@@jsx320 i mean that's what i say to most of the new dps that comes out. There's nothing wrong with that statement, game isn't that hard anyway so we can just pull for who we want
One thing to note about a day 1/cope weapons is that we should be getting the Ring of Yaxche for free from a web event that comes out this Thursday, so while you may need to farm mats to level it up, at least you wont have to buy the recipe or transmute any billets.

would be great! but i do expect it to be like those long time-gated events where you have to gain stamina by completing missions every day. The reward is unusually good, they'll want to waste our time for it lol
i feel like Mualani is a future impact character, she'll be at her full potential once her teammates drop i also find it funny how Mualani and Emilie releasing back-to-back means we have just gotten two back-to-back future impact limited 5* characters
Same for Kinich. So many characters waiting for a new, better off-field Pyro character lol. I just hope that that character is actually really good and not an above-average Pyro Traveler.
@@GGABueno i really hope they are doing the HSR strat of giving us above average free units and we get a Pyro traveler that's great at off field application (ideally from skill, not burst)
tho i called that bullshit, while their reason is story, but i dunno man, they actually maybe need time to cook Traveler Kit. i kinda have expectation but not that high. especially Traveler should have night soul mechanic in somewhat way.
Fun fact: phlogiston was considered in the 1600-1700 some sort of spirit inside things that made them flammable. If it contained phlogiston, it would burn, if it didn't, it would be fireproof. It was disproved when it was discovered that things require some kind of gas to burn, and that gas was in fact oxygen
The logic of Phlogiston was the exact inverse of Oxygen. While burned material gains oxygen as it becomes oxidized, therefore gaining mass, in the Phlogiston theory, it loses Phlogiston to the air. Basically, whenever you consider what oxygen does in the fire, Phlogiston is the time-reversed version of it, so much that if it existed, ti would need to have negative mass.
I like the idea of the Night artifacts + Sac Jade. Only focusing on EM, HP, CD and ER as substats is new and potentially interesting as "mid" artifacts might then be really good.
this ! I don't see enough people talking about how since sumeru + fontaine, the combinaison of more accessible CV through set bonuses/external sources and return to more emphasis on raw stats (EM for Dendro, HP for most Fontaine units, ATK for Arle and Navia, etc.) has made the artifact selection process progressively more interesting and (in my opinion) intuitive/satisfying
She love vape that is true, but what makes the difference is the synergy with Bennett. Looking at National teams where Xingqiu and Childe can vape with ease cause they can work with Bennett, and whoever works with Bennett, he can also brings out the most with Xiangling. Mualani's case, she can't work with Bennett, means she needs to work around Xiangling's problems. Mavuika will be Mualani's the best partner that is for sure.
@@Matthew-qt3jkit’s widely considered that neuvillette, Arlecchino and alhaitham are the best dpses in the game, Mualani isn’t better than any of them at a baseline level currently
You said you expect her reception to be like clorinde but she is very different from clorinde with the fact that most of her team dmg contribution is by herself and characters with high personal dmg tend to get good reception. Also very different from clorinde as well as from neuvilette is that they are consistent dps units with high hit frequency while she is more of a nuke character with less hit frequency (comparable to gaming as tgs said).
Its funny how all you ppl here think that the character’s value is via dmg per screenshot when in reality she will be pulled more simply for exploration qol lmao

Tbh her not being on neuvillette’s level, much less power creeping him, is a good thing. She still has outrageous numbers, but I don’t think they should ever powercreep Neuvillette unless it’s an equally important character in lore, like dainsleif or another sovereign, and even then, it should not be by much if at all. The reason for that is that current content is balanced around Neuvillette. So if let’s say abyss is balanced around a Capitano that theoretically outdpses Neuvillette, Neuvillette would probably still have a relatively decent clear time, but people who own neither would no longer be able to consistently 12 star the abyss. 4.7 and 4.8 were already horrible enough for people who didn’t have him and Furina. I would dread to imagine what 5.7 would look like for a Eula main.
