Layla is now only a few weeks away after the Genshin Impact Version 3.2 update. Read on for her skills, talents, materials, and more here.
Her ascension stat is Bonus HP%, granting up to 24% on her final ascension. She is a 4-star Cryo Sword character. Her Constellation is called Luscinia. Her birthday is on December 19th, so if you want a birthday mail from her as soon as possible, be sure to get her in her featured banner during Version 3.2, or hope to get her in the early days of Version 3.3.
She is a source of shielding, and scales mostly with Max HP%. While the role of Cryo shielder is currently monopolized by Diona, the introduction of Layla might offer more flexibility in regard to team composition that require a defensive character. Her first Constellation upgrade also allows her to generate a shield for nearby party members, albeit for a lessened absorption amount. However, another role that Diona takes up is as a Cryo Battery. There is not enough information on Layla's Particle Generation to determine if she can also match Diona in this aspect.
Layla's voice actors, birthdate, title, and occupation are all currently unknown.
Layla will be a featured 4-star on the second phase of Version 3.2, right after Nahida's banner. To read more about Nahida, check out our article on her skills, talents, and more here.

Layla Skills
Normal Attack: Sword of the Radiant Path
Normal Attack
- Performs up to 3 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack
- Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack
- Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill: Nights of Normal Focus
Puts forth a shield known as the Curtain of Slumber, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. The Curtain of Slumber’s DMG Absorption is based on Layla’s Max HP and absorbs Cryo DMG with 250% effectiveness.
Night Stars and Shooting Stars
- While the Curtain of Slumber is active, it will create 1 Night Star that will be attached to it every 1.5s. When a character protected by this shield uses an Elemental Skill, 2 Night Stars will be created. Night Stars can be created once every 0.3s in this way.
- A maximum of 4 Night Stars can be accumulated at any one time.
- Once the Curtain of Slumber has accumulated 4 Night Stars and there are opponents nearby, these Night Stars will transform into homing Shooting Stars that will be fired off in sequence, dealing Cryo DMG to any opponents hit.
- If the Curtain of Slumber’s duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends.
New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely.
“She and I are like two master artisans who have never met, yet who sit at the same cushioned seat, embroidering the same dream-flower.”
The shield absorbs (10.8% Max HP + 1040.01) at level 1, (19.44% Max HP + 2288.19) at level 10, and (25.65% Max HP + 3285) at level 15. This shield lasts for 12 seconds.
The cooldown of this ability is 12 seconds, meaning it can have 100% uptime so long as it is not destroyed.
Elemental Burst: Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker
Unleashes a Celestial Dreamsphere that constantly fires Starlight Slugs at opponents within its AoE, dealing Cryo DMG.
When a Starlight Slug hits, it will generate 1 Night Star for nearby Curtains of Slumber. Each Curtain of Slumber can gain 1 Night Star this way every 0.5s.
“Sleep now, sleep now; and may many destinies be revealed before your slumbering eyes, within your star-paved dreams.”
The Starlight Slug each deals 4.6% Max HP at level 1, 8.4% Max HP at level 10, and 11% Max HP at level 15. The Celestral Dreamsphere itself lasts for 12 seconds.
Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker is on a 12 second cooldown and costs 40 Energy. 100% uptime of the burst is possible.
