Mitya has gone from a quiet presence in the Snezhnaya Archon Quest to the most tested name in the Version 7.2 beta. HoYoverse officially introduced him on September 29, 2026 as “Rules Set at Naught,” an Electro Stellar Linchpin, and several beta builds have since filled in his kit, signature catalyst, Constellations, and materials.
This guide turns that data into a complete Mitya build: how his two Skill modes work, the best weapons and artifacts, stat targets, talent priority, on-field and off-field team comps, Constellation value, and everything you can pre-farm before launch. It also covers Valeriy, the 4-star Electro support leaked to share his banner.

📌 Before you read: Mitya is not released yet. His kit, multipliers, and materials come from the Version 7.2 beta, most recently build v7.1.53, and can still change before launch.
The Version 7.2 Special Program had not aired when this guide was last updated on October 20, 2026, so every banner date below is an estimate. We will revise the numbers once the live client is out.
How Reliable Is This Mitya Build Information?
Every claim in this guide carries one of three labels, so you can separate official facts from beta numbers at a glance.
| Label | What It Means | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Official | Published by HoYoverse on HoYoLAB, in patch notes, or in the game itself. | Name, title, Electro Stellar Linchpin, Constellation name |
| Beta | Datamined from the Version 7.2 beta client. Values can shift between builds. | Talents, multipliers, Constellations, signature weapon, materials |
| Projection | Our estimate based on community testing or the six-week update cycle. | Release date, weapon and team rankings, stat targets |
Treat anything labeled Beta as a strong preview rather than a final spec sheet, since Mitya's multipliers and Constellations have already changed several times during testing.
Who Is Mitya in Genshin Impact?
Mitya first appeared in “Everwinter Without Mercy,” the Version 7.0 Archon Quest that opened the Snezhnaya arc, and leaks point to a lengthy Story Quest of his own in Genshin Version 7.2. Beta profile text describes him as an energy scientist working with Snezhnaya's Royal Energy Commission.
The clearest official clue about his kit came from a correction. HoYoverse changed his in-game Vision to an Electro Stellar Linchpin in a bug-fix note, and his September 29 character card uses the same label. Every Stellar Linchpin holder so far has been a 5-star built around the Stellar reactions.

Here is his profile as it stands in the latest beta build.
| Item | Details | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Name and Title | Mitya, “Rules Set at Naught” | Official |
| Constellation | Nodus Gordianus | Official |
| Element | Electro (Stellar Linchpin) | Official |
| Rarity | 5-star | Beta |
| Weapon | Catalyst | Beta |
| Ascension Stat | CRIT DMG, 38.4% at Level 90 | Beta |
| Level 90 Base Stats | 11,634 HP / 263 ATK / 792 DEF / 100 Elemental Mastery | Beta |
| Damage Scaling | Elemental Mastery (Stellar-Conduct damage) | Beta |
| Role | On-field Stellar-Conduct DPS or off-field support and sub-DPS | Beta |
| Expected Release | Version 7.2, around November 4, 2026 | Projection |
In short, Mitya is a 5-star Electro catalyst whose damage scales on Elemental Mastery while his ascension stat adds CRIT DMG, so he wants both reaction stats and crit.
Mitya Strengths and Weaknesses
His beta kit shows clear upsides and a few trade-offs worth knowing before you pull.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Switches between on-field DPS (hold Skill) and off-field support (tap Skill) on the same build. | Needs a Cryo partner, since Stellar-Conduct cannot happen without Cryo. |
| Converts the whole party's Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct, so he enables the reaction himself. | His DPS mode wants roughly 145% to 165% Energy Recharge to keep the Burst ready. |
| Gives the party up to 120 Elemental Mastery from off-field at C0. | Beacon management and Detection Core timing make rotations more involved. |
| Stellar-Conduct ignores enemy DEF and can CRIT, and his fourth ascension passive adds up to 20% CRIT Rate. | His largest damage jumps sit behind C1 and C2. |
The main takeaway is flexibility: one build covers both roles, as long as your account has a reliable Cryo teammate.
