Should You Pull?YES

Mona is one of the strongest Hydro Supports in the current meta and worth pulling for most players. Devastating on Freeze teams. Keep in mind that technical gameplay.

Mona is a 5-Star Hydro character whose strong support abilities make her a highly desirable unit in Genshin Impact. Mona is a fantastic buffer for your Main DPS and excels at spreading Hydro around the battlefield. This combination allows you to trigger massive elemental reactions while powering up whichever character is actively fighting on the field. This toolkit helps Mona stand out from other support characters and makes her a great addition to any team.
