Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay

Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user. As an Archon, her kit boasts unique mechanics, including a combat-ready mount!

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes. Charged Attack: A powerful Severing Splendor strike (stamina cost). Plunging Attack: AoE DMG on impact.
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Enters Nightsoul's Blessing state, enhancing Pyro DMG. (Tap: Summons Rings of Searing Radiance. Hold: Summons the Flamestrider mount for both combat and gliding.)
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (min. 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). Upon activation, Mavuika rides the Flamestrider, unleashing a Sunfell Slice (AoE Pyro DMG), and enters the "Crucible of Death and Life" state (increased interruption resistance, enhanced Flamestrider Normal and Charged Attacks based on Fighting Spirit).
