Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a flaming steed in combat.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a charged attack (stamina-consuming), and a plunging attack (AoE damage).
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul's Blessing, boosting Pyro DMG. A tap summons Rings of Searing Radiance, while a hold summons the Flamestrider, allowing riding or mid-air gliding. Attacks while on the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaching 50% Fighting Spirit (gained via party member Nightsoul point consumption or Normal Attacks granting 1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds) unleashes the Burst. This grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack in the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and Flamestrider attack power based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations
Unlocking Mavuika's constellations will significantly enhance her capabilities:
- C1: The Night-Lord's Explication: Increases max Nightsoul points, boosts Fighting Spirit efficiency, and grants ATK boost after gaining Fighting Spirit.
- C2: The Ashen Price: Enhances All-Fire Armaments, reduces enemy DEF, and boosts Flamestrider attack DMG.
- C3: The Burning Sun: Increases Elemental Burst level.
- C4: The Leader's Resolve: Improves the passive talent "Kiongozi," preventing DMG decay after using the Burst.
- C5: The Meaning of Truth: Increases Elemental Skill level.
- C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered: Adds massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, and grants a significant Fighting Spirit boost under specific conditions.
This comprehensive overview should prepare you for Mavuika's arrival in Genshin Impact. Get ready to harness the power of Natlan's Pyro Archon!
