#1 Mualani Vaporize Surf Team

Tier SS

A Vaporize-focused team built around Mualani as the on-field Hydro Main DPS. Uses Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing surf playstyle to apply Hydro and trigger strong Pyro->Hydro vaporize damage from off-field Pyro application.
Provides shields, Geo resonance utility, and healing/RES shred from Xilonen.

Mualani

Main DPS

Hydro

Mualani uses her skill to enter the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, enabling the enhanced Normal Attack 'Sharky Bite'. While in this state she mounts a surfboard; contacting enemies grants 'Wave Momentum' stacks and marks them. At 3 stacks, hitting with Sharky Bite fires 'Shark Missiles' at all marked enemies.

#2 Mualani Vaporize SS — Xilonen Geo Heal/Res Shred + Sucrose & Xiangling

Tier SS

Core idea: Mualani is the on-field Hydro Main DPS applying powerful Vaporize windows via her Nightsoul’s Blessing. Xilonen provides Geo-based resistance shred and team healing, Sucrose supplies EM/Anemo shred and C4 utility to speed skill uptime, and Xiangling offers off-field Pyro application for consistent Vaporize procs.
Notes: prioritize Mualani's surfing playstyle and stack HP/EM and Hydro DMG as described; keep Xilonen for sampler uptime and heals; Sucrose amplifies elemental shred (Viridescent) and C4 shortens skill cooldowns; Xiangling's Burst adds sustained Pyro application while off-field.

Mualani

Main DPS

Hydro

Mualani uses her Elemental Skill to enter Nightsoul’s Blessing, enhancing her Normal Attacks into Sharky Bite. Contact with enemies grants Wave Momentum stacks and marks; at 3 stacks she fires Shark Missiles when Sharky Bite hits marked enemies. Playstyle focuses on mounting and hitting multiple targets to trigger missiles and maintain Vaporize uptime.

Best for players who want a reactive, buff-stack playstyle centered on Mualani's Sharky Bite / Shark Missiles interactions.

#5 Mualani Permafrost Freeze Team

Tier SS

Permafrost-focused team with Mualani as the main Hydro DPS. Uses Cryo application from Skirk to enable frequent Freeze/Permafrost interactions, Escoffier as off-field healer/support and resistance shred, and Furina for off-field Hydro application and team DMG amplification. Synergizes Hydro→Cryo conversions and sustained Hydro uptime for Mualani's Nightsoul mechanics.
Recommended when you want reliable crowd control and consistent Hydro application for Mualani's Sharky Bite & Shark Missiles.

Mualani

Main DPS

Hydro

Mualani is the primary on-field DPS. She uses her Skill to enter Nightsoul’s Blessing, enhancing her Normal Attack into 'Sharky Bite', mounting a surfboard and generating Wave Momentum stacks that fire Shark Missiles at marked enemies when stacks reach 3. Build to maximize HP%/Hydro DMG for stronger Sharky Bite and Hydro-scaling effects.

Skirk

Sub DPS

Cryo

Skirk provides Cryo application and strong single-target/area Cryo damage. Her Burst consumes Serpent’s Subtlety rather than Energy and is stronger when Serpent’s Subtlety > 50. She can enter Seven-Phase Flash mode to infuse Normal Attacks with Cryo and increase damage; her enhanced Burst further boosts Normal Attack damage and absorbs nearby Void Rifts to fuel Serpent’s Subtlety. Use her to generate Cryo for Freeze/Permafrost interactions and to boost on-field damage windows.
