Mualani Skill Guide & How To Use Mualani

How To Use Mualani?

Mualani Is A Hydro DPS Deals Damage With Elemental Skill

Mualani is a Hydro DPS that rides a shark and surf around while marking enemies. While she does not deal damage frequently, each of her attacks deals powerful damage. Playing Mualani with an off-field Pyro and dealing Vaporize will effectively double her damage.

Get 3 Stacks Of Wave Charge

Mark 3 Times And Do Normal Attack

While riding the shark, hitting the enemies will give you one Wave Momentum Stack and accumulating 3 stacks will greatly increase the damage. The amount of damage between 3 and 2 stacks differs greatly so generally you would use 3 stacks before using Normal Attack.

Effects Of Elemental Skill
Nightsoul's Blessing
- Ride shark and increase speed and resistance to interruption.
- Consumes 10 Nightsoul's Blessing every seconds. (Initial Value: 60)
- Effect ends when Nightsoul or Phlogiston
- When enemy is hit they are marked and Mualani gain stat. (Max 3 Stacks)
- Normal Attack is buffed to Shark's Bite.
Sharky's Bite
- Hydro DMG that scales from HP.
- Increase damage depending on the no. of Charge.
- No. of charges reset after using Normal Attack.
- After attacking, Marked enemies will receive a follow-up missile attack. (Max. 5)
└ Follow-Up attack damage launches after Normal Attack.
└ The more enemies, the damage lessens. (Max 28%/ 3 Enemies)
- Enemies marked will have their mark remove when hit by Missile or Normal Attack.

You Can Deal Damage To Multiple Enemies With Follow-Up Missiles

When you marked multiple enemies, after using Normal Attack, an additional missile attack will hit the marked enemies. The follow-up damage is also powerful enough to serve as an AoE option for Mualani. However, take note that if there are more than 2 marked enemies, you will deal less damage.

With Passive, Heat-Resistant Freshwater Floater, Mualani Will Attack More

Night Soul Gain
Passive Heat-Resistant Freshwater Floater
- When buffed Normal Attack hits an enemy, summon one Puffer.
- Getting one Puffer will give you 20 Nightsoul Points.

With 40 points, your skill duration increases by around 4 seconds. allowing you to increase the number of hits you can do during Elemental Skill. If you are in Natlan, with Phlogiston, you can further increase the duration of Skill.

What Is Nightsoul's Burst?- Happens when A Natlan Character deals Elemental DMG.
- The Burst itself does not have damage.
- Activates faster when there are more Natlan Characters
 └1/2/3 charas : 18/12/9 seconds

Elemental Burst is a one-shot attack that has high damage. When the Natlan Characters's special ability, Nightsoul's Burst, is activated it gives an increase Burst DMG so using Elemental Burst. With more Natlan characters, the cooldown of Nightsoul's Burst is also lessen so using Natlan characters in the team is also recommended.

Is Dehya actually that good for her? I'm kinda lazy to build Dehya.

Mualani Fan 2

"Mono-Hydro" is not F2P. Correct it.

Dragneel_02 1

Maybe with next Natlan support she will rise to SS (to enable her passive talent "Natlan's Greatest Guide")
