Furina vs Mona

Universal damage buffer vs. the classic Omen nuke

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Furina if…

  • In almost any team that can slot a team-wide healer
  • When you need consistent, high-damage off-field Hydro
  • To significantly increase the damage of your entire roster

Pick Mona if…

  • For 'One-shot' damage showcase builds
  • In Freeze teams where Omen duration is extended
  • If you need an on-field Hydro applicator for short bursts
Verdict

Furina is a generational upgrade over Mona in nearly every sustained combat scenario. Mona remains relevant primarily for Freeze extensions and massive single-hit damage showcases.

JeanJean

With Furina

Jean provides instant, team-wide healing with her Elemental Burst, which is the most efficient way to gain Fanfare stacks for Furina's massive DMG buff. Her ability to hold Viridescent Venerer also allows her to shred Hydro RES, further boosting Furina's off-field damage.

With Mona

Jean offers Mona both survival and utility through her Elemental Burst, which can clear debuffs and provide consistent healing. By swirling Hydro, Jean can shred enemy resistances with Viridescent Venerer, amplifying Mona's Burst and Skill damage.