What Is the Best Mitya Build?
Use this quick reference if you only need the essentials. Both columns assume the latest beta values.
| Build Item | On-Field DPS | Off-Field Support |
|---|---|---|
| Best Weapon | Starsealed Edict (5-star signature, beta) | Wandering Evenstar or A Thousand Floating Dreams |
| Budget Weapon | Dawning Frost, Winter's Heavy Heart, or Etherlight Spindlelute | Wandering Evenstar or Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers |
| Best Artifacts | 4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow | 2pc Wanderer's Troupe + 2pc Gilded Dreams |
| Sands | Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge | Elemental Mastery |
| Goblet | Elemental Mastery | Elemental Mastery |
| Circlet | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or Elemental Mastery |
| Substats | Energy Recharge to target, then CRIT and Elemental Mastery | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery |
| Talent Priority | Normal Attack > Burst > Skill | Skill > Burst > Normal Attack |
| Best Team | Mitya, Odette, Valeriy, Sucrose | Cyno or Wriothesley, Mitya, Odette, Valeriy |
If you plan to use him in both roles, an Elemental Mastery and CRIT build with enough Energy Recharge covers almost every team in this guide.
Mitya Talent Priority
Your talent order depends on his role, because nearly all of his on-field damage comes from Normal Attack while his off-field damage comes from the Skill.
| Role | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| On-Field DPS | Normal Attack (Chain Reaction) > Burst (Analysis: Gradient Theory) > Skill (Principle: Variable Detection) | Gradient Detonation, his enhanced Charged Attack, sits under Normal Attack and carries most of his damage. |
| Off-Field Support | Skill > Burst > Normal Attack | The tap Detection Core deals his periodic Stellar-Conduct damage while he is off-field. |
Hold off on Crowns of Insight until launch, since the talent multipliers are still being adjusted between beta builds.
How Does Mitya's Kit Work?
Mitya's kit revolves around Gradient Beacons, a resource he gains through Stellar-Conduct and spends for damage. His Elemental Skill decides what those beacons do, so the tap and hold versions effectively give him two playstyles.
✎ A note on names: beta translations vary between builds. Some leak sites call his beacons “Variable Beacons” or “Polestar Prisms” and his Detection Core an “Energy Device.” This guide uses the names from the latest beta text, and the official English names will arrive with the live client.
Here are his three active talents with their level 10 values from the latest beta build.
| Icon | Talent | Key Values at Level 10 (Beta) |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Normal Attack: Chain Reaction | Gradient Detonation deals 302.4% on its first hit, then 403.2% of Elemental Mastery as Stellar-Conduct damage for every beacon consumed. |
![]() | Elemental Skill: Principle: Variable Detection | Tap 163.3% or hold 233.3%. The Detection Core lasts 25 seconds, and the cooldown is 18 seconds. |
![]() | Elemental Burst: Analysis: Gradient Theory | 600.5% ATK plus 1,201% Elemental Mastery, and 3 Gradient Beacons. Costs 60 Energy with a 15-second cooldown. |
The Burst carries his biggest single hit, but Gradient Detonation is where most of his on-field damage comes from over a full rotation.
Normal Attack: Chain Reaction
Mitya performs up to three Electro hits, and his regular Charged Attack spends Stamina for AoE Electro damage. When an Overload Detection Core is on the field and he holds at least one beacon, the Charged Attack becomes Gradient Detonation.
It costs no Stamina, deals one AoE Electro hit, then consumes beacons while held, with each beacon adding another AoE hit counted as Stellar-Conduct damage. This is his main damage source in DPS mode.
Elemental Skill: Principle: Variable Detection
The Skill has an 18-second cooldown, deals AoE Electro damage, and creates a Detection Core that lasts 25 seconds. The core you get depends on whether you tap or hold.
| Input | Detection Core | What It Does | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tap | Steady State | Deals periodic AoE Electro damage. Each beacon Mitya holds gives nearby party members 30 Elemental Mastery. Surplus beacons are consumed for 144% of Elemental Mastery each, and held beacons detonate for 165.6% of Elemental Mastery apiece when the core ends. | Off-field support and sub-DPS |
| Hold | Overload | Enables Gradient Detonation. After party members trigger Stellar-Conduct, Mitya gains 1 beacon every 1.5 seconds for 6 seconds. | On-field DPS |
Tap when another character holds the field and hold when Mitya is your carry. Tapping the Skill again within 6 seconds switches the core's state, once every 1.5 seconds, so you can change modes mid-fight.