You can just scratch all that - lore and gameplay have no correlation - that's it, it's not that fucking deep. A character shouldn't be an archon or a sovereign to be good - canonical Hu Tao doesn't even know how to fight, and yet she's one of the best on-fielders in the game. Gaming is a fucking delivery boy, and yet his damage is no different or even higher than that of a 2000-year-old Guardian Yaksha. Can we please stop bringing up lore that is completely fucking irrelevant in the actual gameplay to the meta discussions?
ua-cam.com/video/lmb7P-GP-No/v-deo.htmlsi=FbULcd_A6um2bOOC "balanced around Neuvillete" is so far from the truth, the vid here is a 4 star clear (other than DMC but basically honorary 4 star because they're free and still reaches the time requirement.
I like the idea of using Mualani, Dehya, Emilie, Nahida. But there’s no healer on this team. That’s a tough ask for people who take a lot of damage 41:17
Ah Emilie significant reduce burning DMG. Maybe maulani can use prototype amber to heal or Nahida can use prototype amber or much better use TTDS to buff Maulani (ATK + EM)
@@shatteredspace4495 32% DMG to normal attacks barely does anything for Kokomi, unfortunately. So flat DMG from the event weapon just ends up dealing more damage, especially in AoE.
Thanks for the video, Zajef. 👍 Not sure whether to go for her or Kinich, honestly. I guess it'll come down to her personality and story. I just grabbed Emilie too, so I'm a little low on primos. As far as future characters are concerned, I'm definitely pulling Xilonen and Mavuika. I keep hearing that Xilonen is going to work well with Mualani, but who knows if that's accurate or not...
My friend who R5'd a sacrificial jade for his Neuvillette then got TotEF on his rerun is probably the one person in this world happy to hear how good* it is on Mualani 😂
Well, I'm about to get C2 Dehya with the free 5*, so Imma probably go with Mualani, Dehya, Nahida and Emilie (last slot is negotiable). Maybe give Nahida Proto Amber and build Dehya full HP so that she can absorb a good chunk of damage and get more effective healing from the Proto Amber
I hear all the talk about overcapping Crit Rate and can only think of "Childe never crits" memes. I feel like Crit Rate being almost at cap is good for her, because she doesn't have a lot of hits and so consistency to make them feel powerful is very much appreciated. Obviously this limits her weapon choices, but at least she will feel pretty good at base without Crit Rate weapon. All I'm saying is this feels deliberate design consideration.
to me crit rate as an ascension stat is a good thing the reason being its a major stat that is locked either through RNG via sub stat or money if you look at it crit rate is only available in 5 star weapons and battle pass weapon we haven't gotten a free 4 start or craftable with a crit rate 2ndary stat its either Atk% HP% ER% never crit rate the only crit weapon we have that is not a 5 star or a battle pass weapon is harbinger of dawn, sling shot, white tassel and twin nephrite all being 3 stars having crit rate as ascension allows character building similar to a whale seeing as they have access to crit easy they can pump up crit damage and other offensive stat without worry
Wait, so Dehya's not bad? Consider me new to the game again (returning after 3yrs) & with the newly announced 5-star selector... My choice between Mona or Dehya keeps getting tossed in the air. I know I want Mualani, but i was also told Yelan would be a better partner for her. Now I'm being told Mona is great, but Dehya is better?
As weird as it feels to say, I would recommend Dehya Partially because if you pick her, but then happen to get her again in lost 50/50s, you get cons that are pretty decent upgrades, while Mona's cons outside of C1 are pretty useless
Mualani's highest sheeting teams are all with Mona, especially if you have Mona's C1. Meanwhile, the only benefit Dehya provides is some cope interruption resistance and equally cope off-field pyro. You probably know how it goes if you want improvements on the team - you find the weakest link and replace it - and the most obvious candidate to be replaced the very second Mavuika drops is Dehya. Mona might end up being worse than Furina if Mavuika's pyro application ends up being insane, but even if she does, she'll probably still be a decent option that will allow you to use Furina on the other side. But what is certain is that Dehya isn't going to stick around.
