Surfshark WavebreakerSurfshark Wavebreaker
Combining her mastery of speed and the waves and water, Mualani can surf anytime, anywhere.
After using this skill, Mualani will gain 60 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Mualani
Continuously consume Nightsoul points. When they are depleted or when the skill is used again, Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing will end. The state itself has the following traits:
·Mualani mounts her Sharky Surfboard, increasing Mualani's Movement SPD and interruption resistance. Mualani can move on water and liquid Phlogiston while this state is active, and she will take no DMG from the latter.
·Normal Attacks will be converted to Sharky's Bites, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Hydro DMG based on Mualani's Max HP. Sharky's Bites can be used in mid-air. DMG dealt this way is considered Normal Attack DMG.
·When she makes contact with opponents in this state, Mualani applies "Marked as Prey" to them and gains 1 Wave Momentum stack. Max 3 stacks. 1 stack can be gained from the same opponent every 0.7s.

Wave Momentum and Marked as Prey
When Mualani uses Sharky's Bite, her DMG dealt increases based on Wave Momentum stacks. When she has 3 stacks, Sharky's Bite will be converted to Sharky's Surging Bite, further increasing her DMG and removing all her stacks when hitting an opponent.
When Sharky's Bite hits an opponent Marked as Prey, that mark will be removed, and she will fire Shark Missiles at up to 5 nearby opponents Marked as Prey, dealing DMG to them equal to this Sharky's Bite instance and clearing their Marks. If more than 1 opponent is the target of Sharky's Bite and Shark Missiles, the DMG dealt will decrease, decreasing at most to 72% of the original DMG when 3 opponents are targeted.

First off, Sharky is a freshwater shark on top of being a surfboard. Second, it's not that it wants to eat for real, just that it definitely bites for real.

