Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user. Her unique kit includes a combat-ready mount, making her gameplay dynamic and exciting.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, with a stamina-consuming charged attack and AoE plunging attack.
- 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 version summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold version summoning the Flamestrider mount for both combat and aerial mobility. Attacks while using the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (50% minimum). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activating Nightsoul's Blessing, summoning the Flamestrider, and unleashing a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state increases interruption resistance and enhances Flamestrider attack based on Fighting Spirit.

- 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: Adds massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, and triggers a significant Fighting Spirit gain under specific conditions.
