• Good party-wide burst healing to keep the team alive.
• Effective even at minimal investment as Elemental Skill's Physical DMG Bonus remains the same.
• Decent Cryo particle generation for a support character.
Weaknesses
• High Elemental Burst cost.
• Long Elemental Skill cooldown.
• Can feel like a sidegrade support versus other premier options that also function as Sub-DPS units.

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.

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 a Healing Bonus and HP% 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.

Mika Talent Priority

Support Talents
1st Elemental Skill
2nd Elemental Burst
3rd Normal Attack

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.

4-PC: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all party members (excluding the wearer) every 2s for 6s. This effect cannot stack.

Thoughts About Mika

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Amber ImageAmber 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.
Genshin Impact - Eula ImageEula 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...
Genshin Impact - Jean ImageJean 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.
Genshin Impact - Kaeya ImageKaeya 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?
Genshin Impact - Lisa ImageLisa 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?
