NYYYYOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!

ugur_tatli2026-01-01 20:54

I don't know what the fuck am I even doing anymore during her rotation

Arctic_The_Hunter2026-01-01 21:19

Use Bennett Burst

Use Xilonen skill and 2 normal attacks

Use Citlali Skill and Burst, then normal attack

Use Mavuika Burst and hold charged attack

Puzzlehead_Lemon2026-01-01 21:22

Disregard complication, embrace donuts.

AyeYoMobb2026-01-02 01:46

I always tell me friends if they don’t feel like learning crazy combos, just do (2 donuts and a finisher) x4 its better damage than just donuts, but not overly complicated

OneMoreShepard2026-01-01 21:57

Taking notes

Jrolaoni2026-01-01 22:57

Shouldn’t Xilonen come before Bennett since his buff is shorter?

No-Investment-9622026-01-01 23:06

I think Bennett's burst is supposed to come last in the support rotation, but his skill comes first for the buff from Citlali and Xilonen

Unevener2026-01-01 23:35

No, Citlali comes last so Mav can both melt her burst and (often) get Citlali’s Thrilling Tales buff

shride-2026-01-01 23:49

citlali is always last

you need to use her skil+burst cast to wipe the pyro aura in order to melt and if you plan to melt charge attacks you need the application to keep going and at specific times and you need to give TTDS to mavuika so you can not swap to anyone else after citlali

Lourand-72026-01-01 23:07

Yes IIRC, the normal rotation is:
Mavuika skill.
Xilo skill.
Bennet skill, burst.
Citlali skill, burst.
Mavuika Burst.
Wait a moment for cryo to reapply, then 3 donuts, cancel and repeat the 🍩 s

Telesto442026-01-01 20:58

I like the motorcycle for mobility, don’t like how it was integrated into her combat since I’d like to use her claymore… more

salty_bismuth2026-01-01 21:02

This is the reason why I ultimately decided not to wish for her.

coldestclock2026-01-01 21:12

Every time I use her for trials and find myself holding down the button and doing doughnuts I think “ah. right.”

Sufficient-Habit6642026-01-02 04:23

mavuika has the most engaging kit in the entire game since she has multiple cancel techs, and utilizes them in different ways in different teams due to ICD.

if you donut, that's on you. Mavuika accidentally became the highest skill character with the most interesting gameplay in terms of execution

oof-eef-thats-beef2026-01-01 21:26

Id have 100% pulled if she were the character in combat. Have no desire to play a bike

notcreative2ismyname2026-01-01 21:36

The problem with the motorbike is that it doesn't feel hard hitting. Feels like a diet version of Cavaliere.

d-the-luc2026-01-01 21:46

oh dude I didn't realise that before but i can't believe how much I agree with it

notcreative2ismyname2026-01-01 21:55

It's a slight Catch-22, if they added hitlag it would feel more impactful in hit but be worse to play. Could use some better sound no matter what though.

Khoakuma2026-01-01 23:22

Cavaliere is what I assumed she was gonna be like in combat once the biker aesthetic becomes obvious. Her doing donuts is not it..,

Watsons-Butler2026-01-01 23:51

The mechanics look like a ripoff of Herrscher of Reason Bronya from HI3rd…

QueenSnowTiger2026-01-01 23:51

Even when just using it to move it has no weight. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t pull her.

leviathan-judicator2026-01-01 21:57

If I ever pull her I'll play her off field support just because of that...

Iokua_CDN2026-01-01 22:55

Oof agreed.

Love the mobility. Wish she was doing big Pyro slashes with her claymore, not donuts

HilariousLion2026-01-02 00:51

Mostly agreed. For me, the donuts are easier to deal with but man, the swinging of the bike is just... awful.

And given the choice, I'd absolutely take a Kaveh style sword spin, for example, over the donuts.

solidfang2026-01-02 04:14

Honestly, if they just used last attack of her normal attack string where she throws the blade and it spins forward, I can imagine that just spinning in circles on fire instead of the motorcycle and it'd probably look great.

Khoakuma2026-01-01 23:21

Same. Like her kit design. Like using her motorcycle for mobility. Hates how they define her aesthetic around the bike and hates how it’s her main method of combat instead of violently rip and tearing with her claymore.

RaykanGhost2026-01-02 01:07

Technically she does attack with her claymore while on the bike... We just can't see it at all! (Had it been a horse type saurian it would have probably been 10x more popular, and I love the bike.)

Nerdhida2026-01-02 01:32

Yeah, all her attacks use claymore except for the dash and plunge I believe, if you slow down animations you can see that

ChaosKinZ2026-01-02 01:20

They wanted to give her a huge AOE with her slashes but it looked weird so they used the motorbike for that

Best_Estimate85862026-01-02 04:15

yeah i agree this is why i also hear people say dehya is more archon like than her, the biker.

