Best Build for Mika
Mika Is Best Built As A Heal-Buffer
| Best Weapon | Dialogues Of The Desert Sages |
|---|---|
| Substitute | 1. Rightful Reward 2. Favonius Lance 3. Black Tassel (F2P) |
| Best Artifact | Ocean-Hued Clam x4 |
| Main Stats | Sands: HP% or Energy Recharge Goblet: HP% Circlet: HP% |
| Sub-Stats | 1. HP% 2. Energy Recharge 3. CRIT Rate (for Favonius Lance) |
| Sample Team | |
This build focuses on the up-time of Elemental Burst for healing and using Ocean-Hued Clam for additional DMG. You can also opt to use Noblesse Oblige for additional ATK buff but the 2pc set effect is wasted since Mika's Elemental Burst does not have damage.
Aim For A 200% Energy Recharge
Mika requires a fairly high amount of Energy Recharge to keep Elemental Burst activated. 200% should be enough but if you are running on triple Cryo or double Cryo, you can also opt for a 180%.

Should You Pull for Mika's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Aim for C6 if You're Able To
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C6 > C4 > C2 |
C6 is Preferable for Physical Teams
While Mika at low constellation levels can be an okay sustain option that brings a few nice to have buffs, Physical teams would appreciate his presence more if his C6 activated, mostly due to the significant Physical Crit DMG bonus it provides. If you plan to include Mika in your Physical teams, then it's recommended to pull for C6 if you are able to. Otherwise, stopping anywhere between C0 and C4 is a viable option.
