With version 5.3, Citlali and Mavuika join the playable cast of Genshin Impact characters, and it's no secret that players were particularly excited. Mavuika is expected to bring a lot of personal power with her as a Pyro Archon, but what's particularly strange is her signature weapon. Similar to what Shogun Raiden did for Polearm characters in Genshin ImpactIt is speculated that Mavuika's signature weapon is a universal option as a Claymore. On the other hand, players are less interested in Citlali's Catalyst because it is not just an alternative to Baizhu. The images of the signature weapons for Citlali and Mavuika were shared by Kei-Luna, but players can also see the stats thanks to HomDGCat.
Genshin Impact: Signature Weapons in version 5.3

- 11.0% CRIT rate
- Gain the Searing Brilliance effect when using an elemental skill or explosion effect: CRIT damage increased by 20% and ATK increased by 28% for 6 seconds. This effect can be triggered once every 10 seconds.

The signature weapon for Mavuika in Genshin Impact is suitably striking and from a visual perspective the claymore seems to evoke themes of sun and fire. In contrast, Citlali's design is far more understated, as the Catalyst appears to be inspired by a totem pole. In terms of play value, A Thousand Blazing Suns will be a sought-after weapon for most Claymore characters. In fact, early theorizing speculates that it may be Navia's best alternative to Verdict.
While there is always a chance that one of the signature weapons will be changed over the course of the beta, players should keep in mind how the weapons will be paired on the banners in version 5.3. According to the latest data, Arlecchino and Mavuika will headline the first half of the patch, while Citlali will be there Genshin Impact It is speculated that he will appear alongside Xianyun or Xiao, with the former option being preferable. This would make the weapon banner extremely valuable in the first phase of version 5.3, at the expense of the second phase with more specialized signature weapons. Version 5.3 is scheduled to be released on January 1, 2025.
