I saw the notification, it hurt cuz I want Mona so bad but I haven't gotten her yet. I also realized 2:16 that the name of Sevy's Lumine is "Sevy" backwards🤣🤣
No, I'm here because it's been 3 years and I'm still unable to pull Mona. Like, seriously, I can pull any event characters no problem but Mona is extremely difficult to obtain. 3 years of playing and still no luck...
Ive heard that Mona might make an appearance in 4.2 archon quest and apparently her voice can be heard in the 4.2 version trailer. Its fitting in a sense that she gets an update guide right before the 4.2 patch lol
Thanks for showing much more love to my 1st ever 5* and soon to be c6. No matter how many good characters comes in the future she will always be one of my favourites.
I love that you're going back to review the older characters! So much has changed in the game, and a lot of older players will have these characters at multiple constellations now, so it's a shame not to be using them. Look forward to seeing more of these!!
I can't believe I've had Mona basically since launch (and recently got her to c6) and only now finding out she had all these hidden mechanics. Thank you for the guide because I would have never known otherwise!
One team you forgot to mention is Hu Tao double hydro replacing yelan. Xinqui can easily battery Mona with sac sword and you get the 60% damage buff instantly instead over a set duration
I’m grateful for this guide, as a relatively new player, started well after the addition of dendro, most guides from the original characters are so old and out of date that I’m not even sure if they still hold up. I would love to see some rehashes of the older characters, if there’s enough different, or maybe a compilation video of some of the old characters. As always thank you for the amazing content Sevy!! ❤
This is the best explanation of Mona's omen I've seen! I knew that freeze extends the omen's duration, but I never knew that it is due to its stagger resistance mechanic. It actually makes so much more sense now
A solid updated guide that had some useful info for me to tweak my ProtoAmber support Mona build Might have liked a mention that she's one of the few supports that directly buff an on-field Neuvillette, but Neuvillette guides do tend to mention that on their own anyway, so I suppose it's not strictly necessary info here Very happy with this guide overall ^-^
Nah The true redemption is Jean the only way Qiqi can work with furina is if during her burst you switch with all your characters and have them hit enemies inflicted with qiqis burst to heal up both being energy hungry is gonna be painful to run
@@ashleyn_axolotl9766 Yeah it's nice seeing Jean having a comeback too.Though on-field Qiqi can heal whole party so I was having some hopes in that lol, I really like that little poor zombie so I'm on highest of copiums that one day... she shall become usable again.
@@ashleyn_axolotl9766 Qiqi does work well with Furina and she's one of the best healers with her, "you will need to switch to your team" I mean... you will do it either ways, yk? Every rotation needs you to switch to your supports and use their skills to generate energy, therefore they will hit the enemies and get healed instantly, it doesn't matter whether that healing comes at once or one by one as long as you get the stacks by the time you switch to your dps. + Qiqi will continue to heal A LOT after that, which mean higher survivability. And the ER problem can be solved easily with Fav, Qiqi heals like crazy even with ER build. . + Driver Qiqi, especially in hyperfridge, in simply insane! Furina solves every single issue in Qiqi's kit and Qiqi gains Furina's stacks so fast! They synergize so well! Qiqi will be using Sac so no long CD, she doesn't even need her burst so no ER issues, she will apply cryo consistently for 100% of the time so no more "not good application", and she will deal good dmg with Clam set that can be increased with Superconduct, on top of her normal attacks that will get buffed by Furina. . People should stop sleeping on her just because of the overused 50/50 memes, Jean did get a better improvment but Qiqi did get a great improvment as well, she instantly jumped 1 or 2 tiers in meta.
@@SzczurzyslawaGood news for you, she's already usable again! (Has always been tho) She works well as the off-field healer in most Furina teams, mainly the freeze teams, if your dps doesn't need much ER (Wriothesley/Ganyu) or if you have enough ER on them (Ayaka) Qiqi is the best choice! Jean/Shenhe due is better for more dmg but Qiqi/Kazuha due is better for Kazuha's crowd control and Qiqi's higher survivability, Charlotte is the best if you need ER, but Qiqi is the best if you have enough. . Her best use isn't even as an off-field healer, but as an on-field driver, with Sac sword and Clam set she can be one of the (well, actually the) best driver for Furina. She heals, apllies consistent Cryo, has fast attacks, and deals good dmg with Clam set and/or dps build. Hyperfridge is probably her best team, with Furina, Nahida, and Raiden. Qiqi will be healing, driving with her fast NAs, applying cryo (cryo help making more blooms), and dealing good dmg. You should definitely try it! You can also try pretty much any team with off-field dmg dealers (Freeze with Yelan and Xingqiu, cryo dps Qiqi with Chongyun and Shenhe, physical dps Qiqi with any physical buffers...etc). . Have fun playing with our cute little zombie! ^^
@@-jno3164 I don't have cryo dps (yet) so I was rly interested in trying out hyperfridge! I don't have Raiden so Kuki will have to do, which is ok I think? Since Qiqi is in melee range anyway. I was thinking about cryo infused Qiqi with Chongy boy since I love him too! Not sure how viable that freeze team would be in abbyss scenarios but only time will tell ahah!
