Mavuika's Abilities and Combat Style
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 an AoE Plunging Attack.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul's Blessing state enhances Pyro DMG. This skill has two modes: a tap for summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider for riding or gliding. Attacks while on the Flamestrider deal Pyro DMG.
- 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 (1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 seconds). The Burst unleashes a powerful Sunfell Slice, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and further enhancing Flamestrider attacks 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 upon gaining Fighting Spirit.
- C2: The Ashen Price: Enhances All-Fire Armaments, reducing enemy DEF and boosting Flamestrider 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 additional Fighting Spirit when Nightsoul points drop low while riding the Flamestrider.
