As Genshin Impact Mona once said, ‘fate is called as such, for it can’t be changed’, and we predict that your fate holds a powerful team comp with the help of this build. Mona Magistus is a five-star hydro catalyst wielder and a great astrologist with the power of divination. So, you can use our build guide, featuring her skills, constellations, artifacts, and more, to get the most out of her.
For more brilliant Teyvat guides, take a look at our Genshin Impact Lisa, Genshin Impact Huohuo, and Genshin Impact Nahida build guides. We also have a Genshin Impact tier list so you can see where each of your party members rank, and a Genshin Impact codes list, just in case you’re after some extra primogems.

What’s the best Genshin Impact Mona build?
Mona is a 5-star Hydro Catalyst character that you can pick up very early on in the game. She’s an astrologist who lives in Mondstadt in an attempt to hide from the anger of her master after she accidentally read their diary. She performs best as a support, but she can also dish out some fairly good DPS on the battlefield.
Here’s a brief overview of our best Mona build:
| Best weapon | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds |
| Weapon alternatives | Skyward Atlas |
| Best artifact set | Noblesse Oblige (support) Heart of Depth (DPS) |
| Artifact set alternatives | Brave Heart (DPS) Scholar (support) |
| Main stats | DPS Mona

| Sub-stats | DPS Mona

Mona’s best weapon is Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds thanks to the movement speed buff and crit rate boost. Her best support artifact set is Noblesse Oblige with lots of energy recharge, hydro damage, and crit rate. Alternatively, her best DPS artifact set is Heart of Depth built with plenty of attack, crit rate, crit damage, and hydro damage.
How to use Mona
Mona is a five-star hydro catalyst user and one of the most flexible supports in the game. She synergizes well in freeze teams with powerful DPS like Ganyu or Ayaka and provides your team with a substantial damage boost. She’s relatively cheap to build, can dish out some nasty damage, and doesn’t require much field time, making her a suitable option in quickswap teams. Plus, she’s capable of also acting as a DPS or sub-DPS under the right circumstances.
However, her kit is pretty tricky, and it takes quite a lot of practice (and, sometimes, a splash of luck) to get the most of her mechanics. Her burst is especially complicated and hard to time and can be easily sabotaged by a misplaced turret, normal attack, or lingering construct. But, with some patience and TLC, Mona is certainly worth your while.
What are the best weapons for Mona?
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is the best five-star option for Mona as long as you’re able to maintain at least one stack. The additional movement speed is great for helping her dodge attacks, and the crit rate stat makes her somewhat easier to build when it comes to artifacts.
Alternatively, Skyward Atlas is a great option but requires you to build enough crit to support it. However, it can be a little tricky to get it to synergize with her perfect combo. Check out the super detailed Keqingmains Mona guide to find out more about her perfect combo and how to pull it off.
When it comes to four-star options, The Widsith charges into the lead, even outperforming its five-star competitors. It’s the perfect choice for most Mona builds and team comps, but underperforms in electro-charged teams. Alternatively, Mappa Mare is an amazing choice, especially in vaporize teams. Plus, it’s F2P friendly as you can forge it and its refinements at the blacksmith.