Mona was my first 5 star, got her from the standard banner. I hated her look and neglected her, but when her new outfit came I loved it. Now she's well build and is oart of my freeze team.
Mona remains awesome. She is an incredibly flexible hydro character that can fit into damn near any team one can imagine. On top of that I've always loved her movement mechanics and now that she doesn't get stuck on ground elevation anymore it's even better!!!! She is 1 of those characters one needs to actually get used to using and both understand and practice... But if you do she is bloody fantastic.
Finally i can understand her kit better... The omen buff and timing of the attack was always an issue for me... Thank you sevy for the clear explanation and presentation... I love and appreciate the details given.. 🙏🏽
Mona is an amazing character. It baffles me players don't put her on the same pedestal as Bennet or Kokomi. A well built mona can burst almost every rotation and desintegrate the enemy in a second. She gives more EM and crit rate with constellations... She is irreplaceable to me no matter how much time passes. Put her in a team with Nahida and watch the magic happen. It's kinda sad (and childish) that people tend to bench or even "hate" a character simply bc they lost a 50/50 to them and I say that as an f2p.
I love Mona too but I personally don’t think she’s Bennet or Kokomi level. Her buff is way shorter than Benny’s (my fav character 😢 ) and she doesn’t have as much hydro application compared to Kokomi. Personally I think her c2 should be changed (a lot of the og 5 stars should have a rework tho) to give her more skill duration or give her another charge of it bc I hate that random free charge attack. I know her passive talent can give her a free use but it’s so short and it takes field time (if you’re using her for support which I tend to do and I feel like she’s meant to do). She is rlly strong tho, I don’t rlly use her in dendro teams or pyro. I use her with my Wriothesley in freeze.
@@lordjftw6991 You made pretty valid points! She is in no way a flawless character and her kit could use some mending but overall, I think her role is unique to her. As more characters come out, be it supports or Dps, they become interchangeable. Mona's kit, with all its shortcomings, is unique and pretty effective. I really recommand using her with Nahida, Kuki and Keqing. It's one of my favourite teams :)
@@medbeth9857 I agrée. It’s just so weird that they made the power 5 so strong (especially Benny) and then everyone else was just ok. Diluc and Keqing are décent dps’s while Jean and Mona both have small issues imo.
hey Sevy! i would love to see a video from you on reactions, have you ever thought about doing that? you're so good at explaining stuff, i've been playing this game since 2020 and i feel like i finally understood how to do vaporize. if that's something you like, a video on reactions would be so useful not only for new players but old, hag dummies like me. love you, have a good one 🫰🫡
omg I was just thinking yesterday about how often I play mona and would love to see you make an upgraded guide on her xD aren't I the lucky one , I manifested it I guess LOL , great vid !!! as usual :D
I love your videos! The characters are described in great detail, yet explained in a simple way so that everyone can understand even the most difficult game mechanics (which the creators themselves cannot describe well apparently, like with the omen duration). I wanted to start playing with Mona since I got her C1 and your video helped me with finally understanding her kit. Keep up the good work! ❤
I've been running Mona since 1.00 and had her Venti Chongyun and Razor as my team for the longest. 3 years later she is now c4 with R5 Wisdith and I run her with Morgana and my exploration team
my favorite Mona build is turning her into a healer/buffer for freeze team Prototype Amber, 4pc Emblem, ER/Hydro DMG/Crit for non-freeze team Prototype Amber, 4pc Emblem, ER/Hydro DMG/Heal She just needs enough ER to ULT regularly, Prototype Amber and 4pc Emblem helps with that, you could probably use 4pc Maiden with a Heal Circlet but I rarely find that I need more healing even in the Abyss, especially for a Freeze team, so I opted for 4pc Emblem, ER sands, Hydro DMG and Crit circlet so she can still do decent damage while also healing and buffing. by having her heal and buff, you can free up a healer spot for another character. I usually use her in an Ayaka/Ganyu/Mona/Venti team.
