Exactly! As much as I want mauvika, c1 father, c1 clorinde or their weapons im leaning more towards Citlali for that reason plus another shielder wouldn’t hurt lol
I dont know, with how much natlan characters rely on being used in natlan, i think they are going to re-run most natlan characters before we move onto snezhnaya
My personal belief is that they're working on how to fix Cryo and making it meta so they're holding onto all of the Cryo characters until that happens and then the value of those characters (and money they'll make) will increase as a result.
Ahh yes crying……The element from myth and when a dragon uses it rain would fall upon Fontaine. Not sure why u feel betrayed tho considering the dragon who use it is the best dps in the game😅
every creator does, even if not on purpose lol i’m sure he sees plenty, there’s no point flaunting it due to his ties to the company im pretty sure other creators have said the same thing
Yeah, Mauvika is just really overhyped. I understand her character is cool, but im taking citlali, and definitely chasca over Mauvika any day just because there kits, and design is way more appealing.
Jello used to be in the mihoyo early access media creator program, now that he has opted out of it he is no longer bound by mihoyo censorship and "only deliver positive review" rules.
*looks at us hoping for several years the Pyro Archon will give us Bennett and/or Xiangling alternatives* honestly I'm not too sure I want to keep hoping for that...
Absolutely pulling for Citlali. Do not care if her kit is 'bad' or 'good'. I just want abuela. I love her so much. All I wanted was an abuela character in Natlan, was not expecting a playable one. Literally prioritizing Citlali over Mavuika. I don't currently trust Hoyoverse to rerun cryo characters.
To many ppl Focus ON this one passive and thinking only Hydro and Pyro DPS will benefit. For Charakters like ayaka, wrio, ganyu, Wanderer ... She gives scroll of cider city and trilling tales buff. + Shield. and her buffs Stack with shenhe.
Citlali's release in general does not affect wanderer at all, for him she's at most a slight improvement to Layla. But yeah the fact she can use that set already buffs cryo in her teams
It can work with others, but often those teams don't have a Hydro in them unless its Furina, and thats really good but then you have to find a healer and now where is your off-field pyro? Cryo DPS - Furina - Citlali, okay now what? We don't have a off field pyro that heals and applies as far as i can remember, and haven't heard of one anywhere either.
Just wanted to point out one thing: Yanfei's CAs and E count as blunt damage, meaning that she'll trigger shatter instead of melt on frozen enemies. Her A4 also applies a lot of pyro, meaning it'll overtake both hydro and cryo very fast if freeze is triggered. Citlali likely won't be a good fit because of this.
Depending on how long the melt buff lasts, it may still be okay if you do a funny setup like start the rotation with hydro, Citlali normal attacks until there is cryo aura, Yanfei normal attack. Cinder City buff will definitely last long enough
Actually what I'm thinking is IANSAN would be the Superconduct / Physical buffer -- since she's Electro AND she's literally a physical trainer in game as her job so it makes sense.
Zhongli first got powercrept out of his BIS teams by Xilonen, and now Citlali. Hoyo really knows what they're doing rerunning zhongli before citlali comes out..
Tbh Xilonen didnt powercreep Zhongli because she doesnt offer interruption resistance so if you want to be comfortable Zhongli is still great. Yeah in terms of buffs sure she did powercreep him
@@kirittvshe still covers more teams than him and can do reactions since she scales with em and she has better personal dmg making her a good sup-dps too. overall citlali seems to be better than zhongli in terms of everything except of having a stronger shield
@Mc_neuvileTTTTTTTTTTTTe oh no for sure, she'll be useful in those teams and her buffs. The shield part is just honestly just secondary. I told my friend they can save pulling for Zhongli and wait for citlali
Citlali is probs my number 1 character in natlan. Stoked that her kit is creative and opens new doors for lots of different elements, even if it means she won’t help cryo
@@arielmk7612 + attack% with thrilling tales, or evenstar. damage bonus with her sig or can heal with prototype amber being a catalyst user is pretty good for a support
So one thing to keep in mind for hindsight, Citlati buffs melt (cryo plus red pyro) and freeze (cryo plus blue hydro). Red and blue make purple. So it's weird she isn't superconduct focused, but it does still work.
