Citlali is a 5-star Cryo Catalyst character who excels as a versatile Sub-DPS and Support. Her unique ability to summon Itzpapa, a star-beast companion, allows her to deal consistent Cryo AoE damage while generating shields for her team. Citlali thrives in reaction-based teams that capitalise on her Cryo application and Elemental Mastery scaling for powerful reactions and utility.
How Citlali Helps:
- Consistent Cryo Application: Citlali’s abilities provide reliable Cryo AoE DMG, perfect for triggering Frozen, Melt, and other reactions.
- Team Protection: Her Opal Shield, generated by her Elemental Skill, scales with Elemental Mastery, providing robust shields that absorb Cryo damage more effectively.
- Elemental Synergy: Citlali’s talents boost reaction-based damage, making her adaptable to many team compositions.
Frozen
Cryo + Hydro
Frozen teams capitalise on immobilising enemies, offering crowd control and opportunities for free, uninterrupted attacks. Citlali’s Cryo application ensures consistent Frozen uptime, while Hydro characters apply their element to set up the reaction. Below is an example of a Frozen team that includes Neuvillette as the Main DPS, Furina and Citlali as the Sub DPS', and Charlotte as the Healer.
Alternate Frozen teams could have a composition of:
- Citlali - Furina - Rosaria - Kazuha
- Ayaka - Shenhe - Citlali - Mona
- Kaeya - Rosaria - Citlali - Barbara
Melt
Cryo + Pyro
Melt teams leverage the 2.0x multiplier from Cryo-triggered Melt reactions, maximising Citlali’s Cryo DMG. Pyro units reliably apply their element, ensuring Citlali can trigger the reaction repeatedly. Below is an example of a Melt team that includes Mavuika as the Main DPS, Citlali and Xilonen as the Sub DPS', and Bennett as the Healer.
Alternate Melt teams could have a composition of:
- Citlali - Xiangling - Kazuha - Zhongli
- Hu Tao - Yelan - Xingqiu - Citlali
- Yanfei - Xingqiu - Citlali - Bennett
Below is an example of a Melt team that includes Arlecchino as the Main DPS, Yelan as the Sub DPS, and Kazuha and Citlali as the Supports.
Superconduct
Cryo + Electro
Superconduct teams focus on reducing enemy Physical RES. Citlali’s Cryo application ensures consistent Superconduct reactions, amplifying DMG while providing shields and off-field Cryo DMG. Below is an example of a Superconduct team that includes Raiden Shogun as the Main DPS, Xingqiu as the Sub DPS, and Sucrose and Citlali as the Support.
Alternate Superconduct teams could have a composition of:
- Cyno - Citlali - Beidou - Kuki Shinobu
- Razor - Citlali - Beidou - Kuki Shinobu
Mono Cryo
Cryo
Mono Cryo teams focus on maximising Cryo DMG and generating Cryo resonance, which increases CRIT Rate against frozen enemies. Citlali’s Cryo AoE and shields make her an effective member of such teams, especially in domains or Abyss floors with Cryo resonance bonuses. Below is an example of a Mono Cryo team that includes Ayaka as the Main DPS, Shenhe as the Sub DPS, Citlali as the Support, and Diona as the Healer.
Alternate Mono Cryo teams could have a composition of:
- Kaeya - Citlali - Rosaria - Diona
