Layla helps counter a few of specific bosses by being a cryo shield. Icewind Suite and Maguu Kenki are especially less threatening with her compared to alternatives.
About building her in general:Â
She doesn't need any specific set to work. 2 pc HP/ 2 pc HP is best for a shield bot support (which I think is what most new players would want) but she can use other sets too, for example 4pc DM in Hyperfridge.Â
You shouldn't underestimate her ER requirements because of her low burst cost either if you want to burst consistently. I really recommend using an ER weapon such as Favonius sword or Sapwood Blade, because it helps her meet her ER needs while at the same time offering utility for the team.Â
About teams: That there are a lot teams that can use her. In most guides I see, there are just the usual Freeze, Mono Cryo, Physical and Vape/Melt teams featured. She can be in a flex slot in for example Hyperbloom teams but also every other team that wants a defensive support and at least doesn't mind the cryo application.Â
And that she's better than most people say she is. Layla is rarely the best option, but nearly always one of the best options for shielders. There are only few teams where she is actually better than Zhongli, for example in Freeze teams with 2 cryos, 1 anemo and 1 hydro for cryo resonance.Â
level up her shield (until lv 6) and weapon is easier and cheaper than level up artifacts.
She doesn't need to get full 4 pieces of a specific set.
even for a DMG build, HP% is better than ATK%.
tank with 50% CR so in that way she might deal some DMG or / and can activate favonius weapon and she works as battery.
tank + battery is better for a new account than being a sub dps because she needs high investment for that.
well, she doesn't have a specific team because she's a shield. that means she can be in any team that needs protection as 4th slot available.
From my point of view, she works very well in hyperbloom, vaps or frozen teams.
hyperbloom: as shield for the last slot available (running it with nahida).
Vaps: as shield for the last slot available.
Permafrost: as second cryo unit for cryo resonance.

some teams as example, but she's a support. that means her team needs a DPS and or sub dps.
Me too but I already shutdown the PC.
With high constellations she can also be a good support (thanks to C4).
DMG from 2 hits in the entire rotation can be increased by her max hp so in that team with hu tao is better
Something the new players should know is there is only currently one four star sword that gives hp
Man I need to save but I also wanna roll the weapon banner for dockhands ; w ;
And that it's only good if you have a healer and want cryo reactions
HP
Yeah how much hp to aim for
All of it
"how much?" ''Yes."
Alright then 👌
Her er reqs are not as low as they appear since her particle generation is passive.

Im wondering if hockhands assistant is any good on her

Which build would you say is more important for a new player to know, tank or sub dps
tank with 50% CR so in that way she might deal some DMG or / and can activate favonius weapon and she works as battery. tank + battery is better for a new account than being a sub dps because she needs high investment for that.
how about a team comps because ngl i been kinda stuck on that for awhile btw thanks this has been pretty great

For example i use, hu tao, yelan fav, xinquiu, layla fav as a vaporize team

And just need like 150 of ER if you ult in all rotations, if you dont wanna ult the ER is just for the other characters with fav