Knowing hyv, this would be likely a thing, but then again why would you left an element ignored for so long(we dont talk about physical here) just so you could hype them up in the next region?? At least give cryo chars their well deserved rerun ffs
@@ping-x7m because this way cryo will sell better Look at all the electro reaction buffs in 5.2 because electro sucked since we left Inazuma arc into sumeru where only bloom mattered
I think for burgeon she can be an interesting "control" unit. Basicly you use her on-field and use her to reduce the burning aura on te enemsie to be able to trigger more blooms and in the same time you buff the hydro unit damage. Though I don't think it will be amazing, but should work well enough.
Citlali DOES buff cryo as she can carry the cinder city artifact set which would by default buff all cryo teammates. That alone makes her a stronger offensive support than Layla or Diona in cryo teams and unlike Zhongli, she doesn't interfere with freeze by shattering. So while she probably isn't a meta defining character for cryo teams I think she will be quite valuable option in some cryo teams even without the res shred (though I do hope they add it). On another note, she might be interesting in some superconduct teams. She by default wants to stack EM, so her E skill might even be able to do quite decent sub dps damage (SC now does half of HB damage) while being a shielder/buffer if you have a consistent electro aura on the enemy. Also, I'd love to see someone do some in-depth aggravate + SC teams (I don't have the patience for it lol). According to my very basic tests, SC doesn't interfere with aggravate at all AND you get both reactions at the same time (correct me if I'm wrong of course). So an electro character who builds a lot of EM (Cyno maybe?) might get some value out of it. Hyperbloom may be stronger in raw damage but hydro eats away some of the dendro so you lose the occasional aggravate in hyperbloom teams while SC is just free additional damage (unless I missed something). And again, the cinder city buff works here too. Something like Cyno, Citlali, Nahida and buffer/sub dps/Furina? could be interesting.
I like these sort of Emelie style characters that revive less popular elemental interactions/team configurations. Cryo buff will happen when it's time for it but it's something people have been waiting for, rather then anything related to what else they are selling at the moment, and i suppose it always makes more sense to sell related characters rather then hope a horde of Cryo enjoyers will just wake up and swipe. Until we get another 5* like Eula we won't see a potential phys buffer, and until we get another Ayaka/Ganyu/Rizzler we aren't going to see a Cryo buffer. Right now if all is true she is very obviously both a Chasca and likely a Mauvika buffer so she is all win for anyone currently engaged with the game and its newer releases. Mind you I think reviving and maintaining strength of old characters is the BEST part of Genshin balancing but no newer player is asking for Phys/Cryo buffs (besides Rizzler enjoyers maybe) atm and new players swipe more readily if i had to guess.
I can see her working with both Mavuika and Mualani together using Dendro.... basically, with Dendro; she can be Cryo applier support and that let Mavuika skill Melt on and left them with burning. then Mualani can Vape on the burning enemy. Basically x2 DMG reaction on both Mavuika E and Mualani CA Finally a functional and synergize Pyro+Cryo+Hydro+Dendro team.
Something that NEEDS to change is for her abilities to react with Superconduct, not even for the res shread (though that'd of course be nice), just so that it can fuel her Nightsoul... Because atm she's actually Harmed by any Electro/Superconduct as it would take away from any potential Melt/Freeze Reactions that triggers her Nightsoul Points regen thus longer Off-field Cryo (without C6) and Natlan Artifact activeness. Then even if it did shread Electro/Cryo (iirc Superconduct is always Cryo Damage correct? so she probably wouldn't shred Electro even if a change was made, ntm the name of the skill is something like "Frozen Flame") it'd be faaar from broken, only a few patches ago we got Omni Shred Xilonen and all her additional stuff (including more than one Element Shield via Crystalize)... As well as I've seen a few others express and agree with, it's odd how "restrained" or "safe" her kit design feels (with those Constillations though there's no way she's a Standard Banner character like some are speculating), like up till now every Natlan Character has been absolutely cracked (compared to other Non-Archons) then they come along with Citlali which has almost a too balanced kit... Case in point her Shield which half her kit is based around has near equal scaling to Diona's, A *1.1 4 STAR CHARACTER!!!* Now of course Beta Changes are possible but who in their right goddamn mind started her Shield Potential THAT abysmally low?!
