Talents & Constellations

Talent Priority

For most Mualani builds, prioritize talents in this order:

1. Elemental Skill – Primary damage source for most rotations
2. Elemental Burst – High damage potential with proper energy management
3. Normal Attack – Level last unless playing as main on-field DPS

Constellation Overview

C0 (Base) – Mualani is perfectly viable at C0 with proper investment in artifacts and weapons.

C1 – First constellation typically improves energy generation or damage output.

C2 – Often provides significant damage increases or new mechanics.

C4 – Usually offers team-wide buffs or personal damage boosts.

C6 – Maximum constellation unlock; dramatically changes playstyle or damage ceiling.

Note: Mualani is strong at C0. Constellations are nice but not necessary for clearing all content.
