All Mualani skills in Genshin Impact
Mualani excels as an on-field DPS, capable of delivering powerful Hydro damage. Her elemental skill summons her loyal companion, Sharky, a versatile pet that can assist both in and out of battle.
In combat, she attacks with her signature Sharky Surfboard, dealing Nightsoul-infused Hydro damage that scales with her maximum HP.
Her Elemental Burst unleashes a devastating Super Shark Missile, striking enemies with Nightsoul-aligned AoE Hydro damage, also based on her max HP.
Beyond combat, Mualani’s surfboard allows her to glide effortlessly across land and water, making her an excellent choice for exploration as well.
| MUALANI SKILLS | DESCRIPTION |
| Normal Attack: Cooling Treatment | Normal Attack Performs up to 3 attacks that deal Hydro DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to smack a Pufferball into the air that deals AoE Hydro DMG upon landing. Plunging Attack Gathers the power of Hydro and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground. |
| Elemental Skill: Surfshark Wavebreaker | Combining her mastery of speed and the waves and water, Mualani can surf anytime, anywhere. After using this skill, Mualani will gain 60 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul’s Blessing state. Nightsoul’s Blessing: Mualani Continuously consume Nightsoul points. When they are depleted or when the skill is used again, Mualani’s Nightsoul’s Blessing will end. The state itself has the following traits: – Mualani mounts her Sharky Surfboard, increasing Mualani’s Movement SPD and interruption resistance. Mualani can move on water and liquid Phlogiston while this state is active, and she will take no DMG from the latter. – Normal Attacks will be converted to Sharky’s Bites, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Hydro DMG based on Mualani’s Max HP. Sharky’s Bites can be used in mid-air. DMG dealt this way is considered Normal Attack DMG. – When she makes contact with opponents in this state, Mualani applies “Marked as Prey” to them and gains 1 Wave Momentum stack. Max 3 stacks. 1 stack can be gained from the same opponent every 0.7s. Wave Momentum and Marked as Prey When Mualani uses Sharky’s Bite, her DMG dealt increases based on Wave Momentum stacks. When she has 3 stacks, a Normal Attack will use Sharky’s Surging Bite instead, further increasing her DMG and removing all her stacks when hitting an opponent. When Sharky’s Bites hit opponents Marked as Prey, that mark will be removed, and she will fire Shark Missiles at up to 5 nearby opponents Marked as Prey, dealing DMG to them equal to this Sharky’s Bite instance and clearing their Marks. If more than 1 opponent is the target of Sharky’s Bite and Shark Missiles, the DMG dealt will decrease, decreasing to 72% of the original DMG when at least 3 opponents are targeted. |
| Elemental Burst: Stormburst Shot | Fires a Super Shark Missile that can track opponents, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Hydro DMG based on Mualani’s Max HP. |
| Passive: 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 2 such Puffers can be created in this way during a single instance of being in Nightsoul’s Blessing. |
| Passive: Natlan’s Greatest Guide | When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Mualani will gain 1 stack of Wavechaser’s Exploits, which lasts for 20s. Max 3 stacks. When she uses Stormburst Shot, Mualani will clear all Wavechaser’s Exploits stacks and increase the DMG of this Boomsharka-laka by 15%/30%/45% of her Max HP based on the number of stacks cleared. |
| Passive: Night Realm’s Gift: Crest and Troughs | After her Nightsoul points are depleted, Mualani will switch to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul’s Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, she 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, the following will trigger when switching to Mualani: Mualani will enter the Nightsoul’s Blessing state and gain 40 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own team. Additionally, Mualani’s Nightsoul point or Phlogiston consumption while moving on water and 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: 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. |
