Mitya's best build in Genshin Impact 7.2 is Elemental Mastery on Sands and Goblet, a CRIT circlet, 4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (or 4pc Gilded Dreams) and Starsealed Edict. He is a 5-star Electro Catalyst who turns every Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct, so his best teams always carry Cryo: Odette, Yae Miko and Valeriy at the top end, or Traveler (Cryo), Valeriy and Alyosha on a budget.
Mitya went live on November 4, 2026 with Version 7.2 "Hour of Ruin". His banner "Myriad Patterns Unfold" runs until November 24, 2026, 17:59 server time. This page was rewritten after launch with the in-game kit numbers. The pre-release leak notes are gone.
Mitya build summary (Genshin Impact 7.2)
Slot | On-field Mitya (hold Skill) | Support Mitya (tap Skill) |
|---|
Weapon | Starsealed Edict > Winter's Heavy Heart > Reliquary of Truth > Dawning Frost / Clash of Kings > Echoes of the Heart (free craft) | Wandering Evenstar, A Thousand Floating Dreams, Starsealed Edict |
Artifacts | 4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow or 4pc Gilded Dreams | 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith or 4pc Heart of the Furnace |
Sands / Goblet / Circlet | EM / EM / CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | EM / EM / EM or CRIT |
Substats | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, then EM, then Energy Recharge | EM until 500, then ER and CRIT |
Talent priority | Normal Attack > Burst > Skill | Skill > Burst |
Team needs | At least one Cryo unit. More Cryo and Electro teammates = more Stellar-Conduct and more Gradient Beacons |
Why EM and not an Electro goblet: Gradient Detonation, his Burst and his Steady State hits all scale with Elemental Mastery, and Stellar-Conduct is reaction damage. His ascension stat is CRIT DMG (38.4% at level 90), so most players balance the CRIT Rate side with the circlet.
How Mitya works: Stellar Linchpin and Stellar-Conduct
HoYoverse lists Mitya as an Electro DPS "who enables the party to trigger Stellar-Conduct and deals Stellar-Conduct reaction DMG in different ways". His character card shows a Stellar Linchpin (Electro) instead of a normal Vision. Three things set him apart:
He converts the reaction himself. His passive "Stellar Jubilee: Top-Secret Protocol" turns every Superconduct in the party into Stellar-Conduct. Odette and Traveler (Cryo) can do this too, but Mitya does not need them for it.
The Polestar Field follows your active character. With Mitya in the party you no longer have to fight inside a fixed circle.
Gradient Beacons replace Starlight Prisms. Each Stellar-Conduct creates 1 Gradient Beacon every 1.5s for 3s. Mitya carries up to 4 (5 at C1) and spends them for damage.
He also raises the Base Stellar-Conduct DMG of the whole party by 0.028% per point of his EM, up to 14% (reached at 500 EM). After his second ascension each Beacon he creates gives him +5% CRIT Rate for 15s, up to +20%.
Tap vs hold: Steady State and Overloaded
His Elemental Skill, Principle: Variable Detection, creates a Detection Core that lasts 25s (18s cooldown). How you press it decides his role. Tapping the Skill again within 6s switches the Core to the other state.
Input | Core state | What it does | Use it when |
|---|
Hold Skill | Overloaded | Charged Attack becomes Gradient Detonation (no Stamina). Each Beacon spent deals Stellar-Conduct damage. Teammates' Stellar-Conduct gives him 1 Beacon every 1.5s for 6s (A1) | Mitya is your on-field DPS |
Tap Skill | Steady State | The Core attacks on its own and spends Beacons for Stellar-Conduct hits. The party gets +30 EM per Beacon Mitya holds (A1), up to +120 EM | Another unit is on field (Sandrone, Wriothesley, Cyno) |
On-field rotation
Hold E on Mitya to place an Overloaded Core.
Swap to your Cryo and Electro teammates and use their Skills and Bursts. Every Stellar-Conduct now builds Gradient Beacons.
Swap back, use Burst (Analysis: Gradient Theory, 60 Energy). It adds 3 Beacons.
Hold Charged Attack to fire Gradient Detonation until the Beacons run out.
He stands still while firing, so a shield (Valeriy, Xilonen) or a healer (Alyosha, Qiqi) makes the rotation much easier.
Best Mitya teams
Team | Lineup | Notes |
|---|
Premium on-field | Mitya / Odette / Yae Miko / Valeriy | Odette is the strongest Cryo partner: her own Stellar-Conduct hits plus C2 RES shred. Yae keeps Electro up off-field |
Budget, one 5-star | Mitya / Traveler (Cryo) / Valeriy / Alyosha | Traveler (Cryo) is free in Snezhnaya. Charlotte or Rosaria (both on his banner) can take the Cryo slot |
Support Mitya | Sandrone or Wriothesley / Odette / Mitya / Alyosha or Qiqi | Tap Skill for Steady State. Mitya feeds the carry EM and moves the Polestar Field with them |
EM and shred | Mitya / Odette / Valeriy / Sucrose | Sucrose adds EM. Keep two Cryo/Electro units besides Mitya so Beacons keep coming |
Valeriy is the new 4-star on the same banner. He enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct inside a Polestar Field, shields the team and adds Electro damage. Because Mitya drags the field along, Valeriy stays in that state all the time. He joins the standard banner in the next version.
