An astrologist of knowledgeable skill and high pride, Mona has settled in Mondstadt to avoid suffering the ire of her master after unwittingly reading the latter's diary.
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 water splash attacks that deal Hydro DMG.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Hydro DMG after a short casting time.
Plunging Attack Gathering the might of Hydro, Mona plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.
On the 3rd Normal Attack, Mona will perform a short backward or forward teleport depending on whether or not her distance from the enemy is greater than or equal to 7.5 m.
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 2, Lunar Chain: "When a Normal Attack hits, there is a 20% chance that it will be automatically followed by a Charged Attack. This effect can only occur once every 5s."
Constellation Level 6, Rhetorics of Calamitas: "Upon entering Illusory Torrent, Mona gains a 60% increase to the DMG of her next Charged Attack per second of movement. A maximum DMG Bonus of 180% can be achieved in this manner. The effect lasts for no more than 8s."
The hold version of this skill grants Mona a brief period of Invincibility Frames.
Passive Effects
Passive Talent 2, "Come 'n' Get Me, Hag!": "After she has used Illusory Torrent for 2s, if there are any opponents nearby, Mona will automatically create a Phantom. A Phantom created in this manner lasts for 2s, and its explosion DMG is equal to 50% of Mirror Reflection of Doom."
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 5, Mockery of Fortuna: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Mona summons the sparkling waves and creates a reflection of the starry sky, applying the Illusory Bubble status to opponents in a large AoE.
Illusory Bubble Traps opponents inside a pocket of destiny and also makes them Wet. Renders weaker opponents immobile. When an opponent affected by Illusory Bubble sustains DMG, it has the following effects:
Applies an Omen to the opponent, which gives a DMG Bonus, also increasing the DMG of the attack that causes it.
Removes the Illusory Bubble, dealing Hydro DMG in the process.
Omen During its duration, increases DMG taken by opponents.
Illusory Bubble and Omen are both applied upon casting Stellaris Phantasm.
When Illusory Bubble is active on an enemy, there is a constellation-like marking on that enemy. When Omen is active on an enemy, there is a starry purple aura around that enemy.
Stellaris Phantasm is able to apply Wet up to twice: once when cast, and once when the Illusory Bubble bursts. However, standard ICD applies for the two applications.
If no outside source bursts the bubble, it automatically bursts after 8 seconds.
Omen status timer only starts after the bubble bursts. Since Omen is applied from the initial cast of the skill, if the bubble lasts for its whole duration (8s), Omen can have a maximum duration of 13s.
Illusory Bubble bursts when the affected target is hit by an attack that deals more than 0 Poise Damage. This means that attacks that deal no damage but do deal Poise Damage (e.g. Hu Tao's Elemental Skill activation) will burst the bubble, while hits that deal no Poise Damage will not burst it.
This mechanic can be used as a means to extend the effective duration of Omen, such as when combined with the Frozen Elemental Reaction: Frozen targets are immune to Poise Damage, so any attacks against them will not burst the Illusory Bubble until they unfreeze. As a result, the start of Omen's duration countdown is delayed while characters attacking the Frozen target still benefit from the DMG Bonus.
Illusory Bubble Explosion DMG does notsnapshot and will be affected by changes in Mona's stats after Stellaris Phantasm is cast.
The Illusory Bubble applies a Struggle state to enemies whose weight is less than or equal to 100, preventing them from performing any actions. However, the Struggle state will not be applied to enemies more than 20 levels higher than Mona.
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 1, Prophecy of Submersion: increases Electro-Charged DMG, Lunar-Charged DMG, Vaporize DMG, Hydro Swirl DMG, and Frozen duration by 15% when any of the player's own party members hits an opponent affected by Omen.
Constellation Level 3, Restless Revolution: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
Constellation Level 4, Prophecy of Oblivion: "When any party member attacks an opponent affected by an Omen, their CRIT Rate is increased by 15%."
Alternate Sprint Mona cloaks herself within the water's flow, consuming stamina to move rapidly.
When under the effect of Illusory Torrent, Mona can move at high speed on water. Applies the Wet status to nearby opponents when she reappears.
