In Genshin Impact Mika is 4 star character, which belongs to the Cryo element and uses a spear in battle. In a team, he can act as a healer and buffer, and in some cases even become the main damage dealer. In this guide, you will learn about his best builds, weapons, artifacts and optimal teams.
Note: The Cartographer from Mondstadt has not been officially released yet, so the data presented here is based on information received as part of the beta testing. If necessary, we will update the guide when the Achievement: Hero appears in the game. In addition, in Update 3.5, his banner will be launched with an increased drop rate.
Key features of Miki
How to get Micah
In the second phase of update 3.5, this Knights of Favonius scout will appear in banner, which will allow you to get it with a high probability. Then it will most likely be added to the standard Prayer, which will reduce the chance of a cartographer falling out. At the same time, developers often hold events in which they give 4-star heroes for free. If Mika is added to such an event, then we will definitely tell about it.

The table below shows how a character's base stats change as they level up.
| Level | Base HP | Basic Attack | Basic protection | Bonus HP% | Crit chance. hits | Crete. damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1049 | 19 | 60 | 0% | 5% | 50% |

Advantages and disadvantages of Miki
Thanks to his abilities, this scout can effectively heal his allies and buff them for physical damage, helping them in battles. Its advantages also include:
- Able to instantly heal the entire squad with an elemental explosion, and then continue to regenerate the active hero for a long time.
- Ideal for supporting many greatsword wielders as it can boost attack speed and physical damage.
- His elemental skill is well suited for creating the Elemental Reaction: Superconduct reaction, which further enhances physical damage dealers.
- His healing abilities depend only on HP, which increases With You the hero's ascension, which makes it much easier to build a build when using a cartographer as a support.
- It has a relatively high base defense and can strengthen itself with its buffs, so under certain conditions it can be turned into a main damage dealer.
- Makes it easier to collect Mondstadt's local curiosities with a passive.
However, there are some downsides here, of course:
- It has a low base attack, which makes it much more difficult to turn it into a main damage dealer.
- It is not unique in terms of the method of treatment, so it is often better to replace it with a more versatile Jean or Sayu.
- Not able to play the role of a sub-DD due to the low damage of the E-shki and a weak application, suitable only for the Superconductor.
- A highly specialized buffer that only suits physical damage dealers. Plus, it only speeds up normal attacks, so it won't work for heroes who play through charged hits.
- An Elemental Burst is quite expensive (70 units of energy), and with its elemental ability it cannot generate many particles, so you will have to significantly increase its Obtaining Energy.
- Without open constellations, it will be possible to significantly increase the physical damage of the main-DD only in battles against three or more enemies.
Miki's abilities
During a normal attack "Spear of Favonius: Arrow Passage" the Achievement: Hero makes up to 5 hits with a spear and a crossbow, charged - performs a lunge, spending a small amount of stamina and causing damage to all enemies in its path. When striking in the air, it lands on the ground, dealing damage in an area.
Explanation: A standard set for an epic character that has mediocre attack multipliers and speed. By using his own buffs, you can make him the main damage dealer, but he will only be effective in the early stages of the game until you get more adapted legendary heroes for this role.
After using an elemental skill "Whirlpool of Star Rime" Cartographer fires a crossbow bolt at an enemy, imbuing the active character with Spirit Wind, increasing their attack speed. At the same time, in the case of a quick press, the Achievement: Hero simply releases a penetrating arrow (passes through mobs) at the nearest enemy, causing Cryo damage.
If you hold down the skill button for a long time, then the player himself will be able to fix the target by releasing an Ice Star Beacon at it, causing Cryo damage. On a successful hit, it explodes, hitting three more nearby mobs with ice shards.
Explanation: Due to low damage and a long cooldown (15 seconds), it is not suitable for creating reactions (with the exception of Superconductor). So it's entirely inhabited precisely on the attack speed buff, which at level 10 is 22%, which is quite a lot. However, it doesn't affect hit lag in any way, so Claymore auto-attacks get less haste than bow auto-attacks. Plus, the bonus doesn't cover charged attacks.
Applying elemental explosion "Song of Heaven" causes the health of all team members to be restored in an amount that depends on Mickey's maximum life bar. Plus, they are endowed with the Eagle Feather fortune. All normal hits of a character with this status restore his HP. The amount of regeneration again depends on the maximum HP of the cartographer.
Explanation: Under the action of the Eagle Feather, the healing occurs no more than once every two and a half seconds. The ult costs slightly less than Sayu and Jean (70 vs 80), plus the heroes don't have to stand in the highlighted area to heal. However, at the same time, the Elemental Burst does not cause any damage and does not impose a Cryo status, which completely deprives players of the opportunity to use Mika as a sub-DD in the position of an ultra-procaster.
