Summary
A newGenshin Impactleak has revealed that Mavuika’s signature weapon will feature a special animation.Genshin Impact’s roster continues to expand with each update, and HoYoverse has already confirmed that the upcoming Version 5.3 will introduce two new five-star characters: Mavuika and Citlali.
These two will not be the only additions to the roster, as the Special Program also unveiled another four-star unit, Lan Yan, who is expected to debut in the second phase of the update. Every new five-star character in the game receives a signature weapon, which is featured simultaneously on the Limited Weapon Banner.
While signature weapons are not typically regarded as essential, they can significantly enhance the on-field potential of their respective characters. HoYoverse has confirmed that Mavuika will be a claymore user, making her the first Archon to wield this weapon type. A newposton theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit has revealed that Mavuika’s signature claymore will have a special glowing animation, likely triggered by activating some of its passive effects. Although fans appreciate this interactive detail, many have noted that it may not be very noticeable when used withMavuika inGenshin Impact,since her claymore barely appears in her main combos, as most of her damage comes from her motorcycle-based attacks.
Genshin Impact: Mavuika’s Signature Weapon Explained
Credible leakers have revealed that Mavuika’s signature weapon will be named A Thousand Blazing Suns, providing Crit Rate as its secondary stat, making it a strong option for manyDPS units inGenshin Impact. Its passive ability will grant an effect called Scorching Brilliance, which activates upon using an Elemental Skill or Burst. This passive effect will provide significant ATK and CRIT DMG buffs for six seconds.
If the weapon holder is in the Nightsoul Blessing state, these buffs will be increased by 75%, and the duration will only count down while the character is on the field. This mechanic allows players to rotate party members freely without worrying about the effect expiring. However, since the Nightsoul system is exclusive toGenshin Impact’s Natlan characters, the weapon’s versatility may be somewhat limited.
Despite these flexibility concerns, many players are likely to pursue this weapon, as Mavuika has been one of the most anticipated characters inGenshin Impactsince her initial reveal during the early Natlan teasers. HoYoverse has confirmed that both Mavuika and Citlali will be part of the first banner cycle ofGenshin ImpactVersion 5.3, scheduled for release on January 1.
