When Mavuika was first released in Genshin Impact, she instantly became one of the most talked-about characters. With dual playstyles, incredible Pyro application, and a signature motorbike-themed mechanic, she left a blazing mark on the meta. Now, with her first rerun finally arriving, the question on everyone’s mind is: Is Mavuika still worth pulling in 5.7?

Kamilo’s in-depth revisit of Mavuika reveals that not only is she still strong, but she continues to be one of the most versatile Pyro units in the game—whether you play her on-field or off-field.

Mavuika’s Dual Playstyles: DPS or Support, You Choose

Mavuika’s kit is built around her elemental skill, which offers two modes:

  • Tap Skill: Drops a Pyro zone that applies consistent off-field damage. This mode allows her to function as a support or sub-DPS, enabling reactions and boosting damage for teammates.
  • Hold Skill: Puts Mavuika on her iconic motorbike, where she becomes a powerful on-field DPS, dealing charged Pyro damage and rampaging through enemies with enhanced normal attacks.

Her elemental burst provides pure damage, but The Catch is that it only charges through Night Soul Points—a resource tied to Natlan characters. This means that in order to unlock her full burst potential, you’ll want at least one or two Natlan teammates.

Why Mavuika Is Still One of the Game’s Best

Despite newer DPS releases like Skirk and Verissa, Mavuika remains top-tier due to one key trait: flexibility. She can be slotted into a variety of team roles and still perform at a high level. Whether you’re running vape teams with Mualani, melt setups with Citlali, or simply need consistent off-field Pyro, she delivers.

Kamilo emphasizes that her Pyro application is smoother and more consistent than characters like Xiangling, which makes her essential for combos with units like Mualani. This synergy ensures that Mualani’s Vaporize reactions land perfectly without skipping beats.

Even for free-to-play players, Mavuika offers value. Many of the Natlan units that pair with her—such as Chasca, Lan, and Ororon—are 4-stars and some have even been handed out for free.

Best Teams for Mavuika in 5.7

Depending on how you build her, Mavuika’s team options vary:

  • Main DPS (On-Field) Teams:
    • Mavuika + Citlali + Xiangling + Bennett
    • Mavuika + Rosaria + Bennett + Kazuha
    • Mavuika + Kenich + Ororon + Yansan
  • Sub-DPS (Off-Field) Teams:
    • Mualani + Mavuika + Sucrose + Fina
    • Chaza + Mavuika + Kazuha + Xiangling

Kamilo notes that while her team options are somewhat constrained by Night Soul requirements, having even one compatible Natlan character opens up her full potential.

Constellations: Are They Worth It?

  • C1 is a huge quality-of-life upgrade, making her elemental burst charge 25% faster and increasing her Night Soul capacity. This alone can allow players to build more flexible teams.
  • C2 adds defense shred and increases her personal damage, which is great for both support and DPS roles—but not essential.

Kamilo suggests C1 is the ideal stopping point unless you’re a dedicated Mavuika main. C6 is, as usual, overkill for most players.

Best Weapons and Artifacts

Mavuika’s build is extremely free-to-play friendly:

  • Best Weapons:
    • Signature Weapon (if available)
    • Beacon of the Reed Sea
    • Serpent Spine
    • Mailed Flower (Event Weapon)
    • Fontaine Craftable Claymore
  • Best Artifacts:
    • On-Field DPS: Obsidian Codex (Natlan set)
    • Off-Field DPS: Scroll of the Hero of the Cinder City

Kamilo highlights that her build is straightforward: Attack Sands, Pyro Damage Goblet, and Crit Circlet, with standard substats like Crit Rate/Damage and Attack.

Final Verdict: Is Mavuika Still Worth It?

Absolutely.

Kamilo concludes that Mavuika remains one of the most valuable characters in the current meta. Her versatility, strong on-field and off-field presence, and synergy with both premium and free units make her a stellar pickup—even post-release.

While we may be nearing the end of the Natlan cycle, it’s likely that new characters from Nod Krai will still synergize with her, particularly if HoYoverse continues to expand the Night Soul system.