It is also impossible not to talk about the very useful passive talents of the scout, namely:
- Demarcation - shows all the nearest Curiosities of Mondstadt on the minimap, making it easier to collect them.
- Overwhelming Barrage - The active Achievement: Hero gains a Tracking effect that increases their physical damage by 10%. To do this, the crossbow bolt must hit more than one enemy (each enemy additionally hit gives 1 bonus level). Ice shards when hitting mobs also grant levels of Tracking. The maximum you can get is 3 levels. Re-activating the E-shki removes all effects.
- Topographic Mapping - An active fighter who is under the effect of Miki's ult and skill gains 1 stack of Tracking when dealing critical damage. The maximum number of effect levels is increased by one. As a result, you can get a 10% bonus to physical. damage even with a single target or 40% with four targets.
Constellations Miki
To open them, you will need character Serendipity, obtained by dropping copies of a fighter during Prayers, that is, this process is completely random. However, the chance of getting 4-star heroes is much higher than 5-star ones, so you can try to open all the constellations.
The support buffer will benefit the most from C2 and C6, which will make it easier to get the bonus and greatly increase it, while the healer will benefit from C3 and C4, which will increase the effectiveness of the treatment and allow you to use the ult more often. Below are descriptions of all constellations.
- An unforeseen factor is that the wind of the elemental skill spirit reduces the healing interval of the active character with the eagle feather. The percentage reduction is equal to the increase in hitting speed.
- Traveling in the company - after the first hit with a crossbow bolt, the active Achievement: Hero gains 1 stack of Track. As a result, it is now enough to hit 3 targets instead of 4 to get a 40% bonus.
- Recon EXP - Elemental explosion level increases by 3. Maximum level: 15th.
- Praise of the Solar Rime – Healing an active Hero with an Eagle Feather grants 3 Energy to Micah. The effect occurs up to 5 times within the scope of one ult. Thus, the cost of the explosion of the elements can be reduced to 55 units.
- Signal Arrow - Increases elemental skill level by 3. Maximum level: 15th.
- Companion's Advice - Increases the physical critical damage of active heroes by 60%, and the number of stacks of Tracking increases by one. You will still need to hit 4 targets with the skill and land a critical hit, however you will get a 50% bonus to physical damage and will be able to deal significantly more crit damage. attacks.
How to play Miku
If you plan to use the cartographer only as a healer, then you only need to fully collect him on HP and occasionally cast his ult to quickly heal the entire pack and almost completely recover the active hero. The rotation here will be as primitive as possible, since Mika will only need to be pulled onto the battlefield at the moment the fighters receive significant damage.
However, in this case, you will not be able to fully unlock the potential of this scout. To do this, you will need to use it as a healer buffer that buffs and heals two-handed damage dealers, increasing their attack speed and physical damage. He will do all this out of pocket. The rotation with him looks like this:
- First of all, use the abilities of other supports and sub-DDs to get bonuses and apply Electro status to enemies (if possible).
- To get the most out of Tracking, it is recommended to use an elemental skill and an Elemental Burst at the same time, however, if the characters are at full health, such actions may seem like a waste of healing. Therefore, in such a situation, you can only get by with E-shka. Plus, with C6 you can still get a 40% physical bonus. damage. If you have previously cast Electro on mobs, you will be able to create a Elemental Reaction: Superconduct.
- Switch to main damage and start hitting enemies with normal attacks, dealing massive physical damage to them. When Miki's skill ends (after 12 seconds), you can use your ult or E-shku of the main damage.
If you need to heal the team, then in the 2nd paragraph, simply add the use of Miki's ult. By doing this, you will also be able to further strengthen the main DPS. Don't forget to also hit at least 3 enemies when using the skill to get the maximum physical bonus. damage.
If you use Mika as a main damage dealer, then after activating all of his skills, you just need to continue playing him without switching to other fighters. Just buff him with supports and sub-DD.
Best builds for Mika
The best weapon
For a support, spears that increase HP or Obtaining Energy are suitable, which will allow you to use the ult more often and increase its effectiveness. We will also point out a couple of polearms that will suit the damage dealer. The full list can be found in the table below.
