Learn how to put together the best possible Mona build
Want to learn how to create the best Mona build in Genshin Impact?Astrologist Mona Megistus refuses to sell her skills, meaning she’s a bit short on money. Despite the free price of the Hydro Catalyst user’s services, however, her foretellings of the future are surprisingly accurate, and her latest astrological reading says that she’ll be a great addition to your team as a sub DPS.
This guide will show you how to create the best Mona build inGenshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Mona, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations.

Best Mona build: Weapons
Mona’s best weapon isThe Widsith, which increases CRIT DMG and grants random buffs to characters taking the field. Luckily, this weapon is a 4-star Catalyst, so you shouldn’t have too much difficulty tracking it down.Skyward Atlas, a 5-star Catalyst that boosts ATK and Elemental DMG, also works (alongside the 3-starThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers), but we’d recommend choosing The Widsith whenever possible thanks to its versatile set of stats.
Best Mona build: Artifacts
In any case, you’ll need to pay close attention to Mona’s stats and substats, as her base kit does leave out some essential stats. The best stats to search for when selecting artifacts for Mona are ATK%, Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate/DMG, and Hydro DMG Bonus.
Best Mona build: Ascension Materials
To fully ascend Mona, you’ll need 1 Varunada Lazurite Sliver, 9 Varunada Lazurite Fragments, 9 Varunada Lazurite Chunks, 6 Varunada Lazurite Gemstones, 46 Cleansing Hearts, 168 Philanemo Mushrooms, 18 Whopperflower Nectar, 66 Shimmering Nectar, and 93 Energy Nectar.
Fighting the Oceanid repeatedly will net you Varunada Lazurite as well as Cleansing Hearts. For the rest of Mona’s Ascension Materials, you’ll want to head to Mondstadt and search around the roofs of houses (especially in the city of Mondstadt and in Springvale!) for Philanemo Mushrooms. Finally, you’ll need to fight Whopperflowers around Teyvat for their Nectar bottles.
Best Mona build: Talents
To fully level up Mona’s talents, you’ll need to collect 9 Teachings of Resistance, 63 Guides to Resistance, 114 Philosophies of Resistance, 18 Whopperflower Nectar, 66 Shimmering Nectar, 93 Energy Nectar, 18 Rings of Boreas, and 3 Crowns of Insight.
Unless you’re trying to build Mona as a main DPS (which she’s not the best for), you won’t be using herNormal Attacksmuch, so avoid spending your resources on this talent. Leveling up herElemental Burst firstis a great way to prioritize her talents. HerElemental Skillwill also come into play frequently, so you’ll also want to level this up, but keep her Burst prioritized when possible. Here’s what all of Mona’s talents have to offer (including her coveted Alternate Sprint):
Best Mona build: Constellations
Mona doesn’t really need Constellations to be a functional member of your team, but if you’re going to wish for any, we’d recommend picking one of the following. Since Mona will constantly be applying the Wet status to enemies, Elemental Reactions will be common, and herConstellation 1is a perfect way to increase the impact of these reactions. Additionally, herConstellation 2gives her potential to be a main DPS. Mona’sConstellation 3is another great option, as it increases the level of her Burst (which you’ll likely be using a lot). Essentially, wishing for Constellations past her third isn’t recommended. If you’re feeling dedicated, though, here’s what the rest of her Constellations have in store:
Best Mona build: Team composition
Mona is often seen alongsideBennettin teams built for one-shotting bosses or tougher enemies, and for good reason, too. Mona and Bennett’s Elemental Bursts increase DMG and ATK respectively, and when combined, these stellar skills will drastically raise the amount of damage your main DPS is able to deal to enemies.
As a Hydro Catalyst user, Mona will also constantly be applying the Wet status to enemies, which sets up plenty of potential for Elemental Reactions. Pairing Mona with a Pyro character likeKleeorDilucwill help you constantly trigger the Vaporize reaction. Electro characters likeFischlandRazorare also great alongside Mona, as the Electro-Charged reaction can do massive amounts of damage.
