Layla is aGenshin Impactunit that relies on HP for most of her abilities. Sadly, this limits her choice since there’s no F2P option for HP-granting Sword. But, players who own the following Swords can rejoice as they have one of the best weapons for Layla inGenshin Impact.
7Favonius Sword
It may be quite surprising to see Favonius Sword on the list since Layla’s Burst only requires 40 Energy to use, but Favonius has always been an option if Travelers are seeking extra Energy production. Favonius Sword can turn Layla into aGenshin ImpactBatteryas long as she has sufficient Critical Rate stat.
6Haran Geppaku Futsu

Haran Geppaku Futsu is decent for Sub-DPS Layla since it grants Critical Rate. As for the passive, Layla won’t benefit much from it as it’s meant to be used by characters that rely on Normal Attacks.
5Mistsplitter Reforged
Since Sub-DPS Layla performs best in a freeze team, players can fullyfocus on stacking Critical Damage over Critical Rate. For this, Mistsplitter Reforged is an excellent stat stick. Layla won’t benefit much from the Sword’s high base ATK, but she can still activate the weapon’s passive here and there.
4Sacrificial Sword

Sacrificial Sword may seem unnecessary since Layla’s Skill has a 12s duration and 12s cooldown, but Sacrificial is actually decent if Layla’s shield keeps breaking. WithGenshin ImpactSacrificial weapon’s passive, Layla can recast her shield if things ever go bad and she loses her protection early.
3Freedom-Sworn
Freedom-Sworn is a Sword that can grant ATK and Normal, Charged, and Plunging DMG buff to the entire team. To get this effect, Layla simply has to trigger two Elemental Reactions. Considering Layla’s Skill and Burst can both provide stable Cryo DMG, triggering Elemental Reactions would not be too hard for her.
2Primordial Jade Cutter
Primordial Jade Cutter grants HP via its passive, a stat that Layla needs to strengthen her shield. If players wish to play the sleepy scholar as a Sub-DPS, Jade Cutter is also excellent for its Critical Rate sub-stat.

One thing people may want to keep in mind is thatif Layla is playing in a freeze team, the combination of 4pc Blizzard Strayer and Primordial Jade Cutter may result in an overflow of Critical Rate.
1Key of Khaj-Nisut
Key of Khaj-Nisut is designed asthe best weapon for Nilou inGenshin Impact, but it’s great for a few other characters as well. For example, Kuki Shinobu and Layla can easily benefit from the weapon’s passive. Both Kuki and Layla periodically deal damage via their Elemental Skill, allowing the team to enjoy Elemental Mastery buff once the passive reaches maximum stack.
For Layla, Key of Khaj-Nisut is excellent to maximize her shield, grant her some supportive materials, and also allows her to deal decent damage all at the same time.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
