Layla – Genshin Impact Character Guid

Pros

Cons

Easy to collect artifacts : Layla’s main stat is her health. It determines how much damage Layla can absorb and how much damage she can deal with her E. Shield Deals Damage : As E lasts, Lyla generates stars. These turn into Meteors after six seconds, which attack nearby enemies. Profitable Ultimate : For 40 energy, you can get an ultimate move. Accelerated leveling : Ascension can help in leveling Layla, as it increases her health points. All of Layla’s usefulness as a character is based on them.

Not the best carry : if there is an idea to give her more damage, the shield’s ability to absorb incoming damage will suffer. Balancing the characteristics will be more difficult. Low damage : E-shka won’t do much damage, except to put Cryo status on opponents.

Layla’s talents and abilities

The main move that Layla uses is an elemental skill. It creates a shield and generates Cryo projectiles. This is her main move as a support hero and a shielder. At the same time, the ult also helps: during the effect, Meteors are generated, which fill stacks for the E-shka.

Best partners for Layla

Layla’s ability to inflict Cryo status from her pocket can work well, for the Superconductor reaction – it will be enough to add the Electro character to her and supplement the pack with several Cryos:

• Eola;
• Rosary;
• Raiden;

If your soul asks for games with explosions, multiple reactions and a show, then you can consider a squad for the Melting and Steam reaction with possible Freezing. The example shows five-star characters, but they can be replaced with four-star ones. For example, take Xing Qiu instead of Ye Lan:

• Hu Tao;
• Ye Lan;
• Furina;

Constellation Laila

As you obtain duplicates of Layla, you will unlock stars in her constellation “Nightingale”. Constellations C2, C4, and C6 will be useful for Layla.

Constellation level	Name	Description
1	Fortress of Fantasy	The ultimate shield absorbs 20% more damage. At the same time, after pressing E, all heroes not protected by a shield receive shields that can absorb 35% more of their basic defense value. Additionally, the ability to absorb cryo damage increases by 250%.
2	The power of light	Each Meteor hit by E can restore one unit of energy to Layla, but can only do so once.
3	Secrets of the Long Night	E-shki’s skill is increased by three. Maximum level is 15.
4	Starlight	When firing Meteors at enemies from the Elemental Skill, nearby allies gain the Twilight Star effect. It increases the damage of normal and charged attacks by 5% of Layla’s maximum health. The effect lasts for three seconds and disappears almost immediately after hitting an enemy.
5	Stream of consciousness	Ultimate level increases by three. Maximum level is 15.
6	Radiant Flame of the Soul	Meteors from both the ult and E-shka deal 40% more damage. In addition, their respawn time is reduced by 20%.

This is where the guide ends. The stars whisper: “Luck will be on your side.” And who are we to resist the will of the heavenly bodies that write our destiny?
