The 5.1 Genshin Impact META (Usage Rates Full Analysis)

[@LaurentiuMitroi]

Mualani absolutely slaps when you have to deal with enemies that do not move to much but when you have bastards that keep jumping around and running from you she's a bit hard to use. She will be back when the abyss will be more favorable for her.

[@aaron-gz]

I knew I could win with her but that scorpion was annoying with its rush attack and the bird when it flew up. Good thing Mualani can sometimes pursue during the bite. Had to keep experimenting with Nahida, Kazuha, Yelan, or Zhongli. Go full glass cannon or resist interruption(+petrified to settle them down)? I was so frustrated I forgot which team actually worked. It was probably Yelan, Xiangling, Xilonen.

It feels like mualani will end up in a similar place to Lyney incredible DPS on paper and in speed runs, but inconsistent or annoying to play. I feel like ranking her above Arlecchino doesn’t make sense based on the reasons you still have Nevilette at the top of the list, ie on sheet dps mattering less than comfort, ease of use, consistency, flexibility, etc.

[@haraldkonrad5439]

not really, the difference is that Lyney just needs such tight timings and good RNG while Mualani just appreciates enemies that dont fly or have immunity frames. Mualani's DPS is always sheeted as 3 bites and a burst, and sure, missing 1 bite does lower her DPS by a TON but you dont encounter those situations very much

[@tonya3916]

You are spot on. Mualani is so annoying to play.

[@legendnbg97]

Mualani has low usage rate for the same reason zhongli has high usage rate, and that's because a lot of people have skill issues and can't play non-braindead characters. Mualani has the fastest clear times in abyss on all investment levels, she is just harder to use than other on fielders.

ranking Mualani above Arlecchino was a mistake and I am happy you adjusted that. Saying that a unit can speedrun fastest with cracked artifacts does not prove that the character functions better, you need to look at what the character offers on a base level not the ceiling.

i think Zhongli really deserves S tier at this point solely because the man has been in the top 70% usage rates of abyss for like 5 years now he doesnt fit the typical definition of broken but when it comes to sheer pull value what more can you ask for than the king of anti-aging doesnt even need a weapon or constellations he just works

[@nobody-xh6ii]

Zhongli has been dropping for a while because he's not needed or wanted. With corrosion and BOL he's useless and other shielders like layla and thoma provide more than just "res shread" and a big beefy shield. They also don't take 7 seconds for an ult to finish nor do they make flimsy pillars that also get in the way when you don't want them to nor stay when you need them to [I got rid of c2 Zhongli from Navia's team for chiori for this big reason] Honestly at this point he's only good for people who lack the ability to dodge

I would say mualani got a bit of that good ol' eula backlash (missing crits), because you actually lose SO much of your dmg by doing your rotations slightly wrong (missing vapes and/or crits) coupled with the fact using xl bennettless is a complete ER nightmare and the usage rates suddenly makes sense to me. A fun fact from the speedruning side of things The fastest recorded run of the topside of this spiral abyss, at the time of writting, is surprisingly not a Mualani vape team (which some players got 14s), but it is instead a Neuvillete Childe Xilonen Chiori team with 13s.

4:58 Mualani is definitely a lot more annoying than Kinich to play. Seems super fun for overworld, but missing the set up seems to be more punishing than it is for other top DPSs because she's so reliant on that nuke damage. Neuvi's more consistent, a lot of people got C1 on his rerun, and he also has self-sustain capabilities that Mualani doesn't have which is an added comfort. This Abyss also is really not catered to her as it is to geo.

@@caprichaos Yeah! I think there's annoying clunky things for him too bc sometimes it might not track the enemy if they haven't fully spawned at first (like Magu Kenki before he finishes his startup animation), but once he's locked in he's locked in and usually you don't lose track of your enemy.

[@kylet1415]

What do you mean by crit fishing? It is actually the opposite, overcapping crit rate is one of her issue because she is one of the easiest character to get 100% crit rate. And her bite missing is fixed, I haven’t miss a single bite since 5.1.

