Genshin Impact seems to have directly modeled a character after some of its college-aged fans. Layla, a somnolent student from Sumeru’s Academia, is a powerful Cyro shielder in practice. Here is how to build Layla in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Layla Build Guide - Layla’s Playstyle
Layla’s personal damage is almost negligible by comparison to her capability as a shielder and Cryo applier. She applies a shield as part of her Elemental Skill,Nights of Formal Focus, that scales based on Layla’s Maximum HP. While her shield is active it will create Night Stars, which will become Shooting Stars after four Night Stars have been produced. Shooting Stars are homing projectiles that deal Cryo damage. While you could build her to attempt to deal damage, we can’t recommend it over her capability as a support unit.
Best Weapons for Layla in Genshin Impact
Any sword that can boost HP is a good choice for Layla.Nilou’s signature weapon, theKey of Khaj-Nisut, is Layla’s best-in-slot weapon, though you may want to save the weapon for Nilou, instead. You could also use thePrimordial Jade Cutterif you are lucky enough to pull it from the Standard Banner. Otherwise, some good lower tier options to use include theFavonius Swordor theHarbinger of Dawn.

If you don’t have enough pieces to make a good set for her, you could use a four-pieceNoblesse Obligeset to generally support the party, but it pales in comparison to the first option.
