Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay

Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a flaming mount in combat.

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, culminating in a stamina-consuming charged attack and an AoE plunging attack.
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul’s Blessing enhances Pyro DMG. This skill has two modes: a tap version summoning damage-dealing rings, and a hold version summoning the Flamestrider mount for both combat and aerial mobility.
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained through party members consuming Nightsoul points or through their normal attacks. The Burst unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack while riding the Flamestrider, activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state for increased interruption resistance and enhanced attack damage scaling with Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations

Unlocking Mavuika's constellations will significantly boost 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, reducing enemy DEF and boosting 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: Massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, along with a significant Fighting Spirit gain upon Nightsoul point depletion while riding the Flamestrider.

This comprehensive overview should equip you for Mavuika's arrival in Genshin Impact. Prepare for an exciting new addition to your team!