[@kazukinoburu]

@@kylet1415 first not everyone have a godly artifacts and weapon so its not that easy to overcap, and second even if you reach 80-90% CR its still have a chance to not crit, and because her damage is single nuke the dps lost are massive compares to consistent DPS who have many hits and like i said even if it's crit but the pyro aura aren't there and it's not vape her damage fall-off, unlike navia for example her damage is pure geo without reliant on amplifying reaction so she cares only to crit and in her team xiangling/furina does solid damage unlike in mualani teams where xiangling only focus on ER and without bennet while furina often disturb the pyro aura so mualani will not vape all of her hits which is again massive DPS lost...

META - Most EFFECTIVE tactic available If this chart was made by polling speedrunners Mualani would likely be on top as she is the fastest. However this is chart for everyday players where most effective means "Minimum effort for maximum result" and that's Neuvillette. Regular people don't want to reset a bunch of times because of a character with janky gameplay just so they could shave a few seconds off of their clear time if both clear times are under 3 minutes. Most people don't see abyss as a challenge anymore, its just a monthly chore you do for primogems. Me, personally i do it same day it resets in less than 15 minutes, now less than 10 minutes bc they made floors 9 and 10 auto complete (thank god). Why would I, or any other regular player choose to spend an hour on that chore instead, trying to get a slightly better clear time? Not to mention the amount of extra effort you need to put into Mualani compared to Neuvillette to get the same results. Its not very EFFECTIVE if you ask me. Why do y'all keep forgetting what E in META stands for again? If it was just about speed it would be TFTA - The Fastest Tactic Available. I mean imagine you need to wash the dishes. You have a dishwasher and it will wash 'em in 10 mins for you. But every once in a while, if everything goes right, you can do it manually in 9 minutes. Would you wash your dishes manually every day because you can wash 'em faster than the machine 15% of the days, or would you just use the dishwasher?

[@yuugael4010]

DPS ceiling doesn't really matter as long as your damage is good enough, and comfort will always be the priority. You can see this with how Zhongli's usage rate never drops, especially in teams where people have Neuvilette or Arlecchino-both of them hit hard and don't need much to 36* the abyss. Honestly, I doubt Zhongli's going anywhere even next abyss he's still going to be high, especially now with people running Xilonen as a Kazuha replacement instead of a healer support. Also Mualani is low because of how she plays no matter how much dmg a character can do if the playstyle isn't that intuitive then it will go down in the usage rate.

[@hachiman205]

Hmm i wonder how will the so called second best dps will perform (no hate i just dont like when people overhype units becauss of particular abyss that favour them and as soon as those abyss are gone, behold what happens, its not just about blessing but also the enemies put in the abyss. Also most players would rather have consistency over getting that one perfect run or doing a particular speedrun under particular circumstances and then getting baited into pulling stuff)

[@eduardiuhas7880]

I mean this is the case for Mualani, cause a lot of people watch mostly whales pulling her c6r5, shes doing chambers in 3-4seconds, and they think they can do same. Before I get mualani glazers going after me, I agree shes best speedrunner, but thats doesnt result in = best dps or best character. Best character in the game is arguably Furina by a long shot, and best dps as you take a lot of metrics in consideration before you name a character best dps is arguably Neuvillete. I play all of these 3 "best dps" arlecchino,mualani,neuvillete. Neuvillete does not compete in overall speedrun, but blows both of them when it comes to kit wise and the pros he has and almost no con (interrupt resistance at c0 might be a con if you dont run a shield) and kinda thats it.

[@monoxn]

yup you're so right. CONSISTENT damage is really the most important metric imo for best dps rankings. of course any character can be the best given a situation catered to them, but a character who is great most of the time will always have better pull value than a character who is amazing only once every ten abysses.

