Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a flaming bike in combat!
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, with a stamina-consuming charged attack and AoE plunging attack.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul’s Blessing, enhancing Pyro DMG. This skill has two modes: a tap for summoning damage-dealing rings, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding or gliding. Attacks while on the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (50% or more required). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul’s Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack in the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state increases interruption resistance and enhances Flamestrider attack based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations
Unlocking Mavuika's constellations significantly boosts her abilities:
- C1: The Night-Lord’s Explication: Increases max Nightsoul points, boosts Fighting Spirit efficiency, and grants ATK 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 "Kiongozi" passive, 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 Fighting Spirit when Nightsoul points drop low while riding the Flamestrider.
This covers everything currently known about Mavuika in Genshin Impact. Prepare for her arrival and dominate the battlefield with the fiery Archon!
