Mavuika's Abilities and Gameplay
Mavuika is a 5-Star Pyro Claymore user with a unique kit, including a rideable mount in combat!
- 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, restoring Nightsoul points. Entering Nightsoul's Blessing enhances Pyro DMG. The skill has a tap (Rings of Searing Radiance) and hold (Flamestrider mount) function.
- Elemental Burst: Hour of Burning Skies: Utilizes Fighting Spirit (not Energy). Reaching 50% Fighting Spirit activates the burst, granting Nightsoul points, summoning the Flamestrider, and unleashing a powerful AoE Pyro DMG attack, entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. This state increases interruption resistance and enhances Flamestrider attack based on Fighting Spirit.
