Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit centered around her Archon powers. Key features include a combat-usable bike!
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, with a stamina-consuming charged attack and AoE plunging attack.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, restoring Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul’s Blessing enhances Pyro DMG. The skill has both a tap (Rings of Searing Radiance) and hold (Flamestrider mount/glide) function.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Uses Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaching 50% Fighting Spirit (gained through party member actions) unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack while riding the Flamestrider, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state for increased interruption resistance and attack boosts.
