Mavuika vs Emilie in Genshin 5.7 Phase 2: Whom should you choose?
With Genshin Impact 5.7 Phase 2 banners running from July 8 to 30, 2025, players are once again caught in the dilemma, pulling for the fearsome Pyro Archon Mavuika or the niche. Both 5-stars come back on a double rerun banner accompanied by a fire lineup of 4-stars like Iansan, Xiangling, and Yaoyao. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If you're hoarding Primogems, picking smart is essential. Here's a closer look at who's worthy of your wish. Mavuika: A Powerhouse with Versatility Mavuika is not merely a hard-hitting Pyro claymore wielder, she is the Pyro Archon. Her on-field damage output is massive, thanks to the 'Fighting Spirit' mechanic and her ability to deal damage aligned with Night Soul. Her Elemental Burst provides crushing Pyro AoE, and she flourishes as a team carry when sufficiently supported. She slots best in Night Soul comps, which can be a bit more niche to build, but even beyond that, her pure damage output and flashy kit make her worth the investment. F2P players win as well. Mavuika plays great with readily available weapons and doesn't necessarily require premium swords to dazzle. If you want a top-tier DPS that will still be good in future content, Mavuika is the way to go. Emilie : Burning Specialist with Specific Needs Emilie, the 5-star Dendro polearm user, is a more situational choice. She performs well off-field in Burning teams, and her skillset rewards players who like to play reaction-heavy comps. Beyond that, her damage drops off steeply, and she has no utility. The excellent news! Emilie is cost-effective, doesn't require top-tier equipment, and pairs excellently with characters like Xiangling and Bennett. To really optimize her, you'll need to craft a whole team around setting off Burning regularly—which may not be everyone's style. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Fantastic if you're heavy on the Dendro-Pyro synergies, but less than optimal for more general content. What's with the 4-star lineup? And even if you're not rooting for the 5-stars, this banner's 4-stars loaded with value. Iansan is a great support with Constellations bringing real utility. Xiangling is still a meta staple, and Yaoyao provides consistent healing for Dendro teams. This renders the Phase 2 banner worthwhile even for players who aren't specifically aiming for Emilie or Mavuika. Banner Review - Mavuika, Emilie, and Weapons | Genshin Impact 5.7 When Emilie has her fans, Mavuika provides more value to a wider audience. Her strength, versatility and enjoyable mechanics make her a valuable asset to most lineups. Unless you're assembling a devoted Burning squad, Mavuika is the more secure and more powerful pull in Genshin Impact Variation 5.7 Phase 2.

5 best team compositions for Skirk in Genshin Impact
(Image via miHoYo) Skirk's finally here, and she's every bit the icy menace we hoped for. With her Cryo swordplay and normal attack-focused kit, she thrives when surrounded by off-field Hydro and Cryo allies. But let's be real, not every Cryo/Hydro duo will do the trick. If you want Skirk to hit like a truck and freeze the field in style, you need the right squad. Here are the 5 best team comps to bring out her inner beast 1. Skirk + Furina + Escoffier + Shenhe This is the ultimate Skirk lineup. Furina rains Hydro from the sidelines while Escoffier heals and debuffs enemies like a multitasking queen. Shenhe is your personal Cryo damage steroid, buffing Skirk's every slash. Team: Skirk = Main DPS Furina = Hydro spam + Team-wide buffs Escoffier = Cryo support + healing Shenhe = Cryo buffer + RES shred Best for : Boss melting, Spiral Abyss domination, and maximum Skirk flexing. DON'T BUILD HER WRONG! Best Skirk Guide & Build (Techs, Weapons, Teams, Artifacts) Genshin Impact 2. Skirk + Kazuha + Furina + Layla Kazuha is the only Anemo unit you should pair with Skirk, period. He boosts Cryo DMG like crazy and groups enemies like a vacuum cleaner. Furina keeps the Hydro pressure on, while Layla keeps Skirk safe and adds a bonus Cryo application. Team: Skirk = Cryo blade queen Kazuha = Crowd control + Cryo boost Furina = Hydro enabler + bonus damage Layla = Shield + Cryo support Best for : Crowd-clearing chaos and stylish frozen combos. 3. Skirk + Nahida + Thoma + Shenhe Who said Skirk only needs Hydro? This Melt comp is all about cooking enemies with the Burning + Cryo synergy. Nahida keeps Dendro flowing, Thoma applies Pyro over time, and Shenhe ensures your Melts hit hard . Team: Skirk = Cryo pro Nahida = Dendro enabler + buffs Thoma = Pyro source + shield Shenhe = Cryo steroids again Best for : Off-meta enjoyers and high-risk, high-reward thrill seekers. 10 C0 Skirk Team Comps | Genshin Impact 5.7 Build & Showcase 4. Skirk + Xingqiu + Mika + Diona No 5-stars? No problem. Xingqiu's Hydro swords are the MVP here, freezing enemies left and right. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Mika buffs ATK SPD and healing, while Diona shields + adds more Cryo. You're not missing out on much. Team: Skirk = Queen bee Xingqiu = Hydro swords + minor heals Mika = ATK SPD + healing Diona = Shield + Cryo + energy Best for: New players, budget bros, and casual cruisers. 5. Skirk + Yelan + Citlali + Escoffier This comp is fast, aggressive, and frozen nonstop . Yelan's off-field Hydro matches Skirk's rapid normal attacks perfectly. Citlali adds Cryo shreds, while Escoffier keeps the team alive and enemies debuffed. Team: Skirk = DPS monster Yelan = Burst Hydro & HP buff Citlali = Cryo application + RES shred Escoffier = Heals + Cryo off-field Best for : Fast clears and consistent Frozen uptime. Skirk's team building isn't just about spamming Hydro and Cryo—it's about choosing the right off-field enablers and buffers who match her aggressive playstyle. Whether you're going all-out with 5-stars or keeping it real with 4-star champs, there's a squad out there that'll make Skirk the lethal ice queen she's meant to be.

