I didnt pull a layla yet but been playing her in the test run a lot. She seems to be quite interesting to me but i love her design sooo much. I feel like she'll be nice in many many team comps like morgana

[@ptolemaios1590]

Hey Moga, love the video as per usual. I have a recommendation for a Layla comp though. The concept is a Yoimiya melt vape comp. As you correctly observed, pyro triggered melt isnt widely used due to the underlying systems of the game; as shown by elemental gage theory, pyro strips of cryo aura incredibly quick. The short of it being, you need a lot more cryo to keep melting pyro attacks than you need hydro to vape pyro attacks. An important note to this is that their are different damage modifiers at play here. When pyro vapes it is granted a base 1.5x damage boost, when it melts, it gets a 2x damage boost. The idea of the Yoimiya melt vape would take advantage of two things: 1. Yoimiya has a long ICD making it so she can only react her first, third, and last normal attack. 2. Vape will be there to maintain consistency while melt will give you some occasional extra powerful hits. Another side note, is Zhongli res shred is often not used by Yoimiya due to the short range it has two conditions that need to be met, the shield has to be up and the enemies have to be close. According to Keqing mains website, the range is about 3 abyss tiles if looking at the tiles on the lower floors. A team for this would look like: Yoimiya, Yelan/Xingqiu, Layla, Bennett. Yelan would start and use her skill and ult, followed by Layla doing the same, Bennett using ult, and Yoimiya doing her normal thing. This comp has promise for multiple reasons, that aren't limited to: 1. Shield. Not as strong as Zhongli, but since you won't feel bad for going all in on it due to her low personal damage(unlike Zhongli where you have to pick) it does have promise. 2. Freeze, enemies will occasionally get frozen which will help out the shield. 3. Hydro and Cryo won't steal reactions from Yoimiya; since the result of their reaction is a frozen enemy, those two reacting without Yoimiya will grant a guaranteed melt hit for Yoi. 4. At C4 Layla, Yoimiya would get a normal attack buff that scales of Layla's HP which on top of providing tenacity buff and occasional melts, she could easily join Yoimiya's nice long list of good support options. I hope this helps someone and I hope you give it a shot Moga, the freeze may be inconsistent at times, but think of it as a double crit when it happens. Doing this domain myself, I was able to have Yoimiya land a hit on midnight Masanori for 182k, though it was with Diona and not Layla. Layla should make it work way better since she has ranges application. Keep up the good content, I'll be looking forward to your next one. Sorry for the long response, there was a lot to cover on the how's and why's.

ive actually been using a yoimiya melt vape comp ever since i got yoimiya and put her as a filler on my main team, accidentally found out and its pretty great though i use a different team comp: ganyu, yoimiya, venti and yelan. yelan starts doing her skill and ult, then ganyu uses her ult, then venti uses his ult and yoimiya uses E and starts attacking the thing about my team comp though, is that even after the ults end you can keep going: use yoimiya ult, then switch to ganyu and do charged attacks mine has only limited 5*s, but you can easily replace venti for sucrose (or bennett if single target) and yelan for xingqiu

@@yamaatsuimiihu sounds solid, I don't have Venti unfortunately. My go to for melt vape has long been Yoimiya, Yelan Elegy, Diona C6, Bennett C6. This team gives a crap ton of EM to Yoi and really helps her hit hard. You can see it in practice if you check out the sole video on my channel where I landed that 182k on midnight Masanori. It's fun, but if enemies leave the circle you no longer get melts. This was my hope for Layla is that she'll get rid of circle impact and let me set up camp in Bennett's AoE and go to town on the enemies.

I feel like Layla would be an incredible support for Razor. One of the things he really needs to be able to shine is someone to help him consistently apply off-field Cryo damage to enable Superconducts for his Physical damage, and until now all of his options for that had some kinda downside to them. Rosaria and Diona's off-field Cryo application is confined to specific areas. Qiqi's follows you around and heals, but doesn't generate energy for your team. Kaeya's also follows you around, but... his constellations. Layla's Cryo application follows you around, lasts for a long time AND comes with a shield to protect Razor while his Burst is up. She sounds like his best option so far for a Superconduct enabler.

