Mavuika Upgrade Materials Guide: Genshin Impact 5.3

Genshin Impact's Patch 5.3 introduces a thrilling new character—Mavuika, a Pyro vision-wielder that promises to set the battlefield ablaze. But like any new 5-star character, upgrading Mavuika to her full potential requires a lot of materials, and they can be quite tricky to collect. If you're wondering how to power up this fiery new hero, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about obtaining Mavuika’s upgrade materials.

1. Agnidus Agate: The Pyro Essentials

As expected for a Pyro character, Mavuika’s ascension requires the familiar Agnidus Agate family of materials. These are gathered from various bosses and are crucial to leveling her up.

  • Agnidus Agate Sliver – 1
  • Agnidus Agate Fragment – 9
  • Agnidus Agate Chunk – 9
  • Agnidus Agate Gemstone – 6

To farm these materials, you’ll need to defeat several bosses, with the most notable being the Pyro Hypostasis in the Sumeru region. Be sure to stock up on these materials as you level her up, as they will be in high demand for both her ascension and her skills.

2. Saurian-Crowned Warrior’s Whistles: A Wild Hunt for Whistles

In addition to the Agnidus Agate materials, Mavuika’s ascension requires Sentry's Wooden Whistle, Warrior's Metal Whistle, and Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle. These can be obtained by defeating the Sauroform Tribal Warriors scattered across Teyvat. Here’s how much you’ll need for each stage:

  • Sentry's Wooden Whistle – 18
  • Warrior's Metal Whistle – 30
  • Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle – 36

To track down these whistle-producing warriors, head to Natlan, where you'll find different variants of Sauroform Tribal Warriors. These tribal warriors are your best bet for collecting the necessary whistles.

3. Withering Purpurbloom: Natlan’s Hidden Treasure

If you’re a seasoned Genshin Impact player, you know that region-specific materials are sometimes the hardest to gather. Mavuika requires Withering Purpurbloom, which can only be found in the Ochkanatlan region of Natlan.

You’ll need 168 Withering Purpurbloom to ascend Mavuika all the way to level 90. Be prepared to do a fair amount of exploring in Natlan's lush yet dangerous landscapes to gather this material in bulk.

4. Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core: A High-Tech Harvest

In another twist, Mavuika also requires the Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core to reach max level. This high-tech core is dropped by the boss Secret Source Automaton ("Configuration Device") found in the Toyac Springs area of Natlan.

You’ll need to collect 46 Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores in total to fully upgrade Mavuika from level 1 to 90. Keep an eye out for these Automaton enemies and plan your farming route accordingly.

5. Teachings of Contention: The Path to Mastery

Upgrading Mavuika’s skills requires more than just material items. You’ll need to farm for the Teachings of Contention, Guide to Contention, and Philosophies of Contention to level up her Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst.

Here’s how much you’ll need:

  • Teachings of Contention – 9
  • Guide to Contention – 63
  • Philosophies of Contention – 114

These materials are obtained from the Blazing Ruins Domain located in the Coatepec Mountain region of Natlan. Get ready to spend some time in this domain grinding for these essential upgrade materials.

6. Crown of Insight: Maxing Out Mavuika’s Potential

To fully max out Mavuika’s skills, you’ll need to gather Crown of Insight, one of the most coveted items in Genshin Impact. You’ll need 3 Crowns of Insight to upgrade her skills to the maximum level. These can be obtained during in-game events and by upgrading certain regional elements, so make sure to keep an eye on these opportunities as they come up.

Where to Farm Mavuika’s Materials: A Quick Recap

  • Pyro Hypostasis (for Agnidus Agate materials)
  • Sauroform Tribal Warriors (for Whistles)
  • Ochkanatlan (for Withering Purpurbloom)
  • Toyac Springs (for Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core)
  • Blazing Ruins Domain (for Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Contention)
  • In-Game Events/Regional Upgrades (for Crowns of Insight)

Final Thoughts

Mavuika is shaping up to be one of the most exciting characters to play in Genshin Impact, but unlocking her full potential will take time and dedication. Gather the necessary materials, tackle the new Natlan bosses and domains, and you’ll soon have her maxed out and ready to incinerate her enemies with Pyro-powered fury.

Be sure to stay updated with the latest patch notes and events, as new opportunities for farming these materials will continue to pop up. Happy farming, Travelers, and may your Mavuika shine brightly in battle!
