Mavuika's Skillset

Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user with a unique Archon-themed kit, including a combat-usable mount.

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes. Charged Attack consumes stamina for a powerful blow. Plunging Attack deals AoE damage.
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and grants Nightsoul's Blessing, boosting Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold for the Flamestrider mount, enabling aerial mobility and Pyro DMG with all attack types while sprinting.
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaches 50% Fighting Spirit via party member Nightsoul point consumption or Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 seconds). Upon activation, Mavuika gains 10 Nightsoul points, enters Nightsoul's Blessing, mounts the Flamestrider, and unleashes Sunfell Slice, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and triggering the Crucible of Death and Life state. This state boosts interruption resistance and scales Flamestrider attack based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations

Mavuika's constellations significantly enhance her abilities:

• 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 DMG.
• C3: Increases Elemental Burst level.
• C4: The Leader's Resolve: Improves her passive talent, preventing DMG decay after using the Burst.
• C5: Increases Elemental Skill level.
• C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered: Significantly boosts All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider DMG and grants additional Nightsoul points under specific conditions.
