| Character Details | "Shamans" are practitioners of a mysterious craft who originate from the Masters of the Night-Wind. With many mystical abilities at their disposal, they are wise and powerful figures. In the eyes of the people of Natlan, whether one seeks medicine or wishes to decipher a cryptic prophecy, visiting a shaman is always the right choice. They can be both doctors and prophets, playing indispensable roles both in everyday life and in matters of far greater import. In short, theirs is a highly respected profession. Yet above the many shamans, there are "great shamans" in a league of their own. They say it is a title that only those who reach the very pinnacle of their mystical arts may earn — and indeed, throughout the entire history of Natlan, they have been few and far between. Their deeds shine forth like the brightest stars in the night sky, adding a touch of legend to the already unfathomable shamanistic mystique. Citlali is one such great shaman, and the only one in Natlan today. Yet contrary to what most might expect, you will not find her dealing with everyday matters, nor with major affairs, rarely even participating in events as significant as tribal ceremonies. For outsiders who seek the great shaman's assistance, navigating the many obstacles in their way may prove a greater challenge than traversing the many chasms of Natlan itself. "Looking for Granny Itztli? Best not disturb her! If you really must go, go prepared — and just so we're on the same page, don't go dragging me into it..." Thus would most members of the Masters of the Night Wind respond, as if Citlali were some formidable fiend, a monster of great menace and untold might. "The great shaman... Mwahaha, she's your only option, isn't she? Pfff, the Almighty Dragonlord doesn't have time for puny punks like you. But since you asked so nicely, I'll let you use my name when you knock. That way, she's bound to take your request seriously." A certain oddball entity and self-styled Dragonlord might respond as such, as if Citlali were some easily dealt with triviality. "Need Granny's help? You're looking for the right person if so — she knows everything about everything! Do you have her address? Actually, let me take you there myself! Oh, just so you know, when we get there, you'll have to keep knocking non-stop. Granny's kinda shy, so you have to be proactive, alright?" This is the kind of response you'd receive from a certain top-ranking guide from the People of the Springs, as if Citlali were no more than a bashful young girl. "Seeking help from Citlali? A wise choice indeed. Her assistance has been instrumental in the success of many of Natlan's most important affairs. I'm confident she'll know how to resolve your troubles too." That great leader, the keeper of the Sacred Flame herself, might say this, as if Citlali were the very epitome of a responsible and approachable elder. Ultimately, after much inquiry, those seeking her aid often end up feeling even more confused than when they first set out, left with no other choice but to give up their petition as a lost cause. |
| Character Story 1 | Citlali's home lies at some considerable distance from the tribal settlement. Tucked away in a secluded corner of the mountains, you might call it the perfect retreat for solitary living. But in stark contrast to the way the homes of the average "recluse" might blend into their natural surroundings, her remote dwelling is conspicuous — so much so, in fact, that it is practically unmissable. The main reason for this, no doubt, is the graffiti that covers its outer walls. Bold, over-the-top, and provocative, it seems to have been deliberately designed to get on someone's nerves. To understand this, one must note a rather odd tradition that has become prevalent among the Masters of the Night-Wind's shamans. They will often strive to seek out particularly strong peers among their circle, then orchestrate coincidences by which their own students end up clashing with these powerful shamans; and then, by utilizing the pressure exerted by these formidable figures, they push their students to improve. Perhaps it is precisely because of the familial character of the bond between master and disciple shamans that, to bypass their own subconscious, almost parental tenderness, they must rely upon a stern uncle or aunt figure to carry out the tough tests required. Many years ago, another great shaman named Huitzilin chose Citlali to be the target of such conflicts for her own students. How did she achieve this, you might ask? By having them plaster the outer walls of Citlali's home with taunting graffiti — a direct and unignorable challenge if ever there was one. For her part, Citlali performed her role of encouraging the younger generation to improve with flying colors. Not a single one of those