With her first rerun in Genshin Impact now live, Mavuika’s value is back in the spotlight. But this time, the conversation is centered around her Constellation 2—a powerful upgrade that many claim takes her from amazing to best-in-class. Red Warrior’s video offers a comprehensive and passionate case for why C2 Mavuika might be one of the strongest constellation upgrades in the entire game.
Let’s break it down.
Why C2 Mavuika Is So Powerful
At its core, C2 Mavuika grants a 20% defense shred. While this might sound modest, in practice it offers around a 10–11% raw teamwide damage increase—an incredibly rare buff outside of characters with very specific debuffs or limited kits. Right now, there are no widely-used units in the meta providing consistent defense reduction, making Mavuika’s C2 stand out even more.
But here’s the kicker: Mavuika is already doing 1 million+ damage per rotation without constellations. C2 simply supercharges that, adding massive teamwide and personal value.
Team Synergy: Mavuika and Navia
Red Warrior highlights Navia’s team as a key example where C2 Mavuika shines. Navia gains:
- Vaporize synergy with Furina
- Damage bonuses from Furina
- Defense shred and team buffs from C2 Mavuika
The rotation showed:
- Mavuika hitting for 77k to 115k+ per charge attack
- Navia following up with 80k+ damage
- Total burst damage easily hitting or exceeding 5 million against the Capybara boss
That level of output is nearly unmatched, especially in a single cycle. It’s what makes C2 Mavuika a standout option not just for her own DPS, but as a top-tier support and enabler for other hard-hitting units.
How C2 Impacts Her Stats
Aside from the defense shred, C2 Mavuika provides:
- +200 base attack, which scales extremely well with attack buffs like Bennett’s or Shilonin’s
- Boosted normal and charged attack damage
- Greater synergy with C1, which increases her Night Soul stacking and burst frequency
For example, Red Warrior’s Mavuika at C2 showed 2,832 total attack, with a significant chunk coming from the added base attack. Combined with Shilonin’s C2, which gives another 45% attack, it becomes clear that the raw stat synergy is massive.
What About C1?
C1 Mavuika is already quite good:
- Increases her maximum Night Soul cap
- Boosts how efficiently she builds stacks for her burst by 25%
- Makes single-Natlan teams more viable
While C1 isn’t a necessity, it helps smooth her gameplay significantly. It allows for more flexible team-building and helps avoid energy management issues that plague burst-centric comps.
Damage Numbers: The Real-World Results
Red Warrior’s testing shows:
- C0 Mavuika doing ~1.4 million per rotation
- C2 Mavuika reaching 1.8 to 2 million+
- In perfect crit scenarios, even 5 million damage is possible
That’s a staggering 44%+ increase from C0 to C2 in total rotation value. The raw power ceiling she reaches at C2 competes with or surpasses nearly every other character in the game—including powerhouse units like Skirk and Arlecchino.
Is It Worth Summoning for C2?
Red Warrior is honest: you don’t need C2 to make Mavuika great. Her C0 with a proper team already clears Stygian Onslaught and Abyss with ease. But if you’re looking for top-tier damage and future-proof scaling, C2 is a game-changer.
“C2 Mavuika might just make her the best character in the game.”
It’s also important to consider your account status. If you already have supports like Shilonin, Seat Li, or Bennett built, Mavuika’s performance will scale even harder. And if you don’t, summoning those may give more immediate value than pushing for C2.
Final Verdict
✅ Get C2 Mavuika if:
- You already love her and want to push her to the limit
- You enjoy teamwide utility and huge AoE burst rotations
- You have Natlan characters or plan to build around her
❌ Skip C2 if:
- You’re missing key supports like Seat Li or Shilonin
- You’re tight on primogems and want to save for future characters
- You’re happy with her C0 performance (which is already fantastic)

What makes C2 Mavuika so strong?
C2 enables Mavuika to debuff enemies’ defense and simultaneously boosts her own normal and charged attack damage, along with an increased base attack. This constellation enhances both her personal DPS and her support value.
How much of a damage increase is C2 over C0?
Tests show up to a 44% increase in total rotation damage, pushing her output from 1.4 million to over 2 million in optimized teams. This is one of the most impactful C2 upgrades in the game.
Do I need specific teammates for Mavuika at C2?
She works best with characters like Seat Li, Shilonin, Bennett, and Furina—especially those that can help her build Night Soul or synergize with her Pyro application. Shilonin C2 is particularly strong when paired with C2 Mavuika.
Should I get C2 Mavuika or invest in supports like Miss Coffee for Skirk?
If you lack key supports like Miss Coffee for Skirk or Seat Li for Mavuika, prioritize them first. But if your team is already well-supported, C2 Mavuika is an exceptional value upgrade.
