Mitya is Genshin Impact’s new 5-star Electro Catalyst, and his best build uses Elemental Mastery (EM) Sands and Goblet, a CRIT Circlet, his signature Catalyst, and a 4-piece Stellar-Conduct or EM set. He arrived in Version 7.2 on November 4, 2026, and plays as an on-field DPS or an off-field sub-DPS. I’ve compared the strongest guides so you can build him without wasting resin.

How Mitya Works?

Mitya is built around Stellar-Conduct, which turns Superconduct into a Polestar Field. That field boosts Cryo and Electro DMG and lowers enemy Physical RES.

  • Hold his Elemental Skill for the on-field mode. You get enhanced Charged Attacks that consume Gradient Beacons.
  • Tap his Elemental Skill for the off-field mode. A Detection Core keeps hitting while another DPS takes the field.
  • His Burst deals Electro DMG and creates three Gradient Beacons.
  • Each Beacon he collects gives +5% CRIT Rate, up to 20% at four stacks.
  • His passive raises the team’s Base Stellar-Conduct DMG by 0.028% per EM point, capped at 14% (500 EM).

That 500 EM cap is why I treat 500 EM as the floor for every Mitya build.

Best Mitya Weapons

PriorityWeaponWhy It Works
BestStarsealed Edict542 ATK, 88.2% CRIT DMG. Skill gives 48 EM, plus up to three 24-EM stacks that each add 12% Stellar-Conduct CRIT DMG.
5-StarKagura’s Verity, Surf’s Up, Cashflow Supervision, Tome of the Eternal FlowHigh CRIT DMG. Kagura’s Verity also boosts Skill and Stellar-Conduct DMG.
4-StarWinter’s Heavy Heart, Dawning Frost, Clash of Kings, Sacrificial FragmentsWinter’s Heavy Heart scales EM with Cryo teammates. Sacrificial Fragments gives 221 EM.
F2PEchoes of the Heart (forged), Etherlight Spindlelute (past event)Both work off-field. Spindlelute adds ER and EM.

For an off-field build, Wandering Evenstar R5 is strong because its team ATK buff works while Mitya is off-field.

Best Mitya Artifacts

Guides disagree here, so choose by role.

Artifact SetBest ForWhy
Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (4pc)On-field, Cryo-heavy teams+40% Stellar-Conduct DMG and +16% CRIT Rate against affected enemies.
Gilded Dreams (4pc)On-field, EM focusStrong EM, but you must trigger a reaction first.
Heart of the Furnace (4pc)Off-fieldBoosts the team’s Stellar Glimmer DMG.
Tenacity of the MillelithOff-field, ATK teamsTeam ATK buff.
2pc EM + 2pc EMBudget160 EM with no reaction condition.

I’d run Disenchantment in Deep Shadow when Odette keeps Cryo up consistently, and Gilded Dreams if reactions feel inconsistent.

Best Artifact Stats

  • Sands: Elemental Mastery
  • Goblet: Elemental Mastery
  • Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG (EM works if your weapon already gives CRIT)
  • Substats: CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG first, then EM, then Energy Recharge

On-field Mitya wants roughly 120–140% Energy Recharge. Remember his own passive gives up to 20% CRIT Rate, so don’t over-stack Rate.

Talent Priority

  • On-field: Normal Attack > Burst > Skill
  • Off-field: Skill > Burst (optional) > Normal Attack

Odette is the one teammate I’d call essential. She supplies Cryo and boosts Stellar Glimmer damage. If you lack Yae Miko, Alyosha or Fischl can cover Electro.

Mitya Rotations

On-field Mitya:

  1. Yae Miko: Skill three times, then Burst.
  2. Odette: Skill, then her special Skill.
  3. Valeriy: Skill and Burst for the shield.
  4. Mitya: hold Skill, spam enhanced Charged Attacks, use Burst, then keep attacking until the Beacons run out.

Off-field Mitya:

Yae Miko, then Odette, then Mitya (tap Skill and Burst), then Sandrone (Charged Attack, Skill, Burst). Repeat.

Mitya Constellations

Based on U7BUY’s breakdown, C1 is the best early stopping point. It raises max Beacons to five, restores Energy and gives the active character 50% CRIT DMG while a Detection Core is up. C2 adds 25% Cryo and Electro RES shred plus team EM. C6 adds a 20% Stellar-Conduct Elevation for the whole team.

Common Mitya Build Mistakes

  • Stacking ATK%. His damage scales with EM and CRIT.
  • Using the wrong Skill mode. Hold for on-field, tap for off-field.
  • Doubling up Heart of the Furnace. Give it to one character only.
  • Skipping Yae Miko’s Witch’s Revelation quest. It unlocks her Stellar-Conduct buffs.
  • Levelling Skill first on on-field Mitya. Prioritise Normal Attack.

FAQs

Is Mitya a main DPS or sub-DPS?

Both. Holding his Elemental Skill makes him an on-field DPS with enhanced Charged Attacks. Tapping it makes him an off-field sub-DPS.

How much Elemental Mastery does Mitya need?

Aim for at least 500 EM to max his 14% team Stellar-Conduct buff. On-field builds can go to 600–800, while off-field builds sit around 450–550.

What is the best artifact set for Mitya?

Disenchantment in Deep Shadow suits Cryo-heavy on-field teams, and Gilded Dreams is the EM-focused pick. Use Heart of the Furnace for off-field Mitya.

What is the best free-to-play weapon for Mitya?

Echoes of the Heart is the forgeable option, and Etherlight Spindlelute is better if you own it from the past event.

Is Valeriy good with Mitya?

Yes. Valeriy shields the team and boosts Electro and Stellar-Conduct damage, so he fits on-field Mitya perfectly.