bumptious, presumptuous, self-important novices — puffed up by having a great shaman as their mentor — withstood more than a single meeting with her as their adversary. They were, to the last, left humbled and respectful, viewing shamanhood with newfound reverence. After Huitzilin's passing, her disciples, and even the disciples of her disciples, continued to designate Citlali as the target for their students to challenge, claiming that this was her dying wish. Though this practice strayed somewhat from tradition, most Masters of the Night-Wind were unsurprised. Huitzilin had been a great shaman on par with Citlali, and was said to understand and admire Citlali's strength better than anyone. To Huitzilin, only those bold enough to challenge Citlali were worthy of inheriting her legacy. And indeed, the challenges yielded remarkable results. Those brave enough to face Citlali often went on to make exceptional achievements, whether holding key positions within the tribe or attaining a profound mastery of the mystic arts. Over time, challenging Citlali through the medium of graffiti became a tradition of its own. This tradition, though, has been the source of no small amount of grief for Huitzilin's own shamanic descendants. Starting right from their days as apprentices, they must endure defeat after crushing defeat at Citlali's hands. Eventually, they had no choice but to modify Huitzilin's challenge criteria, making it enough to simply last long enough against her. All manner of stories began to spread about Granny Itztli, fueled by the sorry experiences of all those challengers who fell short. Whenever a challenger fails, Citlali uses her mystical abilities to erase their graffiti. Thus, over the years, the graffiti on the wall has changed, time and time again. As time went on, Citlali's initial irritation dulled. Given her power and status, she could easily have put an end to this annoying practice, yet instead she allowed it to continue. As for her reasons, some would argue that Citlali uses these failed challengers as a means of enhancing her own reputation; while others believe that, despite her general aloofness, the great shaman still retains a sense of responsibility for nurturing future generations. Even if just a sliver... Perhaps only Citlali herself knows the real reason — that it reminds her of that precious time spent sparring with an old rival. As long as that ever-changing graffiti continues to appear on her wall, she can keep pretending that those days never truly passed. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2 |
| Character Story 2 | If you were to ask someone what Citlali's favorite hobby was, no matter if they knew her well, feared her, or even just heard a rumor about her for the very first time, you would get the same answer: light novels. Almost everyone's first encounter with her involves seeing her engrossed in one of these books. But if you were then to follow up and ask which light novel was her favorite... Well, that's something even those who know her best would struggle to agree upon. Some are convinced that it is "Mirage Warriors," the light novel she most frequently discusses, and perhaps the first one she ever read. Rumor has it that this early classic switched authors three times, yet despite this, was never actually brought to completion. Most of its original readers have, in fact, already passed away — the last one left being Citlali herself, still alive and holding out for updates after two full centuries. Such a book, they say, must hold a special meaning in the context of Citlali's long life, making it the strongest contender for her favorite. Others claim it must be the popular favorite "A Legend of Sword," widely known even throughout Natlan. Yet when others bring up this work, Citlali often seems displeased — not because of any issue with the story itself, but because of her lingering resentment over that one time when they decided not to hold a signing event in Natlan. Then there are the heated debates between the advocates of "Shogun Almighty: Reborn as Raiden With Unlimited Power" and "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?." One school of thought believes the former is her favorite, pointing to the time that she discovered her copy of "Raiden Reincarnation" was not actually a first edition, flying into such a rage that she nearly scared the book merchant to death. The other side argues for the latter, recounting how ruthlessly Citlali crushed a certain group of challengers whose sudden appearance had caused her to miss out on getting her hands on the deluxe edition of "Kitsune Guuji." Citlali herself has never given a straightforward answer to the question, leaving the matter unresolved. However, a particularly bold specimen of a prying busybody once claimed to have discovered a secret compartment in her bookshelf, well-concealed