Dehya has a couple of decent teams now and is actually more relevant than Mona (not that Mona is bad). If you want to do forward vape with Mualani then go with Dehya. For mono-hydro I'd still not bother with Mona though and just wait for a Furina rerun or Yelan. As for the other standard 5*s in general, Tighnari, Keqing and Diluc are all pretty solid but rely on some specific teams that include limited 5*s. Jean is a fine option for Furina teams but there are plenty of other healers that work. Qiqi is still Qiqi but isn't nearly as bad as she was 3 years ago (there are teams she works in but is largely replaceable). Still, at the end of the day there is very little challenging content in Genshin and you can make most characters work well when you put them in teams that make sense and build them.
I'm totally into her gameplay and team comps, looks very interesting to handle. I do expect, for what has been leaked, Xilonen and Mavuika are going to be very strong teammates for her, and I'm planning to get both too. Can't wait to play her. I've Nahida and Xinyan ready, and Kachina will be the filler, just because she is new and want to try her out.
Depending on if you consider atk speed a stat, that has a hard cap too as I happened to find out yesterday (160% apparently). So yeah, CRIT rate is one of the only stats but not the only. I wonder if there are any more?
he mentions baizhus weapon but desnt mention kokomis weapon (which I feel is a slightly better stat stick than baizhus weapon cause at least it gives NA atk dmg)
Thanks for the video! I really haven't kept track of the last betas. Sucks that all her main teams mentioned have a character or two I don't care about, I guess I will have to throw random bullshit between the ones you mention lol. I hope Natlan sells me on the rest of chars because Mualani and Citlali are about all I want design-wise, my pulls keep rotting since Navia's release...
I've got a conundrum. Should I go Dehya C2 or Mona C1 for Mualani (or as an overall account buff). Dehya C2 increases the E duration but with Sac Greatsword you can have high uptime of skill and also her interruption resistance that C2 doesn't extend. With that said is C2 Dehya still viable? I don't play Mona much and idk which team would benefit much from Mona C1 other than Mualani. I think in freeze teams Mona C1 doesn't do much (And Furina exists).
sh-she's a catalyst?.. I thought she was a sword user... why did they make another hydro main dps catalyst wtf. I thought I would finally have a character that could utilize jade cutter to its highest potential
I just done understand if her best artifact is because it gives her crit rate but jade and her passive already give you a high amount. Why not go offset or hydro artifact for more dmg
I guess I have a reason to use my second thousand floating dreams now since this weapon can stack there effects so its going to be Mualani + Nahida for me day one.
I play to run Mualani Dehya Nahida and Emilie but with my Nahida already on Deepwood what do you think would be the best artifact set for Dehya? (Also do I need sacrificial on her if she’s c0?)
@@leonthomas2020 Thank you! I was also considering switching my Nahida to Gilded and running Deepwood on Dehya but I will definitely be considering this!!!
I see the crit rate ascension as a good thing because it means you dont need a single crit rate substat when youre using sacrificial jade, all those rolls can go to HP crit damage or EM
I don't have Nahida in the Emilie team. What would be a good replacement? Another Pyro like XL or Bennett? Another Dendro like Yaoyao? A Hydro like Furina?

So if let’s say abyss is balanced around a Capitano that theoretically outdpses Neuvillette, Neuvillette would probably still have a relatively decent clear time, but people who own neither would no longer be able to consistently 12 star the abyss. 4.7 and 4.8 were already horrible enough for people who didn’t have him and Furina. I would dread to imagine what 5.7 would look like for a Eula main.
