Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay

Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit centered around "Nightsoul" points and "Fighting Spirit." She even boasts the ability to ride a flaming steed in combat!

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a charged attack, and a plunging attack, all dealing Pyro DMG.
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul’s Blessing, boosting Pyro DMG. The skill has two modes: a tap for summoning damage dealing rings, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider mount for both ground and aerial combat.
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members consume Nightsoul points or perform Normal Attacks. The Burst unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack, activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and further enhancing Flamestrider attacks.