Elemental Burst: Analysis: Gradient Theory
The Burst costs 60 Energy, has a 15-second cooldown, deals AoE Electro damage, and instantly creates 3 Gradient Beacons. In DPS mode it refills beacons for another round of Gradient Detonation. In support mode it is optional, so many players will skip it to save field time.
Mitya Passive Talents
His passives drive both the beacon economy and his team buffs.
| Icon | Passive | Effect (Beta) |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Stellar Jubilee: Top-Secret Protocol | Turns party Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct. Stellar-Conduct creates 1 Gradient Beacon every 1.5 seconds for 3 seconds instead of Starlight Prisms. Each point of Mitya's Elemental Mastery raises nearby party members' base Stellar-Conduct DMG by 0.028%, up to 14% at 500 EM. Inside a Polestar Field he enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct. |
![]() | Baseline Stress Test (1st Ascension) | Steady State: each held beacon gives nearby party members 30 Elemental Mastery, or 120 at the C0 cap of 4 beacons. Overload: after Stellar-Conduct, he gains 1 beacon every 1.5 seconds for 6 seconds. |
![]() | Explosive Reagent: Safe Limits Exceeded (4th Ascension) | Beacons last 10 seconds. Each new beacon gives Mitya 5% CRIT Rate for 15 seconds, stacking up to 4 times for 20%. |
![]() | Energy Catalysis (Utility) | Steady State can clear nearby destructible rocks. With Mitya in the party, crafting Prime Ice Construct: Basic Heat Source costs no Kresnik Energy. |
The 500 Elemental Mastery breakpoint on his main passive is the number to build around, since it maxes the 14% bonus for the whole team.
Mitya Beta Changes
Mitya has been adjusted several times during testing. These are the two Gradient Detonation multipliers that changed most, shown at talent level 10.
| Multiplier | Early Beta | V3 | V4 and Later |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gradient Detonation | 275.4% | 324% | 302.4% |
| Stellar-Conduct (EM scaling) | 367.2% | 432% | 403.2% |
V4 trimmed about 6.67% from V3, and build v7.1.53 kept those values while toning down C1, C2, and C4 and reworking C6.
🧠 Gameplay tip: In DPS mode, keep a Cryo teammate applying Cryo from off-field. Every Stellar-Conduct reaction feeds beacons, and every beacon means another Gradient Detonation hit plus 5% CRIT Rate.
What Are the Best Weapons for Mitya?
The ranking below comes from community beta damage calculations for his on-field DPS build. Relative damage compares each option to a common baseline and will shift once the multipliers are final.
| Rank | Icon | Weapon | Relative Damage | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() | Starsealed Edict (5-star signature, beta) | 122% | 88.2% CRIT DMG substat plus Elemental Mastery and Stellar-Conduct CRIT DMG stacks built for his kit. |
| 2 | ![]() | Winter's Heavy Heart R5 (4-star) | 109% | CRIT DMG substat and Elemental Mastery for each Cryo teammate, with extra EM and Stellar DMG in Radiance. Its ATK portion does little for him. |
| 3 | ![]() | Dawning Frost R5 (4-star) | 108% | CRIT DMG substat, and Charged Attack hits grant 144 Elemental Mastery at R5, which Gradient Detonation triggers constantly. |
| 4 | ![]() | Sunny Morning Sleep-In R1 (5-star) | 103% | A strong Elemental Mastery option if you already own it. |
| 5 | ![]() | Etherlight Spindlelute R5 (4-star) | 102% | Its 45.9% Energy Recharge substat covers his Burst needs, and casting the Skill grants Elemental Mastery for 20 seconds. |
| 6 | ![]() | Sacrificial Jade R1 (4-star) | 95% | A common 4-star that keeps him close to the top picks. |
| 7 | ![]() | The Widsith R5 (4-star) | 94% | A budget fallback for accounts without the options above. |
Winter's Heavy Heart and Dawning Frost both land within about 12% of the signature, so a refined 4-star is a reasonable stopping point if you skip the weapon banner.
