Mavuika's Abilities and Combat Style
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including the ability to ride a fiery steed in combat.
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes. Charged Attack consumes stamina for a powerful blow. Plunging Attack deals AoE damage.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Enters Nightsoul’s Blessing state, boosting Pyro DMG. This skill has two modes: a tap version summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold version summoning the Flamestrider, allowing Mavuika to ride it and attack while sprinting or gliding.
- 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 Sunfell Slice, dealing AoE Pyro DMG and activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, boosting interruption resistance and attack power based on Fighting Spirit.
