Best weapon for Citlali, calculated

Cashflow Supervision tops the weapon calc for Citlali at 32,098 average damage on Elemental Burst. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.

Each catalyst equipped on a Lv90 Citlali at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Citlali calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Constellations & passives

Only self-buffs that are unconditional and clearly numeric change the numbers above. Everything else is shown as text but applies nothing.

C1 · Radiant Blades of Centzon Mimixcoah not modelled — text only

When she uses the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Citlali gains the "Opalstar Vestments" effect until Itzpapa leaves the field. During this time, she will obtain 10 stacks of Stellar Blade. When a nearby active character other than Citlali deals DMG using Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts, 1 stack of Stellar Blade will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 200% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. After nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, Citlali will gain another 3 stacks of Stellar Blade. This effect can trigger once every 8s. Using the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar will reset Stellar Blade stacks. Additionally, when Citlali is using her leap, or is Aiming or using her Charged Attack in mid-air, her Phlogiston consumption is decreased by 45%.
C2 · Heart Devourer's Travail not modelled — text only

Citlali gains 125 Elemental Mastery, and other characters shielded by her Opal Shield, or who have Itzpapa following them, gain 250 Elemental Mastery. Additionally, when the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar is used, nearby active characters will also be granted an Opal Shield. Also, the Ascension Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" has its effects enhanced: While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, the opponent(s) affected by this reaction will have their Pyro and Hydro RES additionally decreased by 20% for 12s. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" to gain access to the above effect.
C3 · Cloud Serpent's Feathered Crown modelled

Increases the Level of Dawnfrost Darkstar by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4 · Death Defier's Spirit Skull not modelled — text only

While the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar is active, when Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm hits opponents, an additional Obsidian Spiritvessel Skull will be summoned. When a Spiritvessel Skull summoned this way explodes, it deals 1800% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery as Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo DMG and restores 16 Nightsoul points and 8 Energy for Citlali. This effect can trigger once every 8s. This DMG is not considered Elemental Burst DMG.
C5 · Nemontemi's Hex modelled

Increases the Level of Edict of Entwined Splendor by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6 · Teoiztac's Secret Pact not modelled — text only

After being summoned with the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Itzpapa will always be in the Opal Fire state, and when Nightsoul points are exhausted, this state will not end. Additionally, when Dawnfrost Darkstar is used, Itzpapa will consume all Nightsoul points, and while it is on the field, it will continuously consume Nightsoul points. Each Nightsoul point consumed in this way will grant Citlali 1 "Cifra of the Secret Law" point. A maximum of 40 such points can be gained, and each point Citlali possesses will grant all nearby party members a 1.5% Pyro and Hydro DMG Bonus, and increase the DMG Citlali deals by 2.5%. When Itzpapa leaves the field, or upon using Citlali's Elemental Skill again, all "Cifra of the Secret Law" points she has will be removed.

Ascension passives

Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain not modelled — text only

While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger the Frozen or Melt reactions, the Pyro and Hydro RES of opponents affected by that reaction decreases by 20% for 12s. Additionally, Citlali will regain 16 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul points can be restored this way once every 8s.
Itzpapalotl's Star Garments not modelled — text only

During the Elemental Skill Dawnfrost Darkstar, Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm DMG is increased by 90% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. During the Elemental Burst Edict of Entwined Splendor, Ice Storm DMG is increased by 1200% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. In addition, when nearby party members trigger Nightsoul Bursts, Citlali regains 4 Nightsoul points.
Night Realm's Gift: Smoke, Mirrors, and the Flowing Winds not modelled — text only

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, can use Nightsoul Transmission: Citlali. When the active character is currently high enough in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Citlali: Citlali will leap up high, and will deploy "White Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Citlalin" to float in the air. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your party. Holding Aiming Mode will cause Citlali to enter the "Spiritspeaker" state, which will allow her to interact with "Nightspirit Graffiti" and "Nightspirit Sigils," extracting information and power from them. The rules for interacting with these objects follow the same rules as those governing Iktomisaurus interactions. Additionally, holding the jump button will cause Citlali to consume 75 Stamina and leap. In areas within Natlan where Phlogiston mechanics are present, Citlali will prioritize consuming 5 Phlogiston to leap to a height higher still. When in the air, Citlali can Hold her Normal Attack to consume Phlogiston or Stamina and enter Aiming Mode and trigger Charged Attacks. When initiating Charged Attacks in mid-air, Citlali will prioritize consuming 20 Phlogiston.
Songs of Profound Mystery not modelled — text only

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, triggering "Nightsoul Burst" restores 20 Phlogiston. This cannot take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss.

Citlali build questions, answered

What does Citlali scale off?

Citlali's Elemental Burst scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.

What stat does Citlali get from ascension?

Citlali's ascension substat is Elemental Mastery. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.

What is the best weapon for Citlali?

Ranked by computed Elemental Burst damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Cashflow Supervision is the strongest catalyst for Citlali at 32,098 average damage per hit. The Starcaller's Watch used by this page's preset panel averages 20,959, 34.7% behind it.

What artifacts should Citlali use?

Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4) is the set this calculator presets Citlali with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.

How much damage should Citlali do?

On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Citlali's largest single hit averages 20,959 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.

Do these numbers include Citlali's constellations?

No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.

How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Citlali still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
