Mavuika's Abilities in Genshin Impact
Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user. Her Archon status grants her a unique kit, including a combat-ready mount!
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: A four-hit combo. Charged Attack: A powerful, stamina-consuming strike. Plunging Attack: AoE damage on impact.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul's Blessing, enhancing Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold for the Flamestrider mount, enabling both ground and aerial Pyro DMG attacks.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (min. 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 seconds). The Burst unleashes the Flamestrider for AoE Pyro DMG and activates the Crucible of Death and Life state, boosting interruption resistance and Flamestrider attack power based on Fighting Spirit.
