Masters of the Night-Wind · Granny Itztli
An enigmatic elder of the Masters of the Night-Wind. Citlali is a 5-star Cryo Catalyst support who provides Cryo application, shielding, and Melt enablement — not an Electro sword DPS.
Player guidance last verified: July 2026 · Constellation: Patina Orbis
Strengths
- Premier Cryo support for Melt Pyro carries (especially Mavuika)
- Shield + Cryo application in a short field-time package
- Natlan Nightsoul synergy enables Scroll team buffs
- Comfortable defensive utility without Zhongli’s full slot steal
- Strong constellation value for dedicated Melt mains
- Works in Freeze flex teams when you need Cryo aura
Weaknesses
- Personal DPS is secondary to support value
- Less universal than Xilonen in non-Melt teams
- Needs ER planning for Burst/shield uptime
- Overlaps with other Cryo supports (Rosaria, Diona, Layla) on budget accounts
- Wrong element/weapon listings historically confused her kit online
Kit Role Summary
Cryo catalyst shield / Melt enabler
Citlali’s kit revolves around off-field Cryo application and a protective construct / shield fantasy tied to the Night-Wind. Use her skill and burst to set up Cryo aura, then swap to your Pyro carry for Melt. She is a support first, not a catalyst hypercarry like Neuvillette.
Talent priority (practical)
- Elemental Skill — shield / application core
- Elemental Burst — Cryo utility and damage amp window
- Normal Attack — ignore for support builds
Pro tip
In Melt teams, consistency of Cryo aura matters more than Citlali’s personal Crit. Build ER and supportive sets before chasing a DPS circlet.
