Mavuika’s Kit in Genshin Impact

Mavuika, a 5-Star Claymore-wielding Pyro character and an Archon, brings unique abilities to the game, including the ability to ride a bike in combat. Here’s a summary of her talents:

Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life

• Performs up to four consecutive strikes.
• Charged Attack: A powerful Severing Splendor strike, consuming stamina.
• Plunging Attack: Deals AoE DMG on impact.

Elemental Skill: The Named Moment

Mavuika summons All-Fire Armaments and restores Nightsoul points to their maximum value. She enters the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, during which her attacks deal enhanced Pyro DMG.

• Divine Name Unleashed (Tap): Summons Rings of Searing Radiance, which follow the active character and attack nearby enemies.
• Ancient Name Unbound (Hold): Summons the Flamestrider, allowing Mavuika to ride it or glide in mid-air. Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks deal Pyro DMG, including while sprinting.

Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies

Unlike most characters, Mavuika’s Burst relies on Fighting Spirit instead of Energy. She can activate her ult when she has at least 50% Fighting Spirit.

Fighting Spirit can be gained in two ways: Nearby party members consuming Nightsoul points, or party members’ Normal Attacks, which give Mavuika 1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 second.

With this, Mavuika gains ten Nightsoul points, entering Nightsoul’s Blessing state. She rides the FlameStrider and uses a powerful Sunfell Slice against opponents, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and entering the “Crucible of Death and Life” state.

Crucible of Death and Life: This state doesn’t consume Nightsoul points, and Mavuika’s interruption resistance increases. Normal and Charged Attacks of Flamestrider form also increase based on the amount of Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika’s Constellations in Genshin Impact

Here’s what you can expect from Mavuika’s six constellations:

• C1: The Night-Lord’s Explication – Increases max Nightsoul points to 120 and boosts Fighting Spirit efficiency by 25%. Grants 40% ATK for 8 seconds after gaining Fighting Spirit.
• C2: The Ashen Price – Enhances All-Fire Armaments. Decreases enemy DEF by 20% and boosts attack DMG in Flamestrider form.
• C3: The Burning Sun – Increases Elemental Burst level by three.
• C4: The Leader’s Resolve – Improves passive talent “Kiongozi,” preventing DMG decay after using the Burst.
• C5: The Meaning of Truth – Increases Elemental Skill level by three.
• C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered – Adds massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments (200%) and Flamestrider (400%) abilities. Gains 80 points when Nightsoul points drop to 5, triggering every 15s when riding the Flamestrider.

And that’s everything to know about Mavuika in *Genshin Impact*, including her materials, kit, and constellations.
