Weapons
Elemental Mastery
Provides Elemental Mastery and refunds energy after Burst, letting Nicole spam her skill to detonate cores without energy issues.
Energy Recharge
Renews energy for the whole team; pick if Burst uptime is lacking but expect lower personal Burgeon damage.
Elemental Mastery
Gives Elemental Mastery and a damage bonus when enemies are affected by Hydro or Pyro, both common in Burgeon comps.
Elemental Mastery
Secondary Elemental Mastery is great, and the leaf buff slightly helps the team; the ATK gain is a minor extra.
HP%
Only for budget; HP% doesn't help Burgeon damage, so avoid unless nothing else is available.
HP%
Provides Energy Recharge and restores energy when healed; decent for burst uptime but no Elemental Mastery.
Artifacts
Best set for a Burgeon trigger; the 4pc boosts Burgeon damage by 40% and another 25% after triggering.
Increases Elemental Mastery based on team elements; solid alternative with flexible 2pc and 4pc bonuses.
Two 2pc sets each giving +80 EM for a total +160; simple and reliable for scaling Burgeon damage.
Raises Pyro DMG and Burgeon damage by 40%; good option if you have a strong 4pc set.

Recommended Primary Stats
BURGEON
Using Thoma as a trigger for Burgeon. Slow Pyro application and frequent Fiery Collapse make this role effective; shields add defensive utility.
Weapon Choices:
High refinement on Kitain Cross Spear lowers Energy Recharge needs.
Dragon's Bane becomes viable at C4.
Favonius Lance requires CRIT Rate to trigger its passive.
Consistent healing enables Rightful Reward for Energy generation.
Artifact Main Stats:
Prioritize Elemental Mastery with enough Energy Recharge; use HP% for stronger shields given Burgeon self-damage.
Talent Priority:
Talent levels do not affect Burgeon damage—only shield strength.
SUPPORT
This build maximizes Thoma's potential as a SHIELD SUPPORT.
Weapon Choices:
Favonius Lance is best; build CRIT Rate to trigger passive.
Rightful Reward is hard to trigger in support roles but gives HP% and Energy when consistent.
Artifact Sets:
Instructor (4) shines in reaction-heavy teams like Hu Tao Vaporize, but 4-star substats strain building.
Deepwood Memories (4) supports teams with notable Dendro damage, e.g., Kinich.
