As usual, Mualani has seven talents, including normal attack, elemental and burst skills, and four passives. On top of that, you can utilize six of her constellations that require Mualani’s Stella Fortuna to be unlocked at each of the six levels.

Mualani Best Builds in Genshin Impact

Best Mualani Artifact Sets

  • Obsidian Codex
  • Heart of Depth
  • Gilded Dreams

The best artifact set for Mualani, in my opinion, is the Obsidian Codex, since it’s been specifically designed for this hero. It increases Mualani’s critical hit rate by 40% when she consumes a Nightsoul stack. This maximizes her damage output, allowing her to consistently trigger high critical hit rates, which is crucial for her role as the main DPS.

But the other two sets are also very good. For example, the Heart of Depth provides a 15% Hydro damage bonus and increases normal and charged attack damage by 30%. While the Gilded Dreams increases her Elemental Mastery, which can be beneficial for triggering elemental reactions, especially when paired with Pyro characters.

Best Mualani Weapons

  • Surf’s Up
  • Tome of the Eternal Flow

Just like the Obsidian Codex set, the Surf’s Up weapon’s been specifically designed for Mualani. It increases her max HP by 20% and enhances her normal attack damage through the Scorching Summer stacks. But if you wish to focus on maximizing elemental reactions, then Tome of the Eternal Flow would be a better option due to a substantial Elemental Mastery boost.

That’s everything you need to know about all Mualani abilities and best builds in Genshin Impact. Stay tuned for more GI tips and tricks articles right here.