DraethDarkstar2026-01-02 04:39

She's the only Archon-tier unit I have not and will not pull for and it's entirely because of her stupid melee animations.

SaberWaifu2026-01-01 20:59

Can't complain with the numbers, and the character design is really cool.

My biggest gripe that makes me bench her most of the time is that she uses her bike in her attack animations. Why tf is it not just an exploration ability? We could have had an awesome moveset especially considering what we've seen in the Capitano duel, instead we are forced to look at the bike even if we don't like bikes.

Ricksaw262026-01-01 21:01

VROOM VROOM

Black-----Manta2026-01-01 21:02

Was an archon puller until she released, and would've still been an archon puller if her kit was support oriented instead of DPS. Dislike pretty much everything she does

GenshinUserNo28232026-01-01 21:22

About time we got another main DPS archon

Zhongli was a shielder, Venti a sub DPS (until recently), Raiden was best played a sub DPS, Nahida a sub DPS, Furina a support. One archon has to be a main DPS.

Black-----Manta2026-01-01 21:32

I see no reason why one Archon HAS to be a main DPS, especially considering it was the one element without a dedicated 5* support. Every single pyro 5* until Durin was an on fielder

GenshinUserNo28232026-01-01 21:37

I see where you're coming from, makes sense. I think Hoyo saw it as the last opportunity to make a main DPS archon, as I don't believe the Tsaritsa will become playable, unless she has a change of heart which I doubt will happen. That's just poor planning on their part.

Also Bennett is a 5\* what you on about

Black-----Manta2026-01-01 21:43

Tsaritsa is 100% playable, cmon now. Whatever issues she has is gonna be pushed onto Pierro or Dottore or someone else instead

GenshinUserNo28232026-01-01 21:44

Predictable Impact

rider_shadow2026-01-02 01:23

Durin's kit is what she should have been

Richboyjoel2026-01-02 03:20

youarenotthatguybruh2026-01-01 21:04

Top archon , the best and most satisfying character to play , the only character im chasing for c6

ObeyLogic2026-01-01 21:08

After failing out of school, i’ve done nothing in the ten years since, other than wallow in misery and self pity. I'm past thirty as an almost always NEET, always been single, and no friends atm and everything is my fault. It's gotten to the point where the amount of effort and work I would have to put in to be normal probably isn't worth it 'cause even if I do, it would be a scenario where I couldn't possibly offer anything worth it to anyone, not as a friend or a romantic partner. And it's all my fault. Am I wrong in thinking that I can't meaningfully improve my situation to the point where I don't look absolutely pathetic compared to my peers, so there's no point in trying? I fucked up my previous attempt at therapy and have had multiple years/chances to improve but haven't, so I'm not wrong am I? I can't stop this cycle of half hearted attempts to get better and the hole I've dug myself is too deep to realistically get out of.

d-the-luc2026-01-01 21:04

I fucking hate engagement bait

GenshinUserNo28232026-01-01 21:18

Wym engagement bait?

d-the-luc2026-01-01 21:33

type "it's been 1 year since [character] released" on this subreddit. you'll find thousands of this very same low-effort unnecssary post

I say unnecssary because this type of posts don't have any worthwhile discussion to them. there is always a post about "what's your opinions on [character]?" which is usually posted 3 weeks after the update after everyone met the character in the story and built and played them. by then, everyone has an opinion to say and will have a worthwhile discussion.

this type of post is outright useless on the other hand. one year is wayyyy too little time for the perception of the public to change on a character, especially when they haven't been feautred in any event or story beyond their initial release. in the case of Mavuika a lot has changed, so this might not be a bad post, but the problem is how overdone this is. people will still have the same opinion in one year, it's way too little time for something to happen unless the character is a main character like Skirk or Mavuika. the only change that happens to the rest is meta shifts. there were other posts for characters like Emilie or Varesa which were unnesscary, and that's what I'm bringing up. Varesa hasn't gone through much besides being more meta now, and Emilie literally doesn't even exist, even one year later. the opinions that people gave to these posts is the exact same ones on the older posts, just worded a bit differently. one year is way too little for discussion-worthy things to happen, so this is just calling out to people to come and say the same thing they said last year for engagement.

something funny you'll notice is that the people behind this uninspired stuff always hide their posts because it's always a hit-or-miss kind of situation. either they get called out for how low effort the post is, or get 5k something upvotes. if you pay attention to the username, it's almost always the same handful of people too

GenshinUserNo28232026-01-01 21:35

Interesting indeed

I see what you mean

Elbicho7962026-01-01 21:53

Broo I am with you but this was my first time doing this 🥲 and the only reason why I do it is because I like Mavuika. That's why I also asked just gameplay wise I feel she has really changed in that aspect to some people for good or bad. Still thanks for sharing your opinion

