Mika is a Cryo bow user in Genshin Impact who excels at dealing damage from afar. Her skills make her a valuable addition to any team. This guide will provide an overview of her abilities and how to make the most of them.
Normal Attack: Ice Arrows
Mika can fire up to five consecutive shots with her bow, dealing Cryo damage to enemies. Charged shots can be charged up to level 2, and hitting weak spots on enemies will deal extra damage.
