5.3 Genshin Impact Characters Are Pyro Archon Mavuika and Citlali

As is typical for Genshin Impact and HoYoVerse, we now know that the Natlan Pyro Archon Mavuika and Citlali will be playable characters in 5.3. The company took to social media to tease both new units. There are brief video clips for them, as well as short summaries detailing their background and what to expect from them.

First, the Mavuika posts describe the Pyro Archon as a “sun” that won’t set in Genshin Impact. It also references how she performs the Pilgrimage of the Return fo the Sacred Flame in the nation. The Knights of Favonius Grand Master Varka also mentioned he met her in a second tweet. As expected, she’ll by a Pyro unit with the Sol Invictus Constellation and Night-Igniting Flame title.

As for Citlali, the summaries about the Genshin Impact heroine bring up how she’s the Grannt Itztli and Obsidian Opalstar who lives a rather isolated life. However, rather than being totally terrifying, she’s hidden away snacking and reading light novels. The only person to talk about the Cryo character known as the Stargazer of Mictlan is Mavuika, who said she should have become a chief.

The two current characters you can get in 5.2 are Chasca and Lyney. After that, Neuvillette and Zhongli will appear on banners again on December 11, 2024.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and it seems we’ll see Mavuika and Citlali as playable characters in 5.3.
