Genshin Impact Mitya Build Guide: Best Weapons & Artifacts

Mitya arrives in Genshin Impact 7.2 as an Electro unit whose damage scales primarily through Elemental Mastery (EM). Whether you play him as a main DPS or a buffer, the stat priority is the same: stack EM and ignore ATK. This guide breaks down his best weapons, artifacts, and stat targets based on available information. For more genshin-impact news and updates, visit the game hub.

Overview

Mitya’s kit revolves around EM, making him an unusual build target. ATK% rolls provide minimal benefit, so artifact farming should focus on EM main stats and EM substats. The two core roles are main DPS and buffer, each with distinct weapon and artifact set recommendations.

• Main DPS: Starsealed Edict + 4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow
• Buffer: Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers + 4pc Heart of the Furnace or Tenacity of the Millelith
• Artifact main stats (both roles): EM / EM / Crit Rate or Crit DMG

Final multipliers and energy costs for Mitya are not stated in official materials, so treat damage estimates as provisional.

Step-by-Step: Building Mitya

1. Decide your role. Main DPS if you plan to field Mitya often; buffer if he supports a stronger carry.
2. Pick the weapon. Main DPS: Starsealed Edict. Buffer: Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (a 3-star catalyst, widely available).
3. Farm the artifact set. Main DPS: Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (4pc). Buffer: Heart of the Furnace or Tenacity of the Millelith (4pc).
4. Lock main stats. Sands: EM. Goblet: EM. Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit DMG (choose based on substats).
5. Prioritize substats. EM > Crit Rate/Crit DMG > Energy Recharge > ATK%. Avoid flat ATK and ATK% unless nothing better.
6. Level artifacts to +20. EM main stats are rare; use strongbox or targeted farming to reduce cost.
7. Test in a domain. Confirm energy needs and buff uptime before investing further.

Team Options

Mitya’s best teams pair him with Yae Miko and Odette, with the fourth slot flexing based on role. For a full breakdown, see the Mitya Team Guide. If you run him alongside Valeriy, the Electro shielder’s kit supports a Stellar-Conduct core; details are in the Valeriy Build Guide.

Materials Table

Artifact and weapon ascension materials for Mitya are not stated in official materials. The table below covers only confirmed targets.

Troubleshooting

• Low damage despite EM stacking: Confirm you are not using ATK% main stats. Mitya barely benefits from ATK.
• Energy issues: Final energy cost is not stated; test with an Energy Recharge sands if bursts are inconsistent, but this sacrifices EM.
• Buffer weapon not triggering: Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers requires swapping to the next character after using Mitya’s skill; check rotation order.
• Artifact RNG: EM main stats are rare. Use the artifact strongbox or farm domains with multiple useful sets.

FAQ

Does Mitya need constellations?
Constellation effects are not stated in official materials. Build recommendations above assume C0.

Can I use ATK% sands?
No. Mitya scales with EM; ATK% is a dead stat for him.

Is Starsealed Edict required for main DPS?
It is the recommended best-in-slot, but no alternative weapons are listed in the source. Use EM stat sticks as placeholders until you obtain it.

What about refinement?
Refinement values are not stated in official materials.

Next Steps

• Finalize your artifact set and test Mitya in a low-stakes domain.
• If running him as a buffer, practice the Thrilling Tales swap timing.
• Check the Valeriy Team Guide for Electro comps that include Mitya.
• Monitor official channels for final multipliers and energy costs.