and even protected by several layers of special mystical seals — without a shadow of a doubt, the ironclad repository of her most treasured light novel. Citlali quickly deduced that this individual must have been a petty thief who had once broken into her home. After tracking down the intruder and personally administering a thorough thrashing, she handed them over to the tribal guards. From that moment on, the mystical defenses around her home gained yet another layer of protection. Still, she never outright denied the pesky little pilferer's claim. Because, as it just so happens, there is indeed a secret compartment in her bookshelf. The book stored within is neither one of the latest bestsellers nor a rare out-of-print collector's edition. Instead, it is an obscure and unsung light novel, barely known even in its homeland of Inazuma: "New Chronicles of the Six Kitsune." So, is this Citlali's favorite light novel? It's very hard to say. Perhaps, just perhaps, her reason for storing it there had something to do with the first sentence she read when she opened it. "Stories relating to memory always seem to have to do with those moments where you gain something and lose it straight away." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3 |
| Character Story 3 | Whenever Citlali's friends make plans to celebrate her birthday, they always run up against a rather tricky question — just how old is she, actually? Judging from her appearance... There's no way to tell. According to Citlali's own oft-repeated claim, the answer seems to be 200. However, some elders of the Masters of the Night Wind insist that she must be older, for she has an intimate knowledge of many things that happened over two centuries ago. "D'you think Granny was adopted by Saurians when she was young too?" Chasca would wonder, drawing a parallel with her own childhood experience of being raised by a Qucusaur and losing track of her real age. "Granny'll always be Granny, and that's not gonna change — whether she's 200 or more." Ororon would respond when people came asking. Having been raised by Citlali since childhood, his awareness of her "ageless" aura is perhaps keener than any other's. But Xilonen was never satisfied with that answer. After all, if they were planning to order a personalized birthday cake, a vague number would only confuse the baker. In her view, clarifying your requirements is the most basic courtesy a customer owes. "Hah! If a mere two hundred years has you all running around like headless Flowcurrent Birds, imagine if you could comprehend the unfathomable antiquity of this Almighty Dragonl—" Before he could finish, Ajaw's comments were cut short by Kinich, whose lightning-fast elbow sent the little party pooper flying. "Why don't we just settle for 200? Seeing as Granny always insists that's how old she is, I'm sure she has her reasons — just like how many people say they're 'forever 18.' It's a way of making themselves seem younger!" Despite leaving them all deep in thought for a while, Mualani's suggestion was collectively rejected in the end. No matter how you spin it, "forever 200" is an absurd way of projecting a youthful image. When all others had given up, the ever-resourceful Iansan called upon Mavuika, hoping that the memories passed down by the Sacred Flame might offer some clues. But even Mavuika could not provide a definitive answer. So far as past Pyro Archons remembered, Citlali had always lived the life of a recluse, leaving no indication of her exact age. And so, they continued to hesitate, knowing that asking Citlali directly was simply out of the question. The quick-witted great shaman would see right through them, completely ruining their celebratory surprise in an instant. In the end, they decided to sidestep the issue altogether, settling on a cake design that didn't require her age to be displayed. On the evening of her birthday, they lured Citlali out of her home with a knock at the door, unveiling the cake and an array of gifts as she stepped outside. At last, their long-planned celebration was successfully underway. Perhaps moved by their enthusiasm, Citlali drank a lot that night. As her eyes began to grow hazy, someone finally worked up the courage to ask the question that had been puzzling them all along. "How old am I exactly? *hic* Let me tell you something funny..." Citlali began, slurring her words. "I'm certainly not the only one in this world who's lived a long, long life. For the others, it usually goes like this... In the beginning, keeping track of the years is easy, but the longer they live, the more of a hassle it becomes, so they just stop paying attention... *hiccup* But me, well... I'm a lil' different, you see... At first, I never used to worry exactly how old I was. It was only after... something happened... that I suddenly started noticing how old I was becoming... And from that moment on, I started counting, and it's been exactly... 