Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user. As an Archon, she boasts a unique kit, including a combat-ready mount.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Up to four consecutive strikes. Charged Attack consumes stamina for a powerful blow. Plunging Attack deals AoE DMG.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, restoring Nightsoul points. Enters Nightsoul’s Blessing state, enhancing Pyro DMG. (Tap: Summons Rings of Searing Radiance. Hold: Summons Flamestrider for riding/gliding, adding Pyro DMG to Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks.)
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaching 50% Fighting Spirit activates the Burst; gained via party members consuming Nightsoul points or through Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). Mavuika rides Flamestrider, unleashing Sunfell Slice (AoE Pyro DMG) and entering “Crucible of Death and Life” state (increased interruption resistance and enhanced Flamestrider attack based on Fighting Spirit).
Unlocking Mavuika's constellations will significantly enhance her abilities:
- C1: The Night-Lord’s Explication: Increases max Nightsoul points and Fighting Spirit efficiency, granting ATK boost after gaining Fighting Spirit.
- C2: The Ashen Price: Enhances All-Fire Armaments, decreasing enemy DEF and boosting Flamestrider DMG.
- C3: The Burning Sun: Increases Elemental Burst level.
- C4: The Leader’s Resolve: Improves passive talent “Kiongozi,” preventing DMG decay after Burst.
- C5: The Meaning of Truth: Increases Elemental Skill level.
- C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered: Massively boosts All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider AoE Pyro DMG, adding a significant DMG trigger when riding Flamestrider.
This comprehensive guide covers everything known about Mavuika in Genshin Impact, from her release and materials to her powerful kit and constellation effects.
