Genshin Impact Layla builds for Support and Shield role

sportskeeda.com:

The new Phase II banners from Genshin Impact bring a new 4-star character. Layla is a new Cyro support character that can provide a strong shield and deal Cryo damage.

Keep in mind that Layla isn't quite unique in her field, Diona already exists as Cryo Shielder but the former's burst is somewhat similar to Ganyu's burst. The combination of Diona's shield and Ganyu's Burst her AoE allows Layla to have proper support and cryo her enabler at the same time.

Layla's abilities revolve around HP, and the artifacts for her best build are relatively easy to farm.

Layla's best builds in Genshin Impact fall into two categories:

Layla's shield build primarily focuses on strengthening her shield in Genshin Impact. In shield builds, players will have to stack HP using artifacts and weapons. Hence, don't expect any contribution in damage dealing in this build.

For this build, players will have to stack HP on their artifacts. Hence, the best artifact set for Layla in this build will be the 4-piece set of Tenacity of the Milelith. Here are the set bonus effects of the artifact set:

For the shield build, Genshin Impact players can use the following sword weapons for Layla:

Both 5-star swords provide an additional amount of HP to Layla, which will strengthen her shields and increase damage. Sacrificial Sword, on the other hand, can reset the cooldown on Layla's Elemental Skill. Hence, she can create another shield instantly if the previous one breaks due to heavy damage.

Layla's support build also works as a shielder, but her main focus is to buff her nearby party members. For this, players will continue to stack HP on her to get that robust shield, but take advantage of the set bonus effects from different artifact sets.
