Note: Mika's performance significantly improves if Source of Water has Draw 1 Divine Epiphany.

Mika's best build is fairly simple as she only needs to focus on providing AP for the party and healing them back to full HP. She can constantly supply characters with healing and AP to use their expensive cards that it is highly advised to aim for a divine epiphany to one of her cards and duplicate it.

She is best suited with the 2/2/2 set consisting of Healer's Journey, Tetra's Authority and Seth's Scarab to further increase her healing output and provide a max HP increase for the party.

Her favored chaos zone is Swamp of Judgment to get her best equipment such as Tentacles of Chaos to provide an 18% attack stat increase for her allies but can only be obtained after defeating Senectus. Assault Boots to get a 200% fixed shield after turn 2 and onwards and lastly, Clover of the Forest for another 10% attack stat increase for her allies only when you recover HP when using cards for 1 turn.

Haru Haru Veronica Veronica

Mika's best team she can fully support is Haru and Veronica. Haru will focus on dealing high single-target damage to enemies while Mika provides the AP and healing for her so she can use her expensive cards multiple times in one turn. Veronica's only job in this party is to give a consistent card draw so they can execute their combo every turn.

Can FIt in Any Team Comp

Mika and her playstyle revolving around healing and AP recovery makes her a perfect fit to any team that needs AP for their cards. This also makes her the top choice for higher difficulty chaos runs as she can make the party healthy from start to finish without having to worry about mental breakdowns ending your run.

You want Mika's Source of Water to turn into a 1-cost epiphany that will reduce its cost down to 0 when you heal a portion of your health and gives you 2 AP instead of only 1. Do note that healing at full HP does not activate the recovery effect of this card.

Tactical Analysis on the other hand, should have the epiphany that turns it into an upgrade card so that you can remove from the deck once used.

You can keep Deluge as it is an upgrade card and you can get more AP once it hits 3 wave stacks. As for the rest of the cards, Blessing of the Waves and Whirlpool are best removed from the deck to free some space and be easier to draw.

Haru's best epiphanies revolves around getting the Anchor Shot that increases its base damage and its scaling. As for her Anchor Pointer, you want the epiphany that adds a +25% critical chance buff to the Anchor Shot when moved and lastly Charge Energy that gives Haru's cards a 40% multiplicative damage buff for 1 turn. This is especially useful when you have Anchor Shot at max stacks.

As for Veronica, she only needs to have the Repose that has the 0 AP epiphany and Sir Kowalski with the draw 2 epiphany so that she can help the team draw cards and do their combos in one turn.

Nyx Nyx Passive Effect:

When the assigned combatant Draws for the first time each turn using an ability, +8% Damage dealt by allies for 1 turn.
Ego Skill:
Resonance - Discard up to 3 cards, then Draw +1 cards equal to the number discarded

Mika's best partner is Nyx as she can provide more max HP and healing output alongside the ability to give the party more damage boost after drawing a card for 1 turn. She also has the ego skill of discarding up to 3 cards and drawing that many cards to ensure that you will have the best hand.

However, she is part of the Arkhianon Supply which is the battlepass of this game, and the only way to get her is to pay for it with real currency.

Wiki - SethSeth's Scarab Set Wiki - TetraTetra's Authority Set Wiki - HealerHealer's Journey Set

The optimal Memory Fragment combination for Mika pairs the Seth's Scarab and Healer's Journey sets, while Healer's Journey is an optional set to further increase our survivability. Seth's Scarab is the best set for Mika since this provides a huge boost to Basic card heals by 20%, while the Tetra's Authority will give us more Defense as this scales with her healing as well.

For stats, you want Mika's stats to be as defensive as possible. Defense lets you scale your heal value higher which makes every heal move more efficient and lets you focus on other cards to use during battle and health increase the max HP of your party. You can sprinkle in a bit of Ego Recovery for her substats as she scales her healing with it too due to her potentials but it is not truly needed.

Mika's best equipment can only be found in Swamp of Judgment. Her choice of weapon is Tentacles of Chaos to provide an 8% attack stat to her allies but can only be obtained after defeating Senectus. Assault Boots for a 200% fixed shield after the second turn onward and Clover of the Forest for another 10% attack stat boost to all alies after recovering HP with a card.

As for her best refinement, the best she can have is the 15% multiplicative increase to heal and shield amounts, the ability to draw 1 exhaust card if you have any on her and 1 stockpile at the start of battle to store your AP for next turn.

Anchor Shot Combo

One of Mika's best team revolves around providing a handful amount of AP to a character that needs to play expensive cards. In this case, Haru needs at least 10 AP so she can use 5 Anchor Shots in one turn but Mika can easily provide it for her. Here are the steps to do this combo:

  1. Play all the upgrade cards from Mika, Veronica and Haru
  2. Draw cards until you have Anchor Shot, Charge Energy and Lift Anchor in hand
  3. Use Charge Energy and Lift Anchor to buff Haru's attack cards
  4. Play Anchor Shot then Anchor Pointer to move it back to your hand
  5. Use Source of Water if you run out of AP
  6. Repeat until you run out of Anchor Pointer to use

Duplicate Divine 0 Cost Cards

Since you will always use her in chaos runs, we recommend trying to get a save data for her with a draw 1 divine epiphany on either Source of Water then duplicate it when you get the chance as this will greatly enhance her usefulness in many teams.

Generate Wave Stacks for More AP

Mika specializes in making use of the Wave buff, which allows her to generate an Action Point on the 3rd stack. This is incredibly useful for setting up a wide variety of team compositions to continue using high-value cards due to your high AP count.

Excess Wave Stacks Carries Over After Reset

For example, if Mika has 2 out of 3 wave stacks and used a card that grants her 2 wave, the team will gain 1 AP and reset her wave stacks and the excess wave will be carried over.
