Character Value Analysis

5.8 Banners
Mualani	Citlali
Ineffa	Chasca

 

Ineffa

Role: Off-field DPS with a serviceable shield; enhances Electro-Charge (EC) reactions and provides Elemental Mastery buffs.

Strengths:

• AOE damage (unlike other off-field DPS like Chiori, Fischl, Emilie, Escoffier).
• Boosts Taser teams (Hydro/Electro on-field DPS like Clorinde, Ayato) with shield comfort; strengthens vape reactions significantly.
• Ideal for EC-reliant teams (even Hyperbloom) and could rise in relevance if Abyss shifts back to AOE focus.

Weaknesses:

• Doesn’t fit into the best teams of the top 3 DPS.
• Less effective for Natlan DPS compared to Natlan supports (Iansan).
• Fails to create new top-tier teams (only Neuvillette works, but it already has many options).

Verdict: A safe skip unless betting on future buffs (e.g., Noblesse Oblige artifact set, new Cryo characters) or valuing EC team flexibility.

 

Chasca

Role: 5-star "honor DPS" (in quotes) who uses party members’ elements for attacks, relying on ultimates and charged shots.

Strengths:

• Gained more viable teammates in 5.x, improving her value.
• Easy to pilot: hovers to avoid stagger, no complex mechanics (just hold charged attack).
• High hit counts, flexible team comps, long range, and vertical mobility let her counter most boss mechanics.

Weaknesses:

• Lowest DPS ceiling among modern DPS (a trade-off for ease of use).
• Bullet RNG: Random firing order may fail to trigger amplifying reactions (melt/vape), causing damage drops.
• Poor AOE performance: 6 bullets split evenly among enemies (e.g., 3 bullets per enemy with 2 targets), reducing damage.

Verdict: Still a solid DPS; safe to pull if she fits your team.

 

Citlali

Role: Cryo shielder; maintains "night soul blessing" to trigger scroll sets, deals consistent Cryo damage, and reduces Pyro/Hydro resistance on melt/freeze.

Strengths:

• Top-tier support, pairing excellently with Pyro DPS (Mavuika, Arlecchino) and damage amplifiers (Sucrose, Xilonen).
• Enables double Cryo melt teams (with Rosaria/Citlali) for more stable melts.
• Versatile for Hydro DPS (Eula, Ayato) and Cryo DPS; holds TTDS/scroll sets with decent personal damage.
• Competes with Skirk’s teammates (Shenhe, Yelan) and remains meta for future Cryo/Hydro setups.

Verdict: Highly recommended; boosts Pyro/Cryo/Hydro teams significantly.

 

Mualani

Role: DPS; was top-tier at Natalin’s start, still strong but facing competition from new DPS.

Strengths:

• Buffed by Xilonen (smoother rotations) and new teammates (Pyro MC, Mavuika).
• Fast clear times, performance near top 3 DPS with proper enemy pattern knowledge.
• Gained a potent team with Escoffier/Furina; can act as support (holds scroll/Tullayes).

Weaknesses:

• Low margin for error (few hits per rotation; missing one resets damage).
• May be outshone by future stronger Cryo/Hydro supports.

Verdict: Recommended if you don’ t mind her playstyle; remains a top 5 DPS.

 

Pull Priority Ranking

1. Citlali (top-tier support for Pyro/Hydro/Cryo teams).
2. Mualani (stronger DPS than Chasca, more account value than Ineffa).
3. Ineffa (supports meta teams, usable but not game-changing).
4. Chasca (solid but lower raw power long-term).

 

Vertical Investment (Constellations/Weapons)

Ineffa

Constellations: C2 is excellent if you can guarantee two 5-stars. Off-field DPS (like Ineffa) gain huge damage increases due to lower team damage share.

Weapon: Boosts personal damage and Lunar Charged damage; priority if lacking crit weapons (Ineffa relies on crit for Lunar Charge).

 

Citlati

Constellations: C1 and C2 outperform her weapon; C1 alone is better than the weapon (10% damage boost vs. stronger constellation buffs).

Weapon: Often worse than TTDS for buffing; not recommended.

 

Chasca

Constellations: C1 eases team building (e.g., Xilonen, dual-element comps with Mavuika/Bennett); C2 improves AOE. Higher priority than the weapon.

Weapon: Strong but less impactful than constellations for flexibility.

 

Mualani

Constellations: C1 boosts frontloaded damage; C2 increases margins for error (extra Sharkbite stack).

Weapon: Surfs Up is less valuable than battle pass weapons (Twin Nephrite) or Woodsaber; only a 25% boost, not worth prioritizing.

 

Conclusion

That is all about the 5.8 banners pulling advice. In brief, Citlali is the most recommended character to pull for. Mualani is also worth pulling for to some extent. Hope this guide really works for you and helps you plan your investment wisely on the powerful characters.
