Mavuika's Combat Prowess
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a flaming steed 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 the Nightsoul’s Blessing state boosts Pyro DMG. The skill has two modes: a tap for summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding or gliding, enhancing attack DMG while sprinting.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members consume Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). The Burst unleashes a powerful Sunfell Slice, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and further boosting Flamestrider attack DMG based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations: Unlocking Her Full Potential
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, reducing enemy DEF and boosting Flamestrider 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: Adds massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, and triggers additional DMG when Nightsoul points drop to 5 while riding the Flamestrider.
This comprehensive overview should prepare you for Mavuika's arrival. Get ready to harness the power of Natlan's Pyro Archon!
