Mona build guide
Mona’s role is as a support that specializes in buffing the team damage with her Burst (Q). Due to her hydro application and omen extension mechanic for freeze, she particularly excels and synergies well in freeze comp. Freeze build Mona will concentrate on maintaining her Q uptime and equipping her with 4 piece Noblesse Oblige set to give the maximum buff to her teammates.
The other way to build Mona is as a nuke character. Because vaporize reaction triggered with hydro has a 2.0x multiplier and the high damage scaling on her Q, its what makes this build possible. However, past Inazuma release, this build is less viable anymore particularly in the spiral abyss due to the massive HP of enemies, their spawn points and the meticulous set up required to make this work.
Freeze support Mona
Omen extension mechanics and her hydro application is what makes her a priority support in a freeze comp. Essentially frozen enemies can have their Omen bubble preserved as long as enemies stay in a frozen state. This extends the Omen buff duration so make sure you know how this it works here! The build is fairly simple as you want to focus on maintaining her Q uptime so energy recharge (ER%) will take priority above anything else. Kit Mona with 4 piece Noblesse Oblige and Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayer (TTDS) as her weapon for the attack buff.

FREEZE SUPPORT
Mona’s main role on a freeze team is to provide Omen debuff from her burst as it is extendable via Freeze mechanics. Note that you must apply Cryo before casting Mona’s Elemental Burst for the extension to happen. Omen Freeze extension can be done by reapplying Cryo and Hydro aura consistently (this can be done with Cryo/ Hydro infused Venti Elemental Burst + on-field Cryo/ Hydro aura).
Regarding Weapon Choices:
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: Generally the best option on Freeze Support Mona because she can furthermore buff the ATK of your Main DPS. This however comes with an assumption that with TTDS, you still have 100% Elemental Burst uptime. If you do not, pick the other Energy Recharge weapon options for more Elemental Burst uptime.
