Back to All Characters
Mavuika is one of the most anticipated characters from the Natlan nation inGenshin Impact, as she is the current Pyro Archon. As the Pyro Archon, players can expect her to be one of the most prominent Pyro characters in the roster, similar to her Archon counterparts from other nations. That said, while most other Archons take on a more supportive role within team compositions, Mavuika stands out as a DPS-oriented character. She excels as an on-field main DPS but also possesses some off-field capabilities, making her a potential substitutefor characters like Xianglingin certain team setups.
Since Mavuika’s primary utility comes from her role as a main DPS, players will need to carefully decide on how to build her based on their playstyle and existing roster. It’s worth noting that, at the time of her release, no available artifact sets fully synergize with her abilities. Nevertheless, when built correctly, Mavuika is sure to be a formidable addition to theGenshin Impactroster.
Mavuika Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
Regardless of whether players choose to use Mavuika as a main DPS or a sub-DPS,her best-in-slot artifact setremains theObsidian Codex. However, it is worth noting that Mavuika, unlike other Natlan main DPS characters released so far,does not consume Nightsoul pointsin combat. As a result, she cannot reliably and consistently activate the 4-piece effect of this artifact set. Despite this limitation, the Obsidian Codex still stands as the most viable option for her, as Mavuika can obtain the powerful 4-piece buff temporarily after using her Elemental Burst. This short burst of enhanced power keeps the set ahead of other options, even if it does not align perfectly with her playstyle.
For players seeking alternatives, there are other viable sets to consider based on the specific team composition and playstyle.Marechaussee Hunterartifact set is an excellent choice for playerspairing Mavuika with Furina, as it synergizes with Furina’s mechanics by capitalizing on HP fluctuations during combat. This set allows Mavuika to enhance her damage output in team compositions that make effective use of this mechanic. For teams focused on reaction-based gameplay, such as Vaporize or Melt setups, bothGilded Dreams and Crimson Witch of Flamescan offer solid utility. While they may not be as universally strong as Obsidian Codex, they provide reliable damage boosts in reaction-heavy compositions.
When it comes to sub-DPS roles, Mavuika’s artifact options don’t differ significantly from those of her main DPS build. Obsidian Codex is still the strongest choice, even though its 4-piece bonus only activates while she is on-field. This limitation makes Gilded Dreams a strong second option, as it provides boosts that remain active even when Mavuika is off-field. Another set worth mentioning isScroll of the Hero of Cinder City, which can work particularly well if there are noother characters like Xilonenor Citlali in the team who are already utilizing this artifact set.
Mavuika’s stat requirements align closely with those of a standard hypercarry DPS character that scales primarily with ATK. However, unlike many other hypercarries, she also benefits significantly from Elemental Mastery, particularly in teams focused on reactions like Melt and Vaporize. Players will need to pay close attention to optimizingCrit DMG, Crit Rate, ATK%, and EMwhen selecting both main stats and sub-stats for her artifacts.
Interestingly, Mavuika does not require any Energy Recharge. Her unique Elemental Burst activation mechanic relies on accumulating Fighting Spirit Stacks through actions such as other party members using Nightsoul points or performing Normal Attacks. This eliminates the need for Energy Recharge and allows players to focus entirely on maximizing her damage potential through the stats mentioned above.
For her Timepiece, players can choose between ATK% and Elemental Mastery, depending on the team composition and the bonuses provided by her weapon. A Pyro DMG Bonus goblet is the best main stat to go for, while her Circlet should prioritize either Crit Rate or Crit DMG based on the balance of stats already achieved.
Mavuika Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
Mavuika’s best weapon is her signature claymore,A Thousand Blazing Suns, which is specifically tailored to maximize her damage potential and versatility. Although its secondary stat offers only 11% Crit Rate, which is relatively low compared to other 5-star weapons, its passive abilities more than compensate for this shortcoming. The weapon grants Mavuika consistent boosts to Crit DMG and ATK through its sub-stats, making it an excellent choice for players who want to focus on her overall damage output. The high ATK value provided by the weapon also opens up additional flexibility in artifact selection, allowing players to opt for an Elemental Mastery Sands instead of ATK% if they wish to maximize her potential in Vaporize or Melt reaction teams. This flexibility and synergy with her kit make A Thousand Blazing Suns an ideal choice for Mavuika, particularly for those planning to use her as a hypercarry DPS.
If players are unable to acquire her signature weapon, several other limited 5-star claymores can serve as strong alternatives.Beacon of the Reed Seais the second-best option for Mavuika, offering a well-rounded balance of stats and a passive ability that works effectively with her kit despite Mavuika not scaling with DEF. Additionally,Redhorn StonethresherandVerdictare both solid options, especially when paired with an ATK% Sands, as they are decent stat sticks which can enhance her raw damage output.
The performance differences among these options are relatively minor, so players can confidently use any of these weapons based on availability or personal preference. For players looking for a more accessible 5-star option,Wolf’s Gravestone, remains a decent option, particularly if it has been refined over time. Its high ATK value allows players to comfortably shift their focus toward building Crit Stats and Elemental Mastery through artifacts.
When it comes to 4-star claymore options,Serpent Spineemerges as the best-in-slot weapon for Mavuika. Even at low refinement levels, this Battle Pass weapon performs exceptionally well, thanks to its Crit Rate secondary stat and a passive effect that significantly boosts her damage over time as long as she avoids taking damage. For players willing to invest in the Battle Pass, Serpent Spine is an excellent investment for maximizing Mavuika’s performance without relying on 5-star weapons, as it even has the potential to perform par to those if players have access to its refinements.
For those seeking a free-to-play friendly 4-star weapon,Mailed Floweris an outstanding choice. This claymore provides high Elemental Mastery values and a decent ATK% boost at max refinement, making it particularly valuable in reaction-based team compositions. Its synergy with Vaporize and Melt teams makes it an appealing option for players who want to focus on maximizing Mavuika’s reaction-based damage potential. With Mailed Flower, players can prioritize Crit Stats and ATK through their artifact builds instead.