200 years... *hic*!" The mystery behind the "200 years" claim had finally been solved, but her answer had sparked a new question. What could possibly have happened to make Citlali, who had remained so youthful over the past two centuries and longer, suddenly become so acutely aware of the passing of time? But despite their curiosity, no one pressed her any further, for they noticed that Citlali was staring blankly at the night sky — a sign that she had already fallen asleep. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | As a young lady, Huitzilin had been Citlali's peer during their training, always accompanied by her trusty Iktomisaur companion, Claw. Whenever Huitzilin struck a battle pose, Claw would leap up and down beside her in a combined show of strength. "So you're that so-called 'genius' the elders always talk about? Let's settle who's the strongest, once and for all!" "...Are you out of your mind?" As abruptly as it started, their first clash ended with Huitzilin's crushing defeat. Though, as it turned out, that was only the beginning. Every so often, Huitzilin would show up again at Citlali's doorstep with Claw in tow. The first few times, all she brought with her were fiery letters of challenge. But not long after, she started bringing snacks too. Eventually, she even brought along wine, stolen from the adults. Whether it was the fine wine that swayed her, or simply that she had resigned herself to the inevitability of Huitzilin's persistence, Citlali stopped resisting her visits. And just like that, twenty years flew by. Until one day, for the first time ever, the fight ended in a draw. That was the night that Citlali finally accepted Huitzilin's invitation to share wine and snacks under the moonlight. "To think that the two of us would become great shamans on the very same day... Seems like we truly are equals in that regard, after all." "A hard-won draw's not a bad result, you know. Surely, as my rival, you're finally satisfied now? Maybe you'll even stop pestering me..." "What? No. I'll keep coming over, of course! Besides, even if we're no longer rivals, we've been friends for twenty years now, haven't we?" As the slightly tipsy Citlali gazed over at Huitzilin in the dim moonlight, something suddenly struck her. That reckless young lass from two decades past had already blossomed into a poised great shaman. Little Claw had matured too, now an imposing adult Iktomisaur standing a head taller than the two of them. "Yes, friends for twenty years..." All of a sudden, Citlali's mind was aflood with memories, details that had been obscured by time's rapid flow. She felt the warmth of their bond, but also an inexplicable sense of foreboding. Another twenty years flew by in the blink of an eye. One day, halfway through cleaning away the graffiti of yet another challenger she had effortlessly defeated, Citlali was interrupted by the sound of familiar footsteps. "Hey, old friend. It's been a while since you last asked me out for a drink. You're not mad at me, are you?" "If a fight's what you're after, why don't you just drop by yourself? Why'd you keep sending these hopeless fools to pester me, huh?" "Well, because... I've reached the age where I have to start taking on students too, y'know." Citlali turned around, as though suddenly realizing something she hadn't before. Her friend, who she hadn't seen for quite some time, now bore quite a few wrinkles, no longer the radiant youth she once was. Seeming to sense the complex emotions in Citlali's gaze, Huitzilin tried to lighten the mood, pointing to a nearby field in full bloom. "No matter how beautiful Natlan's wildflowers are, they always wither when the dry season comes around. But that never worries us, because we know that the year after, the field will bloom once more. Right?" "But the flowers we see now... Not one of them will feel the warmth of the sunlight that shines down on next year's field. In the end, nothing gold can stay, can it?" "...I'm sure some hues will hold, my dear friend. Let me think it over — I'll give you your answer soon enough." Huitzilin tried in vain to soothe Citlali's apparent unease, for the latter had finally realized from whence her sense of impending crisis came. Citlali stayed wide awake that whole night, watching as portentous meteors streaked across the skies above. Just as leaf subsides to leaf, so too do we. By the time the next twenty-year anniversary of their friendship came around, Huitzilin was gone. ... Many years later, as Citlali once again scrubbed graffiti from her wall, she thought back once again upon that afternoon when a girl and her young Iktomisaurus had come to challenge her. Countless memories surged back like a tide, vivid as if those moments had occurred just yesterday; yet just as quickly were they carried away again, scattered by the wind into the distant past. With long years' passing, even those emotions that Huitzilin had once failed to calm had by now been diluted, leaving only quiet sighs in their stead. "You never gave me that answer, in the end," Citlali murmured. Yet despite the implication of her words, Citlali had no intention of blaming Huitzilin; for she believed it was a question without answer. After a few cycles of blooming and wilting, the flower she remembered so vividly was now long gone, buried by the sands of time, as even the brightest of flowers would be. