Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user, and as an Archon, she boasts a unique kit, notably including a combat-usable mount.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a charged attack (stamina-consuming), and a plunging attack (AoE damage).
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul’s Blessing (enhanced Pyro DMG). Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold for the Flamestrider mount (allowing both riding and mid-air gliding). Attacks while mounted deal Pyro DMG, even while sprinting.
- 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 every 0.1 seconds). The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul’s Blessing, summons the Flamestrider, and unleashes a powerful Sunfell Slice (AoE Pyro DMG), entering the Crucible of Death and Life state (increased interruption resistance and enhanced Flamestrider attack scaling with Fighting Spirit).

- C6: “Humanity’s Name” Unfettered: Adds significant AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments (200%) and Flamestrider (400%) abilities. Gains 80 points when Nightsoul points drop to 5, triggering every 15s when riding the Flamestrider.