For those curious, from sources unknown, they might also be lying to me idk Sit lady shield is really not that strong even if you build her with full EM stat - her shield scales off EM (it's about half or less than half as thick compared to zhong). As of rn, you also might want to have ER on her as you need to reach a certain amount of nightsoul points to enable her off field cryo application (her E is not enough nightsoul points, her burst will immediately give her enough to reach that amount). So it's likely you're not building her with true full EM, rather your weapon and/or sands will be ER%. Disclaimer again, this is very subject to change, most of the time V1 bayta is very different to the final bayta. e.g. Mualani was So overturned in her v1, and she had much shorter field time (very similar and even shorter than clorinde's), e.g.2 cloud retainers buffing was a bit lackluster in her V1, it got buffed iirc twice before it was finalized - according to the sources, and again they might've lied to me 😂
I was gonna save for her anyway. Thankfully I missed my 50/50 this patch so I’m certainly getting her. Regardless of what she does or how she plays, she will be mine… oh yes, she will be
I can see a Furina + Double cryo team with pyro dps. Like uhh Citlali, Furina, Diona/Charlotte, and a pyro dps. It's generally harder to reapply cryo over a pyro aura, so a secondary off field cryo can help. It will also allow for a super nuke of simultaneous vapemelt for the dps
For those of you who are looking for Cryo team buffs: If you believe some of these "sources," then Citlali can buff Cryo characters in some ways. She has cinder city, sig weapon, c1, and c6 (which was definitely made specifically to entice Cryo mains lol).
If i had the primos to spare i would go for her since melt teams with her would be pretty interesting. Like Arrle or Wriothesley. But i dont own these characters so i will just wait for her rerun. Monsieur Neuvillete is a top priority for my account now
This is a huge swing and miss for me. Players wanted her to be a superconduct, freeze, or both support, and its what the game needs much more than another vape contributor. To make things worse, the first chapter when you meet her, she's presented as this imposing strength that physically wallops people in her tribe that make mistakes. Now... she flies around on pillows I guess? Outside of her character's aesthetic design and VA, her current purposed iteration is just a mistake.
If she doesn’t work with wrio it’s a pass for me , I liked her it’s sad .😢 Hutao was my only go to pyro dps (still c0r1 and satisfied so I skipped arlec ) but the pyro archon is appealing af
I am wishing for her for certain Mavuika will get a rerun fairly soon after her first run but cryo characters are rarely rerun and she according to leaks has a kit worthy of consideration.
The fact she does not buff her own element is just… i don’t even know what’s happening. They could have made it that she shreds resistance to all elements involved in a cryo reaction. But they chose to buff only pyro and hydro
imo Yoimiya should be next to Arlecchino. Hu Tao's CA's icd can make Melting unreliable, whereas Yoimiya's standard ICD makes it much more reliable and consistent, on top of being a shielder which she really likes. I don't know exactly how Yanfei's ICD and pryo applicaiton works on her NAs and CA so I can't really judge her stonks with Citlali, but I'm 100% sure Yoimiya will be one of the BIGGEST beneficiaries of Citlali on her team (Yoimiya, Kazuha/Xilonen, Bennett and Citlali just sounds like a pretty damn good combo) compared to the other Pyro DPSes other than Arlecchino.
I love Citlali and I wanted to pull for her but she resonate with any of my team comps and I don’t play that much so I have to factor that in too cuz I’m low on resources
I'm lowkey amazed she's cryo at all since Hoyo seems to hate all their cryos for god knows how long now. But we all have to pull for her because we know Hoyo never reruns their cryos so we'll never see her again after 5.3 rofl
citlali sounds great for arle-kaeya team. freeze melt teams would also be great on non-boss chambers. i dont like wasting primos on kid-type characters, but citlali's kit is so good to pass up. mavuika is probabaly gonna rerun after 2 patches so she can wait. since she's gonna forever retire arlecchino, im gonna use arle as much as possible before the archon reruns.
Pretty shure that she will not do anything with shenhe. Shenhe bugs only cryo and sitlali buffs pyro hydro. The only one shenhe buffs on the team is sitlali (and her self I guess) but sitlali as a shilder with (em skaling) seams to not be doing much with icyquills
I'm so confused about her. In lore; they either call her a High Priestess or a Shaman. Are those interchangeable? Is there any difference? I hope we get an explanation as to how she has lived so long. Also why she is so young looking. She even has stuffed Animals/Saurians.