9:10 I think this is my most common mistake when I do Vape teams with Mona. I sometimes panic and not think about the 2 second ICD for Vape reaction when I pop the bubble or check if my enemy has an elemental aura. 😅
I will be honest, I always loved how Mona just beautifully synergizes with Severed Fate by straight up double dipping with its ER Scaling. Give her Favonius or Oathsworn Eye, or any other ER weapon with mainly ER substats and see how her Hydro Damage% soars to over 100% on top of the massive Burst DMG% she gets from Severed Fate.
I was thinking you were over-rated, because of a first pov when I was mad for no reason. But no, this guide is good with some nice gameplay and advice. You know when you have to go in detail, and when you dont, and think about the non-meta players that like quirky builds, like mona DPS. Thank you and please, continue !

One team you forgot to mention is Hu Tao double hydro replacing yelan. Xinqui can easily battery Mona with sac sword and you get the 60% damage buff instantly instead over a set duration
I’m grateful for this guide, as a relatively new player, started well after the addition of dendro, most guides from the original characters are so old and out of date that I’m not even sure if they still hold up. I would love to see some rehashes of the older characters, if there’s enough different, or maybe a compilation video of some of the old characters. As always thank you for the amazing content Sevy!! ❤
"maybe you're here because you lose your 50/50" YES I AM, TWICE
Same
Was pulling for neuvullete and got Mona instead
I had 5 pity and I pulled her on accident 0:07
The way I was thinking about rebuilding my Mona earlier and this pops up moments later :0 standard character guides can quickly become outdated so ty!
This is the best explanation of Mona's omen I've seen! I knew that freeze extends the omen's duration, but I never knew that it is due to its stagger resistance mechanic. It actually makes so much more sense now
A solid updated guide that had some useful info for me to tweak my ProtoAmber support Mona build
Might have liked a mention that she's one of the few supports that directly buff an on-field Neuvillette, but Neuvillette guides do tend to mention that on their own anyway, so I suppose it's not strictly necessary info here
Very happy with this guide overall ^-^
Oomg pog yesss thank you Sevy ahah! I wonder if with Furina beefing healers we'll get some Qiqi redemption and maybe a guide dunno 👀
Nah The true redemption is Jean the only way Qiqi can work with furina is if during her burst you switch with all your characters and have them hit enemies inflicted with qiqis burst to heal up both being energy hungry is gonna be painful to run
@@ashleyn_axolotl9766 Yeah it's nice seeing Jean having a comeback too.Though on-field Qiqi can heal whole party so I was having some hopes in that lol, I really like that little poor zombie so I'm on highest of copiums that one day... she shall become usable again.
@@ashleyn_axolotl9766 Qiqi does work well with Furina and she's one of the best healers with her, "you will need to switch to your team" I mean... you will do it either ways, yk? Every rotation needs you to switch to your supports and use their skills to generate energy, therefore they will hit the enemies and get healed instantly, it doesn't matter whether that healing comes at once or one by one as long as you get the stacks by the time you switch to your dps. + Qiqi will continue to heal A LOT after that, which mean higher survivability.
And the ER problem can be solved easily with Fav, Qiqi heals like crazy even with ER build.
.
+ Driver Qiqi, especially in hyperfridge, in simply insane! Furina solves every single issue in Qiqi's kit and Qiqi gains Furina's stacks so fast! They synergize so well!
Qiqi will be using Sac so no long CD, she doesn't even need her burst so no ER issues, she will apply cryo consistently for 100% of the time so no more "not good application", and she will deal good dmg with Clam set that can be increased with Superconduct, on top of her normal attacks that will get buffed by Furina.
.
People should stop sleeping on her just because of the overused 50/50 memes, Jean did get a better improvment but Qiqi did get a great improvment as well, she instantly jumped 1 or 2 tiers in meta.
@@SzczurzyslawaGood news for you, she's already usable again! (Has always been tho)
She works well as the off-field healer in most Furina teams, mainly the freeze teams, if your dps doesn't need much ER (Wriothesley/Ganyu) or if you have enough ER on them (Ayaka) Qiqi is the best choice! Jean/Shenhe due is better for more dmg but Qiqi/Kazuha due is better for Kazuha's crowd control and Qiqi's higher survivability, Charlotte is the best if you need ER, but Qiqi is the best if you have enough.
.
Her best use isn't even as an off-field healer, but as an on-field driver, with Sac sword and Clam set she can be one of the (well, actually the) best driver for Furina.
