Summary
An interesting leak suggests thatGenshin Impactfans may receive a very important update on August 03, 2025. HoYoverse has a tight update schedule, with every new version of the game arriving approximately every six weeks. TheseGenshin Impactupdates are also divided into two banner cycles, each featuring a unique set of limited characters.
The ongoing Phase 2 ofGenshin Impactupdate 5.1 features two very popular five-star characters, the Sumeru Archon Nahida and Liyue’s Hu Tao. They will be available for around three more weeks, after which HoYoverse is expected to introduce the new five-star character, Chasca.
While there is a lot of hype around Chasca’s release date, many players will probably skip her banner to save Primogems for another character rumored to be arriving with update 5.3. A recentposton theGenshin ImpactLeaks subreddit has revealed the speculated release dates for upcoming updates. According to the leak,Genshin ImpactVersion 5.3is expected to arrive on June 11, 2025. This update is anticipated to include the long-awaited Pyro Archon, Mavuika, who has already made multiple in-game appearances. While HoYoverse has yet to confirm her official release date, it’s safe to assume that she will be part of the first banner cycle, as Genshin Impact almost always features popular characters at the start of an update.
Genshin Impact: Mavuika Kit Expectations
As mentioned, Mavuika has been featured in Natlan’s main storyline on multiple occasions. Regarding her element, she is expected to be a newPyro character inGenshin Impact, considering that Natlan is known as the Pyro nation. While her exact weapon type is still to be confirmed, in-game cutscenes have portrayed her as a claymore user, which would make her the first Archon to wield this weapon type.
As for her personality, Mavuika is revealed to be a powerful yet caring character who is deeply committed to the people of Natlan.RecentGenshin Impactleakssuggest that Mavuika will be a highly offensive character, with an Elemental Skill that has both press and hold variations. Pressing the skill will turn her weapon into a Sun Torch, allowing her to throw fireballs, likely dealing AoE Pyro damage. Holding her skill will grant Pyro infusion to her Normal Attacks.
Mavuika can also use her skill to ride a motorcycle, which isn’t surprising given that many playable characters from Natlan have unique movement mechanics integrated into their kits. The most reliable leak about her kit is that Mavuika will useGenshin Impact’s Nightsoul system, a mechanic unique to Natlan characters.
