Mavuika, the Pyro Archon of Natlan, will be released in Version 5.3, which signifies an important change in pattern for Genshin Impact and how it debuts its Archon characters. Though Venti featured on the Event Banners during the launch of Genshin Impact, subsequent Archons have traditionally made their debut with the conclusion of a region's Chapter. Zhongli and Raiden were released during Version 1.1 and Version 2.1, respectively, at a time when Archon Quests were designed with three Acts in mind.
Inazuma famously ended up having pacing issues, as its storyline was too ambitious in scope to fit three Acts alone. As a result, Genshin Impact designed Sumeru and Fontaine with five Acts in mind, and thus moved Nahida and Furina by a patch to accommodate the longer Chapter format. The change was well received by players, who praised Fontaine's Archon Quest for perfecting the formula. Though the initial assumption was that Mavuika would join the playable cast in Version 5.2, it would appear that this won't be the case.