She heals, apllies consistent Cryo, has fast attacks, and deals good dmg with Clam set and/or dps build.
Hyperfridge is probably her best team, with Furina, Nahida, and Raiden. Qiqi will be healing, driving with her fast NAs, applying cryo (cryo help making more blooms), and dealing good dmg.
You should definitely try it!
You can also try pretty much any team with off-field dmg dealers (Freeze with Yelan and Xingqiu, cryo dps Qiqi with Chongyun and Shenhe, physical dps Qiqi with any physical buffers...etc).
.
Have fun playing with our cute little zombie! ^^
@@-jno3164 I don't have cryo dps (yet) so I was rly interested in trying out hyperfridge! I don't have Raiden so Kuki will have to do, which is ok I think? Since Qiqi is in melee range anyway. I was thinking about cryo infused Qiqi with Chongy boy since I love him too! Not sure how viable that freeze team would be in abbyss scenarios but only time will tell ahah!
omg i had so much trouble undestanding her kit, this video was perfect thank youuuuuu
Mona was my first 5 star, got her from the standard banner. I hated her look and neglected her, but when her new outfit came I loved it. Now she's well build and is oart of my freeze team.
I love her original skin and hate the new one
I like both, both is good
The research sevy put in this is godly. THANKYOU
Mona remains awesome. She is an incredibly flexible hydro character that can fit into damn near any team one can imagine.
On top of that I've always loved her movement mechanics and now that she doesn't get stuck on ground elevation anymore it's even better!!!!
She is 1 of those characters one needs to actually get used to using and both understand and practice... But if you do she is bloody fantastic.
Finally i can understand her kit better... The omen buff and timing of the attack was always an issue for me... Thank you sevy for the clear explanation and presentation... I love and appreciate the details given.. 🙏🏽
Mona is an amazing character. It baffles me players don't put her on the same pedestal as Bennet or Kokomi. A well built mona can burst almost every rotation and desintegrate the enemy in a second. She gives more EM and crit rate with constellations... She is irreplaceable to me no matter how much time passes. Put her in a team with Nahida and watch the magic happen. It's kinda sad (and childish) that people tend to bench or even "hate" a character simply bc they lost a 50/50 to them and I say that as an f2p.
i use her more often than bennett tbh
I love Mona too but I personally don’t think she’s Bennet or Kokomi level. Her buff is way shorter than Benny’s (my fav character 😢 ) and she doesn’t have as much hydro application compared to Kokomi. Personally I think her c2 should be changed (a lot of the og 5 stars should have a rework tho) to give her more skill duration or give her another charge of it bc I hate that random free charge attack. I know her passive talent can give her a free use but it’s so short and it takes field time (if you’re using her for support which I tend to do and I feel like she’s meant to do). She is rlly strong tho, I don’t rlly use her in dendro teams or pyro. I use her with my Wriothesley in freeze.
She’s not even that good anyway
@@lordjftw6991 You made pretty valid points! She is in no way a flawless character and her kit could use some mending but overall, I think her role is unique to her. As more characters come out, be it supports or Dps, they become interchangeable. Mona's kit, with all its shortcomings, is unique and pretty effective. I really recommand using her with Nahida, Kuki and Keqing. It's one of my favourite teams :)
@@medbeth9857 I agrée. It’s just so weird that they made the power 5 so strong (especially Benny) and then everyone else was just ok. Diluc and Keqing are décent dps’s while Jean and Mona both have small issues imo.
I pulled 10x from standard banner and just got her, thanks for your explanation!
I love mona, she's been my favorite character since day one but it's sad that she got power creeped so hard as a 1.0 character in a 4.3 game
She works wonderfully with Nilou superbloom, especially if she's C2
@@joaolana3425 the problem is that I don't think she works better than like ayato or any other hydro main dps
Omg yesss I've been waiting for this!!!
hey Sevy! i would love to see a video from you on reactions, have you ever thought about doing that? you're so good at explaining stuff, i've been playing this game since 2020 and i feel like i finally understood how to do vaporize. if that's something you like, a video on reactions would be so useful not only for new players but old, hag dummies like me. love you, have a good one 🫰🫡
I lost 50/50 so im here ...... 🤣🤣🤣 😢
I lost my 50/50 with the arlecchino banner 🥹
I lost 50/50 on Wanderer😢
I got in single single standard wish😅
And got clorinde Another day in single wish
Same😂🥲
Glad to see this guide! I just got 2 back to back Mona from the standard banner, so it's pretty much a sign to start playing her again!
