Best Genshin Impact Mona Build

Although leveling mona and its talent will increase stats but you need something more than that for best performance. Builds mean equipping the right artifacts and weapons for each battle and here are the best weapons and artifacts for the ultimate Mona Build.

Genshin Impact Mona Best Weapons

For the highest damage per second of mona, equip the widsith as your main weapon as it offers the best crit damage in the game. Once you set foot field on the battlefield, it will also provide you with a random stat bonus ranging from 60% attack increase to 240 elemental mastery increase or the 48% elemental damage increase. 

Pro player suggests that you should go with the skyward atlas if you want that extra attack stat bonus along with the elemental damage bonus of 12%.

It is pretty difficult to get both of these weapons so you can go with the thrilling tales of dragon slayer instead. It offers a good HP stat bonus but the best thing about this weapon is that you don’t need grind compared to other weapons. 

Genshin Impact Mona Best Artifacts

With the noblesse oblige, you can get the most out of Mona in terms of burst attack with that 20% increase in the burst damage. For maximum stats, go with critical damage or critical hit rate hat and hydro damage goblet. 

Equip two pieces of wanderer’s troupe and two pieces of heart of depth to complete your hydro build with better damage per second. In terms of critical bonuses and hydro bonuses go with the same artifacts as above.

With the above-given artifacts, the hydro damage of Mona will increase by 15% along with elemental mastery which will increase by 80.
