Best Weapons & Artifacts for Layla

But if you are saving your Primogems for characters, these are some alternatives for Layla's Weapons.
Favonius Sword
- Despite the 4-star sword, Favonius Sword doesn't have HP stats, but the Energy Recharge and Particles for the team are excellent for Layla as support.
Harbinger of Dawn
- If you already have the Favonius in another character, then you can use the 3-star weapon, Harbinger of Dawn which will increase her DMG output.
Best Artifacts
In the case of Artifact Build, the Tenacity of the Millelith offers everything that Layla needs, increasing her HP, the shield strength and buffing the ATK of all Party Members.
These are the Artifact's Stats Recommended:
Sands: HP - Goblet: Cryo DMG - Circlet: Elemental Mastery or HP
Blizzard Strayer & Noblesse Oblige
These artifact sets are viable alternatives to increase the team's damage output by having Layla as a Support.
Noblesse Oblige is generally good, and Blizzard Strayer can be used in Permafrost teams with a Cryo DPS like Ayaka or Ganyu.
