Layla has been added to the Genshin Impact 3.6 banner alongside Nahida and Nilou. She is a strong 4-star unit, due to her Cryo vision and support capabilities. For accounts that lack a dedicated shield character, ascending and building her is well worth the investment.
HoYoverse is careful about putting too much power in the hands of a 4-star character. While some share niche applicability, others typically boast a neutral usage. As for Layla, she is a Cryo unit that excels as a shielder in the game. Moreover, she is an excellent support to use in a Freeze team to keep her allies well protected.
Today’s guide will cover Layla’s ascension materials, along with her talent and weapon priorities. Travelers can follow the guide to effectively farm for her resources and artifacts in Genshin Impact.

Best weapons and artifact sets for Layla in Genshin Impact
Layla is a sword user in Genshin Impact that activates a Cryo shield that scales on her max HP. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of sword options that have HP% as a substat. However, she can use energy recharge weapons that will allow her to keep a burst uptime for more Cryo applications. Here are some of the best swords to use on her in the game.
- Kay of Khaj-Nisut(Undoubtedly the best sword option that offers a whopping 66.15% HP, with a passive that transfers elemental mastery to the nearby party members)
- Sacrificial Sword (Great for Energy Recharge and it also has a chance to refresh her shield)
- Favonius Sword (For a hefty ER% that will increase her burst regeneration)
Artifact sets
Lastly, her best artifact option in the game is the 4- Piece Tenacity of Milelith set. It provides her with 20% HP, 30% Shield Strength, and 20% ATK transfer to party members. Another great option is the 4-Piece Noblesse Oblige set that transfers 20% ATK to all party members when the equipping character activates the Elemental Burst. The Energy Recharge sword will synergize well with the “Noblesse build” to consistently buff out the team’s damage.