RoyAhoym2026-01-01 21:58

I think one of the biggest tells is not engaging with their own discussion post too. Like if you wanna bring it up why do you have no thoughts and aren’t contributing? You could write up your own opinion or respond to comments but it’s usually nothing.

d-the-luc2026-01-01 22:00

I've never thought of that before, but that is such a good point

voxpopiuli2026-01-01 22:56

I don't see her for engagement bait but she's not _that_ fun imo.
Plus recently Durin mostly overtook her support role so ye

d-the-luc2026-01-01 22:30

pronounclown2026-01-02 04:27

So you hate 50% of this sub? Don't worry so do I.

htp-di-nsw2026-01-01 21:05

I hate fighting from the back of the motorcycle. I refuse. I only use her off field. But even though she's the strongest off field pyro, she's just not the mind blowing upgrade over Dehya I was hoping for. I wish I had skipped her.

TheFlash12942026-01-01 21:19

If your off field Mavuika isn't an upgrade on Dehya then you're probably doing something wrong...

htp-di-nsw2026-01-01 21:22

I didn't say she wasn't an upgrade, I said she wasn't a mind blowing upgrade. It was better, but not by such a huge amount that it justified the character (and my Dehya is c6 if it matters).

TheFlash12942026-01-01 21:28

Just her quickswap playstyle with burst(no doughnuts) then skill then swap should be doing at least 10x Dehya's DPS. Also applies a lot more pyro. At least that's the case for me.

At C6, she can fill her nightsoul bar herself so that's a non issue as well.

htp-di-nsw2026-01-01 21:34

My mistake, I meant Dehya C6, not Mavuika

TheFlash12942026-01-01 21:53

Mavuika should still be better as an off field support. Dehya takes field time for her DPS. Even at C6, Dehya's skill DPS is doo doo and her burst takes too much time on field.

Reddy_Fn2026-01-01 21:30

no, you're really doing something wrong (or you're just ragebaiting)

htp-di-nsw2026-01-01 21:33

I typed Mavuika C6 instead of Dehya C6 by accident

MofoPro2026-01-01 21:07

I’ll just say this , wasn’t planning on pulling for her on her first banner but after trying the demo had a lot of fun so decided to pull . Now I get doing donuts isn’t for everyone but at least it’s different than any other gameplay loop in the game

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 21:08

Fun gameplay, superb visual effects, sound effects and animations. Would have liked even more omf from the gameplay English voice acting but it is still great.

People still complaining about her bike because “muh fantasy ruined” and I laugh every time people trying to define what is and what isn’t considered fantasy.

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 21:20

And yet you failed to understand their argument.

Everytime mavuika is discussed people dislike her bikes DESIGN let me clarify DESIGN people are fine with techs we fight a fucking giant mech in sumeru for crying out loud.

Mavuikas bikes design just looks like a modern bike

GraveXNull2026-01-01 21:25

Yeah, that and how it felt off compared to the rest of the nation where the most fastest means of transportation were hot air balloons...

In Fontaine and Sumeru the technology felt better integrated into the whole nation, while in Natlan it was kinda unbalanced...like Chasca's Railgun.

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 21:31

EXACTLY!

Why do people always go to this strawman argument of tech.

Hell we had jetpacks in Chascas tribe quest and those were better integrated into the region resembling ancient dragon tech

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 21:26

Yes because modern bikes in the real world allow you to fly and spit flames everywhere running on magical power source rather than an engine and fossil fuels

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 21:29

You looked at my argument where I explicitly said design is the issue and you compared it to bikes abilities.

4 wings popping out behind the bike to fly doesn't change the design issue of the entire model.

Give me a break.

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 21:38

I don’t know where in the world you live where people run around driving bikes designed like Mavuika’s.

Fyi, everything about the bike, story, color, tech is part of its “Design”.

You want to explicitly argue Visual or Graphic Design then explicitly say so

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 21:43

Design as in visual design.

Her bike looks like a modern race bike not resembling ancient dragon tech even slightly.

I explicitly compared visuals not tech.

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 21:47

Why should it resemble ancient dragon tech? Why would Xilonen or Mavuika model it after ancient dragon tech? All Xilonen crafts are modern crafts by their standards.

You have no argument at all. Just say you don’t like it and move on. Don’t try hard to justify it with nonsense

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 22:11

Cause they are using ancient dragon tech.

Just say you like the design and move on

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 22:31

So if I decide to build a PC that has the old purple mouse input and flappy disk reader then am forced to design it with the ugly white color that turns yellow with age?

Okay, Ineffa is literally an ancient dragon tech, why does she look human and modern? Is Aino stupid? She should have designed her like ancient dragon.