She still lacks consistent pyro application, so Mavuika still feels necessary

[@vladys001]

As a f2p I had a really rough time getting 36 stars this time around. Team 1: Neuvi Furina Kachina Kazuha Team 2: Kinich Bennett Yao Yao Dehya I don't have any good/built geo characters (I only have Noelle, Ningguang, Goro and Yun Jin) This abyss was brutal for me to clear. Luckily I was able to buff the main DPS of each team by a pretty significant amount. I cleared Floor 12 Chamber 3 with 0 seconds to spare lol Kinich pulled through big time and Dehya was good enough for breaking that Centaur's shield just off the fact that she's a claymore user that can mitigate damage when he strikes. Overall a challenging abyss. Took me a few hours to clear but I feel accomplished

[@lordfifth4520]

12-3-2 takes too much time without a way to break shields. I would probably replace yaoyao with Ningguang with TTDS(to buff Kinich).

I think using xiangqiu/yelan instead of yao yao and using full em on dehya would have improved ur time by a mile. Kinich xingqiu Bennett dehya(full em) is a fantastic burgeon comp. Although it could be hard to apply Pyro if u have c6 xingqiu. And instead of kachina u can use someone like layla if u have her cause all enemy on first side are freezable. Or using an off field character like fischl would be very good and offer more strength than kachina cause electro charged teams are best in multi target.

[@9Misaki3]

I don't think I'm getting Mualani anytime soon even if she reruns because as a F2P beginner and a mobile player she felt kind of hard to use in fights I feel like there are lot more strong characters that are easier to use. I'm really hoping to get Zhongli and Neuvillette beceause they seem like a good investment for me (another ones would be Arlecchino and Alhaitham and maybe a new healer) and I'm little bit sad that both came at the same time so I probably have to choose one and I would really like to get Neuvillette C1 and Zhongli atleast C2 but right now I would be lucky to get even one of them at C0...

[@luchicin]

in short; as long as neuvillette exists, mualani is doomed, not even in the previous abyss which benefited her more, she was used more than the dragon hydro; perhaps mavuika will save mualani from becoming in lyney hydro, but she could also end up burying mualani if mavuika gives a Neuvillette improves, we will have to wait and see what happens

Mualani is incredibly strong but her kit is utterly inconsistent. Main reason that she just cant dodge with active skill, which is not a problem in over world, but abyss enemies attacks all time and sometimes you cant do more then 1 strike because of interruptions. She is easy for speedrunning some bosses, 3 mil hp boss in 30-40 sec is just a joke, but any aggressive enemy like beasts just doesn't let her do any damage. My mualani is already stronger then my neuvi in terms of team dps, but i still prefer neuvi for abyss, cause he is just more consistent.

Opposite for me, Mualani is fun to play because she's mechanically interesting. Playing Neuvi just makes me fall asleep with how braindead simple it is.

One note on Mualani, I bet that more people than usual pulled for her because she was the first new limited five star in 5.0, plus she's amazing in overworld. Same thing kinda happened with Lyney in 4.0, plus they both have great performance on paper but some scuff in practice. So that can inflate the ownership rate with more people than just those dedicated Mualani mains, making the usage rate look lower.

[@phoenixlau]

11:32 - Ownership rate Actually the opposite is true. Both are below the fold with relatively low ownership, with Mualani slightly below Kinich around 25% and Lyney near the bottom around 15%. The more likely scenario is that most people correctly identified the inherent scuff in their kit and skipped, but some (e.g. me) got suckered in by all the cc "zomg tier 0" glazing FOMO that we against better judgement ignored the screaming red flags and got rightfully punished for picking up a unit destined for the bench.

1:26 Geo application isn't required on the 2nd half, the enemy is not weak to Geo nor needs to have Geo applied to them. It's weak to blunt damage and most Geo attacks, whether they apply Geo or not, are blunt. You can use any Claymore DPS and it'll do the same thing.

