Mavuika's Abilities
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user. Her Archon status grants her unique combat abilities, including the impressive feature of riding a flaming steed in battle. Here's a summary of her kit:
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: A four-hit combo. Charged attacks consume stamina for increased damage. Plunging attacks deal AoE damage.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul's Blessing, enhancing Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding/gliding.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this ult relies on Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained via party members using Nightsoul points or performing normal attacks. The Burst unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack, activating the Crucible of Death and Life state. This state boosts interruption resistance and Flamestrider attack power based on Fighting Spirit.
