Mizuki is going to be the latest 5 star to join in the Genshin Impact 5.4 patch. Here’s everything you need to know about the new standard character!

5.3 has been a massive patch for Genshin Impact with both Mavuika and Citlali joining the roster. With the Lantern Rite coming in the later portion of 5.3, Genshin Impact 5.4 is looking a bit meek. But we are finally getting a new character to join the standard banner cast and it is Mizuki from Inazuma.

So, how good is Mizuki? Will she dominate the META or become someone disappointing like Dehya? Well that is what I will try to answer in this article. I will go over her kit and her overall potential.

Do keep in mind that all these information is gathered from leakers and Beta testers. Therefore, none of this is official and subjected to change if Hoyoverse wants.

Mizuki Kit Breakdown

To start off, this new character from Inazuma is going to take a Sub-DPS role in the game. She is an Anemo catalyst user focused on improving swirl based reactions.

Elemental Skill

When you tap her elemental skill, Mizuki will enter a dreamlike state. In this state, she will do Anemo damage overtime. Her movement speed is increased as she will float through the field. She will deal periodic Anemo damage and increase the damage of swirl reactions of her team.

Elemental Burst

Her elemental burst will summon a creature called mini baku. Baku will drop snacks around the field while it is active. It will follow any active character on the field once you press elemental burst. If the active character’s health is above 70% then the snack will explode otherwise it will provide healing.

How Good will Mizuki Be?

Well after seeing her kit breakdown, it is easy to say that she doesn’t offer something unique. But that is true for almost every standard banner characters. That being said, I don’t think Mizuki will affect the META in any way.

Her kit don’t have any grouping capabilities. While the swirl damage increase is a nice bonus, we already have characters that not only increases swirl damage but also provides grouping (ex. Kazuha, Sucrose).

The conditional healing is also something that has better alternatives. Like Jean will be a better candidate in this case instead of Mizuki. Therefore, in my opinion, Mizuki’s current kit is very disappointing.