Grifoshka2026-01-01 22:25

Why wouldn’t it resemble ancient dragon tech? They outright say that Xilonen crafts her one-of-its-kind gadgets by salvaging dragon tech, that’s why they can’t be mass produced.

Mavuika’s motorcycle is the only transport in Teyvat that uses rubber tires. Most of the advanced tech either levitates or walks. So either we’re saying that Mavuika/Xilonen got a brilliant idea of using rubber tires unprompted and implemented it in exactly one machine, or we’re looking at a simpler explanation that designers just used rubber tires because normal motorcycles have them without bothering to think of how to implement them. That’s the kind of thing what people usually criticize when they talk about Natlan tech design.

SpaceTimeDream2026-01-01 22:54

Ineffa is a literal dragon tech yet she doesn’t look like anything like dragon tech. Aino built Ineffa’s body around the dragon tech.

Same thing, Xilonen most likely take core components like a power source or logic unit and build on top of them.

And what is the issue with rubber tires in one machine while the other tech float or whatever? We already know and told specifically that Xilonen is good at her craft and we are told that hardly anyone understands dragon tech. And please don’t try to convince me that rubber is something far advanced for a fantasy story and characters to be producing.

So why Mavuika’s bike is one of a kind? Because Xilonen worked on it for one client. She is one person not an assembly line factory. Even if she was, who is she building the other bikes for? There is no demand.

DaShayminCorp2026-01-01 21:11

I pulled her because i was starting the game and i saw a bike, i was like ''damn thats cool'', then i saw Varesa and i never used Mavuika again

Rodrigorgm2026-01-01 21:12

Good.

AinzTheEvil2026-01-01 21:14

I want to sit on the back of her bike. Thats what I think. 😌

SakuraAndi2026-01-01 21:24

You can't sit there. That's the "bitch seat"! /s

AinzTheEvil2026-01-01 21:25

All I see is a win. 😌

Confident-Low-26962026-01-01 21:15

Really dont like how she looks nor how ridiculous the motorcycle looks in natlan but as far as gameplay goes she's pretty fun !

Nightfall_aggro2026-01-01 21:17

I pulled her day 1 and only ever played her as a scroll carrier mualani/kinich support lol

I don't even know her gameplay i just press e Q and swap off

Kpoofies2026-01-01 21:17

Hate the motorcycle, stupidest gameplay out of all characters, never pulling for her and wouldn't be even if i got paid to have her on my account

KimJLATS2026-01-01 21:17

Imo it's a missed opportunity for her to not have been the only claymore character to wield it with one hand + throw a punch at the end of the combo or have her one punch in her burst since she canonically fights like that

jibbycanoe2026-01-02 01:22

Yeah plus her sig weapon design is super cool. A certain other red haired "archon" level lady with a badass giant sword from another game basically does what you are describing and it's super satisfying. She also has a thing she rides (with legs tho) and uses it in combat and it doesn't seem out of place or weird.

beautheschmo2026-01-02 05:43

A certain red black and yellow Pyro claymore character from *this* game also looks and feels way more God of Combaty than her lol

TheFlash12942026-01-01 21:20

Most satisfying character to play just based on the combos she can do.

parthmestry2026-01-01 21:20

She's cool af. One of my first five stars. Didn't know shit about meta and powercreep, just saw the bike and her cool ass weapon and immediately pulled C0R1.

I wasnt initially sold on the constant charged attacks, but I've been learning her combos recently just for fun. I haven't attempted the complicated ones, just the CDCDCD one but it makes her gameplay so much more visually interesting. Definitely recommend trying it out if you're bored of the constant charged attacks

leaphaRo2026-01-01 21:21

Love it, I play her everyday until today, so comfy to play and super strong

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-01 21:21

Hate the bike hate the design hate the clunky gameplay resulted in me losing IT multiple times.

Overall one of the worst characters for me

leakmydata2026-01-01 21:21

The motorcycle is kinda silly and out of place, she’s kind of boring as a character, and I hate mechanics that are exclusive to new characters so you have to play teams that are all from the same region.

fairy-wale2026-01-01 23:07

You must hate nodkrai then lmao.

Also you dont have to use natlan units only with natlan characters.

Actually all of them are insanely good without natlan characters.
You basically just miss on the natlan artifact set, but its not making teams impossible to play, let alone bad.

leakmydata2026-01-01 23:58

Yeah, Lunar reactions are a massive disappointment.

rider_shadow2026-01-02 01:23

Yeah, I hate how they are paired especially in stygian, if I get one and not the other they are dysfunctional

dragosslash2026-01-01 21:21

Absolutely love her.

