Overview
Mualani rides Puffup Tubers during her skill, dealing Hydro damage while surfing. Nightsoul points power enhanced attacks. Obsidian Codex 4pc grants DMG bonus in Nightsoul state. She excels at single-target Hydro DPS with high mobility, pair with Citlali for EM buffs.
How to Play
Cast skill to mount Puffup Tuber and surf into enemies, consuming Nightsoul for enhanced damage. Use burst for AoE Hydro and Nightsoul restoration. Stay on-field during surfing windows, Mualani wants extended skill uptime. Apply Vaporize with Bennett or Freeze with Citlali.
Optimal Rotation
Citlali Skill/Burst, Bennett Burst, Kazuha Swirl, Mualani Burst, Mualani Skill, surf and attack until Nightsoul depletes, swap to supports, regenerate Nightsoul, repeat.
F2P Options
Sacrificial Fragments or Ring of Yaxche work as F2P catalysts. Obsidian Codex domain is in Natlan. C0 Mualani with Citlali and Bennett is her best affordable team, constellations add comfort but aren't required.
Common Mistakes
Ending skill early by swapping out, maximize surfing duration. Running without Citlali or EM support loses significant reaction damage. Building pure CRIT without EM in Vape teams. Not maintaining Nightsoul uptime, Obsidian Codex bonus requires it.