You can just scratch all that - lore and gameplay have no correlation - that's it, it's not that fucking deep. A character shouldn't be an archon or a sovereign to be good - canonical Hu Tao doesn't even know how to fight, and yet she's one of the best on-fielders in the game. Gaming is a fucking delivery boy, and yet his damage is no different or even higher than that of a 2000-year-old Guardian Yaksha. Can we please stop bringing up lore that is completely fucking irrelevant in the actual gameplay to the meta discussions?

"balanced around Neuvillete" is so far from the truth, the vid here is a 4 star clear (other than DMC but basically honorary 4 star because they're free and still reaches the time requirement.
@@vladdyru blud really sneaked that hu tao being one of the best on fielders
@@vladdyrulore only comes into play when they want an excuse to justify their favourite unit being the best.
I hope we get a character who wants to stack crit rate and who can get multiplicative double crits if their CR is over 100%
16:41 forgot about Sethos already
very cool video 😎
tbh i think she is essentially a hydro hu tao. pigeonholed into a specific reaction type due to the design of their kit.
can't wait people to edit her out of subway surfers
That Ring of Yaxche is gonna be my new DPS Kokomi weapon.
17:29 ah yes the upcoming Fontaine craftable, "Ring of Yaxche", Fontaine's getting re-released I suppose.
My boy Zajeff
Stay proud Mualani ,you are strong
"the weapon section will be pretty short" famous last words
I like the idea of using Mualani, Dehya, Emilie, Nahida. But there’s no healer on this team. That’s a tough ask for people who take a lot of damage 41:17
You can run nahida on prototype amber ig
prototype amber nahida can usually be enough healing if you combine with dehya
Ah Emilie significant reduce burning DMG.
Maybe maulani can use prototype amber to heal or Nahida can use prototype amber or much better use TTDS to buff Maulani (ATK + EM)
Mualani's dmg doesn't scale of atk but Emilie's does so you could use ttds for her
Dehya was some decent dodging skills should be enough for most runs
another zajef seventy seven banger
Im excited to try the Emilie Nahida Dehya team. Such a unique cast combo and finally a way for me to use Dehya that I might like.
That craftable catalyst… I wonder if it’s better for Kokomi in terms of her personal damage?
sacfrags and nilou lol
No, the new event weapon is better for her.
@@ambatubuh Is it? I feel like one instance of damage might not be as much as all her normals being buffed.
@@sol_pregnantguy lol, obviously not what I meant
@@shatteredspace4495 32% DMG to normal attacks barely does anything for Kokomi, unfortunately. So flat DMG from the event weapon just ends up dealing more damage, especially in AoE.
when will bro get a better mic 🥲
Oh huh, unexpected yet welcome!
Thanks for the video, Zajef. 👍
Not sure whether to go for her or Kinich, honestly. I guess it'll come down to her personality and story. I just grabbed Emilie too, so I'm a little low on primos. As far as future characters are concerned, I'm definitely pulling Xilonen and Mavuika. I keep hearing that Xilonen is going to work well with Mualani, but who knows if that's accurate or not...
Xilonen as we know her rn is going to work well with every character that isn't Anemo
If you have Emilie I guess Kinich would be most logical
@@lynn9265 Thanks
My friend who R5'd a sacrificial jade for his Neuvillette then got TotEF on his rerun is probably the one person in this world happy to hear how good* it is on Mualani 😂
like for the zajef cat girl cosplay
Everybody talking about the 3rd Hydro Catalyst user, yet nobody remembers how we've had 3 female, Cryo, BOW users since 1.3 (Aloy, Diona, Ganyu)
Well, I'm about to get C2 Dehya with the free 5*, so Imma probably go with Mualani, Dehya, Nahida and Emilie (last slot is negotiable). Maybe give Nahida Proto Amber and build Dehya full HP so that she can absorb a good chunk of damage and get more effective healing from the Proto Amber
I hear all the talk about overcapping Crit Rate and can only think of "Childe never crits" memes. I feel like Crit Rate being almost at cap is good for her, because she doesn't have a lot of hits and so consistency to make them feel powerful is very much appreciated. Obviously this limits her weapon choices, but at least she will feel pretty good at base without Crit Rate weapon. All I'm saying is this feels deliberate design consideration.
