Summary
- Mavuika, a fan-favorite Archon in Genshin Impact, offers unique exploration with C6 ability.
- Mavuika's C6 ability allows travel from Mondstadt to Liyue using the Flamestrider motorcycle.
- Fans hope for mount releases in future updates, enhancing the exploration experience in Genshin Impact.
A new Genshin Impact video showcases an interesting feature exclusive to the recently released five-star character Mavuika. Since her reveal, Mavuika has quickly become a fan-favorite character due to her importance to the Natlan arc. As a Genshin Impact Archon, Mavuika serves as the region's primary protector.
This Genshin Impact character arrived as part of update 5.3 and is currently available on the Limited Character Banner. Mavuika is not the only five-star character released in this update, as she shares the banner with the new Cryo support character, Citlali, who has also made multiple appearances in the current storyline. The arrival of an Archon is always a significant event in Genshin Impact since they are known as some of the most powerful playable units, both in terms of lore and gameplay.
Genshin Impact Leaks Reveal Powerful New Free Weapon for Update 5.4
A new Genshin Impact leak reveals a free four-star polearm that should be available for free during the next Weapon Event in Version 5.4.
The same can be said of Genshin Impact's Pyro Archon, who has already proven to be an S-tier pick in multiple roles. To maximize a character's potential, players often need to acquire its constellation levels, which can be done by pulling for multiple copies of the same playable unit. A new post on the official Genshin Impact subreddit reveals that players who managed to get Mavuika to C6 can travel from Mondstadt to Liyue using her unique motorcycle, known as Flamestrider, which can be summoned by holding her Elemental Skill. Mavuika's final Constellation Level allows her to recharge her Nightsoul points to 80 when they drop low enough. As shown in the video, in combination with the rest of Mavuika's kit, this C6 ability enables her to continuously use her Flamestrider.
Genshin Impact Video Shows Mavuika's C6 Exploration Potential
The post garnered significant attention in the community, reaching over 3.5k upvotes, with many players claiming they will try to get the Pyro Archon to C6 during this or her next banner appearance. Many fans have pointed out that having alternative travel options significantly enhances Genshin Impact's exploration experience, which is one of the game's core features.
Some fans hope that the game's recent focus on incorporating similar abilities into Natlan's characters might be HoYoverse's way of testing for mount releases in future Genshin Impact updates. Since the game's launch back in 2020, players have been requesting mounts that would allow for out-of-combat travel. However, the developer has yet to make any official announcements on the matter.
Besides being one of the best exploration characters in Genshin Impact, Mavuika is also widely regarded as the best five-star character released in Natlan so far. Even though she might not be as versatile as some of the previously released Archons, Mavuika remains an excellent choice for most team compositions that require a powerful Pyro user.
