Layla SUPPORT build prioritizes her shield without building for personal damage. Regarding Weapon Choices:

  • Primordial Jade Cutter: This weapon sees more value on Layla when you're also investing into her damage to some extent.
  • Favonius Sword: Try to build some Crit Rate if using this weapon to trigger the passive consistently.
  • Freedom-Sworn: This weapon can be a good support option in teams where Layla can consistently trigger the passive.
Regarding Artifact Sets:
  • Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is by far the best option for Layla, it complements her kit perfectly by providing HP% along with a teamwide ATK% and Shield Strength buff.

Layla SUPPORT and DAMAGE build is a higher investment option than a pure SUPPORT build, choosing to sacrifice some shield durability in exchange for greater personal damage. Regarding Weapon Choices:
  • Harbinger of Dawn [R5]: Weapon ranking is assuming Layla is above 90% HP. As Layla is primarily used as an off-field character, she can usually have good uptime on the Harbinger passive.
  • Wolf-Fang: At [R5] this weapon performs similarly to Harbinger of Dawn [R5].
  • Favonius Sword: This weapon performs significantly worse than other listed options in terms of personal damage, but the extra particles for your team could be valuable.
Regarding Artifact Sets:
  • Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is by far the best option for Layla's shield durability, and very often the best set for team damage.
  • Blizzard Strayer (4): This is Layla's best set for personal damage in teams where enemies are affected by Cryo or Frozen.
Regarding Artifact Main Stats: While a HP%/Cryo/Crit build is ideal for personal damage, additional HP% Main Stats can be used to increase shield durability without a huge drop in personal damage as Layla's damage is partially HP scaling. Credits to Voidrev for the weapon ranking.