Odette build and her own team options are on the Odette build guide. The free Cryo route is on the Cryo Traveler build page.

Best Mitya weapons
Weapon | How to get it | Why it fits (R1) |
|---|
Starsealed Edict (5-star) | 7.2 Phase 1 weapon banner, until Nov 24 | CRIT DMG substat, +24% CRIT DMG, +48 EM after Skill, +24 EM per reaction stack (3 max). In Radiance: Stellar-Conduct each stack adds 12% Stellar-Conduct CRIT DMG |
Winter's Heavy Heart (4-star) | 7.1 weapon banner (not available now) | CRIT DMG 55.1%. In Radiance: Stellar Glimmer, +20 EM and +6% Stellar Glimmer DMG per Cryo or Electro party member |
Reliquary of Truth (5-star) | Past weapon banner | CRIT DMG substat, +8% CRIT Rate, +80 EM for 12s after Skill. The Lunar-Bloom half does nothing for him |
Dawning Frost (4-star) | On the current 7.2 weapon banner | CRIT DMG 55.1%. +72 EM for 10s after a Charged Attack hit, +48 EM after a Skill hit |
Clash of Kings (4-star) | Battle Pass | CRIT Rate 27.6%. +20% ATK and +100 EM after Skill, extended by Charged Attack hits |
Echoes of the Heart (4-star) | Craftable in Snezhnaya | ATK 27.6%. +60 EM for 12s after any reaction, +16% Stellar Glimmer DMG. Works off-field |
Wandering Evenstar / A Thousand Floating Dreams | Battle Pass / past banner | Support Mitya: party ATK or EM buffs |
You do not need Starsealed Edict for a working Mitya. If you already have Odette and Valeriy, the character is the better pull than the weapon. Echoes of the Heart costs a blueprint (10 Rimecurrant, 10 Lumifluorite, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal) plus 1 Borderland Catalyst Billet, 50 Rainbowdrop Crystals and 50 White Iron Chunks.
Best Mitya artifacts and stats
Set | Effect that matters | Pick it when |
|---|
4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow | 2pc ATK +18%. 4pc: +80% Superconduct DMG, and with the Snezhnaya update +40% Stellar-Conduct DMG; +16% CRIT Rate against enemies hit by Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct | Your CRIT Rate is low. Most players start here |
4pc Gilded Dreams | 2pc +80 EM. 4pc after a reaction: +50 EM per teammate of a different element, +14% ATK per Electro teammate (max 3 stacks) | Your CRIT is already good and the team has Cryo plus Electro |
2pc EM + 2pc EM | Wanderer's Troupe + Gilded Dreams = +160 EM | Placeholder while you farm |
4pc Tenacity of the Millelith | Party ATK +20% when his Skill hits | Support Mitya |
4pc Heart of the Furnace | Party Stellar Glimmer DMG +50% (does not stack with a second set) | Support Mitya, if nobody else wears it |
Stat targets for on-field Mitya: 600–700+ EM, CRIT Rate about half of CRIT DMG (his A4 adds up to 20% CRIT Rate in combat), Energy Recharge about 130–150% at C0. At C1 he refunds Energy from Beacons and needs much less.
Talent priority
On-field: Normal Attack first. Gradient Detonation lives on it and goes from 224% to 425.6% EM per Beacon. Then Burst (333.6% ATK + 667.2% EM at level 1), then Skill.
Support: Skill first (Steady State Beacon hits), then Burst.

Mitya constellations: where to stop
Constellation | Effect | Value |
|---|
C1 | Beacon cap 5, +1 Beacon on Skill, active character +40% CRIT DMG while the Core is up, 10 Energy per Beacon (once per 8s) | Best single step. Fixes Energy |
C2 | Enemies in the Polestar Field lose 20% Cryo and Electro RES. Steady State: party +123 EM. Overloaded: active character +234 EM | Natural stopping point for spenders |
C4 | Extra Stellar-Conduct hit (300% EM) every 5 Beacons consumed | Moderate |
C6 | Party Stellar-Conduct DMG Elevated by 20%, stronger Core | Whale only |
Is Mitya worth pulling?
Yes, if you already play Stellar-Conduct. Odette, Traveler (Cryo), Alyosha, Valeriy and Sandrone all get better with him, mainly because the Polestar Field now follows the active character.
Yes, for the November 16 Spiral Abyss. The official 7.2 notes list Floor 11 with +60% Electro DMG and a blessing that triggers on Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct.
Maybe skip if you have no Cryo characters you like, or you are saving for 7.3. He does not join the standard banner.
C0 is enough to clear content. Go C1 before the weapon if you spend.