In the Spiral Abyss, before starting the challenge, Mona will sprint regularly without cloaking herself with water. After starting the challenge, her Alternate Sprint will be enabled again.
One can hold the sprint button while stationary to make Mona stay in place while cloaking herself in water. No stamina is consumed while Mona is stationary.
Despite the appearance of this talent in action, it does not make Mona invisible to enemies, nor does it make her shorter.
Passive Effects
Passive Talent 1, "Come 'n' Get Me, Hag!": "After she has used Illusory Torrent for 2s, if there are any opponents nearby, Mona will automatically create a Phantom. A Phantom created in this manner lasts for 2s, and its explosion DMG is equal to 50% of Mirror Reflection of Doom."
Constellation Effects
Constellation Level 6, Rhetorics of Calamitas: "Upon entering Illusory Torrent, Mona gains a 60% increase to the DMG of her next Charged Attack per second of movement. A maximum DMG Bonus of 180% can be achieved in this manner. The effect lasts for no more than 8s."
After she has used Illusory Torrent for 2s, if there are any opponents nearby, Mona will automatically create a Phantom. A Phantom created in this manner lasts for 2s, and its explosion DMG is equal to 50% of Mirror Reflection of Doom.
A Phantom can be created even if Mona is not close enough to attack an enemy, as long as Mona is in combat.
No Phantom is created near the Unusual Hilichurl until it is aggravated.
Using Illusory Torrent outside of combat counts toward the 2-second timer, although no Phantom will be created until Mona enters combat.
Remaining stationary while using Illusory Torrent counts toward the 2-second timer.
The 2-second timer resets when Mona stops using Illusory Torrent or when a Phantom is created from "Come 'n' Get Me, Hag!"
A Phantom created from "Come 'n' Get Me, Hag!" can exist at the same time as a Phantom from Mirror Reflection of Doom.
At Ascension Phase 4, Mona receives 23.2% Hydro DMG Bonus by default, due to her ascension stat of Energy Recharge. An extra 1.6% Hydro DMG Bonus is obtained at Ascension Phases 5 and 6, for a total of 24.8% and 26.4%, respectively.
The effects of this passive talent do not show if Mona is fallen or not in the party.
Only the Hydro-related Elemental Reactions listed in the Constellation description are enhanced; the effects of Bloom and Crystallize are unaffected.
Contrary to the description, this Constellation does not have any effect on Frozen duration.[7]
This bonus does not apply in the triggering attack nor from the resulting Hydro DMG dealt by Illusory Bubble in Stellaris Phantasm regardless if they were from resulting reactions.
The buff will apply to all party members.
In Co-Op Mode, it only applies to the team members of the Mona player.
In the Spiral Abyss, it is possible for the buff to transfer to the next team in the other chamber if it has not expired.
This bonus is signified by the Hydro aura Mona and her teammates gain.
Upon entering Illusory Torrent, Mona gains a 60% increase to the DMG of her next Charged Attack per second of movement. A maximum DMG Bonus of 180% can be achieved in this manner. The effect lasts for no more than 8s.
When this effect is ready, a flashing blue light will appear on Mona's left wrist, and an icon will be displayed next to Mona's HP bar.
↑ 1.01.1Mona's real name has been inconsistent in-game, being written as Astrologist Mona Megistus; Mona Megistus, the Astrologist; and Mona Megistus the Astrologist. Regardless, "Astrologist" is part of her name as demonstrated by the fact that the Chinese name includes 阿斯托洛吉斯Āsītuōluòjísī, the phonetic transcription of "Astrologist" into Chinese instead of the translation 占星术士Zhānxīng Shùshì, "astrologist."
Old: "You say that your line has a unique pedigree — but you also say that your hag of a teacher is a stubborn dimwit. Which of your descriptions of your master is accurate?" New: "You speak of your illustrious lineage, yet you also refer to your master as a "hag" and a "stubborn dimwit." Which of these descriptions is accurate?"
Old: Albedo could not help but ask this question — and indeed, Mona found that she had never given this question much thought either. New: Albedo could not help but ask this question — and when he did, Mona promptly realized that she had never given it much thought herself.
