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.

* **Mirror Reflection of Doom** will cause five instances of damage. It will tick 4 times, dealing DoT damage, then explode to deal Explosion DMG.

  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="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.

**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
    {% endtab %}

{% tab title="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](/keqkms/combat-mechanics/damage/damage-formula.md#base-damage)
* **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).
  {% endtab %}

* Hydro Swirl DMG increases by 15%.
* Frozen duration is extended by 15%.

**Notes**\
This bonus effect is additive and classified as **ReactionBonus.** See: [Damage Formula](/keqkms/combat-mechanics/damage/damage-formula.md#amplifying-reaction-bonus)

Teammates in Co-op are not counted as "your own party members" and will not obtain the effects of **Prophecy of Submersion.**

* Vaporize DMG bonus can be snapshotted.
* Hydro Swirl and Electro-Charged DMG bonus do not snapshot and require the reaction owner to be onfield.
* **Prophecy of Submersion** does not extend Frozen.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="C2" %}

#### **Lunar Chain**

When a **Normal Attack** hits, there is a 20% chance that it will be automatically followed by a **Charged Attack**. This effect can only occur once every 5s.
