SUPPORT The goal of this build is to prioritize Layla's 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. SUPPORT AND DAMAGE Layla's shield is very durable thanks to a good Base DMG Absorption and the number of Shield Strength modifiers she has access to. Furthermore, her personal damage scales well with Constellations (particularly 5 and 6). This 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]: This is a top choice, 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 [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 Mainstats: - A HP%/Cryo/Crit build is ideal for personal damage. However, additional HP% mainstats can be used to increase shield durability without a huge drop in personal damage as Layla's damage is partially HP scaling.

Nights of Formal Focus

"She and I are like two master artisans who have never met, yet who sit at the same cushioned seat, embroidering the same dream-flower."

Puts forth a shield known as the Curtain of Slumber, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
The Curtain of Slumber's DMG Absorption is based on Layla's Max HP and absorbs Cryo DMG with 250% effectiveness. When the shield is deployed, Layla will have Cryo applied to her briefly.

Night Stars and Shooting Stars
While the Curtain of Slumber is active, it will create 1 Night Star that will be attached to it every 1.5s. When a character protected by this shield uses an Elemental Skill, 2 Night Stars will be created. Night Stars can be created once every 0.3s in this way. A maximum of 4 Night Stars can be accumulated at any one time.
Once the Curtain of Slumber has accumulated 4 Night Stars and there are opponents nearby, these Night Stars will transform into homing Shooting Stars that will be fired off in sequence, dealing Cryo DMG to any opponents hit.
If the Curtain of Slumber's duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends.

New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely.
