This Mika build has him use the Noblesse Oblige to further buff his teammates when he uses his Elemental Burst. Focus on providing him the required Energy Recharge that will let him use his Elemental Burst off cooldown based on your team comp.
The 2pc. effect isn't useful for Mika, but granting the bonus +20% ATK to the entire party should more than make up for it.

If you already have a party member using the Noblesse Oblige set or don't need the ATK% buff that it provides, you can instead equip Mika with an Ocean-Hued Clam artifact set for more healing.
Mika's healing is definitely not enough to let you face-tank certain attack combos, so commit to using dashes to avoid big damage when you can.
Support Talents | |
---|---|
1st | Elemental Skill |
2nd | Elemental Burst |

For Talent priority, focus on increasing Mika's Elemental Skill since it improves the ATK Speed buff it provides. Next should be his Elemental Burst for more healing, while leaving his Normal Attacks for last.
Artifact | Artifact Bonuses | |
---|---|---|
1st |

2-PC: Elemental Burst DMG +20%. 4-PC: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack. |
2nd |
![]() |
2-PC: Healing Bonus +15% 4-PC: When the character with this artifact set heals a party member, 1 Foam will appear. It accumulates healed HP for 3 seconds, then explodes and deals 90% of the HP healed as DMG to nearby enemies. Max accumulated healing is 30,000 HP, including over-heal. There can only be 1 Foam active, but it stays even if you swap out. Foam CD is 3.5s. |
3rd |

2-PC: Energy Recharge +20% 4-PC: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all party members (excluding the wearer) every 2s for 6s. This effect cannot stack. |
Mika's artifacts are pretty straightforward. Always focus on providing enough Energy Recharge for Mika for him to use his Elemental Burst off-cool down.

Mika is highly recommended for supporting Eula in her Hypercarry team. Adding Raiden to this team will greatly reduce the energy requirements for this energy-hungry team comp.

Mika provides some much-needed buffs for improving Razor as a Main DPS. When paired with Fischl and Rosaria, the three of them can more or less cover for each other when it comes to recharging their Elemetal Bursts.

Mika's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Factor Confluence The Soulwind state of Starfrost Swirl can decrease the healing interval between instances caused by Skyfeather Song's Eagleplume state. This decrease percentage is equal to the ATK SPD increase provided by Soulwind. |
C2 |
Companion's Ingress When Starfrost Swirl's Flowfrost Arrow first hits an opponent, or its Rimestar Flare hits an opponent, 1 Detector stack from Passive Talent Suppressive Barrage will be generated. You must have unlocked the Passive Talent Suppressive Barrage first. |
C3 |
Reconnaissance Experience Increases the Level of Skyfeather Song by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Sunfrost Encomium When Mika's own Skyfeather Song's Eagleplume state heals party members, this will restore 3 Energy to Mika. This form of Energy restoration can occur 5 times during the Eagleplume state created by 1 use of Skyfeather Song. |
C5 |
Signal Arrow Increases the Level of Starfrost Swirl by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Companion's Counsel The maximum number of Detector stacks that Starfrost Swirl's Soulwind can gain is increased by 1. You need to have unlocked the Passive Talent "Suppressive Barrage" first. Additionally, active characters affected by Soulwind will deal 60% more Physical CRIT DMG. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★☆ | • Healing becomes faster, letting you act a bit more reckless when dealing damage. |
C6 | ★★★ | • Active character deals 60% more Physical CRIT DMG. |
Mika provides a massive 60% CRIT damage boost to the Physical damage of the on-field character for 12s after using Mika's Elemental Skill. This is a massive source of damage that will be appreciated by any Physical DPS!
Setting aside the current issues of Physical damage, Mika is a good Physical damage buffer. At C6 he can even manage to beat Bennett as a Phys damage buffer. His main role is to provide buffs to the on-field character while providing a bit of healing, a true all-in-one support role.
The only problem Mika has is not being able to act as a battery for other Cryo units and himself. If you use Mika on his own or with Eula, you will need another unit to help deal with the Energy needs of the party.

When Mika uses his Elemental Skill, he will attack with his crossbow and grant all nearby characters with Soulwind, which increases their ATK SPD while on the field.
If Mika's Elemental Skill hits more than one opponent, the Soulwind state will grant Detector effect, which gives additional 10% Physical DMG per enemy hit (Max of 3 enemies at C0).
When Mika uses his Elemental Burst, he will heal all nearby party members and grant them the Eagleplume state.
The Eagleplume state works similar to Qiqi's Elemental Burst, which lets the attacking character regenerate HP when they perform Normal Attacks against opponents!
Mika can display the location of nearby Mondstadt Local Specialties on the Mini-map, similar to Klee's passive talent!

Oh! Mika's a veteran of Eula's team. When he first arrived, it was always ''Yes, Commander!'' every time he spoke to me - I guess it must have been because he saw how close I was with Eula. But then, even after I told him I was actually an Outrider, he still called me ''Ma'am''... It was so embarrassing. We have completely different responsibilities, after all. I definitely could never match his expertise in cartography. |

When Mika was assigned to the Reconnaissance Company; I thought that he'd only last a few days, just like the others before him. But he surprised me. He never made a peep, but he completed all of his tasks quite admirably. He even volunteered to run errands for me, and assist with communication... Hmph... I don't know who is going around telling people that I need looking after... |

The Grand Master placed Mika on the front line of the expedition team not simply because he met the requirements of the mission --more importantly, he was impressed by Mika's hardworking and grounded nature. From my own perspective, I feel very honored to work with someone like him. |

When I first met Mika, he seemed like the nervous type, so I decided to joke around with him a little. I didn't count on that making him even more nervous... His smile looked as if it were plastered onto his face, and in the end, he even wrote me a letter of apology. Tsk-tsk. Does taking everything so seriously run in the Schmidts' blood? |

I do rather envy Huffman for having such a caring little brother. Mika takes care of everything around the house and even looks after him when he's drunk... Ah, how nice it must be to lounge around all day without. a care in the world... Hmm? What do you mean, I already do that? You're getting quite bold these days, aren't you, cutie? |
We'll update this section once more information is available! |
