Mitya's Stat Priority
: Elemental Mastery / Energy Recharge
: Elemental Mastery
: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Elemental MasterySince Mitya's damage scales purely off Elemental Mastery, it is best on his Sands and Goblet. If needed be to reach his Energy requirements in your team, Energy Recharge can be used on the sands. For the Circlet, either CRIT or Elemental Mastery can work well. How well they compare to each other will depend on how much CRIT and Elemental Mastery Mitya already has in your team and build.
Recommended Stats for Mitya
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Mitya's best F2P weapon. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
These numbers reflect Mitya on Etherlight Spindlelute in a team where he requires Energy Recharge to use his Elemental Burst every rotation. The listed stats reflect what you would see on the stat screen, before any buffs are applied. The exact amount of Energy Recharge needed can vary from team to team. If you have Mitya's Constellation 1, it will be much lower.
: Elemental Mastery: Elemental Mastery: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / Elemental MasteryMitya scales purely off Elemental Mastery, so it should always be used on the Sands and Goblet. For the Circlet, if using Wandering Evenstar, Elemental Mastery can be worth using over CRIT, as it will make the team-wide ATK buff a bit larger.
Recommended Stats for Mitya
Build recommendations assume a "decently built" level of artifact rolls alongside Mitya's best F2P weapon. Using other weapons may increase or decrease certain stats relative to these recommendations.
The stats shown here are reflecting Mitya on Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. These are the stats you would see on the stat screen before buffs and effects from the team and Artifacts are applied. Mitya's Elemental Burst is generally not worth using as a support, so no Energy Recharge is needed.
Mitya's Talent Priority
Almost all of Mitya's damage as a DPS comes from his Normal Attack talent, so it should be maxed first. His Elemental Skill and Burst here deal very little damage and can be left at low levels.
As a support, all of Mitya's Stellar-Conduct damage comes from his Elemental Skill, and he generally doesn't use the other talents at all, so they can be left unleveled.
How to Play Mitya
As an on-field DPS, Mitya's playstyle requires using the Hold version of his Elemental Skill, which makes his Gradient Beacons generate faster. He can then consume with his Charged Attack to deal Electro Stellar-Conduct damage for each. After all are consumed, Mitya can cast his Elemental Burst to instantly generate more and perform another Charged Attack.
Ultimately, Mitya's combo looks like: Elemental Skill (hold) > Charged Attack > Elemental Burst > Charged Attack.
As a support, Mitya's playstyle is very simple. He performs the Tap version of his Elemental Skill, and will continuously generate his Gradient Beacons up to once every 1.5s. Each Gradient Beacon will provide the team with 30 Elemental Mastery, so 120 total, 150 at Constellation 1. He will then deal Electro Stellar-Conduct damage every 1.5s as well.
He can use his Elemental Burst to instantly generate 3 Gradient Beacons, allowing the Elemental Mastery buff to reach it's maximum much faster, and allow his Stellar-Conduct damage to start sooner. However, it's generally not worth spending the extra field time on Mitya for this. So, Mitya's gameplay simply consists of casting his Tap Elemental Skill, then swapping to the next character in your rotation.
Mitya's Best Constellations
Mitya has some of the most powerful Constellations in the game, with most providing massive increases to his personal damage. Getting him to Constellation 2, or even just Constellation 1, will make him a substantially stronger DPS.
Mitya's Constellations make him a much better buffer. In particular, his C2 provides a strong amount of RES Shred and team-wide Elemental Mastery, resulting in a large team DPS increase.