Imaginarium Theater Guide (June 2025) in Genshin Impact
Image via: HoYoverse Being set in June 2025 is Season 12 of the Performance Tour in the Imaginarium Theater of Genshin Impact, a fast, combat-heavy event. The Theater level domain, permanent domain challenge, upholds higher difficulties of strategy, placing even higher importance on making old-time Travelers dust off their elemental team rosters. Cryo, Electro and Dendro Win the Spotlight The hustle and bustle of the season have their spotlight on a new intriguing elemental reaction, a frosted combination of Cryo and Dendro that rewards teams who manage to balance freezing control with the aggression of withering thorns. The interaction comes in handy against Act bosses tuned to apply elemental pressures. New Imaginarium Theater Act 1 - Act 10 | Genshin Impact 5.6 Given that the roster of characters limits to Cryo, Electro, and Dendro, careful planning goes into team building. Starting from the opening casts, Cyno, Nahida, Qiqi, Fischl, Collei, and Mika lay down a good early base for a team leaning heavily onto reaction. Special Guests and Backing Cast Those who own Furina, Dehya, Xiangling, and Xingqiu can invite them as Special Guests this season, so consider yourself majorly blessed with their solid elemental support and myriad of uses! Although it's a drag not having any of these stars yourself, the Supporting Cast allows you to borrow them from other players. Team Compositions Mastering Season 12 is all about balance. Here's how the meta is formed: Names like Raiden, Ganyu, Alhaitham, and Eula take center stage. These characters put out enough elemental damage required by the theme of the season. Sub DPS picks expose Yae Miko and Beidou as optimal Electro anchors, while Rosaria and Emilie provide Cryo and Dendro burst support, respectively. The benefits Baizhu, Shenhe, and Yaoyao confer include healing and resistance shredding, an edge vital for survivability and keeping uptime on reactions. Team synergy is important. Ensure that your sub-DPS and support characters enhance effects such as Rimegrass or conventional reactions like Superconductor Quicken. New 5.6 Imaginarium Theater June 2025 | New Dendro & Cryo Reaction & 9-Star Bonus Reward Difficulty Scaling: A Theater for All Players The Imaginarium Theater opens its doors to all, no matter if you're stepping into the limelight for the first time or back for the encore: Easy Mode (3 Acts): For entry-level players, it demands very little in terms of requirements. Normal to Hard Modes (6–8 Acts): Stand on the shoulders of deeper rosters and greater foresight in strategy. Visionary Mode (10 Acts): Aplomb beyond all tests, requiring 22-26 characters level 70 or above and meticulous role tiling. Every additional character past the minimum requirements offers a passive buff, preparation hence becoming power itself. With all new mechanics, elemental reactions including Rimegrass, and a hand-picked roster of characters, Imaginarium Theater Season 12 is one of Genshin Impact's most complex combat performances to date. Whether you're pursuing Stella for ultimate-tier prizes, or just pushing the art of the possible in team synergy, this season requires more than raw power. It requires artistry. So assemble your talent, tune up your orchestra and get ready for the performance. The curtain is going up and the stage awaits you.

SpoGomi Borneo drive in Miri clears over 200kg of rubbish in an hour
Photo shows the top teams of SpoGomi Borneo, who stand a chance to compete in the national stage, to be held in Penang later this year. MIRI (April 22): Over 200kg of rubbish were cleared in one hour during the SpoGomi Borneo drive here last weekend. Taking place at the Piasau Boat Club here, the high-energy trash-picking competition involved 25 teams. Co-organised by the local environmental groups, the programme registered participants from all across Sarawak, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and also Brunei, and among them were students, professionals and volunteers. Spogomi, a blend of 'sport' and 'gomi' (the Japanese word for rubbish), turns environmental action into a timed competition, in which teams race to collect and sort litter quickly and accurately. Making its Borneo debut here, the event had three-members teams competing for a chance to represent Borneo at the SpoGomi World Cup 2025 Malaysia, to be staged in Penang later this year. Participants collect the trash bags prepared by the organisers for the SpoGomi Borneo drive. Among the top performers were the teams Dendro, which collected 30.62kg of trash; GJ7, with 20.91kg; and 'Winnis Liao', with 17.92kg – all of whom earned their place for the next stage of the competition. Beyond the competitive aspect, the event also fostered in the participants a sense of community and shared responsibility for the environment. 'I think such events should be held consistently, not just annually, so that people can develop greater awareness,' said Mohd Zaid Kamis, the talent and culture manager at Mercure Miri City Centre, who participated in the SpoGomi Borneo with his team. Harry Lagi, in reflecting on his first experience, said: 'I have joined clean-ups before, but a trash-picking competition is, for me, a new twist. It's a great experience, and I am thrilled to have been part of it.' Mohd Zaid (front, second right) with representatives of Mercure Miri City Centre. Each team was required to sort rubbish into specific categories, including burnables, non-burnables and cigarette butts, with penalties being imposed on those for sorting incorrectly. The rules emphasised speed, environmental literacy, and also cooperation. All waste collected was either recycled, or properly disposed of. Ronie Nicklas from Domino Academy Miri, a member of the winning team Dendro, remarked: 'It is a fun and engaging way to make environmental work exciting. I really hope this becomes a recurring event here.'
