Best characters for Surf's Up in Genshin Impact

Surf's Up is an upcoming weapon expected to be released in the version 5.0 update. It will have the following stats at level 90:

Base ATK	542
Secondary stat	88.2% Crit DMG

Furthermore, it features the following passive effect at R1:

"Max HP increased by 20%. Every 12s, the following will occur within 10s after using an Elemental Skill: Gain 4 Scorching Summer stacks. Each stack increases Normal Attack DMG by 12%. In this duration, every 1.5s: After a Normal Attack hits an opponent, remove 1 stack; once every 1.5s: After triggering a Vaporize reaction on an opponent, add 1 stack. Max 4 Scorching Summer stacks."

This 5-star catalyst will provide its wielder with a ton of Crit DMG and will be suitable for characters that rely on their Normal Attacks to deal damage.

Here are all the Genshin Impact characters suitable to equip Surf's Up:

1) Mualani

Mualani is a new 5-star Hydro character who will be the obvious choice for Surf's Up as it is her signature weapon. It is designed to synergize with her kit and maximize her damage output. Considering her Hydro DMG scales off her max HP, the weapon is ideal for her.

Mualani's gameplay includes using her Elemental Skill to enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state and using a special type of Normal Attack to deal damage. This would be greatly enhanced by the weapon's passive.

2) Klee

Klee is a 5-star Pyro character released in Genshin Impact version 1.0. She uses her Normal and Charged Attacks to deal a lot of damage to enemies and trigger elemental reactions.

While she does not benefit from the HP provided by Surf's Up, she can utilize its buffs and trigger the Vaporize reaction to gain stacks.

3) Wriothesley

Wriothesley is a 5-star Cryo catalyst user who debuted in version 4.1. He relies on his Normal Attacks to deal most of his damage and features a low cooldown on his Elemental Skill, making this a good option.

However, it is important to note that the additional HP will be wasted on him and he won't be able to trigger the Vaporize reaction to regain stacks.

4) Wanderer

First released in version 3.3, Wanderer is the former Fatui Harbingers, Scaramouche. He is an Anemo DPS who can use his Elemental Skill to fly. Additionally, his Normal Attacks are the main source of his damage. Both of these reasons can make him a good choice for Mualani's signature weapon.

That said, similar to the previous entry, he cannot make good use of the increased HP and cannot trigger the Vaporize reaction.
