Mavuika is therefore the pyro archon of the Natlan region and the first new 5-star character in version 5.3 of Genshin Impact. Expected for several months by players, this is a melee fighter who can ride her motorcycle to inflict heavy damage on enemies around her. Her particularity is to have very high attack multipliers which give her the highest attack among all the characters in the game. However, she needs other Natlan characters capable of consuming Nightsoul essences to be at her maximum capabilities.
Citlali, the second new 5-star character in update 5.3, is of the Cryo element. While she can provide a shield for your team, this is not her primary function. Citlali is above all capable of reducing opponents’ Pyro and Hydro defenses and promoting the melt reaction. It will therefore be necessary to play it with Pyro characters preferably or Hydro.
The traveler will also finally be able to take advantage of the pyro element and gain new abilities, notably against the new boss of the Natlan region.
