Best weapon for Mualani, calculated
Vivid Notions tops the weapon calc for Mualani at 11,730 average damage on Normal Attack combo. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each catalyst equipped on a Lv90 Mualani at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Mualani calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Mualani build questions, answered
What does Mualani scale off?
Mualani's Normal Attack combo scales off Max HP, not ATK. HP% raises every number on this page; ATK% raises none of them.
What stat does Mualani get from ascension?
Mualani's ascension substat is CRIT Rate. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Mualani?
Ranked by computed Normal Attack combo damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Vivid Notions is the strongest catalyst for Mualani at 11,730 average damage per hit. The Surf's Up used by this page's preset panel averages 10,020, 14.6% behind it.
What artifacts should Mualani use?
Obsidian Codex (4) is the set this calculator presets Mualani with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Mualani do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Mualani's largest single hit averages 89,002 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Mualani's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Mualani still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