Character DetailsIf any traveler visiting the People of the Springs for the first time wants to try out the popular watersports here, like swimming, surfing, diving, or water polo... Everyone will recommend they go speak with Mualani, without exception.
Mualani operates the Leisurely Puffer, a store that specializes in products related to watersports. Her goods are expertly designed and of superb quality, while she herself has a vast wealth of knowledge in her capacity as a guide. Not only does she enthusiastically pick out colors and styles that'll "bring good luck" to her customers, but she'll also recommend the most appropriate hot springs, or the coziest seaside bathing spot and cleanest beaches — guaranteeing that her customers can enjoy a truly delightful and relaxing sightseeing trip.
As for those adventurers who are passionate about outdoor exploration and hunting down treasures in domains, they invite Mualani to personally lead the way... as long as they're willing to part with a bit of extra Mora. As a leading guide of the new generation, she has extensive knowledge of the wilderness and abundant experience. Whether her clients wish to just safely and reliably reach their destination, or enjoy a journey full of joy and surprises, Mualani will never disappoint.
"The most important thing on a journey is to have a good time on the way! The second most important is to pick a lucky time to set off!"
Character Story 1There's a certain young lady who tends to leave a deep impression on anyone who's spent any length of time among the People of the Springs, be they resident or tourist.
For example, let's say you're enjoying a peaceful sunbathing session by the sea, and you suddenly hear a "Woohoooooo~~!" in the distance that quickly gets closer as a young lady on a surfboard rides a wave all the way to the shore at high speeds, leaping onto the beach and kicking up a curtain of sand.
Or maybe you're watching a beach volleyball match, and a certain lithe young lady shouts encouragement to her teammates before springing straight up the next second, spiking the ball back towards the other side, your shout of excitement resonating with the waves.
And then there was that one time you were invited to join a gathering, and a bunch of guests meeting for the first time were talking quietly, and people still seemed kinda tense. Just then, she showed up, like a superstar taking the stage, and announced at the top of her lungs:
"C'mon, why's it so quiet? Music's playing, that means it's time to boogie!"
And with that, she leaped to the center of the dance floor, swaying her body in time to the music, while those around her, infected by her enthusiasm, joined in one after another...
You attempted to ask around about who she was, and you instantly got a name without even having to try: Mualani.
And later, when you went to buy some watersports equipment, there in the shop, you saw that beaming face once more.
At first, you were only planning on buying a surfboard, but you ended up learning all about the different locations of the various hot springs of the People of the Springs and how the experiences they offer differ, important tips and tricks for surfing, as well as where to find her little Koholasaurus friends. Of course, she also recommended that you buy a blue board, since it'll bring you good luck.
"Actually, I've seen you before..." You attempt to bring up all the times you met before.
"Oh wow, I didn't realize you were an old friend! In that case, I'll give you 40% off this time, and be sure to come find me if you want some surfing lessons!"
You originally intended to just kick back and relax for a few days, but ended up staying for several months. Over time, you two did in fact end up becoming good friends. One day, your curiosity gets the better of you and you finally ask her why she is so enthusiastic towards every single one of her friends, and even some strangers.
"Yeah, I'd say... There are two kinds of people in the world. Friends you already know, and friends you haven't met yet."
Mualani thinks about it for a moment, then gives you a big smile.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2Mualani's parents are both quite successful merchants. Not only have they established a trade network that spanned Natlan, but they have even established partnerships with foreign merchants.
When she was little, her parents were always busy cultivating relationships with their business contacts, and sometimes, they'd be running around outside the home for weeks at a time. So, Mualani would often roam around town with their puppy, or spend her time with the other kids in the tribe, trying their hand at all kinds of watersports.
It was only on holidays that the family would always decorate their house and make a big meal to celebrate.
During one such family dinner, Mualani asked if she could help lighten their load and shoulder a bit of their work. That way, they should have more quality time together as a family.
"Lots of adults say I've got an ideal personality for doing business!" said she.
Her mother thought Mualani ought to try doing many different things, experience different places, and then decide what she really wanted to do.
Her father added that it wouldn't be too late for her to join the family business if she still wanted to be a merchant afterward, but that they would support her completely should anything else capture her interest.
In the end, Mualani did travel all over, flitting freely over every peak and valley of Natlan like a bird. Many of those faraway vistas were truly enchanting, but as a seabird whose home was by the coast, she often missed the salty smell of the seabreeze.
And so she returned home and engaged in all kinds of watersports, researching the equipment used in them. She wasn't satisfied with the completed products available, so she began learning how to manually modify their functionality herself. She would also apply some lucky colors and some patterns, giving the products a dash more personality.
She became the trendsetter, and every time she changed her gear, everyone else would fall all over themselves to get identical items. Mualani was more than happy to indulge their requests, and over time, she became an "equipment seller" and earned a tidy sum.
Ever since the Leisurely Puffer opened, it has also become more of a gathering place for watersports enthusiasts. Naturally, some among them are more into the sports aspect, and others are more focused on the equipment.
Regardless, Mualani gradually experienced the joy of operating a business — the smiles on the faces of people when they receive something they love shine brighter than glittering gold.
What is this really what Mualani wants to do the most? If you ask her that question, she'll definitely scratch her head:
"Hey, life's a journey, you know, and you can keep on enjoying all kinds of scenery as long as it lasts! There's no rush to decide on a destination, especially when there's such a long way to go! That's what makes it so fun!"
