Mavuika is finally getting her rerun near the end of the Nod-Krai Cycle in version 6.6. She is the Pyro Archon of Natlan, and is a five-star Pyro Main DPS and Sub-DPS Claymore user. With the right build, her damage potential can be pushed even further.
Keep on reading to learn our updated Mavuika guide for version 6.6!
Bearing the Ancient Name Kiongozi and known by her Goetic name Haborym, she is the current God of War and Pyro Archon of The Seven, presiding over Natlan.
Mavuika's talent priorities vary depending on her playstyle.
For a Main DPS Mavuika build, prioritizing her Elemental Burst is highly recommended, as it accounts for a significant portion of her damage and enhances her Charged Attacks during her bike mode. Her Elemental Skill should be leveled next, while Normal Attacks can generally be ignored.
| Talent | Mavuika talent Priority | Recommended level |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | ★ ★ | 2+ |
| Elemental Skill | ★ ★ ★ ★ | 8+ |
| Elemental Burst | ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ | 10+ |
For an off-field Sub-DPS Mavuika build, the Elemental Skill should be prioritized first since it delivers most of her consistent damage and utility. Her Charged Attacks see less use in this role, making the Elemental Burst the next priority to level. As always, her Normal Attack talent does not require investment.
| Talent | Mavuika talent Priority | Recommended level |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | ★ ★ | 2+ |
| Elemental Skill | ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ | 10+ |
| Elemental Burst | ★ ★ ★ ★ | 8+ |
Mavuika's best weapons in Genshin Impact are A Thousand Blazing Suns, Beacon of the Reed Sea and Tidal Shadow.
A Thousand Blazing Suns is Mavuika’s best-in-slot weapon, designed specifically to complement her kit. It provides Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK buffs that no other weapon can match, while also allowing Mavuika to extend its duration or further enhance its effects.
A Thousand Blazing Suns
Gain the "Scorching Brilliance" effect when using an Elemental Skill or Burst: CRIT DMG increased by 20% and ATK increased by 28% for 6s. This effect can trigger once every 10s.
While a "Scorching Brilliance" instance is active, its duration is increased by 2s after Normal or Charged attacks deal Elemental DMG. This effect can trigger once every second, and the max duration increase is 6s.
Additionally, when the equipping character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, "Scorching Brilliance" effects are increased by 75%, and its duration will not count down when the equipping character is off-field.
Beacon of the Reed Sea is Mavuika’s second-best weapon due to its high base ATK and Crit Rate. It also provides additional ATK% stats, all of which Mavuika appreciates in both DPS and Sub-DPS roles.
Beacon of the Reed Sea
As for her F2P weapon, we highly recommend getting Tidal Shadow to receive a huge ATK% stats boost.
Tidal Shadow
The best Mavuika artifact sets are Obsidian Codex and Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.
Obsidian Codex is the best artifact set for on-field DPS Mavuika, and it is widely considered her top option by a long shot. This directly amplifies Mavuika’s on-field damage while providing a massive 40% CRIT Rate boost that perfectly scales with her Nightsoul-based kit.
Obsidian Codex
Scroll of the Hero of the Cinder City is Mavuika’s best support-oriented artifact set because it boosts team Elemental DMG and provides strong party-wide buffs whenever she triggers reactions, especially when paired with her Nightsoul’s Blessing state.
Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City
C1, C2, and C6 are Mavuika’s strongest constellations, with C2 often considered the best stopping point.
