Mika is making his debut in the second 1 / 2 of Genshin Impact accounts version 3.5 and it is marked because of dedicated support for Physical DPS characters like Eula. Does which will make him worth pulling for? The other half of Genshin Impact version 3.5 is finally here! Alongside the reruns for 5-star characters Kamisato Ayaka and Shenhe, this half's event banner also features the debut of 4-star Cryo character Mika.

Mika can be a Cryo polearm user that gives healing and buffs to Physical DMG for his allies, marking him because of the dedicated support for Physical DMG DPS characters, especially EulaHowever, Mika is not the first character created to support Physical DMG teams, with Rosaria and Xinyan notably filling that niche already, as well as the omnipresent Bennett. So, how good is Mika being a Physical DMG support? Is he worth pulling for with this banner, especially with many Eula mains still saving up to be with her eventual (hopefully) rerun? Read on to discover.

Mika's A1 passive, Suppressive Barrage, gives characters suffering from his skill stacks the 'Detector' effect, which increases their Physical DMG by 10%. Detector gains stack whenever enemies are hit from the held version of his skill.

Of course, to be a 4-star character, Mika will shine more with constellations. And just like the other dedicated supports, you need him at C6, which enhances the maximum Detector stacks you get to 6 while giving a stunning 60% Physical Crit DMG bonus. So, what makes Mika build up to the other 4-star Physical DMG supports? We'll be utilizing Eula as our benchmark, comparing simply how much Mika helps her in comparison with Rosaria, Bennett, Xinyan, and the like. In ideal scenarios, Mika buffs Eula with a 25% increased attack speed, as much as a 60% Physical DMG bonus, 60% Physical Crit DMG bonus, and healing.

While Bennett isn't exactly created to buff Physical DMG, the universal ATK buff from his burst remains be nigh unbeatable, not forgetting the additional healing. Assuming you do not have him at C6, really the only caveats to getting Bennett quite simply need to stay inside the area of his burst to obtain buffed and the man is also necessary for many other teams.

Xinyan is additional support often ran with Eula, as she offers a DEF-scaling shield with your ex skill that increases Physical DMG by 15%. At C4, her skill also decreases the Physical RES of enemies by 15%. Nothing to scoff at. Lisa is an additional good option, especially at a low investment. Her burst decreases the DEF of enemies by 15% and he or she can also carry the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers to supply a massive ATK buff.

Zhongli gives an unbreakable shield that has a universal 20% RES shred. He may be an honest 4-piece Tenacity in the Millellith set carrier. Meanwhile, Shenhe can limit the Physical RES of enemies by 15% while buffing Eula's skill, burst, and Normal Attacks together with her own skill.

At C0, we reckon that he really only beats out Xinyan. But once he's at C6, Mika can be a bit a lot better than Lisa, Kuki Shinobu, and Shenhe while matching C6 Rosaria and (non-C6) Bennett. We argue only Raiden Shogun and Zhongli bring more to your table. So as an alternative to being the be-all, end-all Physical DMG support, Mika is a bit more of a sidegrade to find the best Physical DMG supports, if you do him at C6. It's better to combine him to top supports as part of your Eula team to increase her damage output.

Since we have seen Mika as more of your sidegrade for Eula's best support, only pull for him if you do not possess her other best teammates already. Let's say you currently have Bennett at C6 or lack a C6 Rosaria, then this type of case makes Mika worth pulling. However, you need to keep in mind that Mika is just not running alongside Eula, unlike other DPS-dedicated support tandems such as the Raiden Shogun and Kujou Sara has a tendency to run together. It's hard to justify pulling for just a dedicated 4-star support should the character they're devoted to supporting isn't for a passing fancy banner.

So, should you not don't mind getting Ayaka or Shenhe, then go for it go pull for Mika. If not, then advisable to wait for that eventual Eula rerun (HoYoverse just when was she returning?!) and hope that Mika will likely be re-running alongside her. genshin impact accounts version 3.5 is predicted to run until early April, with its wife or husband featuring reruns of the 5-star characters Kamisato Ayaka and Shenhe as well because of the debut of the 4-star character Mika.
