Genshin Impact Mika and Dehya Splash Art Revealed

HoYoVerse revealed the splash art for Dehya and Mika, who will appear as playable characters in a future Genshin Impact update. Both of them have already shown up in the game. Dehya was a major character for the Sumeru Archon Quest. Meanwhile, Mika debuted in the “Of Ballads and Brew” event during a brief cutscene.

Dehya will be a Pyro character. From our interactions with her in the story, we know that her nickname is the Flame-Mane and she is a well-known mercenary who occasionally takes up other jobs. Her Constellation name is Mantichora (or manticore). In Greek mythology, the manticore has the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. This is likely a reference to both Dehya’s lion motif (in both design and nickname) and her desert heritage.

Mika, on the other hand, will be a Cryo character. He is part of Eula’s Reconnaissance Company, and he is Huffman’s younger brother. Multiple members in the Knights of Favonius have mentioned him in their voice lines. In his brief appearance in the game, we could see that he was quite shy in his interactions with the Traveler. His Constellation, Palumbus, translates to Wood Pigeon.

Genshin Impact Version 3.4 will introduce Alhaitham and Yaoyao as playable characters. So it will be a while before you can pull for Dehya or Mika in Genshin Impact. Version 3.4 will go live on January 18, 2023. It will also have the Lantern Rite event, in which you can pick a free 4-star Liyue character for your party.

Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. More information on Dehya and Mika’s kits will appear closer to their release dates.