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | "We are like birds, soaring through the horizons of time. I linger between brushes of memory, seeking the 'color' of my final journey." Each time Citlali weaves a special scroll to record a significant event, she thinks back upon this phrase of Huitzilin's. It was the first thing that Huitzilin had said as she taught her the mystic art of weaving such scrolls. Thus did she lead Citlali into a vivid realm of recollection, showing her how to craft sprawling works like a master painter; except with a palette not of paints, but of memories instead. After learning this technique, Citlali followed Huitzilin's example — adorning the record of a grand victory with a touch of fiery orange from warriors' torches, or honoring fallen heroes with a hint of pale violet from flowers laid before a grave. So were these chronicles woven into being, scroll after scroll, ensuring that the Masters of the Night-Wind's traditions would endure. Citlali had long understood the burden and responsibility that inheriting this mystic art entailed. So, when she was approached by that golden-haired Traveler, she knew she could not refuse their request. This time, she chose the Traveler's "gold" to represent the light by which the Abyss was illuminated, as well as the final full stop by which this great war was ended. Meticulously she dyed the entire scroll, the memories it contained seeming to come alive in her hands. "That way, they're not lost to piles of black and white text." Hearing the Traveler by her side speak these words, Citlali suddenly felt an emotion long since diluted by time well up inside her again. Remembering Huitzilin's words once more, she realized that her old friend had indeed kept her promise. When the flowers wither when the dry season comes, and all is buried by the dunes of time, what then shall remain? "The color of memories, that's what." This was the answer that Huitzilin had given all those years ago. It was also the one that Citlali was now able to give the Traveler in response to their question. She knew that it would bind her to another promise that would only be fulfilled after facing many more long years; yet this time, she felt far more resolute. Presenting the Traveler with a token she had prepared long ago, for the first time ever, Citlali spoke aloud the wish she hoped to fulfill over the course of her long life. "I hope that my colors may abide in your memory always." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| Tzitzimimeh | "The first is Citlalin, baleful star of the North!" "The second is Itzpapa, malefic omen of the South!" Whenever someone mentions the two dolls that Citlali keeps by her side, which she refers to as her Tzitzimimeh, the Masters of the Night-Wind often respond with these words as a warning — the intention being to silence loose tongues, lest they bring down a terrible curse upon themselves. If the rumors are to be believed, these dolls house the conscious wills of some ilk of malevolent demon, subduable only by the wrath of Granny Itztli herself. As such, their names have become synonymous with Granny Itztli's own, invokable as some sort of incantation to stop a toddler's tantrum in its otherwise unstoppable tracks. However, anyone who has had the opportunity to observe these two dolls up close would find them far less intimidating than the stories might suggest. In manner and appearance, they come across more like cute little animals than fearsome demons. Though Citlali does indeed frequently hurl them at her enemies in combat, the fear instilled by this peculiar tactic pales in comparison to the terror she inspires with her own two fists. And though it is true that within these dolls is sealed the dreadful power of inauspicious stars, this has absolutely nothing to do with their consciousnesses. Citlali crafted the Tzitzimimeh using the bones of small animals that had died of natural causes. The lingering remnants of their spirits were reawakened by the dolls' bodies, which is what bestowed consciousness upon them. As such, this pair of clingy little critters bring with them no curses whatsoever — on the contrary, they bring emotional comfort in spades, akin to the kind one might find in a pet. Funnily enough, Citlali very rarely lets anyone know this. Though, given that she uses them as weapons, it's probably for the best that they seem a bit on the scarier side. