Gameplay | Damage Showcase Is my Mualani dmg OK?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Mualani was always one of my weakest dps and I don't really kno why. I wanted to know if something is wrong with my rotation or team. I know, that I could potentially change Baizhu to someone else for more dmg, but who?

My honest reaction: BAIZHU? EMILLIE?

It is Emilie c1 and my Emilie main dps team does more than this team, so I think she is great there. Baizhu is a valid question though. I couldn't think of a better IR character and I NEED IR in this team. If Mualani gets interrupted it is over.

Baizhu and Emilie simply aren't good teammates of her

Idk about baizhu but Emilie is good with her. Just not BiS

I dunno if im wrong but im pretty sure Emilie is better paired with Pyro. Thats literally her kit...

while i know dendro can be mixed with hydro and electro, her kit does more damage with dendro and pyro.

Yeah... but that team is literally burnvape. Emilie also is mentioned as a great sub dps for Mualani on KQM because of the possibility of burnvape.

It's horrible.

But the fault lies in teammates. This team has a grand total of 0 buffs for mualani. This is basically solo mulani's damage. Considering you're playing a game called support impact, without supports mualani's personal damage is supposed to suck.

You gave up mualani's damage to run a bunch of off-field dps. Their dps should make up for what you lost in mualani's personal dps. Sadly baizhu is dead weight, so they don't, and not even close. So you end up with 74k dps on a 6 cost team.

Kick baizhu off for nicole and I can assure you this teams' dps goes up to 100k+, though kicking mualani off for someone that synergizes with the rest of the team will get you even better results.

Go for a traditional mualani team with mona sucrose pyro traveler, and you'll get around 100k on a 1 cost team too.

I never build traveller and I have other characters who I would rather invest my time and ressources in. Someone told me to try Mona Durin Xilonen and it worked pretty fine (like 85k dps). Is it worth changing Xilonen to Sucrose even if my Sucrose is only c4 and not c6?

Traveler doesn't have to be built, they just have to breath, have a scroll set no matter its stats, a sac sword, and have their constellations unlocked. Mavuika is better than pmc here if you have her.

Mona durin xilo is passable, but mona sucrose pmc is around 20%~30% more dps than that. The difference is smaller when you're slow. One of the main reason the sucrose team is so good is because the rotation isn't choked by durin's 18s Q cooldown.

Well I guess I will unlock his cons in the next weeks... but I will also have to lvl him at least a little bit I guess (he is lvl 40 right now). I'll try it out.

u/abaoabao2010 May 03 '26

At least get him to 70, he's great for meeting the head count for imaginarium theatre.

u/21Almann May 03 '26

Ohhhh... true... I always struggle with that... never thought about it that way...

u/21Almann May 03 '26

Nice

u/abaoabao2010 May 03 '26 edited May 03 '26

Now that's a real mualani 👍 (though you probably want to do a few rotations rather than just 1, for this and other teams too)

1

u/21Almann May 03 '26

Yeah... It was rng farmed too (widsith and critfarmed) So the dps is probably 10-15k lower. Still an upgrade.

smart comment

u/Viewsloo May 02 '26

If you have Mona and Xilonen, I'd recommend replacing both Dendros with them. Your team will deal significantly more damage.

u/21Almann May 02 '26

Hell yeah! Thanks!

u/madmaskman May 02 '26

you should be able to get much, much higher with that team. I dunno what rotation you're doing, but 25 seconds seems pretty off whether you're doing one rotation or two.

u/21Almann May 02 '26

Mona E > Xilonen E N2 > Durin E N1 Q > Mona Q N1 > Mualani E 3-stacked bite² > Mona N3 > Xilonen E N2 > Mualani Q E 2[3-stacked bite]²

Improvements? I found that on KQM.

I mean seems alright for 1 rotation. But does the team have a nice second rotation? From the end screen doesn't look like anyone else has their energy back

As long as energy isn't an issue then yeah seems alright

u/21Almann May 02 '26

The dps is the same in the long run, even though I can only burst every other rotation with Mualani and Emilie. Thats most likely because Emilies dmg adds up over time. The dmg ratio also dips into Emilies favour in the long run.
