Citlali's Best Teams & Character Synergies

Best Pairings and Synergies With Citlali
Mavuika is the best DPS you can play with Citlali. Mavuika Melt teams are currently among the strongest teams in the game. In this team, Citlali provides 15% Pyro RES Shred, strong off-field Cryo application for consistent Melt reactions, and generates Fighting Spirit points that help Mavuika charge her Burst faster. Citlali also provides a shield, giving Mavuika the sustain she needs during her Burst window. Overall, Citlali is one of the best supports available for Mavuika.
Skirk is another DPS who works extremely well with Citlali. Citlali is one of the few Cryo supports that can hold the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set, which provides up to 40% Cryo DMG Bonus for Skirk while also satisfying her Return to Oblivion passive requirement for Hydro/Cryo teams. Citlali can also hold Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers to provide additional ATK buffs while shielding Skirk.
Citlali is currently the strongest Melt support in the game, which means many Pyro DPS characters benefit greatly from her presence. She provides Pyro RES Shred, consistent Cryo application, and strong team buffs.
Arlecchino benefits heavily from Citlali in Melt teams. Since Arlecchino cannot be healed, Citlali's shield becomes extremely valuable while still providing Melt reactions and damage buffs.
Diluc can also use Citlali in both plunge teams alongside Xianyun or in traditional Melt teams thanks to her reliable Cryo application.
Hu Tao is another strong option. Hu Tao also prefers not being healed, which makes Citlali's shield extremely valuable while enabling Melt setups in plunge or charged attack playstyles.
Citlali also provides 15% Hydro RES Shred when triggering Freeze, allowing her to work well with Hydro and Cryo Freeze teams.
Neuvillette can use Citlali in both Hypercarry setups and Freeze teams alongside Escoffier.
Wriothesley is another strong option, as he can utilize Citlali in both Melt and Freeze compositions.
Kamisato Ayaka also benefits from Citlali in Freeze teams, especially when running the Cinder City set for additional team buffs.
