★★★★★
Stellar-Conduct DPS / Sub-DPS
A flexible Electro catalyst user who can create Gradient Beacons for on-field damage or team support.
BEST ARTIFACTS
ON-FIELD DAMAGE
Disenchantment in Deep Shadow · 4pc
Boosts Stellar-Conduct reaction damage and grants CRIT Rate against affected enemies. A strong full-set option despite its less useful two-piece ATK bonus.
FLEXIBLE 2-PIECE
2-Piece EM + 2-Piece EM
Combining two Elemental Mastery sets gives Mitya a reliable 160 EM. It is a flexible build for both his on-field and off-field roles and is easy to optimize with strong substats.
BEST WEAPONS
BEST IN SLOT · ★5
Starsealed Edict
542 Base ATK · 88.2% CRIT DMG
Mitya's signature grants CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery and additional Stellar-Conduct CRIT DMG after the team triggers reactions.
BEST 4-STAR DAMAGE · ★4
Winter's Heavy Heart
510 Base ATK · 55.1% CRIT DMG
A strong reaction weapon that gains extra value with Cryo and Electro teammates. Refinements significantly improve its EM and reaction bonus.
ACCESSIBLE EM · ★4
Sacrificial Fragments
454 Base ATK · 221 EM
The easiest high-EM option. Its cooldown reset can also make Mitya's Skill setup more flexible.
ENERGY OPTION · ★4
Etherlight Spindlelute
510 Base ATK · 45.9% Energy Recharge
Useful when an on-field rotation needs more Energy to cast Burst and create three extra Gradient Beacons consistently.
CRIT ALTERNATIVE · ★4
The Widsith
510 Base ATK · 55.1% CRIT DMG
A high-variance damage option. The Elemental Mastery song is excellent, while the other buffs are less consistent for his reaction damage.
RECOMMENDED STATS
SandsElemental MasteryEnergy Recharge if needed
GobletElemental Mastery
CircletCRIT Rate / CRIT DMGEM for pure support
Substats: Energy Recharge until comfortable → CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG → Elemental Mastery. For an on-field C0 build, aim for roughly 500–600 EM, 60–70% CRIT Rate, 155–180% CRIT DMG and 145–165% ER. C1 greatly lowers his Energy pressure.
BEST TEAMS
Mitya Stellar-Conduct
Odette enables Cryo, Yae adds off-field Electro damage and Valeriy protects Mitya during Gradient Detonation.
Shieldless Stellar-Conduct
Sucrose replaces the shield slot for EM, grouping and higher team damage. Best when interruption is not a problem.
Safe Reaction Core
Qiqi supplies healing and Cryo while Sucrose buffs EM. Valeriy keeps Mitya from being interrupted.
Budget Stellar-Conduct
Diona covers Cryo, healing and shielding while Sucrose shares EM and groups enemies.
ALTERNATIVES

BEST CONSTELLATIONS
GREAT STOPPING POINT · C1The Observer Seeking What Is Missing
Adds a fifth Beacon, creates one with Skill, grants the active character 40% CRIT DMG and restores Mitya's Energy.
BEST VALUE · C2The Matter That Slumbers Beyond Inertness
Shreds Cryo and Electro RES, then grants 100 team EM in Steady State or 200 EM to the active character in Overloaded State.
C3The Knotted String of Invariant Topology
Elemental Skill level +3. More valuable for his off-field Detection Core damage.
DAMAGE · C4The Isotopes Born of Decay
Adds a powerful EM-scaling Stellar-Conduct hit after the Detection Core consumes five Beacons.
C5The Periodic Law That Orders All
Elemental Burst level +3, strengthening Analysis: Gradient Theory.
PREMIUM · C6Elemental Transition at the Gate of Reason
Improves Beacon recycling and elevates all nearby party members' Stellar-Conduct reaction damage by 20%.
ABILITIES PRIORITY
ON-FIELD PRIORITY
Chain Reaction
Performs Electro catalyst attacks. With an Overloaded Detection Core and at least one Gradient Beacon, his Charged Attack becomes Gradient Detonation and consumes Beacons to deal repeated AoE Stellar-Conduct damage.
SUPPORT PRIORITY
Principle: Variable Detection
Deals AoE Electro damage and creates a Detection Core. Tap for the off-field Steady State or hold for the on-field Overloaded state; Mitya can switch the Core's mode shortly after casting.
SECOND PRIORITY
Analysis: Gradient Theory
Deals AoE Electro damage and immediately creates three Gradient Beacons. On-field Mitya uses them for another Gradient Detonation sequence.
On-field: Normal Attack → Burst → Skill
Off-field support: Skill → Burst → Normal Attack
PASSIVE TALENTS
ASCENSION 1
Baseline Stress Test
Enhances both Detection Core modes. Steady State grants nearby party members EM for each Gradient Beacon, while Overloaded helps Mitya generate Beacons after Stellar-Conduct reactions.
ASCENSION 4
Explosive Reagent: Safe Limits Exceeded
Extends Gradient Beacon duration and grants Mitya 5% CRIT Rate whenever he creates one, stacking up to four times for a total of 20% CRIT Rate.
STELLAR LINCHPIN
Stellar Jubilee: Top-Secret Protocol
Converts Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct and generates Gradient Beacons. Mitya's EM also increases the team's Base Stellar-Conduct damage, up to a 14% bonus at 500 EM.
EXPLORATION
Energy Catalysis
Lets Steady State Detection Cores quickly clear nearby destructible rocks and removes the Kresnik Energy cost of creating basic heat sources in supported Snezhnaya areas.

QUICK BUILD NOTES
Reach reliable Energy first
Make sure Mitya can Burst every rotation, then invest into CRIT and Elemental Mastery.
Skill → supports → Burst → Charged sequence
Create the Detection Core, set up Cryo and Electro, then consume Gradient Beacons with his enhanced Charged Attack.
Use Steady State
Tap Skill to keep the Core active while another character drives Stellar-Conduct reactions.
Keep Cryo and Electro together
Mitya needs consistent reaction triggers. Add shielding or healing if his Charged Attack sequence is interrupted.
MITYA BUILD FAQ
Can Mitya work at C0?
Yes. C0 already supports both on-field and off-field play. C1 improves Energy comfort, while C2 is the strongest early support upgrade.
Elemental Mastery or CRIT?
Use EM on the Sands and Goblet, then balance CRIT through the Circlet and substats. Pure support builds can lean further into EM.
What is his easiest weapon?
Sacrificial Fragments is the simplest accessible choice because it provides a large amount of Elemental Mastery and flexible Skill usage.
Which artifact set should I farm?
Gilded Dreams is the safest general set. Disenchantment in Deep Shadow is stronger for dedicated on-field reaction damage when its substats are competitive.
Does Mitya need a shield?
Not always, but interruption resistance makes his Charged Attack sequence much safer. Valeriy is the most natural defensive partner.
How much Energy Recharge is enough?
Start around 145–165% at C0 and adjust after testing. Favonius teammates and C1 can lower the requirement.