GraveXNull2026-01-01 21:22

Clunky as f*ck...but then again I only used her in test trials and not in overworld...and she felt weird to play.

zuhhh882026-01-01 21:23

Not for me id say (designwise). Gameplay might be good, but im not someone who cares much about meta, so. 😅

SwordfishAlone57902026-01-01 21:28

Love ❤️‍🔥

_bruuuuuuuh_2026-01-01 21:31

Does people really not realizing when she does donuts, its actually her claymore that hits the enemies not the bike?

SanicHegehag2026-01-01 21:32

I'll keep it to Gameplay only.

She's... fine? The Motorcycle Gameplay is definitely *something*, but feels floaty and weightless more than anything. Her basic combos give some level of engagement, and she plays well against single targets or tightly grouped enemies. Highly mobile, spread out, or multi wave enemies are more problematic.

I have her at C2/R2 and have considered getting C4 and putting her on Cinder City to give her more options, but I think I'll just invest more in Nod Krai characters.

Frost_Niflheim2026-01-01 21:34

I love the Devil May Cry series and Dante's antiques with motorcycles culmianting in the Cavaliere weapon on DMC5, which probably inspired her bike gameplay. She's fun to play, good for exploration and strong/versatile for combat. A great unit to have on the account.

Shatterphim2026-01-01 21:35

Doughnuts are boring.

akindertale2026-01-01 21:36

people glaze her a lot in the meta but i’ve borrowed a friend’s c6r5 mavuika and she felt kind of clunky to play? i do play on mobile but she doesn’t feel comfortable

pdmt2432026-01-01 21:36

What can I say except being one of, if not the best kit in the game. On- or off-field, DPS or support, all cool. And you can either play with your brain turned off or try to be sweaty in terms of DPS. She almost does it all lol

Multifrank5042026-01-01 21:39

Seeing the jump in power from combos to just holding charge atk is insane. I still clear with the charge atk spam but it's insane I'm losing out on crazy amounts of damage from combos.

GummyR2026-01-01 21:41

she needs more damage.

Aackland2026-01-01 21:45

so much fun, actually makes getting some oculi more bearable and her strong damage makes her a joy to use. praise be to the pyro mommy!

lonkuo2026-01-01 21:48

Got her C2R1 on her first banner and she hasnt left my teams since hahahha probably the longest i have stayed with a character and she will most likely keep being in my teams till the far future, i love her in every way

THALLDOOGO2026-01-01 21:50

very fun gameplay until Varesa got out.

killugonist_2026-01-01 21:52

love her as a character, hate what she did to genshin's meta

Chris0403022026-01-01 21:52

I'm glad people were able to find optimal combos for her that aren't just infinite donuts lol

Iokua_CDN2026-01-01 22:57

Honestly, using her charge attack eoth dash cancels and normal attacks make her feel way better than just donuts.

I wonder if she had released allowing you to only do one donut, like a normal charge attack from a sword user, if it would be better.

Thundergod2502026-01-02 02:52

Funny how people shat on her gameplay being just donuts upon release

But now if you immediately see someone doing donuts, you know they don't know what they're doing with Mavuika

geigerz2026-01-02 03:06

donuts or not her damage is absurdly high so the gameplay is braindead

if Q hits right there goes 1/4 of the boss health, she's the last character that would need sweaty gameplay in this game due to how strong they made her

Sufficient-Habit6642026-01-02 04:28

Yeah, if someone complains about her gameplay is boring, I already know not to listen to their opinion. They're either not capable of critical thinking or they're stuck in January 2025

Sure, you can criticize the aesthetics of the bike combat, but she objectively has the most in-depth and interesting gameplay in terms of execution.

Glittering-Ad-16262026-01-01 21:58

I can’t explore without her. Walking is for peasants~

danking_donut2026-01-01 21:58

NC D 4 F 123 or whatever they say about her. it's crazy how much skill expression she provides to genshin, which I'm totally down to

Sidious_092026-01-01 22:00

I still don't like her. I appreciate how people come up with all new and different kinds of combos though. I like skill expression in a character. My main issues with her gameplay are just personal preference: I find that it looks silly how she "swings" her motorcycle around and I find it monotonous to just do donuts over and over again.

I also do think that she is overpowered, and I mean that in a bad way. One of the biggest criticisms I have against Genshin is how they went from keeping a very even playing ground to just embracing powercreep. Mavuika is not the only offender, she's just the biggest one. Plus they even made her work off-field just to give her even more options.

z3phyn2026-01-01 22:07

She's as fun to play as you want her to be lol, everyone who says she's boring just holds LMB and everyone who says she's fun actually does the good combos, take from that what you will

Wide_Proposal_89522026-01-01 22:07

I love her skills, her weapon, and her motorcycle, but I don't really like her outfit; other than that, I think she's amazing.

