Main DPS Mavuika Build
While Mavuika can be built as an on or off-field DPS, there are many overlaps in terms of Weapons and Artifacts while stats/talents remain unchanged. If you want to play Mavuika in both builds, you certainly can.

As you can see, Mavuika's best builds do not change too significantly. The most important thing with Mavuika's weapons is to ensure any weapon effects are activated. For example Fang of the Mountain King can be used in a Sub DPS build due to Mavuika being off-field in Burning teams, but this would be a bad weapon on-field due to Mavuika's on-field teams being Melt and Vape related. But on either build, A Thousand Blazing Suns is Mavuika's best weapon by a significant margin.
Mavuika's best artifact set is Obsidian Codex generally speaking however Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City can instead be a great option when played as a Sub DPS. Cinder City cannot stack so if another party member is using this artifact set then Mavuika should always be using Obsidian Codex.
With regards to Mavuika's substats, Elemental Mastery is very important (and your best main stat choice) in vape/melt teams but worthless otherwise. Therefore ATK % is your better general choice if you plan to build Mavuika for a wide range of teams. Mavuika also needs no Energy Recharge due to her unique Energy mechanic that builds based on Nightsoul.
Normal Attacks are not important for Mavuika and therefore not worth building unless you really want to. They do not provide a significant increase in damage.
Mavuika's Best Team Comps
Mavuika can be played in 2 different ways, either on-field as your Main DPS or off-field as a powerful buffer, Pyro applicator and scroll holder. Both are more than viable ways to play Mavuika.
When played on-field Mavuika heavily benefits from having Xilonen or Citlali in the party due to the Nightsoul generation they provide. That being said, they are not required to play Mavuika effectively. Even without Xilonen and Citlali Mavuika can still be stronger than many DPS in the game and her performance as a Sub DPS is relatively unchanged.
On-Field Mavuika Team Examples
Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Mavuika | Bennett | Citlali | |
Mavuika | Furina | Xilonen | Bennett |
Mavuika | Ororon | Chevreuse | Bennett |
Shown above are some of the best Mavuika team compositions when played as an on-field DPS with the first team being the strongest by a wide margin. While Bennett, Citlali and Xilonen are valuable teammates, there are alternatives such as Kaedehara Kazuha, Kachina and Furina for buffs, or any character with good Elemental Application if you need more reactions.
Off-Field Mavuika Team Examples
Main DPS | Sub DPS | Sub DPS | Support |
---|---|---|---|
Kinich | Emilie | Mavuika | Bennett |
Clorinde | Ororon | Mavuika | Chevreuse |
Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support | Support |
Mualani | Mavuika | Xilonen | Kaedehara Kazuha |
Neuvillette | Mavuika | Furina | Lan Yan |
Wriothesley | Mavuika | Bennett | Kaedehara Kazuha |
When played off-field Mavuika can slot into a wide range of teams, while not as universal as Furina, Mavuika can essentially fit anywhere that you may use Xiangling and be a viable sidegrade if not an upgrade depending on the team.

Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive claymore strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an especially powerful Severing Splendor strike toward the front. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. |
Elemental Skill | The Named Moment |
Calling upon her authority over "conflict," Mavuika summons the All-Fire Armaments passed down through the line of human Archons, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG After using this, Mavuika's Nightsoul points are restored to max value, and she enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state. All-Fire Armaments Has different forms when Tapped or Held. Tap "Divine Name Unleashed": The All-Fire Armaments manifest as Rings of Searing Radiance. The Rings follow the current active character and attack nearby opponents at intervals, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG. Hold "Ancient Name Unbound": The All-Fire Armaments manifest as a Flamestrider. In this state, Mavuika can ride the Flamestrider at high speed, or activate its hidden backup propulsion module to temporarily cross various terrain types and glide in mid-air temporarily. Mavuika's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will also be converted to deal Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When sprinting, she also deals Nightsoul-aligned Pyro DMG to opponents along her path. While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, Tapping the Elemental Skill can switch the All-Fire Armaments' form. The Armaments will disappear once Mavuika's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends. Nightsoul's Blessing: Mavuika Continuously consumes Nightsoul points according to the All-Fire Armaments' form. Mavuika's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends once Nightsoul points are exhausted. |
Elemental Burst | Hour of Burning Skies |
Let the inner voices of the people reach the divine throne in the heavens. Mavuika's Elemental Burst is not reliant on Energy, but instead, on "Fighting Spirit." Fighting Spirit When Mavuika has at least 50% Fighting Spirit, she can consume it all to unleash her Elemental Burst. Mavuika can obtain Fighting Spirit via the following methods:
After using this, Mavuika gains 10 Nightsoul points and enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state. Riding her Flamestrider high in the air, she uses a powerful Sunfell Slice against opponents on the ground, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG and entering the "Crucible of Death and Life" state. Crucible of Death and Life During this time, Mavuika's various actions will no longer consume Nightsoul points, and her interruption resistance is increased. Also, the DMG dealt by Sunfell Slice and "Ancient Name Unbound"'s Normal and Charged Attacks is increased based on the amount of Fighting Spirit she has when using the Elemental Burst. Crucible of Death and Life will be canceled when Mavuika leaves the field. |

Mavuika's Constellations
Mavuika's best constellation to aim for if you want constellations is her C2, The Ashen Price, which is a massive DPS gain. C1, The Night-Lord's Explication can be great however it is mainly a buff for her off-field or team with less Nightsoul generation rather than her main on-field DPS teams. Higher constellations, especially "Humanity's Name" Unfettered (C6) are also incredibly powerful and worth aiming for if you love Mavuika.
# | Name | Explanation |
---|---|---|
C1 | The Night-Lord's Explication |
Mavuika's maximum Nightsoul points are increased to 120, and she gains Fighting Spirit 25% more efficiently. Additionally, she gains 40% ATK for 8s after gaining Fighting Spirit./p> |
C2 | The Ashen Price | When in the Nightsoul's Blessing State, Mavuika's Base ATK is increased by 200, and she obtains the following effects based on All-Fire Armaments' form:
|
C3 | The Burning Sun | Increases the Level of Hour of Burning Skies by 3. |
C4 | The Leader's Resolve |
Enhances the effects of the Passive Talent "Kiongozi": The DMG increase gained after using the Elemental Burst Hour of Burning Skies will not decay over time, and gains an additional 10% DMG increase. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Kiongozi." |
C5 | The Meaning of Truth | Increases the Level of The Named Moment by 3. |
C6 | "Humanity's Name" Unfettered |
The All-Fire Armaments from the Elemental Skill The Named Moment receive all-round improvements:
Additionally, when Mavuika is riding her Flamestrider and is not in combat, when her Nightsoul points drop to 5, she will gain 80 Nightsoul points. This effect can trigger once every 15s. |