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Mualani used to never plan ahead when traveling. Whenever she arrived someplace, she'd wander around, chatting with locals and asking about fun things to do nearby, good places to eat, or any unique local customs, and then decide on the spot what to do that day.
If she really hit it off with someone, she'd happily invite them along. This usually developed into a lively party, or a fun excursion nearby.
As long as Mualani isn't running too short on time, she'll soon know "the sights and places only the locals know" like the back of her hand.
Sometimes, other tourists and sightseers will ask her for directions, and as soon as she starts expounding on her knowledge of the area, it's hard to blame them for assuming she's a guide and offering her money to show them around.
Mualani would repeatedly wave her hands: "A guide must ensure the safety of travelers, and that's way out of my league! Besides, I only just got here myself!"
Friends visiting the People of the Springs from afar was when Mualani really got to show her skills.
Some of her friends said she was a born guide, and others urged her:
"Once you're a guide, take us to dragon ruins nobody else has even been to for a look! Maybe we'll find some valuable swag!"
Mualani thought it all sounded very doable, so the next day, she went and found the famous guide, Nuu, and asked to be his student.
She asked him, just what skills does a guide that wants to take people exploring need to master?
Nuu thought for a second: "First is wilderness survival, such as the behaviors of wild animals, the uses of and how to cook common plants, and how to pick a good campsite. Next is knowing the land itself, such as how to judge the direction of the tides and the length of time between eruptions. You must also have actually traveled across the landscape, traversing the canyons, caves, and volcanoes. Yes, spend about three years doing that, and you'll be ready to start learning."
Mualani was about to just turn and leave, but suddenly thought better of it. She did want to see many places she ordinarily wouldn't, and so she paid a huge sum as her tuition fee.
Though Nuu emphasized that reaching your destination safely was the most important thing, Mualani could never resist seeing where the other fork in the road led. After all, what if there was some amazing treasure waiting to be found? And so, all kinds of accidents inevitably happened, like accidentally charging into Koholasaurus nests or falling into pits concealed by grasses.
But Mualani didn't fuss about such situations. To her, taking the wrong road helped her remember the right path, not to mention that sometimes, her misadventures led to windfalls — for example, finding an ore unknown to anyone in their time buried at the bottom of the pit.
Later, when she officially became a guide, she remembered her teacher's words, and planned the safest, most reliable routes for travelers. Still, a journey without happy accidents was kind of like an Apple Roly Poly without Apple, and that was completely unacceptable to Mualani.
Once, she was taking some tourists to a plateau that commanded an expansive view. She suggested a group photo, and just as they had all gotten into their poses and chosen their expressions, just as Mualani was lifting up the Kamera, a volcano in the distance suddenly erupted.
Mualani pressed the shutter in that very instant, and clapped and laughed at the resulting photo. "A perfect shot! Go me! Guess I planned out the best spot for the picture, huh?"
Just then, a massive rumbling caused the tourists to look at each other apprehensively. Mualani reassured them:
"Relax, it's totally safe at this distance! Next up, there'll be a few smaller eruptions. You'll never see anything else like it, so have a seat and enjoy the show!"
That's the kind of reliable guide Mualani is, helping you reach your destination safely even amidst heart-stopping excitement.
Shame, though, that even to this day, she's never found a Saurian relic that can fetch a decent price.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
Character Story 4"C'mon, pleeeeease, you've gotta tell me my fortune for this trip!" Mualani's whole body was slumped against the door as she shouted. "I'll paaaay!"
"Go find someone else!" Citlali — the high priestess of the Masters of the Night-Wind, who had left the tribe to live alone, was inside her home on the other side of the door, also pressed against it — "You're just taking some people out for a stroll, just what the heck kinda danger do you think there is? Don't overthink it, girl!"
Separated only by Citlali's door, their epic struggle unfolded. It was only when Citlali finally threatened Mualani with having to pay her back the full retail price for the door if it broke that peace finally reigned once more.
Yet there was no way Mualani would be discouraged so easily, so she brought a basket brimming with food on her next visit.
Fried shrimp beanballs, blazed meat stew, Saurus crackers... Though Citlali by no means wished to entertain guests — well, she mostly just didn't want to bother tidying up her place — but for the sake of the food, she let her in.
After Citlali had eaten and drunk to her heart's content, Mualani sought to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of Citlali's good mood, unleashing her finishing move:
"Say, Granny, you know that a new volume of 'Mirage Warriors' is coming out soon, don't you?"
Citlali was unfazed. "As a loyal reader who has reached the level of a walking encyclopedia, of course I know."
"You know, my next clients are visiting Natlan for inspiration, some editors and authors from the Yae Publishing House... Oh my, maybe I could even get an advance copy!"
"Ahem! The lands of Natlan are suffused with mystery and the unknown. We must all revere the night and fire. I shall make an exception and divine your fortune this time."
...
"Should you encounter a fork in the road, you must take the right-hand path." Such was the revelation that the Night-Wind that blew upon the future brought to Citlali in her meditations. "It's a good thing you came to me, girl. Were you not forewarned, the consequences would have been unthinkable."
Before setting out, Mualani double-checked the map. There should be but one way to the destination. But when Mualani's party reached the volcano's innards, a crossroads unmarked on the map appeared before them. Apparently, the active volcano had already altered the terrain in the area.
Following Citlali's advice, she was able to lead the entire group to the original destination without incident, as expected.
From then on, Mualani respectfully referred to Citlali as the "coolest elder," and often brought her all kinds of presents as she sought "life advice." It was from that time that the frequency of Mualani's mentions of "good luck" and "bad luck" began to steadily tick upwards.
Even to this day, the two wage war from opposite sides of Citlali's door. Should Citlali slip up and find herself on the back foot, then Mualani will once more barge into her home through the crack in the door.

