So, we all know Natlan’s Pyro Archon, Mavuika, is already on her way to Genshin Impact. But fans are now buzzing about whether HoYoverse might sneak in another fiery heavy-hitter to join her. Let’s unpack the theories, the patterns, and why the idea of another Pyro character makes so much sense.
Spotting the Pattern
Ever noticed how Archons always seem to come with a “partner-in-crime” from the same element? Think about it:
- Venti had Jean, the dependable Acting Grandmaster.
- Zhongli was paired with Ningguang, a major figure in Liyue’s storyline.
- Furina had Neuvillette, a Hydro DPS powerhouse who ended up stealing the spotlight in Fontaine.
Redditor the_dark_artist pointed this out with a detailed chart, and the Genshin community can’t stop talking about it. It’s almost like HoYoverse is hinting at a tradition here—one they’ll continue with Natlan.
Why Another Pyro Character Makes Sense
Now, let’s talk about Mavuika for a second. The leaks about her kit have been… divisive, to say the least. While she sounds great, some players feel her abilities don’t scream “ultimate Archon versatility.” Past Archons have been team-build all-stars, but Mavuika’s rumored kit seems more situational.
This is where a second Pyro character could shine. Imagine someone designed to pair perfectly with Mavuika, making up for any perceived gaps in her playstyle. It could be the duo Natlan needs to set the meta on fire—literally.
Enter Xbalanque?
One name that keeps popping up in fan theories is Xbalanque. While we don’t have any official details, players are already dreaming up their kit: maybe a high-burst Pyro DPS or a support with unique buffs that elevate Mavuika’s team utility.
It’s worth noting that this wouldn’t be the first time a “sidekick” outshines the Archon. Just look at Neuvillette—he’s not an Archon, but his Hydro DPS capabilities made him a must-pull. Could Xbalanque follow in his footsteps?
The Community’s Take
The Genshin fandom has some mixed feelings. On one hand, they’re hyped at the thought of another powerful Pyro unit. On the other, some players worry that introducing a second Pyro powerhouse might overshadow Mavuika entirely.
Reddit, Discord, and Twitter are buzzing with debates:
- Will HoYoverse stick to the Archon pattern?
- How could this new character shake up the meta?
- And let’s not forget the big question—when will we get official confirmation?
What This Could Mean for Natlan
Adding a second Pyro character wouldn’t just spice up the lore; it’d also open up all kinds of gameplay possibilities. Imagine combining Mavuika’s rumored abilities with someone who amplifies Pyro reactions or introduces new mechanics we’ve never seen before.
This duo could set a new benchmark for synergy in Genshin Impact. Plus, it’d give Natlan the same level of depth and excitement we’ve seen in previous regions like Fontaine and Inazuma.
Final Thoughts
Whether or not HoYoverse decides to drop another Pyro powerhouse, one thing’s for sure: Natlan has everyone’s attention. If the past is any indicator, we’re in for an explosive ride—pun totally intended.
So, what do you think? Is another Pyro star on the horizon, or will Mavuika carry Natlan’s flame alone? Let me know your theories below!
