Mona is one of the many playable characters in Genshin Impact. As a 5-star character, Mona is incredibly rare and must be pulled through the game's Wish system. However, she is very powerful and often considered one of the best characters in the entire game. Here's everything you should know about Mona in Genshin Impact.
Within the main story, Mona is an astrologer from Mondstadt. She believes in giving faithful readings, even if they're dire. This has led to financial stress, since people in Teyvat prefer hearing happier tidings. However, Mona is unflinching in her beliefs. She's also one of Genshin Impact's Hydro users, which means her attacks are water-based, and Mona's best character builds should concentrate on her DPS output.
In combat, Mona can quickly hit enemies up to five times in a row and even summon a clone of herself in battle. Many of her abilities can cause the Wet status effect on foes, which makes her quite useful. Outside of combat, Genshin Impact's Mona is equally impressive. She has the unique Illusory Torrent ability, which allows her to take on the form of water and move quickly across terrain. Because of this, Mona is great for both combat and exploration, and it's why she's often placed near the top of Genshin Impact's character tier lists.
Why Mona Is Important To Genshin Impact's Story
Mona is a member of the Hexenzirkel, a group of mages, and one of the more obscure factions in Genshin Impact. Unlike many of the playable characters, whose organization affiliations mostly include the Knights of Favonius or the Liyue Qixing, Mona's faction is a bit of a mystery. Other than Mona, Klee's mother is apparently a member of the Hexenzirkel, but no other playable character besides Mona belong to the group right now.
At this time, it's unclear how exactly Mona and the Hexenzirkel will tie into the main story of Genshin Impact. The Hexenzirkel are concerned with expeditions related to the Irminsul, a tree that leads down into the Abyss, so perhaps the faction will be more important as the story continues to shed more light on the Abyss, the Abyss Order, and the mysteries of the Unknown God. For now, though, Mona is simply a powerful 5-star character in Genshin Impact that fans adore.
Mona may be incredibly rare, but she's extremely useful both in and out of combat. Although she and the Hexenzirkel may not play a vital role in the main story yet, Mona will most likely be an important part of future content in Genshin Impact, so fans should definitely familiarize themselves with her background.