Players already saw lots of cute looking things as part of attacks. There’s lots of them: Amber skill, Collei burst, Mualani skill, Kinich burst (although that one gets hate), Xiangling skill, Itto skill, Hu Tao burst, Chiori skill, Freminet skill, Klee everything, Yaoyao skill and burst
Even tho ayayayayaya is my favorite my long lost love is my first level 90. Yoimiya melt now not needing coin master shield. Dealing damage. Idkkkk I’m pulling for sure still banking on her helping a unique ayaka melt. Maybe a yoimiya buff. I’d love to button mash with a shield and see crazy numbers
I really want mavuika but I think I’ll skip her debut banner for Citlali. At least we know (unless they clown us) that mavuika will rerun a few months later
I wish both ororon and citlali would buff cryo and electro so they could work in same team :( Now I feel like citlali is made for chasca/furina/bennet/citlali team ...
She won’t power creep Zhongli. Her shield is the weakest in the game and doesn’t offer res shred. Her application is also slow enough to run double cryo, which would give the cinder city buff to that party member
I was always gonna get her anyway, cause her next rerun might be after celestia releases based on hoyos record of rerunning cryo characters
Exactly! As much as I want mauvika, c1 father, c1 clorinde or their weapons im leaning more towards Citlali for that reason plus another shielder wouldn’t hurt lol

I was gonna save for her anyway. Thankfully I missed my 50/50 this patch so I’m certainly getting her. Regardless of what she does or how she plays, she will be mine… oh yes, she will be
Zhongli = “refined” “sage”
Citlali = “frightening old hag”hmmm
Going all in for 5.3! ALL IN! Mavy, Granny, Clory and also Arle’s weapon! I’m so hype!
mona freeze is gonna be really good with her actually.
I can see a Furina + Double cryo team with pyro dps. Like uhh Citlali, Furina, Diona/Charlotte, and a pyro dps. It's generally harder to reapply cryo over a pyro aura, so a secondary off field cryo can help. It will also allow for a super nuke of simultaneous vapemelt for the dps
Citali: Me betrayer of cyro? I am just being smart.
Kokomi, Furina, Yelan, Citlali. I am gonna try that 😎
For those of you who are looking for Cryo team buffs: If you believe some of these "sources," then Citlali can buff Cryo characters in some ways. She has cinder city, sig weapon, c1, and c6 (which was definitely made specifically to entice Cryo mains lol).
If i had the primos to spare i would go for her since melt teams with her would be pretty interesting. Like Arrle or Wriothesley. But i dont own these characters so i will just wait for her rerun. Monsieur Neuvillete is a top priority for my account now
the team im think and hope work is Mavuika/Furina/Citlali/Xilonen hope it works
I would like her if she is good with Chasca to have interruption protection and fill the ice slot to freeze enemies.
Perfect opportunity for a Zhongli VS Citlali video!
she is better in 90% of the teams
Her color and gradient is my absolute favorite in the game
This is a huge swing and miss for me. Players wanted her to be a superconduct, freeze, or both support, and its what the game needs much more than another vape contributor. To make things worse, the first chapter when you meet her, she's presented as this imposing strength that physically wallops people in her tribe that make mistakes. Now... she flies around on pillows I guess? Outside of her character's aesthetic design and VA, her current purposed iteration is just a mistake.
If Ororon say his grandma better than us, i must admit he was right 😤. She's the Grandma of all time
I've heard her shield is just a fragile one. Essentially just takes one hit I believe
I'm so excited for 5.3, it is going to be stacked!
Love the thumbnail this time 🌙✨
If she doesn’t work with wrio it’s a pass for me , I liked her it’s sad .😢
Hutao was my only go to pyro dps (still c0r1 and satisfied so I skipped arlec ) but the pyro archon is appealing af
she works amazing with wrio. similar buff to shenhe.
I am wishing for her for certain Mavuika will get a rerun fairly soon after her first run but cryo characters are rarely rerun and she according to leaks has a kit worthy of consideration.
My problem is that I want Mavuika AND Citlali ;-;
Personally I think Citlali will work pretty nicely with ayaka since she can buff freeze
she buffs hydro after a freeze reaction. so ayaka will get nothing
If you want her wish because we know mihoyo hates rerunning cryo units lmao
Another potential Neuvillette, Arlecchino and Mualani support
Citlali says FU to the Tsaritsa and her Cyro children
The fact she does not buff her own element is just… i don’t even know what’s happening.
They could have made it that she shreds resistance to all elements involved in a cryo reaction. But they chose to buff only pyro and hydro
Chasca, Bennet, Furina, Citlali sounds like the dream team
Citlali pulled a Navia lmao 💀. She saw cryo couldnt be saved and changed teams, she commited treason! 👁️👄👁️
Well yeah, I'd do that even without your go ahead. Professionals have standards.
