Layla is another average 4-star that really isn’t bringing anything new or fun to the table sadly. I’m just tired of not being excited for the new units in #genshinimpact

I've given up on Layla. 90 wishes in and I haven't seen one.
It really is a shame that Key of Khaj-Nisut can't trigger off field for instances of characters like her and Kuki Shinobu. Because otherwise, the sword would be perfect for her. HP substat plus gives party members an EM buff just like Diona does based on her max HP (not as much as Diona C6 at R1, but still makes up for the utility a bit). But no one wants to keep their healer on field for that long to wait for the 4 starts to slowly charge up and then shoot out. It's just not worth it.
The biggest problem I see with Layla is that fact that your energy generation TANKS if your shield ever gets broken. Whilst Diona's shield may be a bit weaker, you get a tonne of energy particles up front when using it. With Layla, you don't get many up front and you generate it over time with the stars, so if your shield ever breaks it's bye-bye energy generation
Level 80 Diona >>>>> Lvl 90 layla
Diona just gives way more utility than just a shield
As someone who doesn't have sacrificial bow despite of playing for 8 months… Layla is a blessing for me.
I honest do god cannot understand why every dipshit compares her to Diona rather then Zhongli….
She's awful. Why even waste time building her, let alone resources. Unless you like her then whatever
If you care about getting good 4 star characters, try to summon on banners with Fischl, Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xianling and C6 them (except for Benett, C5 him, since his C6 is situational). They will probably never make 4 star characters like them again, since they're actually really good. They're probably better than more recent 5 stars too, and more universal instead of being forced into niche comps. I'm pretty sure HoYo sees these early 4 good stars as mistakes.
New genshin players you dont need a shield. I am at AR 56 and I have a level 80 Barbara, C3 with 1058 defense, and no one, I literally mean NO ONE, Abyss included can kill her.
She's good with hu so I'm not complaining
Diona is better. Heals, shield and energy regeneration
Ah yes, another 3* Sumeru character.
When I heard you say “Diona’s healing rift” I just knew that the destiny 2 in you is showing.
She's Aight. Nothing really crazy
Layla sucks 🤷♂️
Idk when you plan to do the arcsys guilty gear with xslice. But if you wanted to do a thing where someone teaches you guys basics of the game, i don’t mind helping out I’m a pretty good notable player that happens like your channel. Anyhow just leave a comment or a like on this so I know to hit you up on discord or Twitter about it if you wanted to do that. Otherwise have a good thanksgiving with the fam.
(Not asking for anything from it btw I’m just trying to bring more depth to it so y’all don’t just end up mashing too hard.)
No because she copied half of Ganyus element skill and idle 💀
All i really care about is her great cryo application.
i'm here for guilty gear 😁👌
But I think she is needed for Tignahri as his dedicated shield, because he needs to shot his 3 shots without being interrupted by ELITE enemies.
Layla's stars generate whenever you use a skill and there's no limit to the number of stars, so you can use a character with multiple skill uses to get star fast, like Diluc, Sucrose, Xiao, Nilou or any character with a Sacrificial weapon.
Also, 40 energy cost means you don't even need an ER weapon on her. Favonius weapons or the emblem set on another character is easily enough energy to spam Layla's burst, especially at C2.
I found this new Abyss super easy, and I used lvl 70 Layla on my Hu Tao Yelan team.
I just wanted her c1 but nope. Got 3 haizu instead lol
i feel like diona shield is nonexistent tbh
mtashed misunderstood how her E works. you gain a star when anyone does a skill. the slugs all fire off automatically when there are four stars. you can fire about 8-12 slugs per rotation. especially good in quick-swap teams. she has 100% uptime on tenacity. build her because she's cute. no big deal. negligible difference to diona. all a mater of playstyle and account needs.
Love your reviews and the honesty that comes with it and vidoes never disappoint they always smack
I’m a new player should I build her or not?
So one big team I'm looking at that would be really interesting to Test would be Candace, Layla, Kokomi, and a flex fourth, looking at Yun Jin a a strong possiblity.
Honestly wasn't expecting a lot from her to begin with but I was quite surprised because her consistent cryo application is so good! I don't even care about her shielding, but I know it's good because of the 100% uptime. Anyway, I tried her on abyss floor 12 with the rifthounds and she's perfect for a fridge team! She's only level 50 with trash unleveled HP artifacts and level 4 talents, but she's already doing such a good support role in freezing the enemies in place so they get hit with the dendro cores! Just put her in a team where you often use their skill. In this case I used Kokomi, Nahida, and Kazuha with her. Such a fun experimental team.
To be honest I just wanted Layla because I like her design and I want to take pictures with her. With pity 0 I did two single pulls and got Jean so no more Layla for me lol. The game literally gave me a warning sign
Another point of utility that Diona brings is that she's a bow user. It's always handy in the overworld to have at least 1 bow user and 1 claymore/Klee/Zhongli if you don't want to have to switch characters/parties
Maaaan if only she was a hydro character…
and if you're fighting against the bleed wolves (forget the name) you'll definitely need a separate healer if you're using layla, as opposed to Diona who can handle shields and heal from the Wolf's bleed effect.
Jeez he is so dedicated to hating, he actually spent 12 whole minutes of his life in this domain
It doesn't matter I'm building her because she's cute. Her personality makes me happy as well, I have built diona and I'm bored of her. I want to try new things as well
Yeah she may not be the best at anything specific but man she's just so well rounded for freeze comps.
More importantly for me, she has some fun use in off-meta teams. Getting tired of min maxing in a game with no end game
I'm using Layla with Kokomi so it's perfectly fine that she doesn't heal. She works great for what I need on my hyperfridge team!
Just got my Diona yesterday, while having C4 layla LOL
I think she was made for the wanderer because she’ll protect him while he’s flying and will give him the crit buff. I bet their cool-downs will match
Heizou built as DPS/hypercarry hits like a truck, totally worth it. Thoma now is the most viable unit in burgeon teams ( and with the new artifact set coming he's going to be cracked), worth the primos. Childe is worth the primos. Yae not so much, but is viable. Layla is like Candace, Collei and Dori: some junk added to the banners to dilute the chances of getting good stuff.
Worst part is that they put ascention talents on these units for stuff that SHOULD be on the skill or burst, like xingqiu could have a passive that gives Damage reduction, but they added it to the skill and burst, and then properties like healing or scaling based of DMG bonus so you dont need to sacrifice dmg
That passive of layla that gives 2 stars everytime you throw a skill should definitely be added to the skill itself, and put raw stats, by example skill stars do a 25% extra dmg based on hp, something like that, yet they dont do it
Layla have stronger shield and like no CD on Q if u have enough ER, is just dont have heal like diona
So is her C4 synergy with Ayato not that great?
I think she is for Eula.. 🤔 I have Zhongli but i rather not have a shield than using Diona, and Layla would be my pick if I didn't had Zhon.
layla is a 5 star in disguise…😴
