Character Function and Summary

Mont is a Single Target DPS that gains 1 Ice Crystal stack after an ally takes an action (Elucidator and HIGHLIGHT skills included). Upon gaining 10 Ice Crystal Stacks and using a skill, she will activate a Follow-Up Attack which is a guaranteed Critical Hit.

Mont can deal passable damage early on, but her low skill multipliers and reliance on having her 5-star weapon to guarantee her Follow-Up Attack every turn means it’s not really worthwhile endeavour to invest into her.

Character Synergies
  • Leon: As Mont has guaranteed Critical Hit from her Follow-Up Attack, Leon buffing Critical Damage means she can hit harder.

Important Awareness / Weapon Values
  • Awareness 6: This gives Mont more starting Ice Crystal stacks and increases its maximum stacks cap.

  • Weapon: This weapon lowers the amount of Ice Crystal needed for Mont to launch a Follow-Up Attack to 8. This is key if you want to play Mont.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Has a guaranteed Critical Hit Follow-Up Attack.

Cons

  • Need her 5-star weapon to guarantee her Follow-Up Attack every turn.

  • Her other skills don't have guaranteed Critical Hits, meaning Critical Hit Rate is still needed for her.

  • Deals too little damage.
