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. Credits to Voidrev for the weapon ranking.
