Genshin Impact Welcomes Mavuika, the Pyro Archon!
HoYoverse has confirmed the fiery 5-Star Pyro Archon, Mavuika, as the next playable character joining the Genshin Impact roster. First glimpsed in Natlan's teaser trailer, she's poised to ignite the game with her unique abilities. Here's a comprehensive overview of her release date, required materials, combat kit, and constellation effects.
Mavuika's Genshin Impact Release Date
Prepare for Mavuika's arrival in Genshin Impact Version 5.3, launching January 1st, 2025. She'll likely be featured in either the first banner phase (January 1st) or the second (January 21st).
Mavuika's Talent and Ascension Materials
Based on beta data from Honeyhunterworld, acquiring Mavuika will require significant resources. For talent ascension:
- Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies of Contention
- Sentry's Wooden Whistle, Warrior's Metal Whistle, Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle
- An unnamed boss material (details yet to be revealed)
- Crown of Insight
- Mora
Ascension materials include:
- Withering Purpurbloom
- Agnidus Agate (Sliver, Fragment, Chunk, Gemstone)
- Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core
- Sentry's Wooden Whistle, Warrior's Metal Whistle, Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle
- Mora
Remember, fully leveling her three talents will triple the listed material requirements.
Mavuika's Abilities in Genshin Impact
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique combat style. Her kit highlights:
- 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. A tap summons Rings of Searing Radiance, while holding summons the Flamestrider, allowing Mavuika to ride or glide, dealing Pyro DMG during movement.
- Elemental Burst (Hour of Burning Skies): Instead of Energy, this relies on Fighting Spirit (at least 50%). Gaining Fighting Spirit occurs via party members consuming Nightsoul points or through their Normal Attacks. The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, and unleashes a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack (Sunfell Slice), entering the Crucible of Death and Life state. This state enhances interruption resistance and further boosts Flamestrider attack DMG based on Fighting Spirit.

Unlocking Mavuika's constellations significantly enhances her abilities:

- C3 & C5: Increases Elemental Burst and Skill levels.
- C4 (The Leader’s Resolve): Improves her passive talent, preventing DMG decay after using the Burst.
- C6 (“Humanity’s Name” Unfettered): Provides massive AoE Pyro DMG boosts to All-Fire Armaments and Flamestrider, and triggers additional points upon Nightsoul point depletion.