Character Story 5The war between Natlan and the Abyss has lasted for centuries. Like most other natives of Natlan, Mualani grew up on a diet of the stories of those legendary heroes. But the life she actually saw was nothing like that chronicled in the woven scrolls, filled with danger and excitement.
The People of the Springs that Mualani remembered had a really laid-back atmosphere, and they lived leisurely lives, never too hurried. When the big kahunas agreed to discuss some important matter or another, they'd usually take a nice comfy soak in the hot springs first, then enjoy some snacks along with milk before finally slowly getting around to the actual business.
Even the music popular amongst the tribe tended to be really laid-back and mellow.
Hearing those stories of distant battlefields as a child, the puzzled Mualani once posed this question to an elder tasked to serve as a guardian:
"Is the Abyss a dangerous enemy? But then, why doesn't anybody seem nervous at all?"
The elder guffawed, and she patted Mualani's head. "It's not all that scary. Once you're all grown up, you'll be able to defeat it too."
Mualani was still a bit confused, but it wasn't a very pressing concern, so she tossed it to the back of her mind for the time being and kept on growing up, without a care in the world.
Until one night, when the Abyss suddenly attacked her tribe. Mualani witnessed with her own eyes how the guardians strove against the monsters, and finally understood that the carefree life she had always enjoyed was not to be taken for granted.
Following the elders of the tribe, she slowly learned the ways of battle. Her long experience with watersports ensured that she had phenomenal physical capabilities, and she was like a charging shark in battle.
Later, she organized a team to participate in the Pilgrimage of the Return of the Sacred Flame, but as the squad was mostly composed of newcomers, they quickly wiped out in the team round.
Her teammates were pretty dejected, but Mualani was as cheerful as ever: "We managed to go a few rounds with the pros! That's already pretty awesome! Plus, we got a lot of experience, so we'll do even better next time!"
And just like she said, they steadily improved each time they participated, until finally, they earned their laurels and the right to participate in the Night Warden Wars.
Then, her impression of the Abyssal enemy was still that of her memories of the night from all those years ago: Huge, powerful, unstoppable. Yet when she and her companions came face-to-face with their foes, she unexpectedly found that she could take them down, one after another.
"Looks like today's my lucky day, I didn't run into anything too tough."
This "good luck" never left her, and she participated in three Night Warden Wars and was victorious in all three, never even needing to be resurrected.
Each time she returned triumphant, the tribe would hold a huge hot springs party. Children who had heard tell of her experiences would run over and beg her to teach them her fighting techniques.
"I wanna be an awesome warrior like you, too!"
Looking at their innocent faces, Mualani was reminded of her own childhood, and how she too and asked her elders questions. She smiled and waved her hands.
"The Abyss isn't that scary, you know! You should be having fun now — save the fighting stuff for when you're all grown up!"
"Oh, right! Let me teach you how to surf next time!"
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6
"Sharky Surfboard"Once, when Mualani was surfing, she encountered a freshwater shark. Though initially far away, it approached her rapidly and soundlessly, before suddenly breaching the surface, its razor-sharp teeth reflecting the sunlight with a cold gleam.
"Haha, are you here to surf too?" Mualani nimbly cut back, swiftly switching directions and dodging its attack. She sped up, putting some distance between them: "In that case, let's race!"
Accepting her challenge, the freshwater shark pursued her relentlessly as Mualani sped on ahead with everything she had, the spray laying a long white raceway for them.
As they approached the coastline, the freshwater shark turned back in a fury, its hunt a failure. Mualani, not far away, waved back at it: "Let's play again next time!"
Later, she would encounter this same challenger in those same waters. Mualani dubbed it "Sharky," and the two of them raced over and over. In the first few rounds, Mualani was faster, but the shark was not to be outdone, and slowly closed the gap, until finally, it caught her. But that time, it didn't chomp her, but instead elegantly shook its chubby body, announcing itself the victor.
"You won this one! Okay, here's your promised reward." Mualani fed it the dried fish she'd brought, and rubbed its fins.
They became true surfing buddies. Until one day, after they finished playing, Sharky circled her a few times, and then waved its caudal fin, swimming off in the direction of the setting sun.
Mualani waved as she usually did, but when she next went to her old spot to surf, she didn't see that speedy round shape as she normally did.
Mualani knew that any encounter is but a part of the journey, and that everyone eventually finds their new destination. Still, that doesn't mean the happiness that was shared must disappear.
So thinking, Mualani took out a piece of paper, and began to draw. Two weeks later, she handed the design for the "Sharky Surfboard" to an artisan she was familiar with. Sharky's fins were hard, but its tail was flexible. To achieve this, she chose her materials carefully, also recreating the texture of Sharky's skin, and even reproducing how its teeth meshed together.
As for the color scheme, it naturally had to be eye-catching so that everyone who saw Sharky would remember what it looked like!
And so, with her new gear in tow, Mualani was the center of attention once more. Amidst the ardent cries, the "Sharky Surfboard" was eventually mass-produced and sold to the public — though naturally, that version can't bite.
When Mualani surfs, she occasionally wonders when the next time she'll get to race Sharky is. After all, Mualani really wants to know just who is faster: Sharky Surfboard, or Sharky.

