Hoping Mavuika doesn’t set a precedent

Depending on how well Mavuika’s banner sells, it might push them to do similar things in the future with making restricted mechanics and I hope they don’t. Contrary to popular belief I think most Natlan characters are very f2p friendly and not hindered by their kit. Chasca doesn’t need any specific teammates, Mualani and Kinich focus on pyro reactions making them easy to get teammates for (they give Xiangling for free), and Xilonen is universal support. Mavuika is not flexible, she’s like furina but worse cause while furina has access to many meta healers, Mavuika has like 3 characters she can use as of 5.3.

I’m hoping this doesn’t start a pattern of creating anticipated characters with restrictions to sell more units like a C1 not being a buff but a fix to a characters kit (chiori, wrio, hu tao). Imagine the cryo archon gives a big hp/attack/defense buff based on what unit you are BUT you can only get said buffs by using fatui members or characters with delusions (and her BiS is running alongside her)

Nightsoul isn’t bad and encourages (but doesn’t require) you to use some teammates but Mavuika is like the worst version of this.
