Layla is a playable Cryo character in Genshin Impact.

	Nights of Formal Focus	Elemental Skill
Description Gameplay Notes Advanced Properties Attribute Scaling Preview 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. When Shooting Star hits at least one enemy, it generates 1.33 Elemental Particles. This particle generation has a cooldown of 3 seconds. If this skill is used again while a Curtain of Slumber is still active, Night Stars will not be reset. Night Stars will also be generated by Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker as well as Elemental Skills that accept multiple inputs via the Elemental Skill button before cooldown, including Fischl's Oz re-summon, Keqing's Stellar Restoration recast, Nilou's Dance of Haftkarsvar Whirling Steps and Water Wheel, Tartaglia or Wanderer's input to end the stance, and Sayu or Yelan's input to end the held version of their rapid movement. Similar inputs that are not done via the Elemental Skill button, such as remotely detonating Keqing's stiletto or using Nilou's Sword Dance or Luminous Illusion dance steps, do not generate Night Stars. Freminet's Pressurized Floe Level 4 Shattering Pressure does generate Night Stars, even when it is activated by Normal Attack button. The Night Stars will be transformed into Shooting Stars with a blinking of all 4 stars. If already in range of the Shooting Stars' targeting, there will be a delay of 0.25 seconds since the creation of the last Night Star. Otherwise, the transformation will occur immediately when entering the targeting range. 0.5 seconds after the blinking, the Shooting Stars will be fired at the rate of 0.5 seconds per star. Therefore, the shooting wave will last 2 seconds. Since the ICD of the Shooting Stars is 3s / 7 Hits, it will apply Cryo to the same target at most once per wave. The Curtain of Slumber only starts generating Night Stars again after the last Shooting Star has been fired. Throughout the shield duration, it is possible to fire 4 waves of Shooting Stars by utilizing Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker's Night Star generation and/or multiple characters with multi-input Elemental Skills. Shooting Star DMG will snapshot Layla's stats when Shooting Stars are fired and will not be affected by changes in her stats that occur afterwards. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, Like Nascent Light: The Shield Strength of a character protected by a Curtain of Slumber increases by 6% each time a Night Star is gained, up to a maximum of 4 stacks and lasting until the Curtain of Slumber disappears. Passive Talent 2, Sweet Slumber Undisturbed: "The DMG dealt by the Shooting Stars fired by Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 1.5% of Layla's Max HP." Constellation Effects Constellation Level 1, Fortress of Fantasy: "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." Constellation Level 2, Light's Remit: "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." Constellation Level 3, Secrets of the Night: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15. Constellation Level 4, Starry Illumination: "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." Constellation Level 6, Radiant Soulfire: "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.
