Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay

Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including a combat-usable mount.

• Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a stamina-consuming charged attack, and an AoE plunging attack.
• Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishes Nightsoul points, and activates Nightsoul's Blessing, boosting Pyro DMG. This skill has two modes: a tap for summoning damage-dealing rings and a hold for summoning the Flamestrider mount, allowing for both riding and mid-air gliding. Attacks while mounted deal Pyro DMG.
• Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained through party members using Nightsoul points or performing Normal Attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 seconds). The Burst unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack while mounted on the Flamestrider, activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and further boosting Flamestrider attack damage based on Fighting Spirit.

Mavuika's Constellations

Mavuika's constellations offer significant power boosts:

• C1: The Night-Lord’s Explication: Increases max Nightsoul points, boosts Fighting Spirit efficiency, and grants ATK boost after gaining Fighting Spirit.
• C2: The Ashen Price: Enhances All-Fire Armaments, reduces enemy DEF, and boosts Flamestrider attack DMG.
• 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: Significantly boosts All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider DMG, and grants a large Fighting Spirit boost under specific conditions.
