NO ZHONGLI? NO PROBLEM! Updated Layla Guide | Genshin Impact

I just got Layla and the new HP Sword in one multi pull. Thanks for this! I'm using the same line up, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Bennet and will slot in Layla. Thank you!

Could she use sky rider sword since it has base attack and energy recharge?

Layla is a big relief for those without zhongli and wanted some good shield with uptime . The fact she's cryo makes her even more better considering cryo resonance and team comps.

i’m building shield layla but her n bennet keep fighting over fav sword

There is a 3star green sword of energy recharge with 50%+ energy at level 90. Got it from banners. Im using that on my c1 layla

In Terms of Weapon Options for Layla i'm kinda screwed. I got Festering Desire, though. This should be also good enough for her, right? So, that i can give my Bennett the only R5 Favonius Sword i have from Layla to him.

do shields stack? sitting here thinking Layla + Kirara might make an excessively beefy combo.... and when combined with Kokomi, might be good for damage
also.. got C6 Layla cuz of this event.... I got her C5 drawing for Nahida on the last banner XD

Agree on everything, but two things. You might have said this, but activating her shield very close to enemies offers slight damage, and will actually help characters like wanderer get cryo (which can be finnicky). I've noticed it helps him get cryo by how close you activate the shield. But all I know is, your hp is only 25k? That's low for tenacity set. 30k minimum, unless you want a hybrid build with attach. I have 37k just by chance.

Wanderer and layla ❤❤😊

Yeah, Azdaha is the only time so far where I can't keep that shield up. He just breaks it easily, same with floor 12 of Spiral Abyss. Have her built quite well, those are the only times you'll see her shield break.

I got so hyped for this, and then minute 27 came... and I realized that Layla might not work for Azdaha, which is what I really need right now... :( Oh well, Primo saving for Zhongli now - thankfully his rerun is coming up <3

Layla is a great shielder and the fact that her shield last the same as her cooldown is easy to remember when youre swapping characters. Another thing is how her burst does not require a large energy and can be used once you reach the energy requirements. I currently have C5 Layla and use 2 2pc HP bonus artis for more tankiness of her shields and I have never regretted using her since I got her.

Because Layla, i can keep Straight my 36 star Abyss😭♥️♥️

i got layla on every banner. shes c6 before the event thats why i build her even though i have zhongli hahaha

Ever since I got her my account has changed so much, As a newbie I wasn't able to fight boss by myself before, I was so bad at dodging. having a combat was my least favorite thing to do on Genshin. Then Layla came she worked really well with my Wanderer, my play style has changed so much, it is getting fun with her. Now she never leave my spyrall abyss team. I don't have Zhongli and I don't think I need him rn but maybe I'll pull him next year to complete my archon collection. Layla just work really well❤️ Not only that she is very relatable as a student just like me.

Is Layla, kaeya, Mona, and traveler (anemo) good I have one 5* atm or what one is good I also have yao yao, heizou, Mika, razor, jun Jin , fishl and Noelle,with all free char with abyss characters, and starter wish, I may wish on zhongli or I lost my 50/50 last wish from Mona so I’m garenteed

Thanks for the guide! Got her in the event and love her so want to build her. I think she’ll be pretty good in a physical team so that’s my plan xD

Yup, layla is a super comfy character. She's good 👍
I used her the most for my wanderer.

leaks ahead!

the signature weapon of the hydro archon will also be a viable 5☆ sword for layla as it will have an hp% substat.

I use Klee - Nahida - Fischl - Layla as my team and I love it. I have Diona aswell but I like Layla more, even though I dont have any of the swords she wants yet since im quite new ^^ :3 Thanks for the video ^^

i do wish her shield stayed up 100% of the time instead of dropping for a split second regardless of timing to switch to her

has anyone actually ever gotten frozen from her having hydro applied ? because in my experience it has only removed the other element almost like a cleanse. i use her all the time so i am just wondering how this hasn't happened to me but i constantly see people talk about :')

i have zhongli but his shield doesn't shoot shiny, twinkling stars that are magical and dreamy and pretty

i want zhongli

I struggled with the combat event a lot…I have a meh team made up of characters I like….not so much characters that are good together😭 (Zhongli, Alhaitham, Yoimiya, and Kokomi) I know I need to build those 4 star supports but I hate the kid and cutesy characters 😂

my layla runs fav sword so to proc its effect more often i run a crit rate circlet on her. should i run hp circlet or keep this cr one?