[@malfunctioninghero]

This isn't going to be a universal team, but I really love my Kaeya as a main dps, and Kaeya, Layla-full-HP%, Xiangling, and Kazuha is a very comfortable team! I think if I owned the crit damage sword I could make this team work in spiral, but it doesn't have the dps for that floor 12 shenanegans (maybe c6 layla though idk). This team is so great for overworld though!

[@crematedfelony]

want to say that my kaeya has a crate sword (40/190 crit) with 2pc blizzard only and his side is the faster one in abyss against my yoimiya who suffers a lot from low hp/Squishiness, it sounds like a team that could definitely work :] especially with two super meta units like kazuha and XL

[@ImNeon_]

I don't think its fair to ever compare shield strength with Zhongli because 1. He's a 5* rarity unit with broken shield stats as it is 2. Layla has 4* capabilities that never really rival 5* period (except for the 4 starter 4* at the beginning of the game 3. I guess it would make more sense to compare it with Diona's shield instead

As far as 3 goes, I think it is fair to compare her to Zhongli, as her main use will be filling his slot, for those of us that don't have him. So knowing how she stacks up is worthwhile. As far as the four stars she competes with, Diona is definitely one, since they are both cryo and shielders. The other one she'll compare with is Thoma. Admittedly, not the most used four star, but I do think her kit is overall better than his (ignoring his Burgeon team niche).

[@Jonny5Fails]

Use her as your flex in your non-nilou bloom teams (including hyperbloom and burgeon). The cryo lets you get more blooms. Also works pretty well in teams that use both yelan and xingqui like Hutao and Yelan vape - the hydro res gives her bonus HP and makes her shield stronger.

[@catsoberno7416]

I feel like she is overlooked, Jade Cutter + C4 makes her a strong dps (Increases dmg of basic dmg by 5% of herself and teammates) and jade cutter gives HP + She gets more dmg based off her hp. Jade Cutter helps with scaling abilities and giving her the high strong attack for being a main. Just put her with double HP, use jade cutter (r2 is best) and she can be easy to use and build

[@umphambhukeliuniverse9573]

I’ve been using Layla in Ayaka freeze instead of Diona and tbh, I’ve been having so much fun! I can’t quite pin point why, but applying cryo with her burst or shield and then swirling with Kazuha is more enjoyable than doing it with Diona.

I got Layla to C6, lvl 80/80, and 1/11/10 and I kinda have similar mixed feelings about her like she’s alright though there are a few things I noticed while testing her out. One is that when she doesn’t have her burst up, the pace at which she generates stars on her shield can be a little irregular unless you micromanage your rotations and skill casts which does affect the tenacity buff by a small margin. She seems better fit for quickswap team comps with frequent skill casts to maximize her star generation and subsequent buffs rather than a main dps with significant field time. Another thing is about her uptime which technically CAN be 100% but I’ve found that in a lot of rotations her shield drops at conveniently bad times whereas Zhongli’s shield duration overlaps, Thoma’s refreshing shield has nearly infinite uptime if built properly, and Diona has healing to fill in the gaps. I still think her shield is strong but similarly with Thoma it’s more effective in certain team comps than others but I do find myself having to consider her team comps and rotation order more than like Thoma or Zhongli.

One thing I notice with her is that Layla can raise her shield faster than Zhongli because she doesn't have to hold her skill in order to summon her shield. That can cut down a second or two during abyss battles. 😊 I hope to get more constellations for her, I have her at C1 atm 😁

[@Chysil]

Think you hit the nail on the head. She's great for character that really need a shield to perform (ganyu and yoimiya) and the zhongli shield is overkill. It'd probably say she's a better match for ganyu due to cyro resonance (with yoimiya I usually run yun jin + zhongli for geo resonance). But in both cases, there are times where you'd be happy to sacrifice a bit of shield strength for the cryo application. She also takes less field time than zhongli since you have to use hold skill and his burst takes a fair amount of time in animation lock. Probably not as good as zhongli, but she's 4* and sometimes you care more about waifu > meta

She's possibly good with fridge (hydro, dendro, cryo) since it protects from the bloom explosions, possibly good for Eula (shield+battery), in cryo teams in general and it's pretty much the second strongest shield, easy to build and one of the best tenacity proc users. I suspect she will also decent or synergize kind of nice with certain upcoming character too

[@tasnuk]

Just to refresh your memory: Geo shields have absorption to EVERY element, including physical. Elemental shields have additional absorption against their own element. So taking that into account, it's obvious who would come out on top as a shielder.

