Mavuika's Abilities

Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with unique Archon abilities, including combat bike riding!

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a charged attack (stamina cost), and a plunging attack (AoE DMG).
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, restoring Nightsoul points. Enters Nightsoul's Blessing state, boosting Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold for Flamestrider (rideable/glide). Attacks while on Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). 50% Fighting Spirit triggers the ult. Fighting Spirit is gained via party member Nightsoul point consumption or Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). The ult unleashes a powerful Sunfell Slice (AoE Pyro DMG), entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state (increased interruption resistance, boosted Flamestrider attack DMG based on Fighting Spirit).

Mavuika's Constellations

• 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, decreases enemy DEF, and boosts Flamestrider attack DMG.
• C3: The Burning Sun: Increases Elemental Burst level.
• 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.
• C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered: Adds massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, and grants Fighting Spirit when Nightsoul points drop low.
