Genshin Impact Leak Unveils Exciting Playable Character for Version 5.1 Archon Quest

A fresh Genshin Impact leak has excited fans by revealing that Mavuika, a highly anticipated character, will be briefly playable during the Version 5.1 Archon Quest. Although it's only been a short time since the release of the Natlan region in Version 5.0, several leaks have already surfaced, hinting at what players can expect in the game's next big update.

In Version 5.0, players encounter Mavuika and witness her incredible power firsthand, sparking even more excitement for the chance to play as the Pyro Archon. Genshin Impact has followed a pattern of making the nation's Archon playable during the x.2 updates. For instance, Nahida was introduced in Version 3.2, and Furina in Version 4.2. While previous rumors hinted that Mavuika wouldn't be available until Version 5.3, a new leak suggests players might get to control her sooner, albeit briefly, during the Version 5.1 update.

Details of Mavuika's Role in the 5.1 Archon Quest

According to well-known leaker HomDGCat, players will be able to play as Mavuika during the 5.1 Archon Quest. However, this version of Mavuika won’t have access to her Elemental Skills. Instead, she will summon Sacred Flames that automatically deal Pyro damage to nearby enemies. Another trusted leaker, Iris Leaks, supported this claim, adding that players will be able to use normal attacks with Mavuika, who wields a Claymore. While earlier rumors described Mavuika as a Pyro Sub-DPS character, this brief gameplay experience in the Archon Quest may offer fans a glimpse of her on-field performance.

Play as Mavuika in Version 5.1: A Rare Opportunity

In line with Genshin Impact's tradition, players usually only control characters they don't own during Story Quests or special events. Outside of these moments, they typically play as the Traveler or the characters they've added to their roster. The opportunity to play as Mavuika in Version 5.1 has stirred excitement among fans, especially with the chance to experience the Pyro Archon’s power in action.

Genshin Impact has also begun experimenting with different character perspectives in Natlan’s "Revelations From The Past" Quest in Version 5.0, where players switch between the Traveler and their companion Saurian to solve puzzles. This new approach appears to be a recurring feature moving forward.

As the next chapter of Natlan unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting what happens next in the ongoing battle against the Abyss. Many are also hoping for an appearance by the highly-anticipated character Capitano, though rumors suggest the Harbinger might not be playable during the Natlan updates. Genshin Impact Version 5.1 is expected to launch in early October, bringing with it Act 3 of the Pyro Nation Archon Quest.
