Mika
Who is Mika?
Mika is a 4★ Cryo Polearm character from Mondstadt who debuted in Version 3.5 as a support/healer. He is the front-line surveyor of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company led by Eula, and younger brother of Huffman. His niche is providing Physical DMG% buff and Attack Speed to the active character, making him the premier support for physical DPS characters like Eula and Freminet. His healing is solid but his Physical buff kit is highly specialised. Source: https://keqingmains.com/mika/
Kit Summary
Normal Attack (Spear of Favonius — Arrow's Path): Standard polearm strikes; rarely levelled.
Fires an ice pick that creates a Balloon Field, applying a Physical DMG% buff (Detector stacks) to the active character per hit. Tap version fires in a straight line; Hold creates a larger AoE.
Creates a Eagleplume that provides periodic healing to the on-field character based on Mika's Max HP. Healing scales with Burst talent level.
On each Eagleplume heal, the active character gains an additional Detector stack for Physical DMG.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
4pc Noblesse Oblige (primary — 20% teamwide ATK after Burst, if no other unit holds it). Alternative: 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam (personal healing output boost). 4pc Song of Days Past (converts healing into DMG bonus for on-field character). Source: KQM.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Favonius Lance (best — CRIT Rate triggers and ER for teammates). Dialogues of the Desert Sages (HP% + flat Energy on proc — excellent). Rightful Reward (craftable HP% + Energy restoration). Black Tassel (HP% stat stick). Source: KQM.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Eula Physical Hypercarry: Mika + Eula + Fischl + Zhongli/Raiden
Freminet Physical: Mika + Freminet + Fischl + Zhongli
Wanderer Attack Speed: Mika + Wanderer + Faruzan + Bennett
F2P Verdict
Rightful Reward (craftable from Fontaine workshop) provides HP% and Energy Restoration — a strong free option covering his key needs.
Prototype Starglitter (craftable ER Polearm) is a stat-stick alternative for Energy needs.
Favonius Lance is a 4-star available from standard Masterless Starglitter shop.
His Physical buff does not scale with talent levels — investing mora in Normal Attack talents gives zero return; focus on Burst for healing and Skill for Detector uptime. Source: keqingmains.com/mika/
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mika good for beginners?
Only if building a physical DPS team (Eula, Freminet). He provides the best Physical DMG% buff in the game but contributes very little outside that niche. Source: KQM.
What is the best free weapon for Mika?
Rightful Reward (craftable, Fontaine) — gives HP% and flat Energy on proc. Prototype Starglitter (craftable) for pure Energy Recharge needs. Source: KQM.
Is Mika a healer?
Yes — his Elemental Burst provides reliable periodic healing to the active character, scaling with his Max HP. Pair him with high-HP artifacts for stronger heals. Source: KQM.
Does Mika work outside physical teams?
He can fill a healing slot anywhere, but his Physical buff and Attack Speed are wasted. Better healers exist for non-physical teams. Source: KQM.
