Why Mavuika Changes Everything
Previous limitations:
- 6s decay timer seemed impractical for burst DPS
- Crimson Witch offered unconditional bonuses
- Burning teams underperformed vs Vaporize
Mavuika's advantages:
- Ring of Searing Radiance: 500% ATK AoE Pyro every 3s (perfect for maintaining Burning)
- Off-field compatibility accumulates 50% bonus while teammates apply Dendro
- Base stats: 359 ATK, 88.4% CRIT DMG ascension (18% ATK = ~65 ATK boost)
Burning Synergy Explained
Burning = Pyro + Dendro, dealing damage 4 ticks/second without consuming aura immediately.
Mavuika's application pattern:
- Flamestrider: 200% ATK AoE Pyro
- Ring of Searing Radiance: 500% ATK every 3s
- 3s intervals refresh Burning before 6s decay window
- AoE coverage maintains multi-target Burning
Burn-Melt mechanics: Burning's persistent Pyro aura enables reverse Melt (Cryo on Pyro = 1.5x). Creates triple damage:
- Burning DoT (4 ticks/s)
- Reverse Melt 1.5x on Cryo attacks
- Unfinished Reverie's 50% DMG bonus
Damage Comparison vs Meta Sets
vs Obsidian Codex
- Obsidian wins in pure single-target (12-18% higher) without Burning
- Unfinished Reverie surpasses at 80%+ Burning uptime after 4.5s ramp
- Multi-target favors Unfinished Reverie
vs Crimson Witch
- Crimson Witch dominates Vaporize teams (20-25% higher)
- Unfinished Reverie wins in Burning-exclusive scenarios
- 50% DMG bonus at max stacks > Crimson's Pyro DMG increases
Unfinished Reverie excels when:
- Fights last 20+ seconds
- Consistent Dendro application (Emilie/Nahida)
- 3+ grouped enemies
- Reaction-focused builds with EM
Spiral Abyss Floor 12: Clear times within 5-8% of meta Vaporize teams with better survivability.
Farming cost:
- 60-80 runs: Functional 4pc set
- 120-150 runs: Optimized substats
- 200+ runs: Near-perfect pieces

Optimal Artifact Stats
Main stats priority:
- Sands: ATK% (EM viable in pure Burning teams with 30%+ reaction damage)
- Goblet: Pyro DMG%
- Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG (target 70% CR, 140% CD)
Substat priority:
- CRIT Rate/DMG (1:2 ratio)
- ATK%
- EM (100-200 for Burning contribution)
- ER (120-160% based on team)
Energy Recharge thresholds:
- 120-130%: Consistent particle generation
- 130-145%: Standard Burning teams
- 145-160%: Energy-starved rotations
Set combinations:
- 4pc Unfinished Reverie: Mandatory for Burn-Melt
- 2pc Unfinished + 2pc Crimson: Unconditional bonuses (18% ATK + 15% Pyro DMG)
- 2pc Unfinished + 2pc Gladiator: 36% ATK for simplicity
Burn-Melt Advanced Strategy
Execution sequence:
- Dendro foundation (Emilie/Nahida)
- Pyro ignition (Mavuika triggers Burning)
- Controlled Cryo pulses (Ganyu/Wriothesley for 1.5x Melt)
Frame-perfect timing:
- 0-3s: Off-field for 4pc activation
- 3-8s: Establish Burning, ramp to 50% bonus
- 8-15s: Cryo attacks during max bonus window
- 15s+: Refresh Dendro/Pyro
Risks:
- Desync breaks Burning, resets stacks
- Energy management across 4 characters
- Positioning demands for Burning range
- High investment requirements
Rewards: Optimal execution achieves 90-95% of Vaporize DPS with superior sustained damage.
