    Classic Mona burst build to trigger Vaporize 2.0x multiplier.

    3. Wait 2.5 seconds for Mona’s burst ICD (Mona should stay on field if you have Bennett, to keep the buff)
    4. Swap to Pyro character and apply Pyro on enemy.
    5. Burst will pop after enemy gets hit, applying Hydro and vaporising her damage.
