New F2p Friendly Hydro DPS from Natlan- Best Mualani Build in Genshin Impact

The first 5-star playable character of Natlan, Mualani, was released on August 28, 2024, in Genshin Impact. Known for her sweet personality and skills as a surfer and guide, she has quickly become a favorite among players. Her playstyle is as enjoyable and vibrant as a beach party, making her the perfect character for explorers. And with her surfboard, which is shaped like a shark and has a biting attack, Mualani packs a powerful punch that is comparable to a truck.

Currently, she is considered one of the best DPS characters. If you are looking to obtain this powerful Hydro character, here is the optimal build to transform her into an unstoppable force of nature.

1. What is the optimal Mualani build in Genshin Impact?

To achieve the optimal Mualani build in Genshin Impact, it is essential to have a HP of at least 30k, a well-balanced combination of CRIT Rate and DMG ratio, a complete 4-piece artifact set, and a fully upgraded weapon.

  • Best Artifact- Obsidian Codex
  • Best Weapon- Surf’s Up or R5 Widsith
  • Best Team- Mulani, Xiangling, Kazuha, and Zhongli

2. Best Artifact

The most suitable option for Mualani is the 4-piece Obsidian Codex set.

This set significantly boosts Mualani’s CRIT Rate by 40% while she is in the Nightsoul state (after using her skill). It is essential for maximizing her potential for one-shot kills. Equipping this set also allows for a greater emphasis on CRIT DMG, maintaining a well-balanced ratio.

Since the Obsidian Codex is a recent release, it is possible that many players do not have the complete set. If this is the case, the following artifacts can be used instead.

  • 4-pc Marechaussee Hunter
  • Any 2-pc 2-pc HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus set.

3. Top Weapon

Surf's Up

Surf’s Up is the most effective weapon for consistent damage, while the Widsith at R5 is optimal for nuke damage.

Surf’s Up provides a significant amount of CRIT DMG and boosts both HP and Normal Attack damage. Each Normal Attack will decrease the number of stacks, but it will also result in higher damage when using Vaporize.

The Widsith, obtainable at R5, grants one of three stacks for 10 seconds with a 30-second cooldown: a 120% ATK increase, a 96% increase in all Elemental DMG, or a 480 increase in Elemental Mastery. While the ATK boost is not beneficial for her, the other two are highly advantageous. However, obtaining the passive ability relies on RNG and may be inconsistent.

Note: Widsith at R1 can also be an option, but the damage is significantly lower.

Additional choices include:

  • Tome Of The Eternal Flow
  • Sacrificial Jade
  • Ring Of Yaxche (F2p)
  • Prototype Amber

Top Ranked Teams

The optimal team composition for Mualani includes Xiangling, Kazuha, and Zhongli. This is because Mualani’s surfboard attack has a significantly high damage multiplier and it is essential to pair her with a Pyro character in order to achieve maximum nuke damage.

Having either Sucrose or Kazuha, both Anemo characters, in your team is highly beneficial. It should be noted, however, that their Res Shred effect only lasts for a maximum of 10 seconds. Additionally, it is crucial to have a healer or sustainer on your team.

The other teams are-

  • Mualani, Kazuha, Dehya, Kachina (Vape)
  • Mualani, Emilie, Nahida, Thoma (Burn-vape)
  • Mualani, Furina, Baizhu, Xiangling (Fast-Vape)
  • Mualani, Furina, Sigewinne, Kazuha (Mono-Hydro)
