Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user. Her Archon status grants her unique abilities, including combat mobility on a fiery mount.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, culminating in a stamina-consuming charged attack. A plunging attack delivers AoE Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Mavuika summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Entering the Nightsoul's Blessing state enhances Pyro DMG. A tap summons Rings of Searing Radiance, while holding summons the Flamestrider for riding or mid-air gliding, imbuing normal, charged, and plunging attacks with Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, Mavuika's Burst uses Fighting Spirit (minimum 50%). This is gained via party members consuming Nightsoul points or through their normal attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack while riding the Flamestrider, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state increases interruption resistance and boosts Flamestrider attack DMG based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's constellations offer significant power boosts:
- C1: The Night-Lord's Explication: Increases max Nightsoul points, boosts Fighting Spirit efficiency, and grants ATK upon gaining Fighting Spirit.
- C2: The Ashen Price: Enhances All-Fire Armaments, reduces enemy DEF, and boosts Flamestrider attack 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: Significantly boosts All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider AoE Pyro DMG, granting additional Fighting Spirit under specific conditions.
