Till 2023 October, there have been four wish events to get Layla in Genshin Impact:
1st: Everbloom Violet from November 18, 2022 to December 6, 2022;
2nd: Farewell of Snezhnaya November 18, 2022 to December 6, 2022;

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.
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. When the shield is deployed, Layla will have Cryo applied to her briefly.
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.
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.
While the Curtain of Slumber is active, the Deep Sleep effect will activate each time the Curtain gains 1 Night Star:
The DMG dealt by the Shooting Stars fired by Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 1.5% of Layla’s Max HP.
When Layla crafts Character Talent Materials, she has a 10% chance to receive double the product.
The Shield Absorption of the Curtain of Slumber generated by Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 20%.
Additionally, when unleashing Nights of Formal Focus, she will generate a shield for any nearby party members who are not being protected by a Curtain of Slumber. This shield will have 35% of the absorption of a Curtain of Slumber, will last for 12s, and will absorb Cryo DMG with 250% effectiveness.
When Shooting Stars from Nights of Formal Focus strike opponents, they will each restore 1 Energy to Layla. Each Shooting Star can restore Energy to her in this manner once.
Increases the Level of Nights of Formal Focus by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
When Nights of Formal Focus starts to fire off Shooting Stars, it will grant all nearby party members the Dawn Star effect, causing their Normal and Charged Attack DMG to increase based on 5% of Layla’s Max HP.
Dawn Star can last up to 3s and will be removed 0.05s after dealing Normal or Charged Attack DMG.
Increases the Level of Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Shooting Stars from Nights of Formal Focus deal 40% increased DMG, and Starlight Slugs from Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker deal 40% increased DMG.
Additionally, the interval between the creation of Night Stars via Nights of Formal Focus is decreased by 20%.
Layla is a support character, so she can fit almost any team composition that benefits from a shielding support and a cryo enabler. That being said, she can also be played purely as an enabler.
She’s the kind of character that can do most of the things you want her to, except main DPSing unless, of course, you create a team that centers around only just that.
Just like what’s said above, Layla is super flexible with a lot of characters that can benefit from her Cryo applications such as Klee and Yoimiya for their melt reactions. She can also be a really effective partner for basically any DPS that needs Cryo in their lives for their elemental reactions.

Layla works well in Freeze comps and Physical teams.

Yelan
Yelan, teaming with Kokomi, produces Hydro resonance furthering the strength of the shields and damage of Layla.
Ayaka
Ayaka will be the main damage dealer.
The best weapon for Layla should be either The Key of Khaj-Nisut, which increases her HP and Elemental Mastery, or Primordial Jade-Cutter, which increases HP and ATK%.
There are a few other swords good for Layla as well.
For example, the 3-star Harbinger of Dawn, which can perform as above 5-star options in damage output if you can keep Layla’s HP above 90%.
Base ATK 542 | HP 14.4%
(66.2%)
Sunken Song of the Sands
HP increased by 20~40%. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, you gain the Grand Hymn effect for 20s. This effect increases the equipping character’s Elemental Mastery by 0.12~0.24% of their Max HP. This effect can trigger once every 0.3s. Max 3 stacks.
When this effect gains 3 stacks, or when the third stack’s duration is refreshed, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members will be increased by 0.2~0.4% of the equipping character’s max HP for 20s.
Base ATK 542 | CRIT Rate 9.6% (44.1%)
Protector’s Virtue
HP increased by 20~40%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2~2.4% of the wielder’s Max HP.
Base ATK 608 | Energy Recharge 12% (55.1%)
Sky-Piercing Fang

Base ATK 454| Energy Recharge 13.3% (61.3%)
Composed
After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40~80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30~16s.
Base ATK 354 | Energy Recharge 11.3% (51.7%)
Determination
Using an Elemental Burst grants a 12~24% increase in ATK and Movement SPD for 15s.
Tenacity of the Millelith and Noblesse Oblige would be the two best artifact sets for Layla.
Tenacity of the Millelith does everything Layla wants in an artifact. It increases shield strength and increases the ATK of all party members, and Noblesse Oblige does a decent Tenacity impression.
Both 4pc sets offer similar buffs, though Tenacity’s can be kept going indefinitely, making it better the longer a fight goes on. Blizzard Strayer trails far behind and at this point, it feels just like it’s an honorable mention.
Right now, Genshin Impact is free to download and play on various platforms including PC, iOS, Android, and PlayStation 4 and 5.

The Nintendo Switch version is still under development with a tailer video released.