Team buffs matter more than personal damage when Mitya plays off-field, so the support ranking looks different.
| Icon | Weapon | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Wandering Evenstar (4-star) | The best 4-star support pick. It periodically shares an ATK buff based on his Elemental Mastery with the team. |
![]() | A Thousand Floating Dreams (5-star) | Matches the signature's support value and adds Elemental Mastery for the party. |
![]() | Starsealed Edict (5-star signature, beta) | Still solid, but most of its value is personal damage. |
![]() | Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (3-star) | A free team ATK buff on swap. Only useful when the next character scales on ATK. |
Pair Wandering Evenstar with Elemental Mastery main stats to stretch its shared buff further.
Starsealed Edict, Mitya's Signature Weapon (Beta)
Earlier beta builds listed the signature catalyst under a placeholder name, but build v7.1.53 names it Starsealed Edict, with the passive Dawnstar's Flowing Trail. Its stats are below.
| Stat | R1 | R5 |
|---|---|---|
| Base ATK (Level 90) | 542 | 542 |
| Substat | 88.2% CRIT DMG | 88.2% CRIT DMG |
| Passive CRIT DMG | +24% | +48% |
| Elemental Mastery on Skill Cast (20 seconds) | +48 | +96 |
| Elemental Mastery per Stack (max 3) | +24 | +48 |
| Stellar-Conduct CRIT DMG per Stack | +12% | +24% |
At R1 with full stacks, the passive adds 60% CRIT DMG to Stellar-Conduct hits and 120 Elemental Mastery, which explains its large lead over every other catalyst.
The Skill grants Crystal Compounding for 20 seconds, and each Elemental Reaction a party member triggers during it adds a Law of Combustion stack. Recasting the Skill resets the stacks. Ascension uses The Frost Emperor's series of weapon domain materials.
What Are the Best Artifacts for Mitya?
Stellar-Conduct is a transformative reaction, so Elemental Mastery and CRIT matter far more than ATK. These sets came out on top in beta testing.
| Priority | Icon | Set | Bonus | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() | Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (4pc) | 2pc: ATK +18%. 4pc: Superconduct DMG +80%, Stellar-Conduct DMG +40%, and +16% CRIT Rate against enemies affected by either reaction. | On-field DPS |
| 2 | ![]() | Wanderer's Troupe (2pc) | +80 Elemental Mastery from each pair, 160 in total. Flower of Paradise Lost (2pc) also works as one of the halves. | Support, or DPS while farming the 4pc |
![]() | Gilded Dreams (2pc) | |||
| 3 | ![]() | Tenacity of the Millelith (4pc) | 2pc: HP +20%. 4pc: Skill hits give the party ATK +20% and stronger shields, and his Detection Core can trigger it from off-field. | Teams with ATK-scaling carries |
| 4 | ![]() | Heart of the Furnace (4pc) | 2pc: ATK +18%. 4pc: party Stellar reaction DMG +50%, and it works while the wearer is off-field. | Off-field support |
Start with Disenchantment in Deep Shadow if Mitya is your carry. If he supports, a 2pc Elemental Mastery mix is easier to farm and nearly as effective.
Mitya Artifact Main Stats
Main stats follow the same logic in both roles, with Energy Recharge as the only real swing slot.
| Icon | Slot | On-Field DPS | Off-Field Support | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Sands | Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge | Elemental Mastery | Use Energy Recharge if your weapon lacks it and you are below C1. |
![]() | Goblet | Elemental Mastery | Elemental Mastery | Gradient Detonation and Stellar-Conduct scale on Elemental Mastery, so beta testing favors it over Electro DMG Bonus. |
![]() | Circlet | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or Elemental Mastery | Stellar reactions can CRIT, and his passive plus the 4pc set supply up to 36% CRIT Rate. |
The Elemental Mastery goblet is the one choice that holds across both roles.
