Summary
A newGenshin Impactleak has revealed in-game footage featuring two upcoming five-star characters, Mavuika and Citlali, along with a popular support duo.Genshin Impacthas previously confirmed that the upcoming update 5.3 will introduce two new playable units: the long-awaited Pyro Archon, Mavuika, and Citlali.
These two characters won’t be the only additions to the roster, as HoYoverse’s official social media accounts have confirmed the arrival of another four-star character named Lan Yan.Genshin Impact’s combat system allows players to include up to four characters in their party, enabling them to combine powers to trigger various elemental reactions.
A new post on theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit hasrevealedintriguing in-game footage showing how well Mavuika and Citlali perform when placed in the same team composition as Xilonen and Bennett. This team composition relies on triggering Melt—one of the most powerfulelemental reactions inGenshin Impact, which can be achieved by combining Mavuika’s and Bennett’s Pyro attacks with Citlali’s Cryo abilities. The damage rotation shown in the video appears straightforward, as the player simply deploys the supportive abilities of Bennett, Xilonen, and Citlali before Mavuika takes over with her motorcycle attacks during her power-up state. Based on the comments, players seem very satisfied with Mavuika’s damage output in the ongoing beta phase.
Genshin Impact: Mavuika and Citlali Kits and Release Date
Since Mavuika is a claymore user, she gains additional Pyro damage buffs during Bennett’s Fantastic Voyage, provided players have unlocked all of his constellations. Like the previously released Archons, Mavuika features a highly flexible kit that allows her to fit into a variety ofteam compositions inGenshin Impact. Her abilities revolve around her motorcycle, which can be used for travel and to deal massive Pyro damage, as the leaked footage demonstrates.
Mavuika also gains additional ATK buffs if any Nightsoul Elemental Bursts are activated on the field. This suggests that she will synergize well with many characters from Natlan, as the Nightsoul system is exclusive to the Pyro nation. Regarding Citlali’s role on the battlefield, she is expected to be a new five-starsupport character inGenshin Impact, with a kit that focuses on providing shields. Her abilities allow her to apply substantial AoE Cryo damage effects that remain on the field even after she is swapped out.
At the moment, there is no credible information about Mavuika’s and Citlali’s exact release date, other than confirmation that they will debut inGenshin ImpactVersion 5.3. Given that HoYoverse typically features their most anticipated characters at the start of an update, many fans speculate that Mavuika will be featured in the first banner phase, while Citlali will appear in the second phase.
