Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user. Her unique kit includes a combat-usable mount.
- 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, restoring Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul’s Blessing enhances Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance; Hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding or gliding, enhancing attack damage while sprinting.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaches 50% Fighting Spirit through party member Nightsoul point consumption or Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit per 0.1 seconds). This unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack while riding the Flamestrider, entering the Crucible of Death and Life state (increased interruption resistance and enhanced Flamestrider attack damage based on Fighting Spirit).