Mitya Substats and Stat Targets
Aim for these ranges, which come from community beta calculations.
| Stat | On-Field DPS | Off-Field Support |
|---|---|---|
| Elemental Mastery | 500 to 600 | 450 to 550 |
| Energy Recharge | 145% to 165% | About 100% |
| CRIT Rate | 60% to 70% | 60% to 70% |
| CRIT DMG | 155% to 180% | 155% to 180% |
Reach 500 Elemental Mastery first, because that is where his passive's 14% team bonus caps. The DPS Energy Recharge range assumes Etherlight Spindlelute, so plan on an Energy Recharge sands with other weapons.
Which Mitya Constellations Are Worth It?
Beta testing shows large damage jumps at C1, C2, and C6. The value column compares his on-field DPS against C0 and was calculated on an earlier build, so expect slightly smaller gains after the latest adjustments.
| Icon | Constellation | Effect (Beta v7.1.53) | DPS vs. C0 | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | C1: The Observer Seeking What Is Missing | Beacon cap rises to 5 and the Skill creates 1 extra beacon. While the Detection Core is out, your active character gains 40% CRIT DMG. Creating a beacon restores 10 Energy, once every 8 seconds. | 138% | Best single copy |
![]() | C2: The Matter That Slumbers Beyond Inertness | While the core is out, enemies in the Polestar Field lose 20% Cryo and Electro RES. Steady State gives the party 123 Elemental Mastery. Overload gives the active character 234. | 180% | Biggest spike |
![]() | C3: The Knotted String of Invariant Topology | Elemental Skill level +3. | 180% | Filler for DPS |
![]() | C4: The Isotopes Born of Decay | Every 5 beacons consumed while his own Detection Core is out adds an AoE Electro hit worth 300% of Elemental Mastery, counted as Stellar-Conduct. | 214% | Moderate |
![]() | C5: The Periodic Law That Orders All | Normal Attack level +3. | 243% | Solid for DPS |
![]() | C6: Elemental Transition at the Gate of Reason | Steady State cores deal 115% of their original damage. Overload cores give each consumed beacon a 34% chance to create a new one. Party Stellar-Conduct DMG is also Elevated by 20%. | 364% | For heavy spenders |
C0 is a complete kit, C1 fixes his Energy needs, and C2 adds team-wide RES shred, which makes C2 the natural stopping point for spenders. As a support, his gains are smaller, roughly 110% at C1 and 136% at C2.
What Are the Best Mitya Team Comps?
Every Mitya team needs at least one Cryo character. He converts Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct on his own, so the Cryo slot only has to provide steady off-field Cryo application. The teams below come from beta team lists and will be re-tested at launch.
On-Field Mitya Hypercarry Team
This lineup has his highest damage ceiling in current beta testing.
| Position | Icon | Character | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | ![]() | Mitya Hold Skill | Spams Gradient Detonation using beacons from constant Stellar-Conduct. |
| Cryo Enabler | ![]() | Odette | Off-field Cryo and Stellar reaction DMG buffs, plus 20% RES shred at C2. |
| Support | ![]() | Valeriy | Party shield and Offensive Directive stacks that boost Stellar-Conduct damage. |
| Flex | ![]() | Sucrose | Sucrose adds Elemental Mastery and grouping. Yae Miko adds off-field Electro and a 50% Stellar DMG buff at C1. |
![]() | Yae Miko Alternative |
Odette and Valeriy are the fixed pieces here, while the flex slot depends on whether you need grouping or extra Electro.
A typical rotation for this team runs in the order below.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Valeriy: Elemental Skill for the shield and 40 Impact Momentum, then a Charged Attack to fire Direct-Fire Mortar and grant 15 Offensive Directive stacks. |
| 2 | Odette: Elemental Skill and Burst to start off-field Cryo. |
| 3 | Sucrose or Yae Miko: Skill and Burst for Elemental Mastery or extra Electro. |
| 4 | Mitya: hold Skill for the Overload core, cast Burst for 3 beacons, then chain Gradient Detonations while Stellar-Conduct refills beacons. |
Keep Valeriy's Burst for longer fights, since Electro hits during its Thunderburst Shell barrage refill his Impact Momentum.
