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, a charged attack, and a plunging attack.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, restoring Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul's Blessing state boosts Pyro DMG. Tap for Rings of Searing Radiance, hold for Flamestrider summoning, enabling riding and mid-air gliding. Attacks while riding deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this ult uses Fighting Spirit (min. 50%). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or Normal Attacks. The Burst unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro attack, activating the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state increases interruption resistance and boosts Flamestrider attack DMG based on Fighting Spirit.
