As Mavuika returns in Genshin Impact Version 5.7’s second half, the community is once again asking—is she still the strongest DPS in the game? According to Jello Impact, the answer is a resounding yes. This guide compiles the most crucial insights from over 500 viewer questions, helping you decide whether to pull for Mavuika and how to make the most out of her if you do.

Updated Mavuika Build Guide

Best Weapon:
Mavuika’s signature weapon, Codex of Ascension, remains her best-in-slot for personal damage. It synergizes perfectly with her playstyle and amplifies both her burst and charge attack potential.

Artifacts:

  • Main Set: Song of Days Past or Finale of the Deep Galleries (for burst-focused play).
  • Stat Priority: EM/ATK Sands (based on team), Pyro DMG Goblet, Crit DMG Circlet.
  • Substat Goals: ~40% Crit Rate, ~200% Crit DMG, >200 Elemental Mastery.

For vape and melt teams, Elemental Mastery Sands are usually optimal unless she’s already surpassing 400 EM. Overload and Navia-focused comps should opt for ATK Sands instead.

Talent Priority:

  • Crown her Burst.
  • Skill is crown-worthy only for min-maxers or high-end clears like Dire Topa.

Constellation Breakdown:

  • C1: Offers minor damage gains and quality-of-life for building Fighting Spirit faster. Not essential.
  • C2: Game-changing. Grants defense ignore to the whole team (like Raiden’s C2), significantly boosting team DPS. If you want a real upgrade beyond her weapon, this is it.

Free-to-Play and Support Builds

Although Mavuika excels as a main DPS, her burst provides team-wide buffs and off-field Pyro application, allowing her to function as a dual DPS or supportive nuke.

Good F2P weapons:

  • Mailed Flower (for EM-based builds)
  • Tidal Shadow
  • Serpent Spine (with stacks)
    These options make her viable even at C0 with no signature weapon.

Best Mavuika Teams (Melt, Vape, Overload, Support)

🔥 Melt Teams (Her strongest archetype)

  • Core: Mavuika, Bennett, Citlali (for Cryo app)
  • 4th Slot Options: Shalonin, Sucrose, Diona, Rosaria, Escafier
  • Notes: Shalonin enables multi-wave synergy and builds Fighting Spirit fast. Sucrose can be viable with Cryo-infused burst tech.

💧 Vape Teams

  • Core: Mavuika, Bennett, Fina (or Yelan/Xingqiu), Shalonin
  • Tips: Fina is ideal for consistent vapes. Without her, players may need to weave in normals with Xingqiu/Yelan.

⚡ Overload Teams

  • Core: Mavuika, Arlecchino (or Clarand), Yansan, Chevreuse
  • Notes: Chevreuse C4 is ideal for consistent Overload. Auroron or Yae Miko are also good Electro supports.

🧱 Geo Dual DPS (Navia Synergy)

  • Core: Mavuika, Navia, Shalonin, Bennett
  • Combo: Open with Mavuika’s Skill > Shalonin’s Skill > Navia’s Burst. Funnel energy to Navia and rotate into Mavuika to burst and charge attack.

🐉 Kenich Teams

  • Core: Kenich, Mavuika, Yansan, Escafier or Emily
  • Tech: Mavuika supports Kenich via AoE Pyro and team buffs. Deepwood may be run on Mavuika if no other holder exists.

Advanced Combos & Playstyle Tips

Mavuika’s melt combo is deceptively simple:
Charge x3 → Jump Slam → Dash → Repeat

The vape combo, however, is more advanced and ideal for enemies like Tulpa:

  • Charge Attack → Dash Cancel → Triple Click Normal → Repeat

Players interested in high-end mechanics should look into community resources or join Jello’s Discord for tech discussions.

Is Mavuika Still Worth Pulling in 5.7?

Mavuika remains a top-tier investment, even without constellations or her weapon. If you own her and Citlali, you’re set for most content. She dominates Spiral Abyss, Imaginary Theater, and most of Stygian Onslaught.

Best in slot roles:

  • Overload Clarand teams
  • Melt carry comps
  • Navia dual DPS
  • Kenich burst flex team

Final Verdict: Should You Pull Mavuika?

Pull Mavuika if:

  • You want the strongest generalist DPS in the game.
  • You already own Citlali or plan to get her.
  • You want a DPS that remains relevant through future regions like Nod Krai.

Skip her if:

  • You don’t enjoy her bike-based movement style.
  • You lack Pyro/Cryo supports and don’t plan to build them.
  • You’re saving for upcoming characters like Colombina or Alice.

Mavuika isn’t a must pull for all accounts, but she’s certainly one of the most future-proof DPS characters in Genshin Impact.
