Overview

  • On-field Pyro damage
  • Team damage buffer

Mavuika is the Pyro Archon and one of the strongest Pyro damage dealers. Her Elemental Skill puts her into Nightsoul's Blessing and summons either a Ring of Searing Radiance that attacks for her while she is off the field, or a Flamestrider bike she rides into battle. Her Burst does not use Energy. Instead it fills up Fighting Spirit, which her teammates generate by spending Nightsoul points and by landing Normal Attacks. The Burst hits hard, makes her bike attacks stronger, and gives the active character a damage bonus that fades over time.

Most players play her as an on-field carry on the Flamestrider. Invest in ATK, Pyro damage and crits, and skip Energy Recharge entirely. Teammates from Natlan who use Nightsoul points charge her Burst fastest.

Weapons

Best first. Every claymore on this list links to its page.

  1. A Thousand Blazing Suns ★★★★★

    Her signature claymore. It adds CRIT DMG and ATK after every Skill or Burst, a bonus she triggers constantly.

  2. Verdict ★★★★★

    A good 5-star stat stick: CRIT Rate and an ATK bonus. The extra Skill damage needs Crystallize or Lunar-Crystallize, which her teams do not trigger, so ignore that part.

  3. Beacon of the Reed Sea ★★★★★

    CRIT Rate plus ATK bonuses from Skill hits and from taking damage. Solid if you already own it.

  4. Serpent Spine ★★★★

    A strong 4-star for someone who stays on the field. The CRIT Rate stat and stacking damage bonus suit her, but each hit she takes removes a stack, so play safely or bring a shield.

  5. Tidal Shadow ★★★★

    A 4-star with a flat ATK main stat, plus more ATK each time a healer like Bennett tops her up.

Artifact sets

  1. Obsidian Codex 4-piece

    The best set for her on-field play. She spends Nightsoul points constantly while riding, so the CRIT Rate bonus is almost always active.

  2. Obsidian Codex + Crimson Witch of Flames 2-piece each

    A good stopgap: damage while in Nightsoul's Blessing plus Pyro damage.

  3. Crimson Witch of Flames 4-piece

    A fallback for Vaporize or Melt teams if you have good pieces already, since the four-piece adds a little reaction damage.

Teams

  • Mavuika Melt

    Citlali adds Cryo for Melt and lowers enemy Pyro RES, Xilonen lowers it further and heals, and Bennett buffs ATK. Citlali and Xilonen also spend Nightsoul points, which fills her Fighting Spirit.

  • Mavuika Vaporize

    Furina's Hydro turns Mavuika's Pyro hits into Vaporize and her burst raises the whole team's damage. Bennett heals off the HP Furina drains.

  • Budget Vaporize

    An easier team to put together. Xingqiu adds Hydro for Vaporize, Kachina spends Nightsoul points to charge her Burst, and Bennett buffs and heals.

Tips

  • Her Burst runs on Fighting Spirit, not Energy, so Energy Recharge does nothing for it. Put those stats into damage instead.
  • Teammates that spend Nightsoul points and characters who land Normal Attacks fill Fighting Spirit. Let them act before you swap back to Mavuika.
  • Wait for full Fighting Spirit before you use the Burst. Both the Burst damage and the party buff grow with how much Fighting Spirit you spend.
  • The empowered state from her Burst ends as soon as she leaves the field, so stay on her until it runs out.

Other character guides recommend Mavuika as a teammate in these teams.