VisionMualani would later profoundly understand what the Ancient Name "Umoja" signified, yet her personal perception of it actually began on what was — at first — a perfectly peaceful night many years before.
That night, it was already midnight as she and her friends' boisterous hot springs party was winding down. Everyone was still soaking in the joyous afterglow when a loud sound in the distance shattered the quiet. It was wholly out of place, and made all the more clear by the night's prior tranquility.
Everyone was staring at each other uneasily, unsure of what had happened. Just then, Atea, who had been patrolling, hurried over: "All of you, run for safety! It's an Abyss attack!"
The scene immediately exploded into chaos, as everyone prepared to flee, yet Mualani raised her hand high: "Atea! I'd like to stay and help!"
After Mualani stepped up, the others too slowly began to step forward, hoping to contribute what they could.
"Nope, none of you have any combat experience. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Battle is no joking matter."
But Mualani's determination was no joke either. As a member of the tribe, she didn't think she should stay out of it.
"There should be ways we can help other than fighting."
As Mualani said this, she looked back at those familiar friends who had also chosen to stay—
Irapa's feet had wings, and he was a supremely fast runner. He could go alert nearby residents. Ollanta had a powerful physique, and good eyesight, and was perfect for helping patrol, while Yana had once been a lifeguard, and knew first-aid techniques, so she could act in a supporting role...
"And as for me," Mualani stepped onto her surfboard, her pride and joy, "My speed is second to none. I'll go wherever I'm needed!"
Her companions agreed, and Atea had better things to do than try and stop them, so she directed them to take care of each other and put safety first.
"In that case, Mualani, come with me to find the Abyssal Pylons."
...
Mualani followed the Spiritways, scouting the area around the tribe and confirming the Abyssal Pylon locations. Every time she found one, she'd relay the information to the guardians as they fought.
There was one Pylon that was disgorging an inordinate number of monsters, and the warriors were pitted in a bitter struggle against them. By the time Mualani finally was able to find reinforcements, the battlefield was already scorched and blackened.
Atea's blade flashed, its keen edge cleaving deep into a monster's body, just as yet another monster behind her was bracing itself to strike.
"Watch out!" Mualani shouted at the top of her lungs as she accelerated towards the monster, colliding with it in mid-leap and bowling it over — but in the process, she herself became utterly exposed.
Having been so challenged, the monster turned and raised its keen claws towards Mualani. She shrank back and tensed, but the attack never came. Warm blood splashed her face, as Atea's sharp steel pierced its heart clean through.
...
The grueling battle lasted until daybreak. When they finally confirmed that all the Abyssal Pylons had been sealed, Mualani followed behind Atea and the guardians, returning exhausted to the tribe.
Mualani noticed that everyone was injured to a greater or lesser extent. Some had already done emergency first-aid, wrapping the wounds in bandages. By comparison, having been protected by everyone else, she only had a few shallow scrapes.
A new feeling welled up in her heart, regret mixed with a feeling of defiance, a resolve not to merely accept this result. "If only I were faster, then I'd have been of more help."
She clenched her fists, and privately made up her mind. She would seek out the warriors of the tribe to learn how to fight.
It was only after Atea brought Mualani back home that her anxious parents, who had been worrying all night, learned she had returned from the battlefield.
"She really is a very brave kid." Before she left, Atea patted her cheek.
...
That day, Mualani dreamed for a very long time. Had her face not lain on something very hard when she rolled over, she might've slept yet longer.
Opening her eyes, she felt that hard object in her hand — a crystal-clear Vision.
Following the rays of sunlight streaming in through the window, she caressed it in her palm, inspecting it carefully over and over to make sure it wasn't some toy her parents had bought for her.
"Is this the spoils for winning my first fight? Now that's what I'd call lucky!"