[@shinobu1886]

No, someone like Zhongli alone clears any on field claymore. His burst take out big chunks of shields and his skill is more off field damaged to them. Other characters with geo contrasts will also be more helpful. There’s a reason he said it favours either geo or overload.

point is, zhongli will apply geo off field constantly, ppl like xilonen won't and she has to be on field, wasting time for the rest of ur teams and well ur not rlly gonna be sitting there hitting the enemy with claymore attacks unless ur navia noelle or itto (who are all geo)

[@hallyuniverse]

@@shinobu1886 It favours Geo and Overloaded... because they're both blunt. There is literally no difference between sources of blunt damage in terms of how much shield toughness they reduce, it's based on the damage of the attack. The boss's shield even has 70% Geo RES (and 70% RES to all other elements). Zhongli's Burst reduces the shield by a large amount because it does a lot of damage, not because it does Geo damage. The Geo is irrelevant in this situation, Geo characters just happen to have more access to blunt attacks.

I love using Mualani in domains and in the overworld, but the idea of accidentally wasting her nightsoul points to chase new enemies spawning across the room when I'm trying to clear in time can make her rotation wonky and for me it isn't worth resetting the clock, so I end up not using her because other teams can clear without knowing where and how the enemies are going to spawn. I'm hoping Mavuika replacing Xiangling on the teams that use her may end up solving this problem with hopefully easier and stronger off field dmg

[@chadchampion3700]

Used Raiden, Chevy, Benny, Xiangling For 2nd side. It was a breeze.

[@lazyremnant380]

This made me believe that Neuvillette is the second biggest mistake Genshin ever made after Bennett.

[@Evolutez]

I think he's bigger than Bennett. There's a difference between your numbers being lower due to a support change (which can vary depending on carry) and your onfielder just gapping every other one due to ease of use with big returns. Swapping out a Bennett for a Chevy or Thoma or whatever isn't ideal but doesn't impact your play much. Swapping out a Neuv will literally cause many, many players to be unable to complete full stars in the abyss. Every hydro carry, regardless of how brokenly strong they are (see: Mualani), will forever be compared to and have the "I already have" Neuv syndrome.

[@haku1145]

I think the main reason why Mualani is so low--clunky playstyle aside--is that forward vape teams just don't have many options for pyro application. Mualani NEEDS forward vape to perform at her best, so you're practically forced into Xiangling (or Dehya, if you have her). As a consequence--because Dehya's usage rate is generally quite low--Xiangling's usage rate puts an upper bound on Mualani's usage rate. If you're using Xiangling on a different team (i.e. National, Lyney, Kinich, Navia, etc.) and you don't have Dehya, then you're out of options for Mualani. You could: a) complicate your life with Thoma shenanigans and whatnot, or... b) use another limited DPS instead. I believe the vast majority of people would choose option b). I'm hopeful that the pyro archon and traveler can change this, but for now, I don't expect Mualani's usage rates to rise.

Real jello impacters watched the first version during its 10 seconds uptime

[@r.d.6290]

What was there?

[@mni12]

Yeah I gotta be honest, I regret getting Mualani a bit. It's on an alt account so it's not that bad, but I find her really awkward to use.

[@hotworlds]

Raiden is so iconic, so fun, so cool, she's always gonna get top usage even if she's not S++ tier and clorinde does more damage at c0. Doesn't matter.

Jello, is staff of homa still worth pulling?

[@stribijev]

Something is truly wrong. I just got 36 stars without Xilonen. Without Neuvillette. No Navia. No Chiori. Yeah, I used Furina, Zhongli and Kazuha :)

[@ABC-yj6cy]

Is that even an achievement? What are you even bragging about? This abyss like the ones before it are easy

[@latinachan4368]

Yeah mihoyo be slacking off my full 4* team can 36star this abyss tooo😂

[@ISMythix]

Well u just named 3 broken supports so yeah

[@Glassesgorilla]

I think the low Mualani usage rate might be due to low investment. If you can 1 rotate, Mualani feel absolutely amazing. However if you can’t, she is just annoying to use with XL especially.