Iokua_CDN2026-01-01 22:57

The latest event, her outfit looked way better! I wish they would do that as a skin

Melodias072026-01-01 22:11

By far the most engaging gameplay character is genshin impact when you learn her combos. All others feel numb compared to her except skirk with walk cancel combo.

nolift99kg2026-01-01 22:16

I love her gameplay , her aesthetics, her back story , the fact that she's pyro, strongest dps in the entire game till this day, best sub dps, can also buff, I mean god the only thing she can't do is heal but there's no need for that when the enemies are already dead.

HuTaosTwinTails2026-01-01 22:21

I hate her gameplay. It feels awful to me.

I legit just use her as an offield skill bot for Varesa. Playing her on field makes me want to blow my brains out.

She also powercreeped everything and set a horrible precedent, ruining the game balance

geigerz2026-01-01 22:28

powercreep rampaged up ridiculously because of her, the bike in gameplay feels like its made of plastic
the design of the crotch ziper will never make sense to me and the modern bike, well...

Cute_Style24452026-01-01 22:31

The motorbike feels weird and clunky to me...and I'm not learning any weird sweaty combos with my mouse, nope

QuickSuccession692026-01-01 22:40

I literally pulled her because her gameplay is fun. I don't care what you all think.

Master06432026-01-01 22:42

Got her c2 immediately, big fan of bike and gameplay. She is broken, flexible dps and support, favourable element, exploration queen, easy to play on mobile too, and with hard combos for tryhards. Absolute perfection, haven't been this satisfied since launch.

Baron0122026-01-01 22:43

- have the most badass looking sword in the game
- proceeds to never use it

Teodoro24042026-01-01 22:46

I was never sold on the Natlan character's gameplay.

They are good for exploration, but combat-wise i never liked them.

Mavuika isn't the exception.

MJay_O12026-01-01 22:48

I know most complain about the bike, but it's fine to me. I wish they had given her the old outfit from the Teaser or animated short

Grouchy_Gap452026-01-01 23:06

Then the motorcycle gameplay would have looked even more out of place

MJay_O12026-01-01 23:18

The bike is designed to match her bike suit outfit. If they did the same for the old outfit, it'd not look as out of place.

luxyuz2026-01-01 22:51

Still hate the motorbike and that's the main reason I didn't pull.

Embarrassed-Fly61642026-01-01 22:52

Best unit of the game.

xnekogamix2026-01-01 22:53

I can't seem to build her right, she always dies. I use her as off-field pyro for my mualani so she can hit her 200k in peace, not more.

Absolute_Bias2026-01-01 22:56

Yes.

theDaemon02026-01-01 23:00

Gameplay-wise? Amazing. Unique functionality, great synergy with natlan characters while not outright *needing* them, can help with off-field pyro application that's both consistent and easily achievable without a particle power plant, essentially exactly what we hoped for with the goddess of war.

# *But that FUCKING motorcycle visually ruins the whole thing.*

Zanzi-2026-01-01 23:01

I got her with free pulls on an alt account and I regret even giving her a chance to prove she's good.

Her mechanics are somewhat bearable for exploration but definitely the clunkiest out of all Natlan characters so far.

Combat-wise I despise using her because her controls are way too unintuitive for me. I watched tutorials but it's an absolute nightmare to force her to do anything but donuts, accidental wall climbs, and shooting off into a random direction and using up the bike time doing nothing.

The bike and body suit being ugly and in the way of the game visually adds to the stress levels of using her.

I pulled for another dps just so I don't have to use her at all.

FindAether2026-01-01 23:05

Not here to contribute to the conversation. Just here to say that I pulled Mavuika and her weapon when she released only to lose my account shortly thereafter..

Rdup2222026-01-01 23:10

I got her specifically for the mod that turns her into Zentreya (one of my favorite vtubers) and for her bike.

azul3602026-01-01 23:14

Skill gameplay is fine. On field feels meh on the bike and honestly looks so frigging dumb riding it everywhere (especially Monstadt).

senpai-yume-okami2026-01-01 23:16

Could be perfect if ES could be byke or no byke like

ES tap: ring fire dps fire and sword could be in flames
ES hold: fire byke

EB after ES tap: plunging aoe fire damage
EB after ES hold: same as now

haseo22222026-01-01 23:18

She ruined meta more than any other character in the game. Set the dos bar so high that end game is either easy/doable if you pulled her or eternal struggle if you don't have her. And of course that followed through with them releasing even more teams that can keep with her to make good sales. Older characters have never felt worse to play.