Sorry, not building her. Shes basically my Qiqi, ironic because i don't even have her
omg I was just thinking yesterday about how often I play mona and would love to see you make an upgraded guide on her xD aren't I the lucky one , I manifested it I guess LOL , great vid !!! as usual :D
Letsss goo I didn't know I needed this until now
Thank you for making a Mona 4.2 guide this really helped me out with changing her weapon and seeing what the best team is for her
I got C3 mona today and boom algorithm blessed me with your video. Thank you sevy ❤️ for sharing this.
Have a blessed day.
oh my god!!! thank you so much for giving updated guides for older characters--especially for us who lost our 50/50. love you, sevy!
I love your videos! The characters are described in great detail, yet explained in a simple way so that everyone can understand even the most difficult game mechanics (which the creators themselves cannot describe well apparently, like with the omen duration). I wanted to start playing with Mona since I got her C1 and your video helped me with finally understanding her kit. Keep up the good work! ❤
thank you so much for this mona guide!! i main mona for a 6 months now and i really needed a guide like this. it helped me a lot!!❤️
Mona my baby, she's been with me day 1 and I have never taken her off my team.
YOOOOO a Mona guide! My favorite character and the reason I started playing this game 💙
Wow, Thanks for this. I realized I haven't played Mona for months!
I came to this guide bc I lost to Mona 3 times in a row and now she’s C4 and I consider to build her and try her out! Thanks Sevy!!!
Thank you for the in-depth guide! Most people don't take enough time to explain the burst in such detail. Eggscellent
AH! THANK YOU SEVY! Finally a proper guide on mona!
This is the best Mona guide I've ever watched, even as a Mona fan. I really love Sevy's guides. Keep it up!
I've been running Mona since 1.00 and had her Venti Chongyun and Razor as my team for the longest. 3 years later she is now c4 with R5 Wisdith and I run her with Morgana and my exploration team
Thanks for the comprehensive guide! Am planning to build her next.... Oh, and also, you have a beautiful voice. 😄
I've struggled with a "useless" Mona for so long. Thanks for the guide.
Best possible explanation of her burst mechanics. Thank you
my favorite Mona build is turning her into a healer/buffer
for freeze team
Prototype Amber, 4pc Emblem, ER/Hydro DMG/Crit
for non-freeze team
Prototype Amber, 4pc Emblem, ER/Hydro DMG/Heal
She just needs enough ER to ULT regularly, Prototype Amber and 4pc Emblem helps with that, you could probably use 4pc Maiden with a Heal Circlet but I rarely find that I need more healing even in the Abyss, especially for a Freeze team, so I opted for 4pc Emblem, ER sands, Hydro DMG and Crit circlet so she can still do decent damage while also healing and buffing.
by having her heal and buff, you can free up a healer spot for another character.
I usually use her in an Ayaka/Ganyu/Mona/Venti team.
Nice guide, i think i'll finally use my Mona since she's always come when i lost 50/50 till she's C6
When I got Mona, it's really rare to find a build guide for her. Huhu. Thank you, Ate Sevvy for this. ❤️
you're a powerhouse of information and entertainment!
9:10 I think this is my most common mistake when I do Vape teams with Mona. I sometimes panic and not think about the 2 second ICD for Vape reaction when I pop the bubble or check if my enemy has an elemental aura. 😅
I’ve been a Mona main for 2 years now, love the guide!
Sevy you surprised me with this one 😂. I had to do a double take. Great job as always tho love the content you put out.
wow this is great timing! i finally started leveling Mona the other day xDD
Been playing Mona DPS for years and never saw anyone else mention the poise mechanic, well done!
I will be honest, I always loved how Mona just beautifully synergizes with Severed Fate by straight up double dipping with its ER Scaling. Give her Favonius or Oathsworn Eye, or any other ER weapon with mainly ER substats and see how her Hydro Damage% soars to over 100% on top of the massive Burst DMG% she gets from Severed Fate.
With what’s been shown in 4.2’s trailer, your updated guide dropped at the right moment!
Edit: fixed typo
been a mona main for almost two years, and still clicked on this build guide to see if i’ve missed anything lol. anything for my girllll
I was thinking you were over-rated, because of a first pov when I was mad for no reason. But no, this guide is good with some nice gameplay and advice. You know when you have to go in detail, and when you dont, and think about the non-meta players that like quirky builds, like mona DPS. Thank you and please, continue !
Oh wow wasn't expecting this!
Wow that's the best guide of Mona I ever see. That make me want to play her again.
