Ultimate Guide to Mavuika: Build and Play Style in Genshin Impact

Select Language:

Once you dive into the story of Genshin Impact, you quickly learn that Archons are some of the mightiest entities in Teyvat. Each of the seven regions has its own Archon, who becomes a playable character upon your arrival in that area.

The sixth region you’ll explore in the main storyline is Natlan, presided over by the Pyro Archon, Mavuika. She stands out as the only human Archon, and it’s essential to develop her character effectively to maximize her potential when you manage to obtain her.

Top Weapons for Mavuika

Weapons play a crucial role in shaping a character’s abilities in Genshin Impact. They not only offer additional stats like ATK and Crit but also feature passive effects that significantly enhance a character’s capabilities. Here are Mavuika’s optimal weapon selections:

Name	Rarity	Synergy Explanation
A Thousand Blazing Suns	Five-Star	This signature weapon provides Mavuika with extra Crit DMG and ATK, along with Crit Rate whenever her Skill or Burst is activated. It also extends the duration of the buffed attacks by 75% when she is in the Nightsoul Blessing state.
Beacon of the Reed Sea	Five-Star	While not fully optimized for Mavuika, this weapon still serves as a strong option, as it boosts ATK when Mavuika uses her Elemental Skill or takes damage. It also adds a notable 33.1% Crit Rate.
Fang of the Mountain King	Five-Star	This weapon can be a viable choice for Mavuika, although it requires a Dendro party member or an enemy to activate the Burning or Burgeon effects to reach its full potential.
Serpent Spine	Four-Star	Ideal for on-field Mavuika players, this four-star option continuously enhances her damage. However, to maintain its effect, she must avoid taking damage, requiring a shield character on the team.
Blackcliff Slasher	Four-Star	A great choice for F2P players, this weapon provides additional Crit DMG and ATK whenever enemies are defeated.

Best Artifact Sets for Mavuika

As you progress in Genshin Impact, you’ll engage in an endless search for artifacts, which can take time and effort. Each character has various artifact sets, and it’s vital that the pieces you collect feature specific stats to be effective. Here are some of the best artifact sets for Mavuika based on their bonuses:

Artifact Set	Effect
Obsidian Codex	Boosts damage in the Nightsoul Blessing state and gives Mavuika a significant 40% Crit Rate, simplifying your artifact hunt.
Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City	Great for off-field support, this set provides extra Energy regeneration and team damage enhancements.
Crimson Witch of Flames	If you’re still early in the game, this set increases Mavuika’s overall Pyro DMG and enhances reactions triggered by her.
Gladiator’s Finale	If you lack the previous sets, Gladiator’s Finale is a solid alternative, substantially raising her damage while on the field.

Mavuika’s Artifact Stat Priorities

When selecting main and sub-stats for Mavuika’s artifacts, consider the following:

Artifact Type	Main Stat Priority	Sub Stat Priority
Flower	HP	Crit DMG > Crit Rate > ATK Percent
Feather	ATK	Crit DMG > Crit Rate > ATK Percent
Sands	ATK Percent	Crit DMG > Crit Rate
Goblet	Pyro DMG Bonus	Crit DMG > Crit Rate > ATK Percent
Circlet	Crit DMG/Crit Rate	Crit Rate/Crit DMG > ATK Percent

Note: Use Crit Rate as the main stat on the Circlet only if the Obsidian Codex set is not equipped.

Optimal Team Compositions for Mavuika

In Genshin Impact, you can assemble a team of up to four characters, and harnessing proper synergies is key to maximizing your party’s effectiveness. While Mavuika can deal decent damage alone, her true potential shines in a well-formed team.

Best Mavuika Team

Character	Role	Strategy
Mavuika	Main DPS	In this setup, Mavuika uses her Skill and then swaps out to allow her teammates to utilize their abilities. She returns to unleash her Burst for heavy damage.
Furina	Sub-DPS	Furina applies consistent Hydro for Vaporize reactions with Mavuika while increasing her damage with her Burst.
Kaedehara Kazuha	Buffer	Kazuha excels as a support character, lowering enemy resistance while boosting the team’s damage output.
Xilonen	Buffer/Sustainer	Xilonen offers buffs similar to Kazuha and provides healing for the team, maintaining their overall sustainability.

Tip: After activating Mavuika’s Skill, prioritize switching to Xilonen and Kazuha to trigger optimal reactions with Pyro.

Talent Upgrades for Mavuika

Every character in Genshin Impact has three main talents: Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. The best order for upgrading Mavuika’s talents varies based on her intended use. If you plan on utilizing her mainly as an off-field Pyro applicator, focus on enhancing her Skill, followed by her Burst. Conversely, if she is intended to be the primary DPS in your lineup, upgrade her Burst first. Mavuika’s Normal Attack can be deprioritized in either case, as she isn’t designed to deal significant damage through it.