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Vision | Even after becoming a great shaman, Citlali had still never received an Ancient Name. Though it was undeniable that she had become a veritable pillar of the Masters of the Night-Wind, and that her assistance was indispensable for the successful undertaking of many of Natlan's most important affairs, no hero's name came to resonate with her. People felt that this was a great shame, but there was nothing they could do for her. After reaching the age of seventy, Citlali grew reluctant to leave her home, seeming to have lost all passion for the world and only attending to matters in which her direct involvement was absolutely and unequivocally required. Naturally, such an air of detached indifference did not win her the favor of any heroic spirits. However, in places most people were not even aware of, Citlali retained a great enthusiasm for one thing: weaving the special scrolls upon which major historical events were recorded. Each of these scrolls required decades to complete, an entire generation swept away by the time they were done. Yet always she persisted, maybe because it was her old friend's last wish, or maybe because doing so allowed her to avoid the company of others. She neither expected to see this task through to its end, nor did she seek any response to her efforts. "Just a way to pass the time," she told herself. And that was why, on the night a certain ancestor called out to her from the Night-Wind's mist-shrouded hues, Citlali was rather stumped. "Do you believe I will inherit your Ancient Name?" "Sooner or later, you will indeed. You just do not yet know the reason why." "But first, please, accept my message. When the time comes, it will hold the answer to your doubts." The colors of the Night-Wind shifted, communicating in a language that only Citlali could decipher. "We are like birds, soaring through the horizons of time." "I linger in verdant forests, skim across azure waves, soar over fiery magma, gather golden ore, and chase after pink-plumed flower-feathers." "When twilight falls, my graffiti adorns the night sky." "All that I depict shall be gifts, given to the world of the deceased." "This was once my name, and it will be yours as well." "Ukumbuko, 'Memory.'" With the message complete, the Night-Wind that was shrouded in mist drifted toward the scroll that Citlali had just finished dyeing, transforming into a mysterious iridescence that illuminated the entire scene. As she gazed upon the woven scroll, Citlali suddenly recalled once more the night her old friend passed away. "The mission she left me... It was once yours too, was it not?" "It was indeed. But for you, it seems to be more than just a mission." Following a trail of shimmering colors, Citlali opened up her hand. As if from nowhere, a glimmering Vision had somehow appeared in her palm. "It appears to be your 'wish' as well." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

Not trying to hate on the character but the shield feels kinda weak in the trial, if I’m being honest. It broke against regular mobs and we have consecrated beast in the abyss again.
u could say it’s a trade
u get weaker shield but constant Cryo app + res shred + cinder City buff
if zhongli gives you immortality, then Citlali gives you lotta offensive power
I have about 1.2k EM with talent level 13. I did the Scaramouche weekly boss, he couldn’t pop the shield once while purposely standing in his attacks. It’s good enough.
gotta figure out how to make granny work. and even worse, no 5* pyro…
been using ayaka, yae miko, nahida, sigewinne (formerly kokomi) for almost 3 years. can she somehow be built into DPS…
unfortunately she doesn’t buff cryo itself, just pyro and hydro when rections with cryo are happening, so if you can make a team with continuous hydro dmg dealers like Xingqiu, or Pyro who can deal less pyro appilication than the rest of the team, it can work. like a triple Cryo with xiangling (she’ll melt quite a few pyronado swings if you put 2 cryos and ayaka, who has a lot of cryo aplication on her Q)
If you need a dps, just pull for Mavuika. It would be much more optimal rather than trying to convert a support into a dps. You already have Ayaka for Cyro and there are also other good dps like Arlecchino or Clorinde coming in the same patch.
I was thinking about her applying cryo for Gaming to melt, but then recalled Gaming being a blunt attacker, and so will cause any freeze auras to be shattered, and on bosses freeze cannot occur at all — this means Gaming cannot have both Furina and Citlali or the reaction might be destroyed.