| Name and rarity | Characteristics (level 1-90) | Passive ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Staff of Homa (5 stars) |
Critical Damage: 14.4%~66.2% Basic Attack: 46~608 |
Increases health by 20 percent and increases attack bonus by 0.8 percent of maximum HP. If the life bar falls below half, then the attack is additionally increased by 1 percent. A good option for a main damage dealer and even a healer, as it not only gives crits and increases attack power, but also increases HP, which increases healing. But giving this spear to Miki looks like waste. It will bring much more benefit to Zhongli or Hu Tao. |
|
Engulfing Lightning (5 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 12~55.1% Basic Attack: 46~608 |
Increases attack power by 28~56% of HP above 100% (Max ATK can be increased by 80~120%). You will also get 30~50% energy regeneration for 12 seconds after using your ult. A good option for a healer, as it completely relieves the hero of a lack of energy, allowing you to gain only HP in the stats of artifacts. However, increasing the attack power for Miki will prove to be useless. |
|
Skyward Spine (5 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 8%~36.8% Basic Attack: 48~674 |
Increases critical chance by 8% and basic attack speed by 12%. In addition, normal and charged attack hits on enemies have a 50% chance to summon an intangible blade that deals 40% AoE damage of Attack Rating. This effect can only trigger once every 2 seconds. Another 5-star option for both a main DD and a buffer. The former gains critical hits and increased normal attacks, while the latter gains more elemental bursts. However, again, there are many other heroes on whom this spear will look much better. |
|
Spear of Favonius (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 6.7%~30.6% Basic Attack: 44~565 |
Critical hits have a 60% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 energy. The effect occurs every 12 seconds. The most optimal option for a support, however, the weapon's passive can not always be used. But Mika will not only be able to fully recharge herself for the use of the ult, but also pour energy into the entire squad. Don't forget to take the crown for the chance of a critical hit. |
|
Prototype: Starlight (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 10%~45.9% Basic Attack: 42~510 |
Using an elemental skill will increase the damage of normal and charged hits by 8%~16% for 12 seconds. The bonus stacks up to two times. A free weapon that can be crafted using forging. Completely solves the problem with the lack of energy, however, his passive is useless for a support. |
|
Catch (4 stars) |
Obtaining Energy: 10%~45.9% Basic Attack: 42~510 |
A budget option that increases elemental explosion damage by 16% and its critical hit chance by 6%. Another spear for the healer, which will provide him with enough energy to use his ult. However, the passive is completely useless, as Miki's Elemental Burst does no damage. |
|
Black Brush (3 stars) |
HP: 10.2%~46.9% Basic Attack: 38~354 |
Increases damage against slimes by 40%~80%. A good option for a healer, which allows you to significantly increase the effectiveness of the treatment from the ult. However, you will have to rack up more energy recovery from artifacts. |
Best Artifacts
The best option for the healer will be incomplete sets "Fortitude of Millelite" (increases HP by 20%) and "Emblems of a Divided Destiny" (increases energy recovery rate by 20%). You will not only be able to heal more effectively, but also do it more often. The first set is mined in "Mountain Watch" ", and the second in "Maple Hall" .
The healer can also expect full sets:
- Ocean-Hued Clam - 2 parts increase healing bonus by 15%. If all 4 parts are used, then when healing allies, the Achievement: Hero will begin to create bubbles of sea paints that fix the restored health points, and then explode, dealing damage to enemies in the amount of 90 percent of the calculated amount of treatment. A bubble can occur once every 3.5 seconds and lock up to 40,000 HP regenerated. Only one bubble can exist at a time. It occurs even when the character is not on the battlefield. Mined in "Dreaming Garden" .
- Maiden Beloved - 2 pieces: Increases the hero's healing by 15%. 4 pieces: Increases the healing received by all team members by 20% for 10 seconds after using an ult or elemental skill. Mined in "Valley of Memories" .
If you have enough energy thanks to the weapon, then in the first case, Tenacity of the Millelith can be combined with Sea Color Clam or Beloved Young Maid.
You can maximize the effectiveness of the buffer with a complete set "Ceremonies of the ancient nobility", 2 parts of which increase the damage from the explosion of the elements by 20%, and 4 parts - when using the “ult”, the attack power of all team members increases by 20% for 12 seconds. The effect does not stack. The first bonus will be useless to Miki, but the second one will further strengthen the physical damage. Dropped in a dungeon "Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern" .
When deciding to make a cartographer a main-DD, give him incomplete sets Pale Fire and Blood Knight or full sets "Gladiator’s Finale" and "Shimenawa’s Reminiscence".
As for the choice of main characteristics, then take the hourglass for HP% (or Obtaining Energy), the goblet for HP%, and the crown for HP% (heal% bonus or crits if you have Favonius' spear). Among the additional attributes, the selection priority is as follows: Obtaining Energy -> HP -> Crits -> ATK%.
The best commands for Mika
As we have already noted above, the cartographer is a highly specialized support, for the full disclosure of which a physical DD must be present in the squad. However, no one forbids you to use Micah only as a healer and normal attack speed buffer. The table below shows a few optimal commands with it.
