Special Dish 🥗
Citlali's specialty. The fresh, tender greens are surprisingly crisp, while the grilled shrimp is firm with a hint of sweetness. The perfectly crafted shape can be easily picked up with just one hand... If only a captivating novel were at hand, paired with such a delicacy, you could easily lose yourself in it for a whole day and night. Is this the unique secret art of Granny Itztli's vast knowledge?

Outfit 👘
Dawnseer
Citlali's outfit. Shamans are seers, diviners of forgotten past and untold future. In their world, the eye holds a special symbolic meaning. This is why Citlali's robe, worn half-draped around her waist, is adorned with the "Eye of Revelation" — a pattern that encapsulates both its bearer's identity and her aesthetic tastes.
| Ranking Tiers 🏅
Support : Tier S ✨
Citlali is a support specialist excelling in Melt and Freeze team compositions. She provides unique utility by shredding Hydro and Pyro RES, enabling higher elemental reaction damage. Her kit also includes consistent off-field Cryo application and durable shields through her Elemental Skill. While her specialization limits her universality compared to characters like Zhongli—who offers all-elemental RES shred alongside sturdier shields—Citlali’s offensive-oriented support role allows her to boost team damage significantly, setting her apart from traditional shielders.
With Mavuika synergizing exceptionally well with her abilities, Citlali is shaping up to be a strong support choice. For now, she holds a solid position in the S-tier, pending further evaluation of her performance in diverse team setups.
Exploration : Tier S ✨
As a member of the Masters of the Night-Wind, Citlali shares abilities similar to Ororon, including enhanced jumping and gliding capabilities. Additionally, she possesses a clan-exclusive power that allows her to enter the Spiritspeaker state, enabling her to interact with Nightspirit Graffiti—a unique skill tied to her heritage.
| Citlali's Stats ✎
Base stats in Genshin Impact are a character's natural attributes, including HP, Attack, Defense, and ascension bonuses like Crit Rate, elemental mastery or Energy Recharge, unaffected by weapons or artifacts and solely determined by leveling and ascension.
Citlali's Best Builds: Unleashing Her Full Potential ❄️
Citlali shines as a unique Support character, reducing Hydro or Pyro RES when Frozen or Melt reactions occur! Once she gathers 50 Nightsoul Points, Itzpapa charges up and unleashes powerful Cryo attacks on enemies. Plus, she shields her allies with a sturdy barrier.
| Best Signature Weapon for Citlali 
Starcaller's Watch stands as Citlali's undisputed best-in-slot weapon, perfectly tailored to her unique abilities. She's currently the only character capable of generating a shield that scales with Elemental Mastery, making her a trailblazer in redefining defensive utility. This synergy not only amplifies her support potential in Melt and Freeze teams but also highlights her innovative playstyle, blending offense and defense seamlessly.
| Best Weapons Recommendation
Citlali benefits most from Elemental Mastery weapons, and her signature weapon, Starcaller's Watch, is an excellent choice that enhances her performance significantly. Additionally, other Elemental Mastery weapons like A Thousand Floating Dreams, Sacrificial Fragments, and even the F2P Mappa Mare can be great options for her.
| Artifact Set Recommendation
Citlali excels with the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, making it her top artifact choice. This set enhances her ability to buff her team by providing a powerful Elemental DMG Bonus, perfectly complementing her role as an offensive support. We highly recommend prioritizing this artifact set to maximize her potential in any Melt or Freeze team composition.
If your team already has a member using the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, such as Xilonen, you can consider alternative artifact sets for Citlali, such as Tenacity of the Millelith, Gilded Dream or Instructor.
Tenacity of the Millelith provides additional HP% and boosts ATK and Shield Strength for the entire team, enhancing Citlali's defensive support capabilities. Meanwhile, Gilded Dreams increases Elemental Mastery and further boosts ATK based on the team’s elemental composition, making it a versatile option for reaction-focused teams. Similarly, Instructor offers a significant Elemental Mastery bonus to the entire team, making it an excellent choice for amplifying reactions like Melt and Freeze.
| Main Stat Recommendation ✎
Citlali's kit scales heavily with Elemental Mastery, making it a core stat for maximizing her potential. A high Elemental Mastery not only strengthens her Shield but also boosts Itzpapa's damage and amplifies her Elemental Burst's effectiveness, ensuring she contributes significantly to both defense and offense. To fully unlock her capabilities, prioritize stacking as much Elemental Mastery as possible, turning her into an indispensable force in Melt and Freeze team compositions.
Energy Recharge is key for her Burst to restore Nightsoul Points for off-field Cryo.
| Talent Priority Recommendation ☀
Elemental Skill
Citlali's major ability is her Elemental Skill. Prioritize leveling up this talent to increase the effectiveness of both your shield and Itzpapa's off-field Cryo DMG, as they dance together in perfect harmony.
Elemental Burst
You can choose to level up your Elemental Burst if you wish to significantly enhance its overall personal DMG output and maximize its impact during combat scenarios.
Normal Attack
You can leave her Normal Attack talent untouched, as it is not essential for her role as a Support character, focusing instead on the abilities that amplify her supportive utility and team synergy.
Citlali Passive
| Best Constellation Recommendation ۞
| C1: Great Value and a Good Stopping Point
Citlali's C1 is a big upgrade for her team support. It boosts the active character's attack based on Citlali's Elemental Mastery, making her more effective. The buff can also be refreshed, adding convenience during battles. If you're not planning to go for more constellations, C1 is already a solid investment.
| C2: Best for Co-Op Players
Citlali's C2 makes her shield even more useful by increasing the active character's Elemental Mastery and reducing Pyro and Hydro RES of enemies. This constellation shines in Co-Op, as her shield effects also apply to teammates, giving her extra utility in multiplayer. If you enjoy playing Co-Op, C2 is a great choice to maximize her support capabilities.
| Best Team Comp Recommendation as Support 
Citlali works best in teams focused on enabling Melt or Freeze reactions for Pyro or Hydro Main DPS characters. Her passive skill reduces Pyro and Hydro Resistance, making her a strong support for these elements.
However, Citlali's base abilities do not reduce Cryo Resistance. This means Cryo characters won't benefit as much from her compared to supports like Zhongli, except for her ability to use the Scroll artifact set. That said, you can still include her in specialized teams, such as Burn-Melt, where she can contribute effectively.
