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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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
