If you’re playing Genshin Impact, you probably enjoy the exciting new characters added with each update. Each new character introduces fresh mechanics, especially when they come from a new region, often bringing unique abilities and features.
This applies to Lauma, a five-star Dendro character from Nod-Krai. She delivers significant damage with her kit and is also one of the best support units for Bloom and Hyperbloom teams, helping to bring these reactions back into the game’s current meta.
### Lauma Overview, Kit, and Talent Priorities
Lauma is highly ranked in exploration and Spiral Abyss, earning S+ tiers, and she has an S tier in Imaginarium Theater activities. Her kit revolves heavily around the Lunar-Bloom reaction, which is common in Nod-Krai characters. When she is on the team, all Bloom reactions are converted into Lunar-Bloom, providing Verdant Dew to the team in addition to the usual effects. Damage from Lunar-Bloom can critically hit, with crit chances based on the trigger character’s base Crit Rate. Keep in mind, the Dendro Cores created by Lunar-Bloom still deal regular Bloom damage, and Lauma’s own damage from Lunar-Bloom mainly comes from her Skill.
### Lauma’s Kit, Explained
Lauma has two versions of her Elemental Skill, both creating a field around the active character that deals Dendro damage, with holding the Skill adding extra Lunar-Bloom damage if Verdant Dew is available. Using Verdant Dew during this hold consumes it and grants one Moon Song, which is used during her Elemental Burst. Her Skill also lowers enemies’ Hydro and Dendro resistances.
Her Burst isn’t a massive damage dealer but is vital because it stacks Pale Hymn, gaining 18 stacks initially and six more for each Moon Song used. These stacks boost reactions like Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom. They are consumed whenever these reactions hit enemies, and multiple enemies can consume multiple stacks simultaneously. Lauma’s Charged Attack can be held to switch her into a deer state, increasing mobility at the expense of stamina, signaled by the shining antlers on her head.
With 800 Elemental Mastery (EM), Lauma gets a 32% bonus to Skill DMG and a 14% boost to Lunar-Bloom DMG. Reaching 1000 EM reduces her special Charged Attack’s cooldown by 20%. If she has only one Moonsign character on her team, her Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions have a 15% chance to crit, and if they do, they inflict 100% Crit DMG. Having two or more Moonsign characters increases her Lunar-Bloom Crit Rate and DMG by 10% and 20%, respectively.
### Constellation Upgrades
Lauma’s constellations provide significant upgrades:
1. Post-Skill and Burst, her team heals based on her EM, and her stamina cost for her Charged Attack decreases by 40%.
2. Pale Hymn stacks boost reaction damage based on her EM, and her team’s Lunar-Bloom damage increases by 40% in the second Moonsign stage.
3. Her Elemental Burst level increases by three.
4. She gains 4 Energy every five seconds when her field hits opponents.
5. Her Elemental Skill level increases by three.
6. Her field gains an extra Lunar-Bloom damage instance and adds two Pale Hymn stacks. When she has stacks, her basic attacks convert to Lunar-Bloom damage, consuming stacks and scaling with her EM. Her team’s Lunar-Bloom damage gets a 25% bonus in the second moon phase.
### Talent Priority
Based on her kit, focus primarily on her Elemental Skill and Burst, as her basic attacks are less crucial unless she reaches maximum constellations. Improving her Skill grants resistances shred for Dendro and Hydro, boosting her overall damage output. Upgrading her Burst enhances her stacking potential for Pale Hymn, which in turn amplifies damage across Bloom reactions.
### Best Weapons
Because she originates from a different region, Lauma has limited weapon options. Her signature weapon is Nightweaver’s Looking Glass, which provides up to 120 Elemental Mastery when Lauma triggers Lunar-Bloom through her Skill or Burst. Leveling this weapon maximizes her EM and boosts team damage for Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom reactions.
Other recommended weapons include:
– A Thousand Floating Dreams, which offers EM and additional elemental bonuses based on team composition.
– Blackmarrow Lantern, a craftable four-star option increasing Bloom and Lunar-Bloom damage, especially effective with multiple Moonsign characters.
– Etherlight Spindlelute, a four-star event weapon that boosts Energy Recharge and EM after skill use.
### Best Artifacts
The Silken Moon’s Serenade set suits Lauma best, granting her increased Energy Recharge (20%) and up to 120 EM, plus a 10% boost to Lunar Reactions. Alternative sets like Deepwood Memories can increase Dendro damage and RES shred, supporting her role as a Dendro damage dealer. Gilded Dreams helps if you lack other options, providing EM for every different element on the team.
### Artifact Stat Priorities
Focus on Elemental Mastery for Sands, Goblet, and Circlet pieces. For sub-stats, prioritize Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery, then Crit Rate and Crit DMG as secondary options.
### Team Composition
Lauma performs best in Bloom teams with characters like Nilou, Nahida, and Kokomi or Baizhu, where she can maximize her reaction damage. For F2P teams, pairing her with Xingqiu, Yaoyao, and other Hydro or Dendro characters works well. Lauma is also viable in Hyperbloom and Burgeon setups, with the former being more effective overall.
A typical rotation starts with Lauma’s Skill, then switching to Nilou to use her Skill and Burst. Follow up with Nahida and other team members to set up reactions, then revert to Lauma for her hold Skill and Burst. This sequence maximizes both reaction synergy and damage output.