Best Team Compositions
Pure Burning: Mavuika + Kinich + Emilie + Bennett
- Mavuika: Pyro applicator, Unfinished Reverie 4pc
- Kinich: Dendro DPS, passive boosts damage under Burning
- Emilie: Multi-target Dendro marks
- Bennett: ATK buff, healing, Pyro particles
Rotation: Bennett Burst → Emilie Skill → Wait 3s → Mavuika Skill → Kinich Skill → Mavuika Burst
Result: 85-90% Burning uptime
Burn-Melt: Mavuika + Emilie + Ganyu/Wriothesley + Bennett
- Adds Cryo for reverse Melt triggers
- 65-75% Burning uptime (Cryo interference)
- 8-12% higher total DPS when executed correctly
Budget: Mavuika + Dendro Traveler + Collei + Bennett
- Free Dendro enablers
- 70-80% Burning uptime
- 15-25% slower clears but competitive
Rotation Guide
Standard Burning (14-16s cycle):
- Bennett Burst (2s)
- Emilie Skill (1.5s)
- Wait 3s (4pc activation)
- Mavuika Skill (2s)
- Kinich Skill (3s)
- Mavuika Burst (2.5s)
- Repeat
Burn-Melt with Ganyu:
- Bennett Burst (2s)
- Emilie Skill (1.5s)
- Wait 3s
- Mavuika Skill (2s)
- Wait 2s (ramp to 30-40%)
- Ganyu Charged Attacks (4s, trigger Melt)
- Mavuika Burst (2.5s)
Common mistakes:
- Skipping 3s activation window
- Excessive Cryo (breaks Burning)
- Insufficient ER
- Poor positioning vs mobile enemies
Weapon Recommendations
5-star priorities:
- CRIT Rate/DMG secondaries for stat balance
- High base ATK with ATK% secondaries
- EM secondaries (rare but valuable for Burning)
4-star alternatives:
- Serpent Spine: CRIT Rate + stacking DMG bonus
- Prototype Archaic: Craftable, ATK% secondary
- Rainslasher: EM secondary (limited in pure Burning)
Refinement priority:
- 5-star R1→R5: 12-18% damage increase (low priority)
- 4-star R5 often matches R1 5-star (Serpent Spine R5 competitive)
Spiral Abyss Performance
Floor 12 clear times (50+ runs):
- Chamber 1 (multi-target): 45-55s (8-12% slower than meta, 15-20% faster than non-optimized)
- Chamber 2 (mixed): 50-60s (within 10% of meta at 80%+ Burning)
- Chamber 3 (boss): 55-70s (15-20% slower than single-target specialists)
Damage metrics:
- Average team DPS: 35,000-42,000 (optimal conditions)
- Peak burst windows: 55,000-65,000 (max stacks + Bennett)
- Sustained DPS: 28,000-35,000 (suboptimal)
- Meta comparison: 40,000-50,000 sustained (Burning = 80-90%)
Best scenarios:
- 3+ grouped enemies
- 20+ second fights
- Sustained pressure over burst checks
Avoid:
- Pyro-immune enemies
- Highly mobile bosses
- Time-sensitive burst checks
Common Misconceptions
Myth: Only good for Dendro characters Reality: Works equally on Mavuika with consistent Pyro application. Early testing created association bias.
Myth: Can't compete with Vaporize Reality: Achieves 80-95% of Vaporize DPS in optimal scenarios. Damage distribution differs (sustained vs burst).
Myth: Requires C6 Mavuika Reality: C0 achieves 75-85% of C6 performance in Burning teams. Constellations enhance but aren't mandatory.
Investment reality:
- 60-150 domain runs
- 80-95% meta DPS (optimal), 70-85% (suboptimal)
- Unique gameplay variety
- Future-proof for Burning characters
Final Verdict: Should You Farm It?
Farm Unfinished Reverie if you:
- Own Emilie/Kinich (dual-set domain efficiency)
- Enjoy reaction gameplay
- Face multi-target content
- Want future-proof investments
Skip if you:
- Have optimized Crimson Witch/Obsidian (35+ CV pieces)
- Prioritize absolute max DPS
- Lack Dendro supports
Alternative: 2pc Unfinished + 2pc Crimson for 80-85% performance without full commitment.
Future potential: Version 5.7 Phase 2 (July 8-29, 2025) may introduce Burning-focused characters, increasing set value.
