How come this comment is 9 hours ago when the video is uploaded 10 mins ago lmao

diona is benched

@@chrisfelonall1177 the video was probably “unlisted” but not yet posted as a public video.

Rosaria: Yoink it's my highlight now

Yeah, not sure why hoyo is allergic to Cryo catalyst users. Maybe one day we will get one.

@@kylesmith987 They don't want to buff Xiangling anymore xD on-field cryo catalyst + Xiangling = OP

Apparently her E skill functions similarly to catalyst users (NPCs will clap for her instead of quiver in fear) so it could be she was meant to be a catalyst but we'll never know

@@s0shite sucrose’s animations make them quiver tho

@@fishwithbutter welp ok then I have no idea haha

But what if you turned it off already

What if they’d done the mission XD

@@Simptuber go to friend's world and ask them to shoot u

@@Simptuber you can use it on coop mode

Ask your friend to operate it 😆. Its still working though

.... did you watch the video? When was she great?

@@melaniabladeofmiquella 10:06

@@melaniabladeofmiquella did you? The video practically said she’s second best at shielding after zhongli lmao.

I'm pretty sure he made a mistake when comparing Dionas shield to hers. Dionas shield is actually pretty similar in strength, since the shields DMG absorbtion is increased by 75% if you use the hold version of the skill. At talent level 8 with Diona you get: shield hp = 20.16% max hp + 2273 flat ((11.52% max hp + 1299 flat) * 1.75 ) At talent level 8 with Layla you get: shield hp = 17.28% max hp + 1950 flat Of course Layla still has more base hp than Diona, so it should still be slightly more bulky but not that much. Regarding the uptime, Dionas shield is pretty decent too with 12 second uptime and only 3 seconds downtime when using the hold version of the skill.

She would have been amazing as a catalyst. Spamming prototype amber passives would be cool

ITS gonna be broken if Layla is catalyst ._.

@@ikomangyoga6401 Good.

@@ikomangyoga6401 mega good

Then she would be the first cryo catalyst in the game

yeah it would but in the cases she would be used like freeze teams, noone needs that much shield, the whole point of freeze. and in other teams, just go for zhongli if u have him since she dont bring anything else on the table or go for other defensive utility such as diona with 200 em at c6 if ur team needs it, which...with dendro is now so good.

@@lostblueboy like iwintolose said it CAN be useful for a character who needs resistance to interruption in order to build stacks like eula

@@lostblueboy to be honest Im getting her just because she fills in Zhongli’s role as shielder while also applying Cryo resonance for a freeze team of mine. Diona isn’t cutting it for me so hopefully I find more success with Layla. Plus if i remember correctly Zhongli’s E applies shatter (is that what it’s called?), so often times it’ll randomly break frozen enemies when I don’t want him to. It’s not optimal, but it’s a start.

@@iexistiguess1920 .........okay sure u can get her for whatever reason u want, i am not trying to control ur account here. butttt, cryo resonance can be achieved many ways, rosaria is one way, diona is other, and kaeya too, and lets not even talk about the 5 stars. However.....please explain why diona isnt cutting it anymore and why u think layla would change that, alsooooo with freeze, u cant say laylas somewhat superior shield makes her better since well..........its a fucking freeze team, u shouldnt even have a shielder there but still, diona is moreeeeeeeee than enough for a freeze team. And also zhonglis one shatter at skill cast is not a reason to change the entire team, esp since he provides a CC of his own, petrification. And finally, unless you have some weird team, most freeze teams already have cryo resonance since one cryo and one hydro is a must and third slot is almost always another cryo damage dealer like rosaria aor ayaka or ganyu or whatever. so............what team do u have that needs the fourth slot to fulfill cryo resonance. only one i can think of is either double hydro in which case.........well not optimal and fridge teams in which case sure but thats a niche team and in that case barbara or kokomi is enough for defensive utility, u dont need a shielder.

@@lostblueboy why do you sound like someone's trash talking your daughter?

she can be a diona replacement on certain scenarios but yeah.. for some1 who doesnt have zhongli.. having layla is soo good

im so tired of them doing 4* like this

Me, who uses Candace in double hydro Hyperbloom: sad true

only losers let their characters gather dust

@@junyaiwase how about use some effort to use them instead of letting the meta slaves dictate what you use.

way better than diona

After two mediocrities(dori, Candace) we get a decent 4* and a niche supp, afterwards. This is going well😂

@@Carbuncle0168 Diona is way way better lol

@@Carbuncle0168 no, she's not lmaooo they're pretty neck and neck and will depend on how and where you're going to use them

@@nothing3887 Only if C6 and if you need the EM, otherwise Layla boosts dmg way further and has a better shield with better uptime without needing Sacrificial weapon. Thank goodness, I hated that cat.

