Why This Build Works

Mika's hold Skill (Starfrost Swirl) grants Soulwind: up to +25% Attack SPD and, when it hits multiple enemies, +10% Physical DMG per enemy (max 3 stacks at C0). His 70-cost Burst (Skyfeather Song) heals the on-field NA user and is the dedicated enabler for Physical carries like Eula/Razor; C6 adds +60% Physical CRIT DMG, fully element-locked.

Key Stat Threshold

Energy Recharge 190-230% (both kit halves live on a 70-cost Burst + 15s Skill); HP% mainstats since healing scales off Max HP; ~2300+ ATK if you also run his own buff. Favonius Lance is BiS for the ER.

Current Meta Status

Tier A as a Physical specialist, Tier C in general content (5.x/6.x). He is the only reliable Attack SPD + Physical DMG buffer, so he remains the premium Eula/Razor partner but has near-zero value outside Physical teams in 2026.

Entry vs Endgame Build

Endgame Build
Skyward Spine

Optimize substats for perfect ratio. Sacrifice HP/DEF for more offensive stats.

Summary: Is Mika Worth Building?

Mika boosts Physical DMG and attack speed. With the right investment, Mika performs at a 5/10 level in current content.

When NOT to use this character

Outside Physical comps his Detector stacks do nothing and he is a mediocre healer; outclassed as a generic Cryo healer by Charlotte/Kokomi. Energy-hungry and the buff window can clash with Eula rotations pre-C6.

Community Controversy

Noblesse Oblige (team ATK) vs Ocean-Hued Clam (overheal to Physical bubble DMG) vs Song of Days Past; and whether C6 Mika + Eula is still worth investing versus newer rationalized Physical options.

In-Depth Guide

Mika is a Cryo polearm support built around two things: healing and attack-speed buffing for Physical carries. His skill (Flowfrost Arrow) has a tap form that creates a Flowfrost Arrow following the active character and dealing Cryo, and a hold form that deals more and grants його first ascension buff - Skyfeather Song - which raises the active character's Physical DMG based on Mika's ATK and heals them. His burst (Skyfeather Sonnet) heals the team and grants Reluctant Benison, speeding up normal attack speed, with his C6 adding a large ATK SPD and Physical boost. That makes him the dedicated enabler for Physical DPS units - Eula, Freminet, Razor - where the attack-speed buff directly increases rotation damage. His buff scales with his ATK, so a meaningful chunk of his build goes to ATK% Sands and an ATK weapon, while HP and Energy Recharge keep his healing and burst online. For sets, 4pc Noblesse Oblige supports the team, Song of Days Past amplifies his healing, and Ocean-Hued Clam turns that healing into damage. Favonius Lance is the safest weapon for his own energy, with Skyward Spine as an alternative. Energy needs are high - around 200-240% - because his 80-cost burst is his main value. Where he struggles: he is locked to Physical teams, his buffs do nothing for non-Physical carries, and his personal damage is negligible. Outside Eula and Freminet he has little reason to be on the team.