I play her with yoimiya got inspired from yoimiya 2nd quest stars melt firework shield all works together

Sub to this guy and show him some love. He does good work and Genshin needs all of the good Content Creators that it can get to combat the click bait.

i dont care i built her because i like her design. the whole starry theme and astrology is right on point for me. still, zhongli remains my num 1 both character and gameplay vise i just use layla mosly in co op cause i dont have his c2.

I put fav sword, 2pc milith and 2pc vorkusha, crowned her shield. 4pc milith is inconsistent. U get the 4pc effect only for 4-5 sec depending on ur team comp. She is C4. She can tank!

If u can dodge a bit, she relives burden a bit till floor 11. I was able to play floor 12-2. I Don’t have good chars for 12-3, so please take it with grain of salt.

I love Layla and not only as a unit but her character design and the split personality is so cool, I'm not very good at making teams, currently I have Ayaka, Yelan, Kazuha and Layla as a team, is it good?

Layla, Razor, and Barbara carried me through AR47! I love her so much.

The best artifact for her is :
2 piece Tenacity of Milelith.
2 piece Vourukasha's Glow.
(20% HP + 20% HP)
Periodt.

Layla can help you easily get the achievement to clear Abyss Floor 5-3 with no damage taken. Her shield has been talked a lot, and it is really close to Zhongli's, but only if you build her full HP%/HP%/HP% + Tenacity. The best build is said to be a mix of HP/DMG, because her shielder build only protects you from damage but that is all there is to it, while Zhongli shreds enemy's defense (and thus adds to the overall team damage). That said, she's good in mono cryo teams (to battery and protect against unfreezable enemies) and situationally in teams where some characters need extra protection, but once I pull Zhongli, I'd rather use Zhongli in these latter teams.

Layla's shield is WAY stronger with 4-piece TotM set than the 2p-2p HP combination

would summit shaper be good on her? I got it alongside thundering pulse a year ago so I'm wondering if I can use it for the extra shield strength bonus

Can you showcase wanderer freeze team comp with layla ?

I approved as a Layla Main...plus I used 3 HP main , 1 Atk main, & 1 EM main ToM artifacts for her tank & elem reactions purposes which is great....same build goes for my Kirara, Shinobu, Sayu, Barbara, & Yaoyao.

hi, sorry if u already told in the video, but how much crit rate needed to proc fav sword passive?

I want to know how much c3 layla with key+high invested artefacts in abyss in Yoimiya teams

Guys I'm gonna be honest with you. I do have Zhongli. I still built layla. This is because she can work with elemental reactions and in some comps she can work even better than Zhongli. She's also more than enough to survive enemies attacks and not get staggered. She's a really good unit. People just put her in lower regard because older players play diona and zhongli.
I have Baizhu unlocked now though. But baizhu can't make a great Yanfei/Layla/Xingqui/Bennet team LMAO. Free melts and freezes for extra safety.

For free to play players, Layla has great value as a shielder. If we had her instead of diona in the time of zhongli, I can bet you everyone would have built her.

I came across your channel recently and looks like you have exactly the content I'm looking for

As a 1.0 player, I really like Layla - because variety is needed and she fills important slots for cryo and phys.
If you set everything important in a team building on one character only, it's easy to be countered by the Abyss or specific enemies when the weak spot of your team is the one character. If you also like to dodge & counterattack as playstyle, the only interesting thing about Zhongli is his res shred and interruption resistance of his shield. His role in cryo is coverred by Layla and C6 Rosaria, which is my goal atm.
I have with Shenhe, Rosaria and Layla everything covered to counter problems which will affect Zhongli, yet three different kits doing damage while supporting instead of one. So yeah, Layla can be very important to players who like to adapt their teams regularly.

Great timing seeing this. I'm building Layla atm. Wanted to know which things I should focus in on her. She'll go well with my Xinqiu.

I have Diona more built than her. Is Layla better for melt Ganyu?

Tbh she has the best design. Love it😊

Layla is my fave she’s into astrology and shares my bday 😭😍 but I don’t want to switch from the flute to sword of favonious bc it’s aesthetically pleasing 🥴 thanks for the guide!!

If you already have Zhongli she is generally not worth using unless she is c4 or above. She can be worth using with Wanderer because Zhongli happens to not synergize as well with him. Zhonglie resist shred is just really valuable for most other teams but not Wanderer.

My layla already C3 and 1 constellation more will unlock her full potential.. now Layla is pairing with hutao/bennet xiangling she is a good one but must count 10 second when you active her skill

nice video! Today I crowned my Layla and yes I have Zhongli too