Maybe we'll see something with xianyun furina citlali? Sounds like a really good support system for a plunge attacker
I was always gonna pull for her no matter what. This just means I either pair her with Mauvika or Arlecchino
imo Yoimiya should be next to Arlecchino. Hu Tao's CA's icd can make Melting unreliable, whereas Yoimiya's standard ICD makes it much more reliable and consistent, on top of being a shielder which she really likes. I don't know exactly how Yanfei's ICD and pryo applicaiton works on her NAs and CA so I can't really judge her stonks with Citlali, but I'm 100% sure Yoimiya will be one of the BIGGEST beneficiaries of Citlali on her team (Yoimiya, Kazuha/Xilonen, Bennett and Citlali just sounds like a pretty damn good combo) compared to the other Pyro DPSes other than Arlecchino.
Based on computations, her shield strength is similar to diona's
I love Citlali and I wanted to pull for her but she resonate with any of my team comps and I don’t play that much so I have to factor that in too cuz I’m low on resources
I'm lowkey amazed she's cryo at all since Hoyo seems to hate all their cryos for god knows how long now. But we all have to pull for her because we know Hoyo never reruns their cryos so we'll never see her again after 5.3 rofl
Oh neat a "cryo" character
Pulling for her in hope that Cryo will be great again in Snezshnaya...
citlali sounds great for arle-kaeya team.
freeze melt teams would also be great on non-boss chambers.
i dont like wasting primos on kid-type characters, but citlali's kit is so good to pass up.
mavuika is probabaly gonna rerun after 2 patches so she can wait.
since she's gonna forever retire arlecchino, im gonna use arle as much as possible before the archon reruns.
you could play 2 pyro teams in abyss. one could be melt with citlali and kaeya and the second could be a vape team with furina or yelan.
Pretty shure that she will not do anything with shenhe. Shenhe bugs only cryo and sitlali buffs pyro hydro. The only one shenhe buffs on the team is sitlali (and her self I guess) but sitlali as a shilder with (em skaling) seams to not be doing much with icyquills
I think it's likely we will see new Artifacts. Maybe in 5.3.
game changing alot
She's so damn cute, I might spend just to get Citlali and Mavuika
I may be coping, but the cryo archon might make cryo as meta as furina teams were in 4.5...
Mavuika dps with citlali might actually insane
I'm so confused about her. In lore; they either call her a High Priestess or a Shaman. Are those interchangeable? Is there any difference? I hope we get an explanation as to how she has lived so long. Also why she is so young looking. She even has stuffed Animals/Saurians.
Can't wait for her and Mavuika ❤
100% going for Citlali for my chasca. Skipping mavuika because her play style conflicts with chascas.
What annoys me is Mauvika gets hate for a bike , but you know whats worse? Citlalis pillow while cute that is even stupider
Players already saw lots of cute looking things as part of attacks.
There’s lots of them: Amber skill, Collei burst, Mualani skill, Kinich burst (although that one gets hate), Xiangling skill, Itto skill, Hu Tao burst, Chiori skill, Freminet skill, Klee everything, Yaoyao skill and burst
Even tho ayayayayaya is my favorite my long lost love is my first level 90. Yoimiya melt now not needing coin master shield. Dealing damage. Idkkkk I’m pulling for sure still banking on her helping a unique ayaka melt. Maybe a yoimiya buff. I’d love to button mash with a shield and see crazy numbers
Its cryover
Cryo keeps crying.
I really want mavuika but I think I’ll skip her debut banner for Citlali. At least we know (unless they clown us) that mavuika will rerun a few months later
Im pulling her cause i have chacsa and need more supports cause i have only furina with navia clorinde and chasca(i keep all gun characters)
She would be so good for ganyu melt....if only
I wish both ororon and citlali would buff cryo and electro so they could work in same team :(
Now I feel like citlali is made for chasca/furina/bennet/citlali team ...
I been calling her lalani jello lmao yesirrrr can’t wait ! Aha
She won’t power creep Zhongli. Her shield is the weakest in the game and doesn’t offer res shred. Her application is also slow enough to run double cryo, which would give the cinder city buff to that party member
Pretty sure the orca is a little koholasaur
I do want her but i think i'll wait until her rerun ( yes i know cryo 😢)
Citlali >>>> Mavuika
