A sturdy Cryo shield vs. the niche Physical support
Pick Layla if…
Pick Mika if…
Layla is a much more versatile and useful support for the average player. Mika is a dedicated specialist for Physical teams who struggles to find value outside of that specific niche.

Mika
With Layla
Layla provides Eula with a strong shield that is essential for protecting her during her long Elemental Burst stack-building window. She also enables Cryo Resonance for an extra 15% CRIT Rate, which is vital for ensuring Eula's massive burst explosion actually crits. Her off-field Cryo application also helps maintain the Cryo aura for Superconduct reactions.
With Mika
Mika is Eula's best-in-slot dedicated physical support, providing her with increased physical damage, ATK speed, and CRIT DMG (at C6). His healing ensures Eula stays healthy while she is facetanking enemies to build her burst stacks, and his Cryo application helps trigger Superconduct. Mika's buffs are perfectly timed to coincide with Eula's burst detonation for maximum impact.
With Layla
Layla provides Wanderer with a sturdy shield that prevents him from being knocked out of the air during his flight. Contacting her Cryo aura with his Elemental Skill grants him a 20% CRIT Rate bonus via his Jade-Claimed Flower passive, significantly boosting his damage. This pairing is one of the most comfortable and effective defensive options for Wanderer.
With Mika
Mika provides Wanderer with a valuable ATK speed buff, which allows Wanderer to fit more normal and charged attacks into his flight duration. His healing provides a safety net for Wanderer, while his Cryo application can be used to trigger Wanderer's passive CRIT Rate bonus. This synergy increases Wanderer's total damage output and overall combat fluidity.
