Introduction
Mavuika, a 5-star Pyro Claymore user, joins the roster of Genshin Impact with a unique playstyle centered around her innovative Fighting Spirit mechanic. As a versatile DPS/Sub-DPS, Mavuika excels in dealing devastating Pyro damage, making her an excellent addition to both reaction-heavy and standalone team compositions. This guide provides an in-depth look at her abilities, builds, team setups, and strategies to unleash her full potential.
Base Stats and Abilities
Base Stats
- HP: 12,552
- ATK: 359
- DEF: 792
- CD: +38.4%
While her base attack is among the highest in the game, her HP and DEF ensure she isn’t overly squishy, making her resilient even during extended field time.
Abilities
Elemental Skill: All-Fire Armaments
- Tap:Summons a searing Pyro ring that deals coordinated AoE Pyro damage, following the active character for up to 12 seconds.
- Hold:Grants Pyro infusion to Mavuika’s attacks while riding a flaming steed, enabling high-speed traversal and consistent Pyro application.
Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies
Unlike traditional bursts, Mavuika’s is powered by Fighting Spirit instead of energy. When she has at least 50% Fighting Spirit, she consumes it all to unleash her burst, gaining increased interruption resistance and enhanced attack damage. The burst deals massive AoE Pyro damage, making it a highlight of her kit.
