Exciting times are ahead for Genshin Impact fans as a recent leak uncovers in-game footage of the eagerly anticipated five-star characters, Mavuika and Citlali. This footage not only showcases their unique abilities but also highlights their synergy with the well-loved support characters. HoYoverse previously confirmed that these two will debut in the upcoming 5.3 update, fulfilling players’ long wait for the Pyro Archon, Mavuika, and introducing Citlali as another exciting addition.
Besides these star characters, there’s also buzz about a fresh four-star named Lan Yan joining the game’s ever-expanding roster. With Genshin Impact’s combat mechanics, players have the freedom to mix and match up to four characters, crafting powerful elemental reactions and strategies to dominate battles.
A captivating clip that surfaced on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit illustrates just how Mavuika and Citlali can work wonders alongside Xilonen and Bennett. This particular team composition is a powerhouse for leveraging the Melt reaction, a devastating combination that unleashes incredible damage by pairing Mavuika’s and Bennett’s Pyro attacks with Citlali’s Cryo powers. Players in the video use Bennett’s support abilities, alongside Xilonen and Citlali, paving the way for Mavuika to unleash her commanding motorcycle attacks during her powered-up state—a spectacle that has left players raving about her potential damage output in the beta phase.
When we dive into Mavuika’s gameplay mechanics, she brings something fresh to the table as a claymore-wielding Pyro fighter. Her skill set buffs her Pyro damage in harmony with Bennett’s Fantastic Voyage, particularly if all of his constellations are unlocked. Just like previous Archons, her abilities are versatile, allowing her to fit effortlessly into various team strategies. Notably, Mavuika can utilize her motorcycle not just for traveling around quickly, but also to deliver staggering Pyro damage.
Mavuika’s power further amplifies if any Nightsoul Elemental Bursts are present on the battlefield. This feature implies her compatibility with other Natlan characters, where the Nightsoul mechanism is exclusively available. On the other hand, Citlali is poised to take on the role of a five-star support with a knack for shielding. Her toolkit is designed to unleash significant AoE Cryo damage, leaving a lasting effect that persists even when she switches out.
Right now, there’s no exact release date for Mavuika and Citlali, though their debut in Version 5.3 is confirmed. HoYoverse typically showcases highly anticipated characters early in updates, leading many to speculate that Mavuika might appear in the initial banner phase, with Citlali following in the second.
Exploring Teyvat, a vibrant and elementally rich world, is a key highlight of Genshin Impact. Players dive into a journey where they unravel mysteries, make new allies, and seek wisdom from The Seven, the elemental gods. Released on September 28, 2020, this expansive game offers features like online multiplayer, cross-save, and cross-platform play, making it accessible to a broad audience and ensuring that every adventure is as seamless as it is thrilling.
