The premier choice for a damage-focused Mona build. Mona’s damage is tied beautifully into every one of the stats Debut can provide, and the Crit DMG The Widsith offers innately is also great.<\/p>\n Even if you don’t want to run her as a DPS choice, The Widsith is also exceptional for a more utility-focused role purely because of how well it amps the power of her Elemental Burst if nothing else, even if it’s less focused around empowering Elemental Reactions.<\/p>\n Mappa Mare<\/strong><\/p>\n (Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, Mappa Mare is exactly that. Elemental Mastery empowers all the reactions Mona could hope for (read: Vaporise and Freeze), while the Infusion Scroll ability also amps her Elemental DMG.<\/p>\n It’s arguably the best choice of Catalyst if you want to run Mona as an enabler, and it’s still good if you want to run her as a DPS or burst option. Better yet, Mappa Mare is forgeable so you don’t even need to roll for it.<\/p>\n Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds<\/strong><\/p>\n Lost Prayer is another good choice for a DPS Mona. What it lacks in versatility and raw burst potential compared to The Widsith, it more than makes up for in its scaling damage from the Boundless Blessing ability alongside the Crit Rate.<\/p>\n That said, it does require Mona to stay out in the field for extended periods of time – which is fine, but it does mean a harder time setting up for the reactions Stellaris Phantasm sets up for so beautifully. Build team comps accordingly.<\/p>\n Favonius Codex<\/strong><\/p>\n Lastly, Favonius Codex also synergises very well with Mona’s kit. Energy Recharge is always a strong choice for Mona builds because a), it means more Elemental Bursts and b), she converts 20% of her Energy Recharge into Hydro DMG with Waterborne Destiny which means it also packs a punch.<\/p>\n Consider this for any build outside of a pure DPS route – there just isn’t the Crit required to really make this Catalyst sing in that role.<\/p>\n Other good options outside of the ones listed include Magic Guide<\/strong> (3* and easily obtainable) and Solar Pearl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Much like with her weapon choice, what artifacts you run on Mona really depends on your end goal: utility or damage. Even with that in mind, a really strong option that plays into both concepts is 2-piece Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> with 2-piece Wanderer’s Troupe<\/strong> upping her Burst DMG by 20% and her Elemental Mastery by 80.<\/p>\n Remember that even in a DPS\/sub-DPS role, a lot of Mona’s damage potential is tied into how easy it is for her to proc Elemental Reactions and her awesome Elemental Burst – hence the Noblesse Oblige 2-piece. However, replacing Noblesse Oblige with a 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale<\/strong> is a more consistent DPS option. Mona’s abilities all scale very well off the +18% ATK it provides and it means less reliance on waiting for her Elemental Burst to come off cooldown.<\/p>\n At the other end of the spectrum, 4-piece Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> was tailor-made to make Mona into the Queen of Elemental Bursts. +20% Elemental Burst DMG and a party-wide +20% ATK amp for 12s is a synergy made in heaven for Stellaris Phantasm and the Omen debuff it inflicts. <\/p>\n Other options include full Wanderer’s Troupe<\/strong> and a focus on the buffed charged autos it provides for a DPS Mona, or The Exile, Scholar<\/strong> and Instructor<\/strong> as 2-piece sets to fill in gaps where 5* artifacts haven’t been acquired yet (particularly with Noblesse Oblige), or even as full sets if necessary.<\/p>\n
