Mavuika's Abilities and Combat Style
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user. As an Archon, her kit boasts unique mechanics, including the ability to ride a fiery steed in combat!
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: A four-hit combo. Charged Attacks consume stamina for a powerful blow. Plunging Attacks deal AoE damage.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul’s Blessing enhances Pyro DMG. The skill has two modes: a tap for summoning damage-dealing rings, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding or gliding. Attacks while on the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, Mavuika's Burst uses Fighting Spirit (50% minimum). 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, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack while riding the Flamestrider, triggering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state boosts interruption resistance and enhances Flamestrider attack power based on Fighting Spirit.