  1. idk but to me for the simply fact they made ANOTHER hydro + catalyst is enough to skip, I’m really sick of this combo, as if their dead brain couldn’t do any different.
    Barbruh, Mona, Kokofish, Neuvi, and now her. While we still miss a hydro claymore for instance.
    She’s very nice, new gameplay and whatever, but really, a big massive ginormous fukk you hydro catalyst archetype.
    Just.
    STOP
    do the other missing combos first, make this damn game more balanced with elements and weapons… no I’m asking too much for those chestnut brains

  6. Guys, girls and everything in the middle. Why are you always so mean in the comments?. Why we can’t just talk about what we like respectfully?.
    This things must be fairly simple, you like the character? go for it. You dont have it clear? don’t pull, just that.

    I’ve been playing this game since its release and thats mostly my mantra, thats why I pulled for Dehya, and look at her, central piece of my Liney comp. Just enjoy the little things and be respectful with each other, it has no cost and you’ll feel better, trust me.

    I just want to share that little piece of advice, be good with each other.

    Peace, and love you all.

    • Unfortunately you can’t really expect common sense and general positivity from this community. Most of the more vocal people are pathetic as hell, shitty people with probably a shitty life, and so bitterness and negativity are all they can really offer. I came to this page looking to see some insights on the character, and while there is quite enough of that here, reading the comments was also a reminder of why I distanced myself in the first place.

