Mavuika, a new character rumored to appear in the Genshin Impact version 5.3 update, has captured the community's attention with leaks about her skills, weapon, and ascension materials. Recently, the official Genshin Impact account on X released a glimpse of Mavuika, complete with images and a description of her. Although this information is still considered a leak, let’s dive into the detailed discussion of her skills, signature weapon, and required ascension materials.
Mavuika's Skill Details
Normal Attack: Flames Weave Life
Mavuika delivers a standard attack combo with four consecutive strikes. Her charged attack unleashes Severing Splendor, dealing significant damage in front. Meanwhile, her plunging attack creates a wide AoE Pyro DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill: The Named Moment
This skill showcases Mavuika’s true strength with two modes:
- Tap: Summons a ring of fire that follows the active character, dealing Nightsoul Pyro DMG to nearby enemies.
- Hold: Mavuika summons Flamestrider, a fiery mount that not only enhances her mobility but also converts Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks into Nightsoul Pyro DMG. In this mode, she can traverse various terrains, even hovering momentarily in the air.
While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, Mavuika can switch between these two modes, offering flexibility to adapt to different combat scenarios.
Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies
Uniquely, Mavuika's Elemental Burst doesn’t use energy but consumes Fighting Spirit. By using Fighting Spirit, she unleashes Sunfell Slice, a massive AoE Pyro DMG attack, while entering the Crucible of Death and Life state. In this mode, her Nightsoul Points remain undrained, her interruption resistance increases, and her Normal and Charged Attack damage scales with the amount of Fighting Spirit accumulated.
Passive Talents and Constellations
Her passive talents, like Gift of Flaming Flowers and Kiongozi, enhance her team’s performance, especially after using her Elemental Burst. Meanwhile, constellations such as The Night-Lord's Explication and "Humanity's Name" Unfettered significantly boost her Nightsoul Points, improve Fighting Spirit collection efficiency, and increase damage from her skills and Normal Attacks.
Signature Weapon Details
Mavuika's signature weapon, A Thousand Blazing Suns, boasts a high base ATK of 741 and an additional 11% CRIT Rate. Its passive effect, Scorching Brilliance, at refinement level 5 provides up to 40% CRIT DMG and 56% ATK. This effect becomes even more potent when Mavuika is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, making it an ideal pair for her aggressive Pyro-focused playstyle.
Ascension and Talent Materials
To fully ascend Mavuika to her maximum level, you will need the following materials: 1 Agnidus Agate Sliver, 6 Agnidus Agate Gemstone, 9 Agnidus Agate Fragment, 9 Agnidus Agate Chunk, 18 Sentry's Wooden Whistle, 30 Warrior's Metal Whistle, 36 Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle, 46 Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core, 168 Withering Purpurbloom.

With HoYoverse’s official confirmation, Mavuika's debut as a playable character in Genshin Impact is set for version 5.3. Players can now prepare to acquire this Pyro Archon through the banner set to release in the first half of the update. As one of the most anticipated characters, Mavuika not only brings powerful Pyro elements but also introduces exploration innovations, including a motorcycle feature that reportedly allows traversal across land and water.
This official announcement puts an end to the long-running speculation within the community regarding Mavuika’s arrival. Many players, who previously relied on HoYoverse’s drip marketing tradition two days before updates, can now breathe a sigh of relief after finally receiving confirmation. Additionally, this announcement further raises expectations that Mavuika will be an outstanding unit supporting both aggressive playstyles and seamless exploration.
Mavuika's arrival marks a new chapter in players' adventures in Teyvat, particularly in Natlan, a region still shrouded in mystery and brimming with new challenges. With a combination of unique combat abilities and innovative exploration features, she is expected to captivate not only through gameplay but also through narrative depth. Don’t forget to save up Primogems and gather the necessary ascension materials to maximize Mavuika’s potential when she is released on January 1, 2025!
