Mavuika has finally joined as an available character in Genshin Impact. If you want to get a quick overview on how to use her then follow this guide!
Arguably the most anticipated character in the Natlan region is playable now in Genshin Impact. Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore character in Genshin Impact, excelling as both a Main DPS and Sub-DPS. Her versatile kit allows her to dominate on-field and provide rare off-field Pyro application.
She is without the strongest DPS in the game now who can break the damage limiter on the game (literally). That being said, there are certain factors to consider before you can get the most out of the strongest Pyro Archon in the history.

Mavuika’s Overview
Strengths:
- Exceptional flexibility: Can switch between on-field and off-field roles.
- Outstanding damage potential: surpassing other Pyro carries with optimal investment.
- Reliable off-field Pyro application: through her Elemental Skill.
- Zero Energy Recharge requirement: Needs only fighting spirit for her Elemental Burst.
- Great exploration utility: With her motorbike she combines multiple Natlan exploration abilities.
Weaknesses:
- Elemental Burst is reliant on Natlan characters for Nightsoul point generation.
- Off-field Pyro application has slower procs compared to Xiangling.
Mavuika Talents
- Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 claymore strikes in a row.
- Charged Attack: Uses stamina to deliver a powerful “Severing Splendor” strike forward.
- Plunging Attack: Jumps from mid-air to slam the ground, dealing AoE damage and hitting enemies along the way.
Elemental Skill: The Named Moment
Mavuika channels her authority over “conflict,” summoning the All-Fire Armaments, which deal Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG. This restores her Nightsoul points to max and activates the Nightsoul’s Blessing state.
All-Fire Armaments Forms:
- Tap (Press):
- “Divine Name Unleashed”: Creates a Ring of Searing Radiance that follows the active character, attacking nearby enemies and dealing Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG.
- Hold:
- “Ancient Name Unbound”: Summons a Flamestrider for high-speed movement and terrain crossing, including mid-air gliding. Attacks are converted to Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG, and sprinting damages enemies in her path.
While in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, tapping the skill switches the Armaments’ form. The Armaments vanish when the state ends.
Nightsoul’s Blessing:
- Continuously drains Nightsoul points based on the active Armaments form. The state ends when points are depleted.
Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies
Mavuika’s Burst consumes Fighting Spirit instead of Energy.
Fighting Spirit Mechanics:
- Requires at least 50% Fighting Spirit to activate the Burst.
- Gain Fighting Spirit when:
- Party members consume Nightsoul points in combat.
- Party members’ Normal Attacks hit enemies (1.5 Fighting Spirit per hit, once every 0.1s).
Using the Burst:
- Restores 10 Nightsoul points and activates Nightsoul’s Blessing.
- Summons her Flamestrider to deliver Sunfell Slice, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG.
Crucible of Death and Life:
- During this state:
- Nightsoul points are not consumed.
- Resistance to interruption increases.
- Sunfell Slice and Normal/Charged Attack DMG are enhanced based on Fighting Spirit consumed.
- The state ends when Mavuika leaves the field.

Impact of Citlali and Xilolen
You can hit upto 10 million damage with Mavuika but for that you will need to equip her with Natlan supports. Otherwise, you won’t be getting the massive damage numbers that you see across the internet. Getting Citlali and Xilolen have much higher importance than investing on her constellations in this case.
