Mayasvi involves a number of rituals: welcoming the gods, homage to solidarity, bidding farewell to the gods, a procession in the streets to pray for safe travels and family worship. The date of Mayasvi is not set in stone; on the contrary, whether the Mayasvi is to be held is decided by the incumbent chief of hosa judging from the current circumstances. Occasions in favor of having a Mayasvi include: relief efforts after a major epidemic or battle involving injury and death in order to fend off misfortune, foreigners and noxious spirits; celebrations for warriors returning from headhunting or battles in honor of their valor; a renovation project for the kuba is proposed to ensure the good fortune of the tribe and the Tsou compatriots. Moreover, male babies are brought to Mayasvi to make their debut in the kuba; rites will be conducted for lads coming of age during Mayasvi as well. The most important message of Mayasvi is not only to inspire patriotism so that the Tsou people will protect the whole tribe on their lives and soul and pray for the favor of war god, but also to unify the social, ethical protocols and augment general morale.

鄒族戰祭儀式包含迎神祭、團結祭、送神祭、路祭及家祭。舉行的時間不固定，是根據過去一年的狀況由大社氏族的族長決定是否舉行，舉行的時機如在重大疫病或傷亡後為驅除不幸或異族及各種不好的靈，或是當勇士征戰(出草)凱旋歸來已表揚其勇武，以及需重建或修建會所以免導致部落或族人不幸時。此外，鄒族人亦會在戰祭中替男嬰舉行初登會所祭儀，以及替即將成年的男子舉行成年禮，因此，戰祭最重要的意涵不僅是勉勵鄒族人必須用盡精神與生命來保護整個部落，並祈求戰神降臨保佑族人，亦是維繫鄒族部落倫理、規範、精神戰力的支柱。
