Layla inGenshin Impactis not a highly unique character. Diona already exists as a Cryo Shielder, while Layla’sultimate is somewhat similar to Ganyu’s. However, while her kits are not very unique, the combination of Diona’s shield + Ganyu’s Burst AoE allows Layla to be a decent Support and Cryo Enabler at the same time.
The best build for Layla inGenshin Impactrevolves around HP, making her easy to build as she doesn’t demand specific artifacts.

Layla Best Build In Genshin Impact
The best build for Layla inGenshin Impactis split into three categories:
Shielder build Layla focuses onmaximizing the strength of herGenshin Impactshield. For this task, players shouldstack as much HP as possible.
Layla can useKey of Khaj-Nisutto maximize her HP, but those who missed out on this weapon can also opt forPrimordial Jade Cutterfor the 20% extra HP. Meanwhile,Sacrificial Swordallows Layla to reset the cooldown of her Elemental Skill, which means players can recast her shield if it breaks before the duration ends.
Support Layla still works as a Shielder, but her main focus would be to buff her teammates. For this, players can use:
For the artifact set,4pc Noblesse Obligecan grant ATK buff when Layla casts her Burst, while4pc Tenacity of the Millelithcan buff each time she deals damage with her Elemental Skill. Considering Layla will keep damaging enemies with her Shooting Star, she theoretically can maintain 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith’s effect with a decent uptime.
Players who have other Shielder or Healer in the team can also build Layla as a Sub-DPS. The best way to maximize her damage is by playing her in a Freeze team comp like theGenshin ImpactMorgana team.
Since Layla’s Elemental Burst scales with her HP, her Timepiece should have HP as the main stat. As for the weapons, Swords that grant Critical Rate or Damage and HP are great options.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