I'll probably skip the vape teams for now. That sounds like a huge hassle. More than likely, I'll just use furina kachina xianyun.
to me crit rate as an ascension stat is a good thing the reason being its a major stat that is locked either through RNG via sub stat or money
if you look at it crit rate is only available in 5 star weapons and battle pass weapon
we haven't gotten a free 4 start or craftable with a crit rate 2ndary stat its either Atk% HP% ER% never crit rate
the only crit weapon we have that is not a 5 star or a battle pass weapon is harbinger of dawn, sling shot, white tassel and twin nephrite all being 3 stars
having crit rate as ascension allows character building similar to a whale seeing as they have access to crit easy they can pump up crit damage and other offensive stat without worry
Wait, so Dehya's not bad? Consider me new to the game again (returning after 3yrs) & with the newly announced 5-star selector... My choice between Mona or Dehya keeps getting tossed in the air. I know I want Mualani, but i was also told Yelan would be a better partner for her. Now I'm being told Mona is great, but Dehya is better?
As weird as it feels to say, I would recommend Dehya
Partially because if you pick her, but then happen to get her again in lost 50/50s, you get cons that are pretty decent upgrades, while Mona's cons outside of C1 are pretty useless
Pull for her loss to Mona and choose dehya
Mualani's highest sheeting teams are all with Mona, especially if you have Mona's C1. Meanwhile, the only benefit Dehya provides is some cope interruption resistance and equally cope off-field pyro. You probably know how it goes if you want improvements on the team - you find the weakest link and replace it - and the most obvious candidate to be replaced the very second Mavuika drops is Dehya. Mona might end up being worse than Furina if Mavuika's pyro application ends up being insane, but even if she does, she'll probably still be a decent option that will allow you to use Furina on the other side. But what is certain is that Dehya isn't going to stick around.
Pull for her first and see who would you get. If you happen to get one of them, you can choose the other one, if not then maybe Mona
Dehya has a couple of decent teams now and is actually more relevant than Mona (not that Mona is bad). If you want to do forward vape with Mualani then go with Dehya. For mono-hydro I'd still not bother with Mona though and just wait for a Furina rerun or Yelan.
As for the other standard 5*s in general, Tighnari, Keqing and Diluc are all pretty solid but rely on some specific teams that include limited 5*s. Jean is a fine option for Furina teams but there are plenty of other healers that work. Qiqi is still Qiqi but isn't nearly as bad as she was 3 years ago (there are teams she works in but is largely replaceable).
Still, at the end of the day there is very little challenging content in Genshin and you can make most characters work well when you put them in teams that make sense and build them.
I'm totally into her gameplay and team comps, looks very interesting to handle.
I do expect, for what has been leaked, Xilonen and Mavuika are going to be very strong teammates for her, and I'm planning to get both too.
Can't wait to play her. I've Nahida and Xinyan ready, and Kachina will be the filler, just because she is new and want to try her out.
Unless they do pyro-centric abyss in both half, I don't see why I'd need both her and Neuvillette
I love the size difference from the others to Xiangling.
Depending on if you consider atk speed a stat, that has a hard cap too as I happened to find out yesterday (160% apparently). So yeah, CRIT rate is one of the only stats but not the only. I wonder if there are any more?
Mualani is gonna be crazy with my C2 kazuha im gonna nuke everything LETSGO finally a character that full uses it
he mentions baizhus weapon but desnt mention kokomis weapon (which I feel is a slightly better stat stick than baizhus weapon cause at least it gives NA atk dmg)
Why am i watching this when I know the answer will be mualani national?
Thanks for the video! I really haven't kept track of the last betas.
