Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
As theGenshin Impactstoryline transitions into the Natlan region with the 5.0 update, players are introduced to Mualani, a powerful new 5-star Hydro DPS character. Known for her impressive damage output, Mualani isexpected to rival Neuvillettein terms of DPS potential, offering players another top-tier Hydro option to elevate their teams. Her arrival in the first Natlan patch, alongside other new characters like Kachina and Kinich, adds fresh layers of strategy and excitement toGenshin Impact.
For those that are interesting in pulling for Mualani, whether to go for her constellations, or weapon also become an important consideration. As a 5-star unit, obtaining Mualani’sconstellations requires a significant investment, leading many players to question whether pursuing these upgrades is truly necessary or if Mualani is perfectly viable at C0. Given thatMualani is a DPS character, her constellations can offer valuable enhancements to her damage output, but they also come with the challenge of higher resource requirements. For those wondering whether to invest in her constellations, it’s important to weigh the benefits carefully. Here’s all players need to know as far as Mualani’s constellations' worth goes inGenshin Impact.
Are Mualani Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Mualani’s constellations progressively enhance her damage output, making each subsequent constellation more valuable than the last—except for her third and fifth constellations, which are mainly talent level upgrades. This design makes her constellations generally worth considering if players have the resources. Notably, her C2 is an excellent stopping point for those looking to significantly boost her damage without going all the way to C6, which is her most powerful constellation with its massive DMG increase, following the pattern seen with many strong DPS characters.
For players debating between investing in Mualani’s constellations or her weapon, it’s worth noting that her first two constellations might offer more value than her signature weapon. This is especially true for those who already possess the R5 Sacrificial Jade, ahighly effective alternative for those that purchase the Battle Pass. Prioritizing her constellations could provide a greater overall impact on her performance, allowing players to maximize her damage potential while conserving resources for other investments.
C1 - The Leisurely “Meztli”…
Effect
The DMG dealt by the first Sharky’s Surging Bite after Mualani enters Nightsoul’s Blessing and the Shark Missiles it triggers is increased by 66% of Mualani’s Max HP. This instance of increased DMG is subject to the diminishing DMG rules of Surfshark Wavebreaker.
In addition, while out of combat, Mualani’s Nightsoul’s Blessing state consumes 30% less Phlogiston and Nightsoul points.
Importance
High
Mualani’s first constellation provides a straightforward damage boost, offering around a 20-25% increase in her overall DPS during a proper rotation. This makes it a solid starting point for enhancing her combat capabilities. However, the second part of this constellation is more exploration-focused, allowing Mualani to extend the duration of her Nightsoul’s Blessing, which is particularly beneficial when exploring Natlan. While the damage boost is less significant compared to her later constellations, players who value exploration alongside combat may find this constellation more appealing, especially for navigating the new region with ease.
C2 - Mualani, Going All Out!
Mualani gains 2 of Surfshark Wavebreaker’s Wave Momentum stacks when she enters Nightsoul’s Blessing. She will gain 1 stack when obtaining a Puffer.
In addition, whenever Mualani obtains 2 Puffers within a single instance of the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, she will recover an additional 12 Nightsoul points over 2s. This effect requires the Passive Talent “Heat-Resistant Freshwater Puffer” to be unlocked first.
Mualani’s C2 offers a notable improvement over her C1 in terms of damage output, providing approximately a 40% increase. This boost is achieved by enhancing the Wave Momentum stacks, which significantly increases the damage of her Sharky Bites, making it easier to reach the maximum of three stacks consistently when collecting Puffers. Additionally, the second part of this constellation extends the duration of Nightsoul’s Blessing by 2 seconds, which further contributes to her overall damage output.
C4 - Sharky Eats Puffies
Mualani regenerates 8 Energy when obtaining a Puffer. Must first unlock the Passive Talent “Heat-Resistant Freshwater Puffer.”
Low
Mualani’s fourth constellation enhances her Elemental Burst by allowing her to regenerate energy each time she obtains a Puffer, enabling players to activate her Burst more frequently—essentially every rotation. While this constellation significantly boosts the Burst’s damage, it’s important to note that Mualani’s Elemental Burst generally has lower damage multipliers and is not the primary source of her damage output. Consequently, despite the increased damage, this constellation is less impactful on her overall DPS compared to other constellations and talent level upgrades like C3.
C6 - Spirit of the Springs' People
The DMG increase from the Constellation “The Leisurely ‘Meztli’…” is no longer limited to being triggered once every Nightsoul’s Blessing.
Priority
Mualani’s C6 stands out for its unique enhancement of her C1, lifting the limitation that restricted the damage increase to only the first instance of Sharky’s Surging Bite during each Nightsoul’s Blessing. With this constellation, the HP scaling now applies to every instance of Sharky’s Surging Bite and its missiles, significantly boosting Mualani’s damage output by around 80%. This makes her C6 exceptionally powerful, allowing her to potentially more than double her damage if played optimally. Nonetheless, even at C0, Mualani remains a strong contender, withdamage output comparable to Neuvilletteat a similar investment level.
