Citlali is the great shaman of the Masters of the Night-Wind in Natlan and is renowned for her accurate predictions, earning her the affectionate nickname "Granny Itztli" among the Natlanese. Her Ancient Name is Ukumbuko.
Her decision to live in seclusion suggests a preference for solitude and introspection, allowing her to focus on her divinations and maintain a strong connection with the celestial forces she interprets.
Citlali has a strong connection to her adopted grandson Ororon and feels responsible for his well-being. This suggests a past incident that has shaped her personality and motivations. This connection to Ororon, combined with her role as a guardian, indicates a deep sense of compassion and responsibility that drives her actions.
Citlali has a short temper and generally scolds those that do something wrong, often expressing it with a harsh sting in her words and a stoic face. Deep down however, Citlali cares for those who she sees as her friends. However, she is afflicted with something that appears to prevent her from aging, and Citlali tries to avoid bonding with others out of a fear of getting too close to them. This is particularly featured with a young girl from her tribe who challenged her for many years, and when she passed from old age, Citlali honored her memory and placed flowers by her gravestone, and when the Traveler asked who she was paying respects to, she claimed that they were an "annoying" person.
She tends to stay at home, only coming out when something requires her utmost attention. Often while she is not outside, Citlali tends to binge on light novels from Inazuma and eat snacks. She is also an avid drinker.
- Normal Attack: Shadow-Stealing Spirit Vessel
- Normal Attack: Performs up to three strikes that deal Cryo Damage.
- Charged Attack: Enters Aiming Mode, and after Holding, consumes Stamina to call forth a Frost Star that deals Cryo Damage to enemies in its path.
- Plunging Attack: Gathers the power of Cryo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all enemies in her path. Deals AoE Cryo Damage upon impact with the ground.
- Elemental Skill: Dawnfrost Darkstar
Get to work!
Fulfill our pact.
Show no mercy.
Carefully... carefully...
Steady now...
Just like that...
Citlali deploys an Opal Shield and calls forth "Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Itzpapa", dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo Damage.
The Opal Shield's Damage absorption scales based on Citlali's Elemental Mastery, and absorbs Cryo Damage with 250% efficiency. When it is deployed, it will cause Citlali to briefly be affected by Cryo.
After using this skill, Citlali gains 24 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state.
Nightsoul's Blessing: Citlali: When Itzpapa leaves the field, Citlali exits the Nightsoul's Blessing state.
Obsidian Tzitzimitl: Itzpapa
- Itzpapa will follow the character.
- If Citlali has at least 50 Nightsoul points, Itzpapa enters the Opal Fire state and continuously consumes Nightsoul points to whip up a Frostfall Storm that follows the character around and attacks enemies within its AoE, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Cryo Damage.
- When Citlali's Nightsoul points are fully depleted, Itzpapa's Opal Fire state also ends.
- Elemental Burst: Edict of Entwined Splendor
You two — time to end them!
Citlalin, Itzpapa, get 'em!
Suffer the wrath of Itztli!
Summons "allies" from the starry skies and the vast earth, hurling forth an ice storm to bombard the area in front and deal Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo Damage. This restores a set amount of Nightsoul points for Citlali, and also summons a Spiritvessel Skull near a maximum of 3 enemies within the AoE, with 1 Skull for each enemy. Spiritvessel Skulls explode after some time, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo Damage and restoring a set amount of Nightsoul points for Citlali.
- 1st Ascension Passive: Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain
While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger the Frozen or Melt reactions, the Pyro and Hydro Resistance of enemies affected by that reaction decreases by 20% for 12 seconds. Additionally, Citlali will regain 16 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul can be restored this way once every 8 seconds.
- 4th Ascension Passive: Itzpapalotl's Star Garments
During the Elemental Skill: Dawnfrost Darkstar, Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm Damage is increased by 90% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. During the Elemental Burst: Edict of Entwined Splendor, Ice Storm Damage 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 Passive: Smoke, Mirrors, and the Flowing Winds
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 10 seconds 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.
- Utility Passive: Songs of Profound Mystery
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.
| Level | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Radiant Blades of Centzon Mimixcoah | 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 Stellar Blades. When a nearby active character other than Citlali deals Damage using Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks, or Elemental Skills and Bursts, consume 1 Blade to increase the Damage dealt by 200% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery. After nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, Citlali will gain another 3 Stellar Blades. This effect can trigger once every 8 seconds. 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%. |
| 2 | Heart Devourer's Travail | 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 Passive Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" has its effects enhanced: While Itzpapa is on the field, after nearby party members trigger Frozen or Melt, the enemies affected by this reaction will have their Pyro and Hydro Resistance additionally decreased by 20% for 12 seconds. (You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Mamaloaco's Frigid Rain" to gain access to the above effect.) |
| 3 | Cloud Serpent's Feathered Crown | Increases the Level of Elemental Skill: Dawnfrost Darkstar by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| 4 | Death Defier's Spirit Skull | While the Elemental Skill: Dawnfrost Darkstar is active, when Itzpapa's Frostfall Storm hits enemies, an additional Obsidian Spiritvessel Skull is summoned. When a Spiritvessel Skull summoned this way explodes, it deals 1800% of Citlali's Elemental Mastery as Nightsoul-aligned AoE Cryo Damage and restores 16 Nightsoul points and 8 Energy for Citlali. This effect can trigger once every 8 seconds. This Damage is not considered Elemental Burst Damage. |
| 5 | Nemontemi's Hex | Increases the Level of Elemental Burst: Edict of Entwined Splendor by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| 6 | Teoiztac's Secret Pact | 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 Damage Bonus, and increase the Damage 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. |
This part is about what Citlali thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.
Hmph.
Heh, Mavuika... (ahem) I mean, the Archon came to talk to me the other day. It wasn't until I was eating snacks in the middle of the night that I realized she was basically bragging the whole time! There's an ancient saying from another land that goes, "Saints are humble until you ask them about their duty — that's when their pride stands tall." I think that fits her perfectly.
Between me and Mualani, I honestly don't know who owes who anymore. She breaks my door, owes me Mora, steals my food, but then she brings me snacks and pays for other things... It's too hard to keep track. I'm more than happy to just call it even at this point. Anything to get her to stop waking me up at eleven in the morning... Oh, I mean, um... Never mind! She just startles me with her knocking, that's all.
The small thing that follows him around is a nasty piece of work. Oh, Kinich is a friend of yours? Huh, what else can I say about him... He's pretty reliable, I suppose.
She's someone who completely ignores the rumors about me and doesn't go overboard with friendliness. So, I always feel comfortable around her. Oh! Not that I feel uncomfortable around you! I'm just... overthinking everything, as usual... Great, now you know that, too.
I don't know her that well, but I do know light novels... Someone who's that powerful despite her size must have some kind of power-up that she uses to shoot up to seven feet tall and fight with 200% strength.
...You, young lady over there, turn around and let me have a look. Ah, so this is from The Case Files of Miss Orith. I thought it was the second female lead from Great Detective Herlock. All Fontaine clothes look the same to me. Alright, you can be on your way now. That's all I wanted to say.
