Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG developed by miHoYo. The game has now progressed to Version 6.2, with total players worldwide surpassing 100 million. In a live-service environment with constant updates, a character’s strength and real combat performance have become a major focus of player discussion.
Mavuika, a 5-star character in Genshin Impact, has maintained an ownership rate as high as 60% and consistently stable on-field performance since her debut in Version 5.3. In the current patch environment, she remains firmly in the mainstream upper tiers—pulling a copy is definitely worth it.
If you already have Mavuika and are planning to invest in building her, this guide will help you quickly get a clear roadmap. We’ll cover her weapon options, Artifact setups, upgrade materials, and team-building ideas.
Mavuika Overview
Mavuika is Genshin Impact's Pyro Archon, serving as the region's ruler and symbolic leader. Regarded as a flame of hope, she shoulders the duty of safeguarding her people's future while holding firm convictions in fire and battle.
In terms of combat role, Mavuika is a 5-star Pyro Claymore character who offers both strong burst and reliable sustained damage. She can serve as either a main Damage Per Second (DPS) or a sub DPS, excels in core reaction teams like Vaporize and Melt, and has even hit a striking 68.6% usage rate in the Spiral Abyss, making her well worth pulling and building.
If you want Mavuika at her best, it is recommended to equip her signature weapon, A Thousand Blazing Suns, and the Obsidian Codex Artifact set. With the right teammates, a single Burst can easily hit in the million range. Below, I have rounded up the weapons that suit her best, so you can pick based on your needs.
Tips: Want to pull Mavuika and her signature weapon, but do not have enough Primogems? You can top up Genesis Crystals via GamsGo to make up the difference. It can be 20% cheaper than the original price, uses standard international payment methods throughout, and is cost-effective, stable, and secure.
Best Weapons for Mavuika
To get the most out of Mavuika’s combat power, you will need a weapon that suits her well. We have compiled a list of 5-star and 4-star options that work for Mavuika, so you can choose based on your needs.
A Thousand Blazing Suns (Best Weapon)
As Mavuika’s signature weapon, it can only be obtained by wishing on the limited-time weapon banner.
Primogems needed for guarantee: 38,400
Base stats: 741 Base Attack Percentage (ATK%) and 11% Critical (CRIT) Rate
Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Thousand Blazing Suns is her best weapon because its effects perfectly match Mavuika’s kit.
After Mavuika uses her Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst, she briefly gains increased Critical Damage (CRIT DMG) and ATK. This effect lasts 6 seconds and can trigger at most once every 10 seconds. While it is active, dealing Elemental DMG with Normal Attacks or Charged Attacks extends the duration, up to a maximum of 12 seconds.
If you do not have Mavuika’s signature weapon, you can use the following 5-star alternatives. Their stats or effects can still provide a meaningful boost for Mavuika.
Beacon of the Reed Sea
This weapon can be obtained by wishing on the limited-time weapon banner.
- Primogems needed for guarantee: 38,400
- Base stats: 608 Base ATK and 33.1% CRIT Rate
- Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
When Mavuika’s skill hits an enemy, or when she takes damage, her ATK increases briefly. These two triggers are counted separately, and the effect still works while she is off the field. If the wielder is not protected by a Shield, Max HP is also increased.
Wolf’s Gravestone
This weapon can be obtained from any weapon banner.
- Primogems needed for guarantee: 38,400
- Base stats: 608 Base ATK and 49.6% ATK
- Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐
With Wolf’s Gravestone, Mavuika gains increased ATK. When her attack hits an enemy with less than 30% HP, all party members gain an ATK boost for 12 seconds. This team buff can trigger at most once every 30 seconds.
Fang of the Mountain King
Fang of the Mountain King can be obtained by wishing on the limited-time weapon banner.
- Primogems needed for guarantee: 38,400
- Base stats: 741 Base ATK and 11% CRIT Rate
- Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐
When Mavuika’s Elemental Skill hits an enemy, she gains 1 stack of a buff that increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage. This effect can stack up to 6 times. Each stack lasts 6 seconds, and each duration is tracked separately.
4-star Alternatives and Transitional Options
If you do not have a 5-star weapon for now, you can use the Battle Pass claymore Serpent Spine, which offers high CRIT Rate and a solid damage bonus. You can also run 4-star options like Rainslasher, Luxurious Sea-Lord, or Tidal Shadow, all easy to pick up through regular play and perfectly fine as transitional weapons.
Use the suggestions above to build around the weapons you already have. If your wishing resources allow, it is recommended to target A Thousand Blazing Suns.
Mavuika Signature Weapon Upgrade Materials
After you obtain Mavuika’s signature weapon, leveling it to max is key to maximizing her damage. To raise A Thousand Blazing Suns to Level 90, you will need all of the materials below.
- Blazing Sacrificial Heart series: Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Terror x5, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Hesitance x14, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Resolve x14, Blazing Sacrificial Heart's Splendor x6

With all of the materials above, you can level Mavuika’s signature weapon to max level and significantly boost her combat power.
Best Artifact Sets for Mavuika
With the right Artifacts, Mavuika can perform at her best. Below are our top Artifact recommendations for her.
Artifacts | Effects and recommended stats |
|---|---|
Obsidian Codex | Use this set when Mavuika is your main damage dealer. It improves her on-field damage output. Sands: ATK% or Elemental Mastery Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus or ATK% Circlet: CRIT DMG or ATK% Substats: CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK%, Elemental Mastery |
Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City | Use this set when Mavuika is a secondary damage dealer. It provides a damage buff for teammates. Recommended stats: Same as Obsidian Codex |
Note: Each character can equip up to five Artifacts. To activate the full set bonus, you must equip at least four pieces from the same set.
Mavuika Talent Priority and Upgrade Materials
For Mavuika’s Talent upgrades, prioritize her Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill. Normal Attack has the lowest priority and can even be left unupgraded, which helps you maximize resource efficiency without compromising her combat performance.
If you do not level Normal Attack at all and max only her Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill to Level 10, you will need:
- Contention series: Teachings of Contention x6, Guide to Contention x42, Philosophies of Contention x76
- Whistle series: Sentry's Wooden Whistle x12, Warrior's Metal Whistle x44, Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle x62

Note: Each team has four characters, labeled Slot 1 through Slot 4. Slot 1 is Mavuika by default.
Mavuika Melt Team Compositions

This team deals high damage at a fast, consistent pace.
Mavuika Vaporize Team Compositions