Cocogoat_Main2026-01-01 23:25

I just think she's neat

teska1322026-01-01 23:28

Those 3 sec motorbike compared to wuwa's. For an Archon not even able to compete with Sayu... shame

SonicBoom5002026-01-01 23:30

I mean, she’s fun and it was kinda helpful using her skill to drive up inclines 😆😅

Unevener2026-01-01 23:34

Give me another combo to increase my DPS by 30k please

ArtofKuma2026-01-01 23:35

Aged like wine. New tech makes her old CA feel so dull, she's super cool. I still wish she used her claymore a lot more, her NA string is just so full of personality and makes her feel so fucking powerful being able to swing a large claymore like it was a toothpick.

ReubenZedix2026-01-01 23:38

Ever since I saw her comic look, I now wished that was her main outfit, it could've been a floaty fiery horse to go along with it instead of a motorcycle. She could've fit in Natlan more that way.

RepresentativeLast662026-01-01 23:39

i like playing her ngl, it feels different from what i’m used to but it’s also a nice refresher

ThatRandomCanadianV2026-01-01 23:40

People still try to maximize her dmg with insane frame perfect inputs and I’m over here watching the chaos (I only wanted her for pyro application for Kinich, but I have Durin now so she isn’t really needed anymore)

Alan_Reddit_M2026-01-01 23:41

Great character with a great kit but absolutely DOGSHIT animations. Like dude she had such a cool fighting style during the Capitano cutscene, WHY did they throw that away

Expensive-Net-72722026-01-01 23:47

I like her off-field gameplay as a sub-DPS (however I don't like the ultimate animation). I don't like her on-field gameplay as a main-DPS.

BlxeCinna2026-01-01 23:53

Her motocycle is honestly cool asf but I honestly wouldnt pull her though. Her gameplay annoyed me a little, its just too big and I play on mobile so its sorta annoying. For me though

Her as a character, she pretty nice. The only thing I dont really like about her is her bodysuit

piichan142026-01-01 23:59

I love 🍩

Ennis_12026-01-02 00:09

I agree with one commenter awhile on her, to paraphrase: "Uses to Motorbike so much, I barely see her using her greatsword, too much bike."

13nagash132026-01-02 00:24

I still hate the bike. I hate the bike in combat. I hate the bike in a region without a single paved road. I hate the way nightsoul auto triggers when you swap characters if the first character was in nightsoul mode. I hate the burst animation.

she should fight with her claymore, she should ride an ethereal red dragon as the archon of war, not a dam street bike.

bugreport9112026-01-02 14:01

Amen to that. I'd have given her a phoenix, would be super fitting for the whole revival thing in natlan.
She is the only archon i skipped and I remain very salty about this blunder of a design choice.

I am convinced that her inflated combat strength (aka powercreep) is the only reason why she still sold well, otherwise she would more noticably take her place as the worst designed archon.

I am so glad that the design direction fully recovered with Nod-Krai and I'll bet that Columbina will become the best-selling character in the game.

_Rollups2026-01-02 00:29

Never enjoyed her playstyle, don't care that she's Meta, I don't like how she feels to play.

OftheGates2026-01-02 00:30

The truth is that people calling her clunky or uncreative literally have no idea what they are talking about. She's easily the best designed Pyro DPS in the game, but suffers from being the scapegoat for every criticism levied at Natlan and powercreeping characters people like. And even when you specify that you are discussing her gameplay, people will invariably bring up every other reason they hate her, too.

Rohit_Aoi022026-01-02 00:34

Fun as hell,
Strong as hell,
Only of my favourite gameplay and animation wise,
HOT as hell.

lazytanaka2026-01-02 00:41

The strongest archon runs her enemies over with a motorcycle instead of using her actual physical strength. Why didn’t she fight using her motorcycle against the captain?

GazelleSC2026-01-02 00:52

I still don't know how to do her combos, and at this point, I can't be arsed

masterdiwa2026-01-02 01:07

PEAK and more PEAK.

roving_band_of_pikes2026-01-02 01:10

Powerful, borderline-OP. Not the biggest fan of the bike; it's okay for combat and useful (albeit kinda clunky) for mobility.

Honestly, I find her *far* more useful for off-field Pyro and the occasional Nightsoul dmg gimmick like the Natlan weekly.

also, ty for crediting the photographer :)

Dry-Intern5192026-01-02 01:20

Pulled for her ( *I collect the Archons* ), tried her out several times, hated the gameplay.

wallpressure72026-01-02 01:33

One of the coolest and most complex characters we got.

AccomplishedButton622026-01-02 02:04

For a world that is apocalyptic. Why does she ride a motorbike

Mehreaa2026-01-02 02:19

I hate her overall animation sets and the vibe she is giving. And she does not deserve that much damage and power. She should have been god of WAR instead of some biker girl. Mentioning the animation set before, there is no weight oj her attacks. Yes she has strong muscles in lore but why swinging claymore with weak attacks? They could have give more hard attacks instead of that. Also, charged attack is nice but not enough power vibes ahhhh pls buff ayaka xd

Icy-Principle81482026-01-02 02:32

still meta

UrbanAdapt2026-01-02 02:41

I feel the same way now that I did originally. It feels like you're controlling the bike and not the character on the bike.

