Mualani kit
Mualani is a 5-Star Hydro character who uses a catalyst, and here's a summary of Mualani's kit in Genshin Impact:
- Element: Hydro.
- Rarity: 5-Star.
- Weapon: Catalyst.
- Normal attack: Cooling Treatment.
- Elemental Skill: Surfshark Wavebreaker.
- Elemental Burst: Boomsharka-laka.
- Passive one: Night Realm's Gift: Crests and Troughs - After Mualani's Nightsoul points are depleted, she can switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul's Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Devices within Natlan, Mualani 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, Mualani will enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and gain 40 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered every 10 seconds by your own team. Additionally, Mualani's Nightsoul point or Phlogiston consumption while moving on water ad 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.
- Passive two: Heat-Resistant Freshwater Puffer - When Sharky's Surging Bite hits an opponent, a Puffer will be generated nearby. Mualani will restore 20 Nightsoul points when she picks up a Puffer. Only two such Puffers can be created in this way during a single instance of being in Nightsoul's Blessing.
- Passive three: Natlan's Greatest Guide - After a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Mualani gains one stack of Wavechaser's Exploits, which lasts for 20 seconds, and has a max of three stacks. When Mualani uses Boomsharka-laka, she will clear all Wavechaser's Exploits stacks and increase the damage of this Boomsharka-laka by 15%/30%/45% of her Max HP based on the number of stacks cleared.
- Exploration bonus: The Trick is to Keep Smiling! - While in an area with Phlogiston mechanics within Natlan, 15 Phlogiston will be restored when interacting with some harvestable items. Additionally, the location of nearby resources unique to Natlan will appear on your mini-map.
Mualani normal attack - Cooling Treatment
Mualani performs up to three rapid attacks of Hydro damage, if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Mualani consume stamina to smack a Pufferball into the air that deals AOE (Area of Effect) Hydro damage upon landing.
As with most plunging attacks, Mualani strikes the ground below dealing AOE Hydro damage upon impact, and damaging any enemies caught on her path to the ground.
Mualani Elemental Skill - Surfshark Wavebreaker
Mualani can surf anytime, anywhere, and after using her Skill, Mualani will gain 60 Nightsoul points and enter her Nightsoul's Blessing state.
Nightsoul's Blessing: Mualani continuously consumes Nightsoul points, and when they are depleted, or when the skill is used again, Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing will end. The Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing state itself has the following traits:
- Mualani Mounts her Sharky Surfboard, increasing her movement speed and interruption resistance. Mualani can move on water and in Liquid Phlogiston while this state is active, and she will take no damage from the latter.
- Normal attacks will be converted to Sharky's Bites, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Hydro damage based on Mualani's Max HP. Sharky's Bites can be used place in mid-air, and damage dealt this way is considered normal attack damage.
- When Mualani makes contact with opponents in this state, she applies 'Marked as Prey' to them, gaining one Wave Momentum stack, with a maximum of three stacks. One stack can be gained from the same opponent every 0.7 seconds.
When Mualani uses Sharky's Bite, the damage dealt increases based on her Wave Momentum stacks. When she has three stacks, a normal attack will use Sharky's Surging Bite instead, further increasing her damage and removing all stacks when hitting an opponent.
When Sharky's Bites hit opponents Marked as Prey, that mark is removed, and Mualani will fire Shark Missiles at up to five nearby opponents Marked as Prey, dealing damage to them equal to this Sharky's Bite instance and clearing their Marks. If more than one opponent is the target of Sharky's Bite and Shark Missiles, the damage dealt will decrease, decreasing to 72% of the original damage when at least three opponents are targeted.
Mualani Elemental Burst - Boomsharka-laka
Mualani fires a Super Shark Missile that can track opponents, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AOE Hydro damage based on Mualani's Max HP.
