Mirror Reflection of Doom

Press Creates an illusory Phantom of Fate from coalesced waterspouts. The 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.

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

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.

Attribute	Values
Activation Stamina Cost	10
Stamina Drain	15/s
Hydro Application GU	1A
ICD	3 hits / 2.5s
Poise Damage	0
Impulse Type	2

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 iframes as other characters' normal sprint.

• Rosaria's Passive, Night Walk, increases Mona's sprint speed

  • the same goes for Anemo Resonance

Stellaris Phantasm

Mona summons the sparkling waves creating 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.

Notes

• Bubble Burst DMG is determined at the time the Bubble is actually triggered, rather than snapshotting on immediate cast.

• Bubble and Omen ICD is 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 skill/bursts cannot trigger the Illusory Bubble (Zhongli E, Klee Q).

Principium of Astrology

When Mona crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, she has a 25% chance to refund a portion of the crafting materials used.

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

• No ICD

• Damage dealt by this Phantom is considered elemental skill damage, and can thus trigger related artifact effects.

• The Hydro DMG Bonus increase only shows when Mona is in an active party.
