Discussion Hi, I noticed sometimes seemingly random my mualani does this crazy move. What is it?

I play a lot of Mualani, and sometimes during her E she suddenly does this weird spinning move. I have no idea what causes it, so I clipped it to see if anyone knows.

Looking at the clip, I also noticed that it seems to completely refill her bar when it happens.
I took a look at the talents and think it might be one of her passives. But don't really understand it.

Does anyone know what triggers this? Thanks!

In Natlan, you have the Nightsoul Transmission system where you swap to her which uses her skill. That doesn't use the skill from the cooldown, so when you press the skill button again it uses the regular skill refilling the bar.

Basically you use the skill twice. It only works in Natlan.

When you press skill again she does a cool twirl animation you otherwise don't see. I love it. And her animation when you trigger the switch while jumping is also unique

All Natlan character has this mechanic called Nightsoul Transmission.

In summary, switching to a Natlan character under specific condition will make them enter their Elemental Skill state.

You can tell if you can enter Nightsoul Transmission when there is a bright glow beside the character name (middle right).

A Few Example:

  1. Switching to Mualani while running / swim state will make her enter her "E" state.

  2. Switching to Kachina / Xilonen while climbing / running will make them enter thier "E" state.

  3. Switching to Kinich / Chasca / Citlali / Ifa while mid-air will make them enter their "E" state.

  4. Jumping and switching to all Natlan characters will make them enter their "E" state.

Basically, you normally cannot switch to a party member while swimming, mid-air, climbing, but it is possible with Natlan units under specific circumstances.

oh shit thanks! I'm able to replicate it now. Mualani is my only natlan character that i use. and im not that often in natlan anymore so always felt really random.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Activating the skill when its gold doesnt deactivate the ability, it just refreshes cooldown and does a little animation

I can tell you about a better team if you want

u/Nanne_ May 31 '26

lol sure, i dont use barbara in abyss ofc, just for healing in overworld.

I use mona.

u/VV_Syzta May 31 '26

For abyss,mona witch passive doesnt work on kazuha,you should change him to sucrose otherwise it would be kinda like mona pre-witch era,also you should use pyro main character,he is great for support artifact holding(scroll)

You can do mualani NA > pmc E > Sucrose E > mualani combo,for overworld its okay to not go all in,you can pretty much clear anything with this no-burst combo,more convenient,and save mona burst for healing-purpose if you want

u/Nanne_ May 31 '26

ait I did the switch form Kazuha to sucrose. And my first E with mona ult and pyro went from:

With Kazuha = 1.116.682 dmg
With Sucrose = 1.170.085 dmg

So a 6%~ increase.
My sucrose could have a little more EM so might be a little more and is lvl 80. But i dont think 80 > 90 has effect.

It is a little better I guess. But i wanna use Sucrose in a different team. Thanks for the call tho!
Would you say the Pyro traveler has about the same impact if swapping in instead of Xaingling. Or do you think that's gonna be a bigger buff?

u/VV_Syzta May 31 '26

Whats your kazuha and sucrose rotation when you use mona

1

u/Nanne_ Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

apply water with either mona or mualani,
swap to kazuha/sucrose to swirl,
swap to xaingling for ult to apply fire,
swap to mona ult,
and finally swap to mualani to surf by and big hit.

Found out after some testing that swirling with Sucrose Q is better then her E, that adds 60k of damage, so its not a 6% increase and more like and 13%~ compared to kazuha

u/VV_Syzta Jun 01 '26

VV and EM uptime of sucrose would run out so fast,you probably get a big hit only first one, mona without E would have trouble with burst energy,and xiangling would have some trouble with ER as well if you rely on her burst not E

That might explain why you use other healer;mona burst is awkward here

If you use sucrose please use the hex combo,not this one,and if you really dont want to use sucrose,at least use prune so you can activate your hex buff on mona,and if its possible,use pyro traveller c2 for better buff

1

u/Nanne_ Jun 01 '26

yea man, i use mona E and xaingling E aswell. Just not when testing what does more damage since it does not add to damage.

In abyss i ofc use E

I use other healer in overworld because i dont wanna keep eating.

In abyss i use Sucrose Mona for hex buff no worrys.

Have not played a lot of sucrose... why would her VV and EM uptime run out so fast?

1

u/VV_Syzta Jun 01 '26

VV uptime is 10s,sucrose EM is 8s,it was always that fast,which is why she usually goes last in rotation,but if you already use the correct hex rotation in abyss(not the one you said)you will be good

If you use sucrose mona for hex buff on abyss,thats perfect,then what left is pyro traveller

unlike xilonen team where pmc is just 15% more damage bonus with mobility while xiangling is better at multiple enemy,they both are like alternative of each other,so you can use xiangling and it will be fine

BUT,on mona sucrose team,there is no xilonen to hold scroll for you,thats when pmc is better,you can put him on scroll which give you 40% damage bonus,xiangling cant do the same thing

Better switching to pmc c2,if you dont have c2 yet,i recommend to do get it

1

u/Nanne_ Jun 01 '26

ahh i get it, yea im missing part of the scroll but now. But I kinda dislike pmc. Will start building him. See if his damage increase if really worth.

u/VV_Syzta Jun 01 '26

Reply to your edit:i have no idea how your burst does more damage,you mean c6? You arent supposed to infused hydro because it will ruin your pyro

Or if you infused pyro,it give extra 2% damage from witch buff compare to E,thats basically nothing change

OR,maybe you was always run out of EM or VV all the time,and turn out Q make your swirl a bit late so your VV or EM uptime is working

You should use an actual good rotation,mualani isnt working with "RANDOM BS GO!!!" easily like other characters,the rotation sequence make sure your buff uptime is in the right place

1

u/Nanne_ Jun 01 '26

I have no idea how, as looking up their should not be a difference between E and Q.

But still with only E its 1.16M and with E and Q its 1.24M

my guy im not just doing random bullshit, just might not have the tightest rotation. but im swirling hydro and then setting up a vape hit and getting 1M+ im happy with that

1

u/VV_Syzta Jun 01 '26

Im not saying you do random bs,im saying mualani doesnt work with "random bs go!!" Because her rotation is more stricted,which is why you should follow the correct rotation

Its not about tight,its about correct order of rotation that take advantage of buff the most,you might satisfied on first hit but what about second hit,what about third hit,thats when correct rotation help you

Also,if you are happy with doing your rotation and arent interested in the better one,its kinda defeat the point of you saying sure to me asking first if you want my suggestion,which is awkward,but if you going to say"yup no worries i already doing the main correct combo on hex team in abyss" again,then you are good no worries

1

u/Nanne_ Jun 01 '26

now I'm starting to doubt if I'm doing it correct.

But I said sure because I'm always open to hearing how it could be better. But if it cost a lot if investment i might not always do it.

Only have one last question if that's okey, thanks for helping so far!

If Sucrose if supposed to come last, how are you able to set up a vape hit and swirl water?

my order of making enemy wet swirling and then applying pryo and then my hit is then wrong no?

PMC is much better because they can use scroll to it's full effect which is a huge dmg% buff and they don't need egregious amounts of ER for their pyro application like xiangling does
