With the release of Natlan, there’s a lot of interest in the first 5-star character from the new nation. Mualani is an on-field Hydro DPS, but how does she stack up against other DPS options? Is Mualani strong enough to redefine meta? Is Mualani worth pulling? Mualani is available in the for the of Version 5.0.

She’s the first character in who can truly take advantage of the with a Hydro trigger. With the proper Pyro teammates, . If you do decide to pull for Mualani, then you won’t be disappointed by her damage.



In terms of raw damage, Mualani in a Vaporize team is roughly on par with Neuvillette in a mono Hydro Furina team. Neuvillette is still unique for his ability to sustain himself with his own healing. Mualani can’t heal herself, but she can be useful for open-world exploration.

If you’re pulling for meta reasons alone, there are plenty of other strong DPS options to choose from. While Mualani may be the only character specializing in forward Vaporize teams, very few scenarios will call for that specific strategy. Are Mualani’s Constellations worth it? Mualani’s Constellations increase her damage to varying degrees.

Her first two Constellations both provide noticeable increases. However, if you have to choose between Constellations and her signature weapon, the signature weapon might be a better value. The rest of her Constellations provide smaller damage increases, with the exception of C6, which is a massive damage boost.

Only pull for C6 Mualani if you have the budget and you really like her; there’s no content in that’s hard enough to require C6 5-star characters. Is Mualani’s weapon worth it? Mualani’s signature 5-star weapon, Surf’s Up, is her best weapon by a sizable margin. However, Constellation 1 and 2 together result in more damage than Surf’s Up alone.

Especially with the recent changes to the weapon banner, Surf’s Up provides better value for your Primogems. You only need one Fate Point to guarantee your desired weapon, and the weapon banner has a more generous pity system. If you have the Primogems to spare, I recommend prioritizing Mualani’s weapon over her Constellations.

Mualani is a complete unit at C0 with free-to-play weapons. Her Constellations and weapon make her stronger, but she’s plenty strong already. Don’t feel pressured to spend Primogems you don’t have, and engage with the gacha system responsibly.
