Overview

Summer Mikoto is a rare breed of summer alt that is more clothed than the original. A welcome addition to the ranged Light roster, Mikoto packs a kit that’s primed to exploit the Paralysis-laden meta. Both his Paralysis and Crit aspects are seamlessly interwoven, and players who diligently apply Mikoto’s cyclical buffs will enjoy dropping a nuke every 24 seconds.

Strengths

Titanic Burst 

Even without both stacks, Radiant Bolt’s low SP cost makes it ideal for capitalizing on break windows. Be sure to weave in a Force Strike once every 12 seconds in order to enjoy Radiant Bolt’s massive multipliers against Paralyzed foes. 

Synergistic Kit 

Paralysis Shredder’s Crit modifiers are almost always present, amplifying Radiant Bolt’s damage even further. Skill 2’s STR and Crit mods last a whopping 30 seconds, just enough time to reacquire both stacks and drop an absolutely nuclear Radiant Bolt. 

Weaknesses

Sunlight / Wavelight Tracking

In chaotic fights, it may be difficult to keep track of which effect Mikoto is in / weave a Force Strike in between attacks. Failure to consistently gain both effects will greatly neuter Mikoto’s damage potential.  

Sun and Sea Description 

They couldn’t have worded it messier if they tried.

Dragon Recommendations

Daikokuten’s combo requirements are easily maintained from range. 

Corsaint Phoenix meshes well with Mikoto’s Paralysis.

Cupid offers powerful utility, and the increased Crit Rate also synergizes with Mikoto’s kit.

Lindworm is a usable budget STR option.

Weapon Recommendations

Budget Option: Holy Bow

Wyrmprint Recommendations

Pair 1

Both picks complement Mikoto's Paralysis and Crit focused kit. 

Note: Forest Bonds loses value since Mikoto's Force Strike does not deal damage. Consider Dear Diary instead for high-pressure content.