But! This dynamic can be helpful in Furina-Klee team, where Klee is a pyro Childe and Furina a hydro Xiangling, and you actually want pyro aura on enemies. By testing, a pyro blunt attack can both trigger shatter and apply pyro in the same attack, so Citlali can actually help Klee apply pyro by removing excess hydro auras. Her shield (though quite thin) can prevent Klee from being staggered, the Res shred (which is improved to break even with VV at C2) works better than VV if there are multiple waves of enemies and can easily shred both hydro and pyro, and the bonus damage from C1 works well with Furina.
i also aim to put her in gaming team, but without furina (cuz she is in different team), so its gonna be only melt reaction from these two, so, is it still viable?
klee doesnt really need a shield with the staggering amount of stagger she has, skill issue players say that she does
also calling furina a hydro xiangling is funny given she is far from having as good application as xiangling, but i get that you mean in the role of reaction dps
18 second demonstration of Gaming Melt, working just fine: tube/y5XIt1NkCZ8
Freeze itself doesn’t matter, cryo application being heavier than pyro application is what matters. Gaming has surprisingly little pyro app, so he already works and Citlali will make it work even better.
Okay, so, if you ran Citlali and Xilo on a team together with, let’s just say Arlecchino for example, who runs the Cinder City set between the two of them? Cause I don’t believe that it stacks.
In that scenario Citlali wears the Cinder City set and Xilonen wears Petra, or whichever other buffing set you prefer.
Citlali really appreciates the energy from the Cinder City 2pc and can trigger the 4pc from off field for better uptime and/or more flexible rotations.
Xilonen’s E’s mobility makes grabbing crystals much easier and less annoying than every other Petra holder I can think of. She doesn’t benefit as much from the Cinder City 2pc either, especially on an Arlecchino team.
If someone hasn’t used Petra before I recommend experimenting with a junk set before investing because its gameplay can feel clunky af and gets worse the more elements there are in play.
Citlali can run cinder city while xilo could run a archaic petra
Seems like another broken support with very small personnel’s damage (100 base attack?). Worse than xilonen until c2 and that’s even only for melt team (250em for freeze team is just useless).
her personnal dmg isnt low, and the low base atk is not a reason for this, since she scales mostly with elemental mastery
With her burst, you will probably get about the same damage as Bennet’s burst randomly criting on a target. However, overall her personal damage will be low while waiting on that cooldown since her kit doesn’t buff cryo damage.
her kit has nothing to do with bennett. this isnt even a comparison.
her damage is in fact, far better than bennett.
read her kit again, her burst scales with 1200% e.m. and with more than 800% at k at level 8. even if citlali base atk is low, you can easily fix this with 5* weapons.
and, bennett has split scaling, citlali more kinda double scaling.
if you build bennett with hp for fast healing, it will not be used to the his personal damage
she is not meant to buff cryo at all, she is a unit that is meant to be paired with pyro and hydro chars to increase their dmg.
if you want to buff cryo, pull for shenhe
The comparison is only that of their damage. And I agree with op that her damage is really worthless.
On an ideal build c0r0, she will have around 1k em and 1k atk. This sums up to 20k per burst. She is very less likely to crit as she doesnt wear crit helmet, crit artifact set or run in dual cryo teams for resonance.
Hence all damage above 20k will be based on her total dmg%. This will push her burst damage to max 40k, maybe 50k.
Bennett can go 100k+ with his burst on a dps build. He can afford dps build because his buff doesn’t scale, he doesn’t have high er requirements and heals are secondary, ignorable.
sad that probably i will not get her in 5.3 and will have to wait for the rerun 🙁
cause I really want mavuika and baizhu too
gacha is pure evil
Rerun’s probably like 6.3
Wrio debut was 4.1 and he is rumoured to rerun in 5.4 so that’s 12 patches later. Best she can get is 6.6 if there is a 5.8 patch and 6.5 if no 5.8
