Mavuika's Stat Priority
Mavuika’s best stats to build around are CRIT, with Elemental Mastery and Attack. As Mavuika gets a lot of Attack from her passives and played with attack buffers like Bennett and Iansan, It is preferred to use EM sand for her specially when played in Melt and Vape teams.
Recommended Stats for Mavuika
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Mavuika's best 4-Star weapon, Serpent Spine. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
Mavuika's Talent Priority
Mavuika's Burst is her Major source of damage when played as a on-field DPS and skill is also very important for off-field damage, Normal attack can be skipped as they do not have much use cases.
How to Play Mavuika
Mavuika has two main playstyles: an on-field Main DPS style where she acts as the primary damage dealer, and a support/off-field damage dealer style where she buffs the active character while providing Pyro application and extra damage.
Her Main DPS playstyle is one of the strongest archetypes in the game. Unlike most DPS units, Mavuika does not rely on Energy Recharge for her Elemental Burst. Instead, she uses Fighting Spirit. Fighting Spirit can be generated by Mavuika herself, and it is also generated efficiently when you pair her with at least one Natlan teammate who consumes Nightsoul points. Once you have at least 50% Fighting Spirit, you can unleash her Burst to deal enhanced damage and enter her high-damage window with increased ATK.
Her basic on-field rotation is to set up your supports while generating Fighting Spirit, then use Mavuika’s Burst, followed by her Skill, and deal damage during the next ~7 seconds. During this window, you can use multiple combos depending on comfort and investment. A common baseline combo is using her Charged Attack spin, while more advanced options include techniques like dash-canceling Charged Attacks to increase damage and speed up inputs.
Her second playstyle is her support mode. In this setup, you mainly use her Burst and then swap into your main DPS. With full Fighting Spirit, Mavuika can provide up to a 40% damage bonus to the active character. At the same time, she continues to contribute off-field Pyro application and damage, making her a strong option for reaction teams and Natlan DPS teams that help charge her Burst quickly.
