Exploring Citlali’s Skills and Abilities

Citlali’s Elemental Skill, known as Dawnfrost Darkstar, provides substantial support through a shield that scales with her Elemental Mastery, making it exceptionally effective against Cryo damage (250% more resilient). The shield’s activation also summons Itzpapa, a companion that can enter a unique state when Citlali’s Nightsoul points reach 50. In this state, Itzpapa continually damages nearby foes with Cryo attacks, enhancing Citlali’s crowd control capabilities.
While Itzpapa remains active, triggering Frozen or Melt elemental reactions not only damages enemies but also reduces their Pyro and Hydro resistances by 20%. This feature positions Citlali as a crucial support character in elemental reaction-focused teams, particularly benefiting from synergies with her banner-mate, Mavuika, who harnesses Pyro abilities.
Citlali’s Elemental Burst, Edict of Entwined Splendor, contributes to her robust offensive capabilities, unleashing massive area-of-effect Cryo damage on enemies in front. This attack also restores a specified amount of Nightsoul points and summons a Spiritvessel Skull that detonates after a brief period, targeting up to three enemy combatants—a strategic advantage in crowded battles.
With her emphasis on providing shields and high Cryo damage, Citlali is expected to be an invaluable asset in explorations within Genshin Impact’s Natlan region. One of her Passive Talents even grants her the ability to glide on a pillow in areas with Phlogiston Mechanics, adding a unique exploration component to her character.
While many players deem Citlali a strong contender for the current game meta, it is crucial to note that her ability to reduce enemy Pyro and Hydro resistances comes with a potential drawback—she lacks any capabilities to reduce Cryo resistance, which may limit her utility in specific scenarios despite her Cryo affiliation.