  7. Repost from another page, just for future players to note:

    ” ”
    Have you all noticed that Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City thing can currently be used by Sacrificial Jade Mualani?

    She has 60.2% Crit Rate just from , plus you can expect about 15%-25% from good artifacts with barely any rolls into CR (just having them there, the other 3 stats being %CD, %HP and EM… Flat HP subs are almost completely irrelevant for anyone but Nilou).

    This means that a Nuke Mualani could already have around 100% CR (using Diluc’s / Qiqi’s / Lyney’s / Neuvillette’s Offensive dishes as she scales off HP and those always bring 20% CR with them) without any actual investment into it, making her the most comfortable Damage Per Screenshot character ever added to Genshin (and quite possibly one of the strongest).

    And because she has around 80% CR without the food buff, not only is this build quite decent for Abyss from the get-go, but the whole thing requires only minor alterations / abyss buffs in order to get back to 100%.

    Of course, as with any other support set, you are not supposed to have multiple of them, meaning that the introduction of a Natlan character capable of replacing one of her current ideal team mates will make the set useless for her.

    Did I mention that it is sure to increase (multiplicatively, that is, if you have 150% ER, ) her current ER by about 11% (60/54) even with Mualani being the only Natlan character in your entire party, and that this effect is NOT something you can get for the whole party?

    But does this have a breaking point considering constellations, meta teams and her weapon? You bet there is, but you would be surprised by how far ahead it is set, and the caveats of said break point (or should I say, breaking pointS)

    For damage per screenshot? Having C1 and her weapon makes a lot of difference since C1 allows her first Normal Attack to have the same multiplier of her Elemental Burst with ALL passive stacks and her weapon has %CD instead of %CR (so you can trade reliability for big numbers and repeat until you get your desired outcome – the crit) as well as a passive that is exclusive to Normal Attacks.

    Still, if you aiming purely for numbers, the fat 40% CR given by Obsidian Codex won’t be of much use. Consider 4PC Heart of Depth or a combination of 2x 2PC of the many Hydro and/or HP sets.

    For DPS? The break point for switching from this to Obsidian Codex is having C6 and at least one copy of her weapon (replacing Sac Jade). The reason is simple: At C6, you may as well forget that she has an Elemental Burst given how she is able to squeeze so many near-Burst numbers before even Instructor or/and Kazuha’s buff ends, and her weapon’s passive (geared solely for Normal Attacks) will greatly enhance her Normal Attacks.

    As for the fact that another Natlan character is capable of using this set, given that Kinich and Mualani are Dendro and Hydro, respectively, I would be very skeptical about a Natlan Dendro or Hydro character replacing Nahida and Furina/Mona as Mualani’s team mates any time soon, and I doubt that Chasca is more than a sidegrade to Kazuha, even more so if we are talking about a C2 Kazoo.

    So the only character it’s logical to expect to be replaced by a Natlan equivalent is the Pyro unit. More specifically, Dehya in possession of R5 Forest Regalia is outstanding in Mualani teams that also have Nahida, and Mavuika being more or less confirmed as yet another Pyro Claymore makes her perfect as a replacement for Dehya (mind the lowered survivability, though, so you will most likely NEED Prototype Amber for Nahida even more than before)… So long as she’s capable of applying any off-field Pyro.

    Pyro Traveller, if capable of entering Nightsoul Blessing (and of course applying Pyro off-field), will be a good equivalent to Mavuika given that R5 Sapwood Blade also provides 120 Elemental Mastery, just like R5 Forest Regalia.

    But again, Sacrificial Jade does crazy thing to your Mualani build, so you may want to consider an artifact set different from Obsidian Codex in order to use all the stats given by Jade in their fullest.