Below are all of Mavuika's constellations.
| C1:The Night-Lord's Explication |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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. Reason: A strong stepping stone for increasing Mavuika’s damage ceiling, this improves her Energy access to her Elemental Burst, extends the duration of her Skill, and also provides additional ATK. |
| C2:The Ashen Price |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: 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: · Ring of Searing Radiance: Nearby opponents' DEF is decreased by 20%. · Flamestrider: Mavuika's Normal Attacks, Charged Attacks, and her Sunfell Slice from the Elemental Burst Hour of Burning Skies deal 60%, 90%, and 120% of her ATK as increased DMG respectively. Reason: Mavuika's best Constellation besides her C6. This not only increases her personal damage, but she also gets to apply debuffs that can boost the team's damage output. |
| C3:The Burning Sun |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of Hour of Burning Skies by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: Increases Mavuika's elemental burst level. |
| C4:The Leader's Resolve |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Enhances the effects of the Ascension Talent "Kiongozi": The DMG increase gained after using the Elemental Burst Hour of Burning Skies will not decay over time, and an additional 10% DMG Bonus will be gained. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "Kiongozi." Reason: A decent upgrade allowing Mavuika to increase the damage bonus and remove the decay on her A4 passive. |
| C5:The Meaning of Truth |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of The Named Moment by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. Reason: Increases Mavuika's elemental skill level. |
| C6:“Humanity’s Name” Unfettered |
|---|
| Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: The All-Fire Armaments from the Elemental Skill The Named Moment receive all-round improvements: · Ring of Searing Radiance: When the Ring's attacks hit opponents, a Flamestrider will crash into the struck opponent, dealing 200% of ATK as Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG. · Flamestrider: When Mavuika is riding the Flamestrider, she will also summon a Scorching Ring of Searing Radiance to follow her, which will decrease nearby opponents' DEF by 20% and deal 500% of ATK as Nightsoul-aligned AoE Pyro DMG to nearby opponents once every 3s. Mavuika's terrain-crossing abilities will also be further improved. 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. Reason: Best constellation. C6 removes most of her limitations and lets her deal peak, fully optimized damage in both on-field and hybrid playstyles. |

Here are the best Mavuika teams in Genshin Impact.
Mavuika's elemental skill has a dual purpose, allowing you to switch between the DPS and sub-DPS roles. She can function as an on-field charged attack damage dealer, or a Pyro off-fielder to trigger several reactions.
Melt team is among Mavuika's best team archetypes, where she doubles her damage through combining Pyro and Cryo attacks to trigger Melt.
This belongs to one of many reasons why Citlali is her best partner; she deals off-field cryo attacks, shreds Pyro resistances, and can offer buffs. Double down by stacking more buffs and debuffs by adding more supports such as Xilonen and Nicole.
Mavuika also thrives in Vaporize teams.
Players can add off-field Hydro Sub-DPS such as Furina, who can only provide additional damage buffs through Fanfare. Since this team utilizes Furina, players will need a dedicated healer here, which Xilonen can fulfill completely. Slot in Nicole for a sizeable ATK buff that will amplify Mavuika's damage.
The Pyro Archon can also function as a sub-DPS for Vaporize teams through her Tap E. Pair her with a Hydro Main DPS such as Mualani, who can double her damage output by triggering Vaporize from Mavuika's off-field damage. Enter Xilonen for resistance shred debuffs and healing, and Sucrose for grouping and EM buffs.
Mavuika's best overload team also happens to be an F2P-friendly team consisting of four-star units.
The presence of solely electro and pyro units here ensures constant Overload damage. Mavuika can inflict her damage on-field, while Ororon's electro attacks trigger Overload. Chevreuse and Bennett on the other hand, work as buffer and debuffer. Chevreuse breaks enemies' resistances against Pyro and Electro, while Bennett boosts ATK.
Mavuika's elemental skill allows her to become a DPS for hypercarry teams or a sub-DPS for reaction-based teams.
Mavuika remains one of the top-tier DPS and Sub-DPS units in Genshin Impact due to her high damage ceiling in either role and strong vertical investment potential.
Mavuika's rerun banner will begin on June 9, 2026 during Phase 2 of Version 6.6!
Mavuika is very free-to-play friendly, just like every other Archon in Genshin Impact. She has access to cheap, craftable Claymores and can form strong teams using only 4-star units.
This brings us to the end of our Genshin Impact Mavuika build. Mavuika is one of the high-priority characters in Genshin, and draining your primogems for her is, without a doubt, worth it. Especially with a good build, Mavuika can carry your account whether she's a DPS or a sub-DPS.