Also, it's has become clear that they did not playtest this character enough, given all the janky new combos that have popped up (that still revolve around CA, ugh).

genshin_impact-2026-01-02 03:00

WHY DOES SHE MAGICALLY HAVE SOME NEW GAMEPLAY TECH EVERY PATCH!?

Demmitri2026-01-02 03:21

One of the worst mistakes ever made, the bike is awful.

Flair862026-01-02 03:21

Boring, her donuts are super lame.

Tactical_Hentai_Acc2026-01-02 03:31

Trash

m0ng00se332026-01-02 03:41

Pulled for her and citlali day one
The game is substantially worse as a game with this unit in it but they can't nerf her cos of gacha law, the ultimate is a fun big hit but doing donuts sucks
also Dehya is a much better look for the Pyro Archon

Kaze_no_Senshi2026-01-02 03:41

Idk but I want the comic skin version of her

HK-532026-01-02 03:52

"i wonder what kind of sick fire skills and attacks the pyro archon will have, maybe lava swords, fire balls, or some kinda sick plasma blade"

MHY "B I K E"

Fragrant_Kangaroo7112026-01-02 04:14

Personally I didn't care much for her character or gameplay as she was just another dps pyro claymore. The bike was a choice and you can tell they were experimenting. I didn't really care for it, and it felt more clunky compared to other natlan characters.

She does big dmg, if you're a meta player or just like nuke characters. I can see how she's appealing in that aspect.

I usually like playing coop and mavuika is probably the least used Archon for just exploration or bosses. Which is surprising but it makes me think people purely use her for like the abyss and just bench her.

SeverosMyst2026-01-02 04:16

She's Pyro Raiden but more restrictive, with exploration QOL shoehorned into her kit. Its meh, all things considered. Doesnt really stand out, honestly.

Edit: She also started one of the most toxic trends in this game (pull this character to make x character viable in spiral abyss, and also SO now) so I kinda dont like her for that either. Also ruined the end game by making half the cast unable to keep up, so thats cool.

Casserole_Lasagna2026-01-02 04:18

Least f2p friendly archon teamwise. I shouldn't need 2 other limited 5 stars for a character to be decent

WolfySpice2026-01-02 04:28

Fine, I don't really use her much. I need to actually learn more than press E or do donuts. I kind of prefer to use my C6 Dehya (or both together).

asiantaxman2026-01-02 04:52

I’m a simple guy, I see super saiyan hair, I pull the character. But I do echo others, I find the motorcycle weird and wish her claymore gets used in her kit more, it’s such a badass looking sword.

mr_enderman9872026-01-02 05:00

powercreep

DrkrZen2026-01-02 05:41

Love her even more. She's just fun. Plus, everything I wanted her to be.

nerd_reader_51592026-01-02 06:19

I hate the bike

REKLA52026-01-02 06:23

Clunky af. Even something as simple as farming ores/crystals is annoying with how often she gets caught up on the most random stuff, or doesn't go exactly where you want her to go. She's just so un-precise that she takes way longer than the average claymore user since she's never doing exactly what you're wanting her to.

FateBreaker922026-01-02 06:23

Yeah. I still don't like her. I mean, I got her claymore, C1 to make her fill up her fighting spirit faster and thus more flexible and even got her premium team and I... still don't like her.

I wanna like her as a character, I do. I wanna like the big bike in battle but no. I think I just really associate her as that Mary Sue who exponentially ruined the balance of the game.

For now, I see her as just a necessary evil: used whenever an endgame content cannot be cleared by other characters.

A_Fhaol_Bhig732026-01-02 09:23

Love her face, eyes, and hair.

Hate literally everything else about her design and kit.

i_am_pe12026-01-02 10:41

Love her motor for exploration, but holy fuck I hate that we have to use it for combat

Helgen_2026-01-02 10:41

I love her as a character, she is strong and charming. I love her being the n1 dps in the game as the Pyro archon. I love her dual playstyle, either best dps in the game or a super strong off field sub dps/buffer.

Sadly I will never pull for her bcz:

1. I can't understand her outfit in a land full of saurian and nature. It's not a bad design but it doens't fit the Natlan vibe for me (the same happened with Xilonen, Kinich or Varesa). I think Iansan, Citlali and even Mualani fit better in the region.

2. I don't like her byke at all. I can't imagine myself riding the bike while exploring Mondstadt, Inazuma or Chenyu.... It is out of place for me.

3. Durin happened. No byke, no modern outfit, no Nightsoul mechanic and no 47584939 combos. He might be worse as a main dps but I still prefer his gameplay 100 times more than the bike.