[@AAngel-qs1uh]

Layla servived 2 hits from mastanori,s 3 lightning imbued hit while zhongle servivied 3 hits it's like 5 to 10 percent off from zhongle

[@mrkenjamin1705]

You could actually do a variant in your god mode series where if the 4* you're going to showcase is not yet C6 but you're doing a god mode, you'll call it a "Demi-God Mode" Showcase, but later when you finally get their C6 that's where you can actually make their God mode Showcase. you can showcase their potential while they're at cheap level of investment but later with their C6 you can showcase them again to see the difference

[@kazuhamainbibi4814]

I wanted to raise here just because of here looks and her suthing voice!

[@neilgondra7379]

I'm just surprised she's that flexible compared to the 4 stars we have in sumeru, she is very good in her role as a shielder and a cryo applier, and that's the only servings she will bring to the table and the constellations are just the sides to make the main course better. She's such a balanced character. If you guys going to debate that She's a downgrade Diona, at least she doesn't feel like it, minus healing.

[@daltonwilliams8541]

I am currently enjoying Dps kyea freeze, with yelan and water boy with nealu. Kyea is on aquilla with blizzard, fav yelan, sac water boy for fast star procs, and triple hp tenacity nealu with jade cutter. She only does about 2k per star and 5k with her ult tic, but it feels nice. With jade and hydro res her shield is my second strongest. What little damage it doesn’t block heals back soon with rain swords.

[@mewmama1]

She also may be really good in a superconduct team

[@fahadF5]

Since u have her , can u check if she will be better shielder than zongly with youimia since she can make some melt with her isn’t that more DPS than having zongly?

[@kaye114]

My friendship team rn is yae albedo nahida and layla, and I’ve called it my afk team. As a meta slave it’s not the best when it comes to overall damage and ttk but it’s quite fun just putting yae albedo and nahidas skill down and just chilling in Layla’s shield animation 😂

[@Reaper-jw8zt]

If you want fairly compare her to another shield maybe you could do Diona

[@OlexiVR]

she is excellent for ganyu, because she also sometimes adds damage to her charged attacks

[@kasuha]

I have feeling Layla might be similar case like Shinobu. She seems to be good at applying cryo triggering elemental reactions so particularly in freeze/superconduct team she might shine with pure EM build.

[@KamronA]

Question! Does anyone know what's up with Yoimiya and Childe being in Chinju Forest with three kids looking for a Yokai? They even have voice lines like it's an event, but I don't see any event tied to it. Is this a new random slice of life thing that characters will be getting?

[@dawn973]

Camera event

[@KamronA]

@@dawn973 But they have nothing to do with the camera event. Camera event is taking pictures of the area and they aren't even in the pictures. Even what they are talking about has nothing to do with what you have to do there. If it's because of the camera event it's not tied together well at all because it seems like a different thing altogether.

[@christopheantoine5472]

@@KamronA there was a quest featuring Childe and Yoimiya, that was announced for this patch. Proly starts right after the camera event ?

[@KamronA]

@@christopheantoine5472 Was there? If that's true, then maybe this is a little preview event before the main event? It all seems so weird. I found out that they moved to just outside the forest today with the next camera event so maybe it's tied to the camera event even if they say nothing about the camera event or are even in it. Guess I'll find out in time

[@onyx3939]

ive heard shes good in fridge teams, (a bloom team with a cryo in it to freeze enemys, also doesnt steal hte bloom reactions)

[@marcelfab7551]

My dedicated shield tester is Ajdaha elemental transition!

[@x7OO]

i think she's good in melt yoimiya team especially at c6, with xinquie that can result in good freeze hits for yoimiya's big normal atk hits (3rd and 5th)

[@Spencer0090]

super agree with your comment on not tanking everything since it would just take the fun away,. i use Zhongli with a sub-dps build too since his burst hits pretty decent why not use it 😆😆

[@canismajoris513]

If Layla was Cryo archon that would be really cool, plus she has whit e strands of hair that could glow when using her burst.