[@nekochen]

Pulled Mualani C0R1 Used her in overworld Talked about her Skill inconsistency on Facebook, and immediately get thrashed by people Now 16% usage Am I surprised? 🤣🤣 Seriously, if enemies are far apart, she's freakin useless! ... but she's still cute tho, no regret 🤤🤤

[@princeraj.y5405]

The problem is not mualani,it is xiangling since even though I have 230 percent er see still lacks energy I do not have r5 fav lance

[@ciuuin4098]

I'm glad I didn't pull mualani. everyone talked about what big numbers she could do, but honestly I found her gameplay annoying and I had a lot of strong hydro characters that I found more fun. good decision in the end, I think

[@Schimyping]

Mualani is AWESOME! in Natlan... in the spiral abyss especially for this round her skill doesn't last long enough to catch the super mobile monsters that jump around the map. that and she doesn't have a solid pyro applicator to dash around the map with her consistently.

[@offline._archive]

i’m in that 7.8% with Lyney my best boy.

[@faerieinwonderland]

Lyney main rise!

[@mq8337]

Is he difficult to play? I’m thinking of pulling for him but I keep seeing ppl say his rotations require strict timing and whatnot. I’m not too fussed if he’s not a top tier DPS - I’m more worried abt how annoying he would be to play

[@offline._archive]

@@mq8337 He can be a bit challenging to play without shield (only in Abyss floor 12 i mean).. but he's fun everywhere else and not difficult to play. His team mates in my account are bennett, xiangling, furina, kazuha, and xilonen (you can also use deyha, zhongli, or tankfei). The rotations/ timing you mentioned might be from people who tried to speedrun or optimize his clear time maybe.

[@niinii5303]

Maulani probably will never get to be in my first round of clearing the abyss ever and I believe that’s the case for most players Because aside from her clunkiness against majority of the enemies she also need xaingling on millon something ER I really hope natlan will give us the skill off field pyro applicator we’ve been waiting for.

[@cukkyun]

i have mualani and i can't see myself using her. I literally spent all the resin and fragile resin since natlan came out to farm artifacts for her and i don't even have good flower or feather. This domain is absolutely cursed. It doesn't help that she's hard locked to crit dmg circlet which makes it twice as hard to find. Will probably use her regardless when there's pyro applier that doesn't feel clunky with her.

[@cukkyun]

Just tried to use her on abyss 12, i haven't had troubles scoring 36* ever since 2020 but it seems impossible to do it with her lol

[@kiamehrkhademizadeh2676]

Well I do see myself using her so idc bye

[@shelter3408]

​@@kiamehrkhademizadeh2676ydc but you commented 🤡

[@MD-ru5ty]

I've told them that Mualani were inconsistent before, but they mad for no reason

[@D4C_267]

Kinich is very good. He is for sure in the top 5 of dps. When pyro archon and traveler comes out he will be number 2 or 3

[@TheGwilwileth]

Agree Kinich is really good…

[@izzme5204]

Too bad he can't make use of xilonen and kazuha honestly. Can't wait for mavuika so kinich will finally have a cinder set support

[@arizona_anime_fan]

I 36 starred this abyss with TEAM1: Nahida, Nilou, Neuvillette, Baizhu TEAM2: Navia, Bennett, Furina, Xilonen I have Mualani- I'm not sure i regret pulling her, but once i had figured her out and built her, she got sidelined and i don't miss her. so i guess that's a vote for "annoying to use" -interestingly she's in the same boat the Arlecchino is for me. I have my arle built, i just don't like playing her teams. i'll also point out my team 1, has been the same abyss team since i first started using it, 36 staring the abyss for about 6mo now. it's just way too strong to ignore, and it frees up furina for use on my second team. meanwhile team 2 is shockingly strong. seeing navia's shotguns hitting for 450-500k is pretty crazy. really easy team to crush the abyss with.

[@TheGwilwileth]

I main Neuvillette and did not pull Maulani as felt I had no use for her anyway. Did pull Kinich and Xilonen though…
