Mavuika's Abilities and Combat Style
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with unique Archon abilities, including a combat-ready mount!
- Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life: Four consecutive strikes, a powerful charged attack (stamina cost), and an AoE plunging attack.
- Elemental Skill: The Named Moment: Summons All-Fire Armaments, replenishing Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul's Blessing state enhances Pyro DMG. The skill has two modes: a tap for summoning Rings of Searing Radiance, and a hold to summon the Flamestrider mount for both combat and aerial movement. Attacks while mounted deal Pyro DMG.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Instead of Energy, this Burst uses Fighting Spirit (50% minimum). Fighting Spirit is gained when party members use Nightsoul points or perform normal attacks (1.5 Fighting Spirit every 0.1 seconds). The Burst grants ten Nightsoul points, activates Nightsoul's Blessing, unleashes the Flamestrider for a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack, and triggers the "Crucible of Death and Life" state, increasing interruption resistance and further enhancing Flamestrider attack power based on Fighting Spirit.

- C3/C5: Increases Elemental Burst/Skill level.
