Mavuika's Combat Abilities
Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a flaming steed in combat.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, culminating in 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 state enhances Pyro DMG. The skill has two modes: a tap for summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider, enabling riding or mid-air gliding. Attacks while on the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst utilizes Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). 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, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack (Sunfell Slice) while riding the Flamestrider, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. In this state, interruption resistance increases, and Flamestrider attack DMG scales with 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: Significantly boosts All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider AoE Pyro DMG, granting additional Nightsoul points under specific conditions.
