Mika build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Mika's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Crimson Moon's Semblance, Dialogues of the Desert Sages and Staff of Homa come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Mika, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Finale of the Deep Galleries on Mika, with Blizzard Strayer and Vourukasha's Glow behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, HP% goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