Well quick swap teams want everyone outputting high damage. Which quick swap team would she be in and who would she replace and would it be better?

Thoma is only used for Burgeon teams, so yeah

I mean she gave away her fungi buddy so that wouldn’t have made sense

@@adamsun6168 Thoma is usefull on a role which was never intended for him lol He is good when his literal kit is ignored and only used as burgeon trigger bot

You're better off using zhongli and rosaria if you need shielding and battery, plus rosaria can give you a boost in crit rate and she can generate more particles

@@OSauceda15 not everyone have zhongli pal....

@@iwaron2160 sucks to not choose to pull him if you have eula :[

@@OSauceda15 hey everyone has their own priority. It's a possibility that he prioritize a character that he likes than the the character he needs. And don't forget 50/50 exist pal. It's possible that he pulled on zhongli banner and then lost his 50/50.

@@OSauceda15 maybe the guy just want to play an all waifu comp you know ,something like eula,layla,kuki/sara and raiden or something 😏

You could do a freeze team with Ayato, Layla, Rosaria, and Xingqui/Anemo unit. If you don't have Rosaria you can use Kaeya instead.

Lol fun? Maybe in a different game. You need to spend weeks farming for a single character. If you have Diona C6 she's way more valuable. Zhongli is a better big shield character too. If you like this character then sure, but her main selling point over Diona/Zhongli was her off field damage... before they nerfed it into obscurity.

@@AuthorityCat meta slaves opinion. discarded

@@Kaimax61 tfw all you reply in every comment is dissing people for enjoying meta, even people who just want fun useable characters and not just meta and yeah authoritycat is right, the farming to level up characters makes it quite hard to enjoy mix & matching, specially worse when the new character is so weak you basically have to force new teams around it to maybe make it work

@@Kaimax61 my brother in christ you are in a meta focused channel

@@Kaimax61 guess u built all char.. And farm nakapalta lotus.. (Idk wut it called..but whatever lol).. Added by farming leyline... And use different char everyday.. In the end ..

This didnt age well

She is getting rerun?

Her rerun is 3.4

@@KonoKolonalda not soon. But y'know, f2p people save for single character in several months

snipe her

@@sasosasa8594 that's not confirmed yet. Just a rumour from leakers, along with Eula, Ayaka, and other rumoured characters

Surely after his release

u what

Just use her in freeze team

@@kidsworldrose4847 Lets be honest here, with the release of dendro, the shield really isn't as valuable as it was. You can pretty much delete anything especially if you have nahida. They told us to use Xinyan in a pyro team. Well that lasted about 2 weeks and she became unusable. The one thing she has going for her is her cryo application. But id use so many other units before her in a freeze comp. Only got 4 spots to fill and she doesn't make me take someone out to put her in. Therefore, i am hoping her potential is reached as newer characters are released else, she will be unusable for me.

Honestly, I wish she did exactly zero dmg but had much higher cryo application.

i'm hopium in her cons to make her..."usable" but damn getting new 4 star full cons is harder unless you whale lol so i might use her in 1 year after i get all her cons hopefully

Nope. Layla can use Tenacity in contrast to Diona, you can even stack it with Noblesse. Her shield is stronger. No idea what you don't understand thinking she is worse than Diona. Both are good, kinda similar, but can be better pick in different situations. Actually, I think Layla can be better pick more often.

Personally I find Diona's shield too weak so I have high hopes for Layla, except she is on an unwanted banner so I guess that's for next year.

That's for old players like us. New players would definitely love having her. If I started with a lvl1 Diona and Layla, ngl I'd grow Layla over Diona. She's also a powercreep for f2p shielders considering our good old Noelle would lose some of her already limited support spots.

@@user-vr8qd4hk6y ahem.....diona heals, is a battery with 4 cryo particles and best cryo battery with sac bow, heals really good in case you need it. andddddddd has 200 em at c6 so............yeah, diona is better. the theorycrafters put it best, layla is in middle rosaria and diona but not better than either of them. if u want cryo app and damage, go rosaria, need defensive utility, go diona.
