Why can't she Normal Attack?

Yumemizuki Mizuki’s kit explained

Firstly, we should familiarize ourselves with Mizuki’s kit. Her Normal Attacks are a string of weak Anemo hits. Mizuki never uses Normal Attacks in combat, so we can ignore them for now.

Mizuki’s Skill makes her float and enter the Dreamdrifter state. While in the Dreamdrifter state, Mizuki becomes a turret, dealing Anemo damage at intervals on nearby enemies. Mizuki cannot use Normal Attacks while in the Dreamdrifter state. She also continuously floats forward – there’s no 🥃way to stop and hover in place. She can still dodge, at least.

Mizuki’s Burst summons a series of little snacks on the field. Touching a snack while low on HP will heal the active characte𝔉r. If you have at least 70% HP, though, it will instead deal Anemo damage in an AoE.

How to play Mizuki as an on-field Swirl DPS

Mizuki’s playstyle revolves around triggering as many Swirls as possible while she’s on the field. This means setting up off-field teammate abilities, switching to Mizuki, and then using her Burst and Skill. Float around your enemies, picking up snacks and dealing continuous Swirl damage. With the right build, Miz꧃uki’s Swirls should be hitting fo💝r bigger numbers than even Kazuha or Sucrose. Once Mizuki’s Dreamdrifter state ends, switch to her teammates and start your rotation anew. To summarize:

  1. Rotate through teammates to set up their off-field abilities.
  2. Switch to Mizuki.
  3. Cast Mizuki’s Burst, then Skill.
  4. Float around enemies and try to pick up snacks when you see them.
  5. When Mizuki stops floating, restart your rotation.

With the steps above and the right teammates, your Mizuki should be🐼come a unique on-field DPS who simultaneously deals damage and heals herself.
