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, a Normal Attack will use Sharky’s Surging Bite instead, further increasing her DMG and removing all her stacks afterward.
When Sharky’s Bites hit opponents Marked as Prey, that mark is 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, with 28% being the maximum decrease when at least 3 opponents are targeted.

Utility Passive

After her Nightsoul points are depleted, Mualani will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul’s Blessing.
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, she can use Nightsoul Transmission: Mualani. When the active character is currently sprinting, swimming, in a movement mode caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Mualani: Mualani will enter the Nightsoul’s Blessing state and gain 40 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own team.

Additionally, Mualani’s Nightsoul point or Phlogiston consumption while moving on water and Liquid Phlogiston during Nightsoul’s Blessing is decreased by 75% while in Natlan, and her Nightsoul point consumption is decreased by 35% while doing the same outside Natlan.

  5. Calculation is 5 star weapon based on R1 stats, 3-Star/4-Star weapon based on R5 stats.

A 4-star endgame weapon, this weapon provides a significant boost to Crit Rate and HP. At R5, it can even surpass the R1 Signature Weapon. When using it, be careful to avoid Crit Rate overflow, and remember to maintain the weapon’s effect (you can regain the buff by switching the character off-field and then back on). Additionally, the weapon’s effect provides Elemental Mastery, which also benefits Mualani in a Vaporization Team.

Mualani’s signature weapon, at highest level, offers a secondary stat of 88.2% Crit Damage. The weapon’s effect provides a 20% HP increase and boosts Normal Attack damage. In a Vaporization Team, the average stack count of this buff will be even higher.

This weapon, at highest level, provides a secondary stat of up to 265 Elemental Mastery. The weapon’s effect grants Mualani an Elemental Damage bonus and provides Elemental Mastery to the entire team. It’s best to use this weapon when the other three characters in the team are not Hydro characters.

For Mualani mainly plays in Vaporization Team, all three weapon effects are very effective. However, despite the high buff values at higher refinement , the benefit lasts only 10 seconds while the weapon effect’s cooldown is as long as 30 seconds, making it difficult to trigger consistently in practice.