[@Khak1]

I think shes pretty good for people who don't have Zhongli (me) lol

[@dynnelsam]

you can use zhongli shield and layla shield at the same time and the damage will counts individually

[@dynnelsam]

the shield doesn't stack so u can test it this way

[@darylewalker6862]

Shields don’t stack. Each of your shields gets shaved from damage as if they were the only shield. This keeps a team of 4 shielders from being immortal.

[@rae8577]

i think the main problem with layla (at least for me) is that in basically every scenario she would be useful for, diona usurps her- diona has a shield, healing, way better upfront cryo particle generation, cryo application during burst, AND a pretty significant em buff during burst at c6. meanwhile all layla has is her shield and some decent cryo application (her damage is basically negligible especially at c0). granted, her shield is stronger than diona’s, but she’s no zhongli. it’s just not enough to make up for everything else she lacks. the one exception to this would be in a hu tao team, but even hu tao teams appreciate a little healing and everything else diona provides so layla’s really only on par with diona in that regard and not significantly better than her.

[@BenjiGamre]

i think a freeze comp would be good, with kazuha, Yelan, and ayato with Layla

[@Dani-it9vc]

As a Ganyu main I'd love to play around with her c4 but I haven't even gotten her c0 yet sadly

[@mwoooof]

she's definitely a better replacement for my diona, because I already have kokomi in my ayaka freeze team

[@orein1880]

I really hope i can get her because as a diluc main i really want to tryout a melt comp. And also because i have a yoimiya with an r3 rust collecting dust

[@ztyronhendricks7132]

cryo slime is literal why my freeze team is benched ayaka is living on the shelf

[@Akeyins]

I've been using her in Heizou freeze teams and it's been a blast just watching him pummel everything with no risk of dying because he has the shield and everything's frozen

[@RewZes]

Layla can work really good in a melt team with Yoimya and Hutao as well since shes kinda like a cryo Xinqiu albeit more weak

[@marckharin]

Her shield is very strong. Considering that here her shield is only at level 6, only at level 80, and 44k HP shows how good it is

[@Bogo_Bowls]

Layla, shenhe, Kokomi, Kazuha. Pretty comfy team

[@shatteredspace4495]

Seems like she’ll be good in Morgana teams, fridge teams, and Ayato freeze. We’ll probably get another dps soon that uses their elemental skill a lot and works well with her, although I don’t understand the trend of making so many of these new four-stars deal such pathetic damage. I know she’s a support, but I just don’t get why they’d build half her kit to deal damage and then give her both split scaling and really low multipliers.

[@voidnegate7422]

I’m going to do a Eula yae Layla and kuki team cus I think that could be really good to repeatedly superconduct

[@NickMirambeau]

eternally depressed I couldn't get her to replace Diona in my Ganyu, Kokomi, Kazuha, Diona team. the literal only issue with that team is shield uptime, and Layla solves that problem AND lets me buff Ganyu with 4pc Tenacity. I'd do quite a bit less dmg bc Diona buffs Kazuha with EM on her ult, and can also run elegy to buff Ganyu, but replacing her with Layla would give me a much more comfy rotation bc 100% shield uptime, and would ALSO let me give Elegy to Kujou Sara to buff my future Shogun 😔😔

[@tartaru749]

once I had layla, she never left my team after that

[@Relevart9169]

i wonder if pale flame works on Layla with her stars

[@ashishitD]

Her shield goes down after getting the 2nd star after the 1st star barrage.......if burst is not up Seeing the number of stars. Accumulated will help u decide if her shield is goes down or not

[@vin2164]

I hope they give her to us in an event

[@NerdEmoji1067]

I was really disappointed with her damage but her shield is honestly almost Zhongli level. The cryo application is amazing for characters who need it.

[@kai-dy2tb]

BEEN WAITING! thanks for making these videos! 💖✨️

[@riaxue]

unfortunately i can't get layla because i'm saving up for hu tao and i'm way too close to 5 star pity so i don't wanna risk it. when i eventually get her though i'll def build her 😊😊

[@newagesoup]

great guide makes me wanna roll for her since i dont have zhongli and my main is yoimiya but raiden tho….

Hi moga c: congrats on 555k
