Technically, when thinking about what weapon to give Mika The Genshin effect, you can literally give him anything you want. This is because his main utility comes from increasing the Attack Speed of his Elemental Skills. And since it’s something you can increase through upgrading his Talent, his natural stats shouldn’t matter. However you Maybe Give Mika a weapon that enhances his ability to act as a healer on your team.
Mika’s healing through his Elemental Blast is reduced from his max HP. So the increased weapons will allow him to heal more after each Basic Attack. However, his Burst is a bit expensive for the amount of Energy he generates, which means that the Energy Recharge weapon is also useful. So here are two stats that you want to keep in mind when building Mika. Some weapons you might consider are:
Black Tassel
Black Tassel is an extremely cheap and useful pick as its primary stat increases his max HP. Other weapons that boost that power are weapons like the Staff of Homa, which should really belong to your DPS Polearm characters. While this will reduce Mika’s attack, he won’t really become an attacker on your team anyway. On the plus side, since Black Tassel gives 40% damage to Slime, Mika can be your designated Slime Killer.
Sparkling prototype
Prototype Starglitter is another good F2P option as you can craft it in the game Its main stat is Energy Recharge and it gives close to 50% if you max its level. This will help keep Mika’s Burst from having a cooldown. Honestly, he’s not the most reliable healer but being able to spam it whenever possible can make up for mistakes or more aggressive play. The Starglitter Prototype’s passive grants 8% Damage to Normal and Charged Attacks after using an Elemental Skill. Since Mika won’t actually use it, this Polearm is a stat bar for him.
The chase
Like Black Tassel and Prototype Starglitter before it, The Catcher is a good F2P Polearm that you can earn while fishing. It provides the same Recharge boost as Prototype Starglitter. However, its passive focuses on Elemental Burst’s damage rather than normal attacks and burst attacks. It increases Elemental Burst’s damage by 16% and Critical Rate by 6%. Like Prototype Starglitter, it is a stat bar to Power him up.
Favonius Lance
Like the previous two weapons, Favonius Lance’s main stat is Energy Charge, although it is significantly lower. However, Favonius Lance’s real utility comes from its skill. When you critically strike an enemy, there is a chance to generate 6 Energy for the character. At R5, it’s a 100% chance. Currently, Mika pairs best with attackers like Eula or Kaeya; you can also run him with a character with better Cryo app to take advantage of Super Conduction. In any case, there’s a good chance you’ll have two Cryo characters on your party (including Mika), which means you can take advantage of Cryo Resonance.
The catch with Favonius Lance is that there are a large number of characters who want to use it. For example, Yun Jin is a character who would appreciate having Favonius Lance. Unlike Prototype Starglitter and The Catcher, it is also only available in gacha. If you have Favonius Lance, then Mika should use it. If not, you can look into F2P options.
The Genshin effect available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC and mobile devices. Mika is a 4 star which means he’s always in the gacha.
