Mydei Best Builds, Teams & Relics

Character Overview

Mydei is a Main DPS focusing on dealing damage based on his Max HP rather than ATK. His kit revolves around sacrificing his own HP to build Charge, allowing him to enter his powerful Vendetta state and gain huge increases to his Max HP and damage output. Once Mydei enters Vendetta, he becomes much more difficult to control, as he will automatically use his Enhanced Skills while fighting independently. He can also survive multiple killing blows, restore a large amount of HP and continue fighting, making him an extremely durable DPS. However, this comes with the downside of having very little control over his actions outside of his Ultimate.

Overall, Mydei is a very unique DPS who turns losing HP into both offensive power and a way of powering up his Charge. His high HP, self-healing and ability to survive killing attacks make him a very self-sufficient character.

Kit Overview

Mydei's Skill consumes 50% of his current HP to deal damage based on his Max HP. As a blast attack it deals damage to the main target as well as nearby enemies, and the Enhanced versions of his Skill do not consume Skill Points, making Mydei very Skill Point-efficient.

His Talent is the most important part of his kit. Mydei gains Charge whenever he loses HP, with every 1% HP lost providing 1 Charge. Once he reaches 100 Charge, he enters Vendetta, restores some of his HP and immediately Advances his Action. Vendetta also increases his Max HP considerably, although his DEF is reduced to 0 while the state is active. During Vendetta, Mydei will automatically use Kingslayer Be King, an Enhanced Skill that consumes part of his HP to deal a large amount of HP-scaling damage. When he reaches 150 Charge, he gains an Extra Turn and uses Godslayer Be God. This powerful attack consumes his Charge and deals massive damage without using a Skill Point or taking up a normal turn.

Mydei's Ultimate is also important for keeping his kit running. It restores some of his HP, gives him additional Charge and deals HP-scaling damage to the target and nearby enemies. It also Taunts enemies for two turns, encouraging them to attack Mydei and helping him generate even more Charge. The Ultimate also marks an enemy, allowing his next Godslayer Be God to prioritise that target.

One of Mydei's biggest strengths is his ability to survive killing damage. When he would normally be defeated during Vendetta, he instead restores a large amount of HP and can continue fighting. His Bonus Traces make this even stronger, giving him additional chances to survive, immunity to Crowd Control during Vendetta and further bonuses to CRIT Rate, Charge generation and Incoming Healing based on his Max HP. When building Mydei, focus mainly on reaching 8,000 HP, which maximises the effects of his Traces and Talent.

Team Synergy

Mydei is a little different when it comes to team building because most of his damage comes from his Max HP rather than ATK like many standard DPS characters. This means characters that mainly provide ATK buffs aren't going to be as useful, so you generally want supports that can increase his overall damage, help him take more actions or provide useful HP related buffs.

Cyrene is one of the best characters to pair with Mydei and is a great addition to his strongest teams. Her Ultimate can trigger Mydei's Godslayer Be God while also giving it a large CRIT DMG increase, allowing him to use one of his strongest attacks more frequently and with even higher damage. Cyrene is definitely a character worth considering for his team. If you don't have Cyrene, Sunday is still one of Mydei's strongest alternatives. His Action Advance allows Mydei to take more actions, while his Energy and damage buffs help him use his Ultimate and powerful attacks more frequently. A team of Mydei, Sunday, Tribbie, and a healer is therefore still a very solid team if you're missing some of his newer teammates.

Hyacine is another strong choice, especially when she's being used alongside Cyrene. She provides the healing Mydei's team needs while also helping Cyrene build towards her Ultimate more consistently. Her HP related effects are also useful for Mydei, making Mydei, Cyrene, Hyacine and Tribbie a very strong team.

Tribbie is a great option for the remaining support slot. She provides buffs that Mydei can actually make good use of, including increased damage and RES PEN, while also dealing damage herself. This makes her particularly useful in a team where Mydei is already being supported by Cyrene and Hyacine.

Remembrance Trailblazer is another option if you don't have Tribbie or would rather use them in another team. They can provide additional support for Mydei while also working well with Cyrene, making them a good alternative without requiring another limited character.

Cerydra can also be used with Mydei, particularly in teams focused on getting more value from his Skill attacks. She can work very well alongside Cyrene, although I wouldn't say you need to use Cerydra if you already have Tribbie available.

For the sustain slot, Hyacine is the preferred option for the Cyrene teams, but characters such as Luocha and Gallagher can still work well if you don't have her. Mydei can take a huge amount of damage himself, but keeping the rest of the team alive is still important, particularly in longer fights. Overall, I recommend Mydei, Cyrene, Hyacine, and Tribbie as the most straightforward team to build around. If you have Cerydra and want to focus more heavily on Mydei's personal damage, she can also be used in place of Tribbie. If you're missing Cyrene, Sunday and Tribbie are still a strong combination to build around.