Off-Field Mitya Support Team
Tap Skill turns Mitya into a sub-DPS and Elemental Mastery battery for another Stellar-Conduct carry.
| Position | Icon | Character | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | ![]() | Cyno | Holds the field and triggers Stellar-Conduct. |
![]() | Wriothesley Alternative | ||
![]() | Sandrone Alternative | ||
| Support | ![]() | Mitya Tap Skill | Steady State damage, up to 120 Elemental Mastery, and the 14% Stellar-Conduct base DMG bonus. |
| Cryo Enabler | ![]() | Odette | Off-field Cryo and Stellar buffs. |
| Flex | ![]() | Valeriy | Shield and Stellar-Conduct buffs, or extra off-field Electro. |
![]() | Yae Miko Alternative |
This version costs Mitya very little field time, so his Burst becomes optional and Energy Recharge can stay near 100%.
Budget Mitya Team
If you do not own Odette, standard-banner and 4-star characters still cover every slot.
| Position | Icon | Character | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | ![]() | Mitya Hold Skill | Carries the team with Gradient Detonation. |
| Cryo Enabler | ![]() | Qiqi | Off-field Cryo. Cryo Traveler also enables Stellar reactions and adds a 7% Stellar base DMG bonus. |
![]() | Cryo Traveler Free alternative | ||
| EM Support | ![]() | Sucrose | Elemental Mastery sharing and grouping. |
| Support | ![]() | Valeriy | Shield and Stellar-Conduct damage buffs. |
Apart from Mitya himself, this team only asks for characters most accounts already own or can pull on the same banner.
How Does Stellar-Conduct Work With Mitya?
Stellar-Conduct is the Electro and Cryo Stellar reaction that Sandrone introduced in Version 6.7. Odette, Vesna, and Cryo Traveler can enable it too, and Mitya reshapes how its rewards are delivered.
Here is what the reaction does and where Mitya changes it.
| Mechanic | Details |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Electro and Cryo react while a Stellar enabler such as Sandrone, Odette, Vesna, Cryo Traveler, or Mitya is in the party. |
| Polestar Field | Counts Electro and Cryo applications from the whole party over 4 seconds, then sets the next 4 seconds of buffs from that count. |
| Field Buffs | Electro and Cryo DMG Bonus rises from 20% at 0 hits to 40% at 12 hits, the base reaction coefficient climbs to 2x, and enemies lose 40% Physical RES. |
| Damage Type | Transformative, so it ignores enemy DEF and can CRIT. |
| Mitya's Change | Stellar-Conduct creates Gradient Beacons instead of Starlight Prisms, turning the reaction into a resource he spends for damage or team Elemental Mastery. |
That beacon conversion is why players call Mitya a new carry rather than another enabler: the reaction itself becomes his ammunition.
How Does Valeriy Support Mitya?
Valeriy is a 4-star Electro sword support with an ATK ascension stat in the beta, and HoYoverse revealed him on September 29 as “Fort Fulguration.” Early leaks credited him with 120 Elemental Mastery and a 20% Stellar-Conduct bonus, but his beta kit works differently.
Those figures actually match Mitya's own beacon buffs, and Valeriy cannot enable Stellar-Conduct by himself.