Sucks that all her main teams mentioned have a character or two I don't care about, I guess I will have to throw random bullshit between the ones you mention lol. I hope Natlan sells me on the rest of chars because Mualani and Citlali are about all I want design-wise, my pulls keep rotting since Navia's release...
Guys 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
woah..wrong channel
😂🎉
I love her shark board lol
I've got a conundrum. Should I go Dehya C2 or Mona C1 for Mualani (or as an overall account buff).
Dehya C2 increases the E duration but with Sac Greatsword you can have high uptime of skill and also her interruption resistance that C2 doesn't extend. With that said is C2 Dehya still viable? I don't play Mona much and idk which team would benefit much from Mona C1 other than Mualani. I think in freeze teams Mona C1 doesn't do much (And Furina exists).
Wouldnt sigewinne actually work as a comfort pick just because she has no hydro application almost
we playing subway surfer's with this one
Thoughts on TTDS? Seems like a fine statstick, and probably good in a team with Emilie for example
She's very much a hypercarry type character, supporting Emilie while losing a lot of her damage isn't really worth it
@@idonotknow2652 isn't she an hp scaler though? it's not like she cares about the low base atk
@@idonotknow2652 I'm curious how much damage she'd actually lose? I guess it depends on how strong the new craftable's passive is
@@leka2095
She doesn't care about the base atk, but by not using the Natlan Craftable you're missing out on 6% hp and up to 32% NA dmg
@@sarahboes6829
I'm not a calc person this was mostly off vibes tbh, but 6% more HP and 16 to 32% NA damage seems pretty huge
Is he gonna address or redo that awful Emilie showcase?
Nope
Zero point of doing it.
She's mid,get over it
@@llaflikstill was an awful showcase for zaj
@@llaflik They said she seems to be a good support on kinich teams.
Curse of xiangling

sh-she's a catalyst?.. I thought she was a sword user... why did they make another hydro main dps catalyst wtf. I thought I would finally have a character that could utilize jade cutter to its highest potential
I just done understand if her best artifact is because it gives her crit rate but jade and her passive already give you a high amount. Why not go offset or hydro artifact for more dmg
I guess I have a reason to use my second thousand floating dreams now since this weapon can stack there effects so its going to be Mualani + Nahida for me day one.
19:07 literally a W-Engine from ZZZ 😂
Dmn, i just discover Xinyan have a clean of element with her shield
her movement is fun so ill probably get her and ill collect her teammates in the future
I play to run Mualani Dehya Nahida and Emilie but with my Nahida already on Deepwood what do you think would be the best artifact set for Dehya? (Also do I need sacrificial on her if she’s c0?)
instructor dehya, use sac great sword
@@leonthomas2020 Thank you! I was also considering switching my Nahida to Gilded and running Deepwood on Dehya but I will definitely be considering this!!!
20 minutes in i just notice that this shark girl is actually 5* lmao, what a disappointment
I see the crit rate ascension as a good thing because it means you dont need a single crit rate substat when youre using sacrificial jade, all those rolls can go to HP crit damage or EM
good luck not getting a single crit rate roll
@@rascal8097 its not that hard if you dont have crit rate substat at all.. Are you saying there cant be an em hp% cd er piece??
@rascal8097 have you played this game man 90% of the artis got no crit rate lmao
Mualani's best team might just be Nahida Dehya Xilonen if the leaks are true
Cause Xilonen at c2 buffs Hp like crazy 💀
Just lvl jade to 60 🥱
zajef reminds me of zywoo, they have a lot in common
I don't have Nahida in the Emilie team. What would be a good replacement? Another Pyro like XL or Bennett? Another Dendro like Yaoyao? A Hydro like Furina?
probably another dendro - emilie's dendro output is really slow, but then again maybe that works for the rest of the team you have?
I keep on hearing 'nightsoul' as 'night soil', which is gross.
Which means Mualani works in Emilie since VV set up isn't good for her.
Oh my Dehya have finally rising for grave