    TL; DR: Until Mavuika/Pyro Traveller gets released or if you end up fancying Chasca, this set may as well be the best choice for Sacrificial Jade Mualani. And even after the characters mentioned get released, you may want to opt for other artifacts sets (boosts to HP, Hydro DMG and Normal ATK) over 4PC Obsidian Codex unless you have a C6R1 Mualani or better.

    ” ”

    Hope this helps future Travellers in their road to big numbers and high DPS!

  8. So Mualani’s gonna have some interesting team differences.

    You’re either gonna go with Xiangling as the sole pyro application and run some non-dendro teammates so could be Zhongli + Kachina or would be Sucrose + Candace/Mona.

    Then the other type of teams she would have is a burnvape team where she isn’t very dependent on Xiangling since burning supplies enough pyro aura, so you have options like Thoma + Nahida/Emilie, or the pyro could be Dehya or Xinyan.

    I’m thinking, why not get the best of both and make a dendro resonance burnvape team- Mualani, Gilded Dreams Nahida (for 1k EM to share 250 EM wtih Mualani), Emilie (Unfinished Reverie), and Dehya on deepwood. Mualani will deal plenty of vape damage with being supported by 300 EM from Nahida + dendro resonance, and Emilie will dish out damage from off field, plus with Nahida in team, she will be given enough energy to burst every rotation to net more AoE damage for a relatively ST hypercarry. Dehya on deepwood to apply pyro to start the campfire, and Nahida to continue applying burning. Dehya will support Emilie’s damage through dendro res shred and will reduce burning damage done and reduce damage Mualani takes.

    I believe it to be a pretty strong team. Nahida + Emilie together provides Emilie with enough energy and Nahida can sustain burning application herself, while Dehya can carry deepwood and be the occassional pyro app.. Mualani benefits from the Em nahida and Emilie brings. Will probably be a solid team that goes untested because hardly anyone would fit into the criteria of pulling and obtaining both Emilie and Mualani.

    • if you run mualani nahida emilie dehya, it would be more beneficial to have nahida on deepwood and then put your dehya on instructor. while it will be harder to hit the 1000 em cap for nahida, it is stronger as long as you can do it. also the other reason ppl run gilded is to help nahida dmg, but her dmg is negligible outside of quicken teams, so its really worth running elsewhere

  9. unrelated to everything, but considering some mindblowing unexpected changes (artifacts, free shitqiqi) do you guys think that a day they’ll rework old bad crap constellation?
    and to whoever says it’s a gatcha and they want to sell new units: bullshit; or better: considering hoyo unrelatable and horrible marketing it could be, but actually it’s just the opposite, because they don’t have to invest money to create a chara anew. Their investment is minimum, and maybe it doesn’t even need devs. Just delete shit and make something decent, idk like that retard xiao constellation increasing defense, just increase atk. Random thing, but do you really think it’s a money loss? you can still rerun, and you can still make people pull “old” chara if they get a new boost. Or imagine an Albedo with his dogshit constellation. Now a rerun is just for dreamy hopeless, especially after Chiori, but even without being so powerful with constellation he can still be a pull for everyone with a massive intelligent rework.
    They’re afraid to make good money again on him? is this their “strategy”? even Venti, especially becuse of archon…. and he’s just garbage today
    idk maybe I have to study marketing but to me this is just nonsense
    (i can understand it as standard banner: i’ll never expect a better dehya ofc, but even in this let’s see tighnari and how good he is just because of dendro, and his c6 is very good making him better than c0 alhaitham, a dps who’s SS tier… so it’s ok a constellation like that for standard, and not a rework for a non standard?)

    • honestly would be really cool if they did
      but doubt they will
      sure they spend less resources, but also, the people that already pulled/whaled for those cons is also money that they already got
      kinda hard to guess how good it’d be, but not that we should care about the revenue of a company that usually treats it’s playerbase like shit
      also imo the smart move would be to add stuff to those cons, not to remove what they have in place of something new