His beta kit centers on a shield and a stack-based damage buff, with values shown at talent level 10.
| Icon | Talent | Effect (Beta v7.1.53) |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Elemental Skill: Active Defense: Bastion Charge | AoE Electro damage, 40 Impact Momentum, and a Supercharged Shield that scales with ATK and absorbs Electro DMG at 250% efficiency. 10-second cooldown. |
![]() | Charged Attack: Direct-Fire Mortar: Point-Blank Bombardment | At 40+ Impact Momentum, the Charged Attack consumes the gauge for AoE Electro damage and grants 15 Offensive Directive stacks for 18 seconds. Each stack boosts one Electro hit from the active character, and during Stellar-Conduct only Stellar-Conduct damage uses them. |
![]() | Elemental Burst: Focused Fire: Lightning Salvo | AoE Electro damage plus a Thunderburst Shell that rains down a barrage of AoE Electro hits. 60 Energy, 15-second cooldown. |
![]() | Advance With the Creeping Barrage (1st Ascension) | Electro hits by the active character while the shells fall grant 5 Impact Momentum each, up to 80 per Burst. |
![]() | Into the Breach (4th Ascension) | Each Impact Momentum point consumed raises the Offensive Directive bonus by 0.9% of ATK in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, or 0.3% otherwise. |
![]() | C2: Ranks That Charge as One | The Skill gives the party 100 Elemental Mastery for 18 seconds, and excess Impact Momentum strengthens the shield. |
![]() | C6: The Strength to Breach Enemy Lines | Direct-Fire Mortar and Thunderburst Shells deal 100% more damage. Enemies hit take +10% Electro CRIT Rate for 7 seconds, and Stellar-Conduct hits gain +40% CRIT DMG. |
Valeriy is not required, but his shield and Offensive Directive stacks fit Mitya's Stellar-Conduct damage closely, and he can hold the support slot until the Tsaritsa arrives.
How Is Mitya Different From Sandrone?
Both characters live in the Cryo and Electro Stellar-Conduct core, so comparisons come up often. They complement each other more than they compete, as the table shows.
| Category | Mitya | Sandrone |
|---|---|---|
| Character | ![]() | ![]() |
| Release | Version 7.2 (expected) | Version 6.7 |
| Stellar-Conduct Role | Turns the reaction into beacons he spends | The original Stellar-Conduct enabler |
| Team Buff | Up to 14% Stellar-Conduct base DMG and 120 Elemental Mastery | Up to 14% Stellar base DMG |
| Together | Beta team lists pair a tap-Skill Mitya with Sandrone and Odette | Holds the field while Mitya supports |
If you already run Stellar-Conduct with Sandrone, an off-field Mitya slots straight into that team. For her setup, see our Sandrone build guide.
What Materials Does Mitya Need?
The full beta material list for Level 90 and all three talents at Level 10 is below. Vajrada Amethyst is shared with Valeriy, which makes it the safest thing to farm today.
| Icon | Material | Total | Source | Pre-Farm Now? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Vajrada Amethyst Sliver | 1 | Electro bosses | Yes |
![]() | Vajrada Amethyst Fragment | 9 | Electro bosses | Yes |

![]() | Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone | 6 | Electro bosses | Yes |
![]() | Shattered Stability Anchor | 46 | Normal Boss (beta) | Unconfirmed |
![]() | Crystalfold Local Specialty | 168 | Snezhnaya (beta) | Unconfirmed |
![]() | Chimeric Core | 36 | Common enemies | Yes |
![]() | Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus | 96 | Common enemies | Yes |

![]() | Mora | About 5,377,500 (ascension and talents) | Ley Lines and general play | Yes |
![]() | Hero's Wit | About 420 | Ley Lines and general play | Yes |
Most of this list already exists in the live game, so only Crystalfold and the Shattered Stability Anchor have to wait for confirmation in Version 7.2.
What You Can Stockpile Today
These resources will carry over no matter how his final kit lands.
- Vajrada Amethyst from Electro bosses, enough for Mitya and Valeriy.
- Chimeric enemy drops, Charity talent books, and Masks of the Virtuous Doctor, which are already farmable.
- About 420 Hero's Wit to take one character from Level 1 to 90.
- At least 5.4 million Mora, plus extra for his weapon and artifacts.
- Disenchantment in Deep Shadow pieces with Elemental Mastery and CRIT stats.
- Primogems and Intertwined Fates, including free rewards from the latest Genshin codes.
Clearing this list before launch means only his new boss drop and local specialty stand between you and a finished Mitya build.

