Misha Guide and Best Builds

Introductions

Misha is a 4-Star character with the Ice element who follows the Path of Destruction. Misha can play the role of a Main DPS and Sub-DPS, though he can also function as a support. While he doesn't provide allies with buffs or healing, he contributes high amounts of damage through his Ultimate. In addition, he can inflict respectable Toughness damage, Freeze enemies and reduce their DEF through his Eidolons.

Misha Build Comments

Character Overview Kit Overview Eidolon Overview

Character Overview

Misha is a 4-star Destruction character who serves as both a sub-DPS and a support. His gameplay revolves around his Ultimate, which becomes stronger as allies spend Skill Points. Every SP consumed by the team increases the number of hits on his next Ultimate, allowing it to reach up to 10 hits. Each hit deals single-target damage, scales in power and has a chance to Freeze enemies, giving Misha both offensive potential and crowd control.

Misha can be built in different ways. A damage-focused build maximises his Ultimate's burst potential, while an Energy Regeneration and Effect Hit Rate build prioritises frequent Ultimates and consistent Freeze application. The latter can be especially useful in teams that benefit from additional crowd control, though it generally sacrifices some personal damage.

Kit Overview

Unlike many damage dealers, Misha performs best alongside teammates that frequently consume Skill Points. His Talent rewards this play style by increasing his Ultimate's hit count and restoring 2 Energy whenever an ally spends SP, allowing him to use his Ultimate more often. His own Skill also contributes by adding additional hits while dealing Blast damage, making it an important part of his kit.

A large portion of Misha's power comes from his ability to Freeze enemies. His Traces significantly improve the consistency of this by guaranteeing a very high Freeze chance on the Ultimate's first hit and granting a substantial 60% increase in Effect Hit Rate during the attack. Misha also gains increased CRIT DMG against Frozen enemies.

Despite these strengths, Misha has several limitations. His Ultimate uses bounce targeting, meaning only the first hit is guaranteed to hit the chosen target while the remaining hits are distributed randomly among enemies. This makes him much stronger against single targets than groups, where his damage and Freeze application become less reliable. His Skill also offers only modest area damage, leaving him weaker in encounters with multiple enemies.

Eidolon Overview

Misha's Eidolons further reinforce his range of play styles by increasing his Ultimate's hit count, adding DEF reduction, boosting Ultimate damage and eventually refunding Skill Points after using his Skill. These upgrades improve both his damage output and supportive nature, making higher Eidolon levels noticeably more impactful.

Overall, Misha is a capable and unconventional character. Rather than serving as a traditional hypercarry, he excels as a secondary damage dealer who complements SP-hungry teammates while providing valuable Freeze support. Although stronger 4-star and 5-star options such as Herta can outclass him, players who build around his mechanics can still find him to be an effective addition to the right team.
