Despite his appearance during the Weinlesefest cutscene, Hoyoverse is yet to confirm many details on Genshin Impact’s Mika. Of course, we can’t help but fawn over the sweet little blond-haired, blue-eyed boy, so we’ve gathered all the little crumbs of info we could find on this illusive new character, right here for your perusal.
For more info on current and upcoming characters, check out our Genshin Impact tier list and Genshin Impact next banner guide. We’ve also got a list of all new Genshin Impact codes, and a bunch of build guides for the Sumeru characters, including Genshin Impact’s Tighnari, Genshin Impact’s Collei, and Genshin Impact’s Cyno.
Genshin Impact Mika
When is Genshin Impact Mika’s banner?
During the 3.5 livestream, Hoyoverse confirmed that Mika is coming in the second phase of version 3.5, alongside reruns for Genshin Impact’s Ayaka and Genshin Impact’s Shenhe. To find out more, keep an eye on our Genshin Impact banner guide.
What’s the best Genshin Impact Mika build?
Based on what we know of his beta skills, it looks like Mika is a strong support capable of buffing and healing his allies. At C6, we believe he will be particularly strong support for Genshin Impact’s Eula, due to Soulwind’s physical crit damage buff.
Of course, we’ve not had the chance to test him out ourselves yet, and therefore our build is still speculative. We’ll be sure to update this section as soon as we know more.
What are Genshin Impact Mika’s skills?
Here are all of Mika’s skills and attacks.
Mika active talents
Skill | Description |
Spear of Favonius – Arrow’s Passage (normal) | Perform up to five consecutive strikes using his crossbow and spear |
Spear of Favonius – Arrow’s Passage (charged) | Consume a set amount of stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way |
Spear of Favonius – Arrow’s Passage (plunge) | Plunge from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE damage upon impact |
Starfrost Swirl (skill) | Mika uses his crossbow to attack, granting all nearby party members Soulwind. When characters in the Soulwind state are on the field, their attack and speed increases. Starfrost Swirl takes effect in different ways if you tap or hold. Tap: fire a Flowfrost Arrow that can pierce through opponents, dealing cryo damage to any enemies it comes into contact with. Hold: go into aiming mode, locking onto an opponent and firing a Rimestar Flare at them, which deals cryo damage. When the Rimestar Flare hits, it rises then explodes, launching Rimestar Shards that deal cryo damage into a maximum of three other opponents |
Skyfeather Song (burst) | Mika spurs on his teammates, regenerating their HP based on his own max HP, and granting them the Eagleplume state. When an active character affected by Eagleplume hits an opponent with their normal attack, Mika regenerates their HP based on his max HP at set intervals. |
Mika passive talents
Skill | Description |
Demarcation | Display the location of nearby resources unique to Mondstadt on the mini-map |
Suppressive Barrage | Soulwind state grants characters the Detector effect in the following situations: – If the Flowfrost Arrow hits more than one opponent, each additional opponent hit generates one Detector stack – When a Timestar Shard hits an opponent, it generates one Detector stack (each Rimestar Shard can trigger this effect one times) The Detector effect increases the character’s physical damage by 10% per stack when they’re on the field. The Soulwind state can have a maximum of three Detector stacks, and if Mika casts Starfrost Swirl again during this duration, the pre-existing Soulwing state and all its Detector stacks clears. |
Topographical Mapping | When an active character affected by both Skyfeather Song’s Eagleplume and Starfrost Swirl’s Soulwind at once scores a crit hit with their attacks, Soulwind grants them one stack of Detector from Suppressive Barrage. During a single instance of Soulwind, you can gain one Detector stack in this manner. Additionally, the maximum number of stacks that you can gain through Soulwind alone increases by one |
What are Genshin Impact Mika’s constellations?
If you pull more than one copy of Mika, you can unlock one of his constellations, which offer unique buffs and passive skills. Here are all of Mika’s constellations.
Constellation | Effect |
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 attack speed increase that Soulwind provides |
C2 – Companion’s Ingress | When Starfrost Swirl’s Flowfrost Arrow first hits an opponent, or its Rimestar Flare hits opponents, it generates one Detector stack from the passive talent ‘Suppressive Barrage’ |
C3 – Reconnaissance Experience | Increases the level of Skyfeather Song by three, to a max level of 15 |
C4 – Sunfrost Encomium | When Mika’s own Skyfeather Song’s Eagleplume stat heals party members, he restores three energy. This can occur five times during the Eagleplume state from one Skyfeather Song |
C5 – Signal Arrow | Increases the level of Starfrost Swirl by three, to a maximum of 15 |
C6 – Companion’s Counsel | The maximum number of Detector stacks that Starfrost Swirl’s Soulwind can gain increases by one. Additionally, active characters affected by Soulwind deal 60% more physical crit damage |