Should You Pull for Mitya?
Your answer depends on how much of the Stellar-Conduct core you already own.
- Pull if you run Stellar-Conduct. Owners of Odette, Sandrone, Cyno, or Wriothesley get either a dedicated carry or a strong off-field support.
- Pull if you want one unit for two roles. The same Elemental Mastery and CRIT build works on-field and off-field.
- Consider skipping if you already own Odette and Yae Miko. Early estimates put his gain over a filled fourth slot at roughly 5,000 to 10,000 DPS, which is thin for about 80 pulls.
- Consider saving if the Tsaritsa is your priority. Version 7.2 makes a reasonable saving window before the Version 7.3 Archon banner.
- Stop at C0 or C1 unless you spend. C0 is complete, C1 fixes Energy, and C2 is the best stopping point for spenders.
Our provisional verdict: pull at C0 if you play Stellar-Conduct, pair him with Valeriy, and reassess Constellations after launch.
Primogem Budget for Mitya
These are the worst-case costs for a guaranteed Mitya and his signature weapon.
| Scenario | Wishes Needed | Primogems Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Mitya, winning the 50/50 | Up to 90 | 14,400 |
| Mitya, guaranteed after losing the 50/50 | Up to 180 | 28,800 |
| Signature weapon with Epitomized Path set | Up to 160 | 25,600 |
A free-to-play player is projected to earn around 83 to 84 limited pulls across Version 7.2, so a full guarantee usually needs savings from Version 7.1.
What Is the Final Verdict on Mitya?
Mitya is shaping up as the piece that turns Stellar-Conduct from a reaction you activate into a damage engine you control. His beacons tie every part of the kit together, and one Elemental Mastery and CRIT build lets him carry on-field or support off-field.
Valeriy keeps the cost low, and the Version 7.3 Tsaritsa banner gives you a clear reason to plan Primogems through both updates. For the bigger picture, see our Tsaritsa preview and Danica preview.
All of the numbers here still come from the beta. GamsGo will update this Mitya build guide with final multipliers, weapon rankings, and team tests once the Special Program and live client confirm them.
FAQ
When Will Mitya Be Released?
Mitya is expected in Version 7.2, which should launch around November 4, 2026 if the six-week cycle holds. His banner phase is not confirmed yet. The Version 7.2 Special Program, expected around October 23 to 24, should confirm dates, so treat every estimate as provisional.
Is Mitya a DPS or a Support?
He can be either. Holding his Skill creates an Overload core for on-field Gradient Detonation damage, while tapping creates a Steady State core that deals off-field damage and gives the party up to 120 Elemental Mastery. The same Elemental Mastery and CRIT build covers both roles.
What Is Mitya's Best Weapon?
His signature 5-star catalyst, Starsealed Edict, leads beta calculations by a wide margin thanks to its CRIT DMG substat and Elemental Mastery stacks. Winter's Heavy Heart and Dawning Frost are the best 4-star options, and Etherlight Spindlelute helps with Energy Recharge. Wandering Evenstar suits support builds.
What Artifacts Should Mitya Use?
Use 4pc Disenchantment in Deep Shadow for on-field DPS, since it boosts Stellar-Conduct DMG by 40% and adds CRIT Rate. For an off-field support, mix two 2pc Elemental Mastery sets such as Wanderer's Troupe and Gilded Dreams. Use an Elemental Mastery goblet in both roles.
Do I Need Valeriy to Play Mitya?
No, but he is a natural partner. His shield keeps Mitya safe during Charged Attack chains, and his Offensive Directive stacks boost Stellar-Conduct damage. Valeriy does not enable Stellar-Conduct alone, so you still need a Cryo teammate such as Odette, Qiqi, or Cryo Traveler.
How Many Primogems Do I Need to Guarantee Mitya?
Genshin's 5-star pity is 90 Wishes, and losing the 50/50 guarantees the featured character within 180. That means up to 28,800 Primogems for Mitya alone. His signature weapon can take up to 160 more Wishes, or 25,600 Primogems, with Epitomized Path set, so plan both budgets before launch.
