• Mona's 3rd Normal Attack has 2 different animations. She will either jump backwards or forward depending on the position of her target.
• Standard ICD

• N2C and N3C frame counts are done using the same method without Jump Cancels.
• 0.5s ICD

Skill

Mirror Reflection of Doom

Creates an illusory Phantom of Fate from coalesced waterspouts.

Phantom
Has the following special properties:

• Continuously taunts nearby opponents, attracting their fire.
• Continuously deals Hydro DMG to nearby opponents.
• When its duration expires, the Phantom explodes, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.

Hold
Utilizes water currents to move backwards swiftly before conjuring a Phantom.

Only one Phantom created by Mirror Reflection of Doom can exist at any time.

Skilled astrologers have always dreamed of using a phantom facsimile of themselves to ward off imminent ill fate, but Mona must be the first to make such a mockery of it in all of Teyvat.

Notes

• Mona can dash before Mirror Reflection of Doom finishes casting, which leads to no Phantom being created.
• Mirror Reflection of Doom (Hold) has invincibility frames that can be utilized for dodging.
• Mirror Reflection of Doom will cause five instances of damage. It will tick 4 times, dealing DoT damage, then explode to deal Explosion DMG.
• Applies Hydro on cast

Alternative Sprint

Illusory Torrent

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.

This is something that Mona can do, but her teacher cannot. Well, but it's not as if her teacher would pursue any matter concerning Hydro Visions anyway...

Attribute	Values

Notes

• Illusory Torrent isn't affected by stamina reduction passives from Kaeya or Razor
• Illusory Torrent holds priority over Mona's Skill, meaning that if you dash before Mona's Skill is finished casting, the Skill cast will be cancelled and Mona will dash instead.
• Her alternate sprint has the same i-frames as other characters' normal sprint.
• Rosaria's Passive, Night Walk, increases Mona's sprint speed
  • the same goes for Anemo Resonance

Burst

Stellaris Phantasm

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.

It was from the time that gods first traced the lights in the heavens with their eyes that the notion of "fate" was born.

Notes

• Bubble Burst DMG is determined at the time the Bubble is actually triggered, rather than snapshotting on immediate cast.
• Bubble and Omen ICDs are shared.
• Omen DMG Bonus is additive to the damage calculation and is classified as DamageBonus
  • See: Damage Formula
• Illusory Bubble's duration can be extended under specific circumstances:
  • Enemies that were applied Cryo beforehand, thus got Frozen after receiving the Illusory Bubble status.
  • Enemies that are in a stagger-resistant state, i.e., performing an attack animation, having an Elemental shield/armor, etc.
  • Petrify can extend the duration of the aforementioned stagger-resistant state, effectively extending the duration of the Illusory Bubble.
• Certain Skills/Bursts cannot trigger the Illusory Bubble (Zhongli E, Klee Q).
• There are some interactions regarding the persistence of the debuff when this character leaves the party. Click here for the finding.

Ascension 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.

Notes
