Surfshark Wavebreaker

Last updated 2026-05-10

First off, Sharky is a freshwater shark on top of being a surfboard. Second, it's not that it wants to eat for real, just that it definitely bites for real.

Surfshark Wavebreaker is Mualani's Elemental Skill.

Gameplay Notes

  • When Sharky's Bite or Sharky's Surging Bite hits at least one enemy, it generates 4.5 Elemental Particles.
    • This particle generation can only be triggered once per surf.
  • The 6s cooldown starts once Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends and not upon the Elemental Skill cast.
  • While Mualani is surfing, the Fall DMG she takes is reduced by 50%.

  • Each enemy will enter a 0.7s CD before they can be contacted again for another Wave Momentum stack.
  • Sharky's Surging Bite is a projectile attack, and it may hit an enemy other than the one originally targeted upon input. If this occurs, the accidentally-hit target will still be hit by a Shark Missile, while the intended target will not take any DMG at all.
Passive Effects
  • Passive Talent 1, Heat-Resistant Freshwater Floater Heat-Resistant Freshwater Floater: "When Sharky's Surging Bite hits an opponent, a Puffer will be generated nearby. Mualani will restore 20 Nightsoul points when she picks up a Puffer. Only 2 such Puffers can be created in this way during a single instance of being in Nightsoul's Blessing."
Constellation Effects
  • Constellation Level 1, The Leisurely "Meztli"... The Leisurely "Meztli"...: "The DMG dealt by the first Sharky's Surging Bite after Mualani enters Nightsoul's Blessing and the Shark Missiles it triggers is increased by 66% of Mualani's Max HP. This instance of increased DMG is subject to the diminishing DMG rules of Surfshark Wavebreaker. In addition, while out of combat, Mualani's Nightsoul's Blessing state consumes 30% less Phlogiston and Nightsoul points."
  • Constellation Level 2, Mualani, Going All Out! Mualani, Going All Out!: "Mualani gains 2 of Surfshark Wavebreaker's Wave Momentum stacks when she enters Nightsoul's Blessing. She will gain 1 stack when obtaining a Puffer. In addition, whenever Mualani obtains 2 Puffers within a single instance of the Nightsoul's Blessing state, she will recover an additional 12 Nightsoul points over 2s. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent 'Heat-Resistant Freshwater Floater.'"
  • Constellation Level 3, Surfing Atop Joyous Seas Surfing Atop Joyous Seas: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
  • Constellation Level 6, Spirit of the Springs' People Spirit of the Springs' People: "The DMG increase from the Constellation 'The Leisurely 'Meztli'...' is no longer limited to being triggered once every Nightsoul's Blessing."
