Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore user with a unique combat style, including the ability to ride a fiery mount!
- 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 and restores Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul's Blessing state enhances Pyro DMG. A tap summons Rings of Searing Radiance, while holding summons the Flamestrider for riding or gliding, granting Pyro DMG to normal, charged, and plunging attacks even while sprinting.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, Mavuika's Burst uses Fighting Spirit (min. 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained through party members using Nightsoul points or performing Normal Attacks. The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack while riding the Flamestrider, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state with increased interruption resistance and enhanced Flamestrider attack scaling with Fighting Spirit.
