Other Characters That Work With Thoma
Character | Sub | Details |
---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() | - Since Thoma's Pyro on-field attack sync with the active character normal attack, it's best paired with main DPS characters that utilize Normal Attacks - Not good with Pyro characters since Thoma might end up stealing reactions from them instead |
![]() | ![]() ![]() ![]() | - Thoma can work with most characters who have on-field abilities - This doesn't apply only to Burgeon, but you do have the risk that Thoma might steal reactions. This is not ideal since Thoma has a lower damage multiplier |
![]() | ![]() ![]() | - Since you want Thoma for reactions, he works really well with Anemo characters who also run EM or those that deal Elemental shred |

Notes About Team Comps For Thoma

Thoma Guide - How To Use Thoma?
Recommended Rotation For Thoma
Recommended Support Rotation | |
---|---|
1 | Use Elemental Skill to gather energy |
2 | Switch to another character until Thoma's Burst is active |
3 | Switch to Thoma and use his Elemental Burst then his Elemental Skill |
4 | Use Main DPS then spam Normal Attack. During this point, you will do periodic Pyro application |
5 | Once Burst is down, repeat step 1 |
Uses Of Thoma's Elemental Skill
Provides Shield
When Thoma uses his Elemental Skill, it creates an on-field Pyro shield. This shield scales off his HP so the higher the HP, the tougher the shield is.
Deals Pyro Damage
Thoma will kick upwards during his Elemental Skill. This kick is powered by Pyro, applying the element to those it hits.
Uses Of Thoma's Elemental Burst
Provides Shield That Stacks With Thoma's Elemental Skill
Just like his Elemental Skill, Thoma's Elemental Burst creates an on-field shield. This actually stacks on top of Thoma's Skill's shield so you can have two shields at once.
Provide Additional Pyro DMG Through Fiery Collapse
While the Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill shield is active, every normal attack and charge attack you do will release a wave of Pyro dealing damage to enemies. This remains even after switching making it great for dealing Pyro-related reactions.

Should You Get Or Wish For Thoma?
Pull If You Need A Pyro Applicator & Shielder

Thoma is a reliable shielder with both of his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst providing on-field shields. However, he doesn't have good damage multipliers and his Pyro application is too long. He did find a new niche in Burgeon teams, making him a must have for those comps!
Strengths & Weakness Of Thoma
Strengths |
---|
- Deals periodic Pyro Attacks when both shields are active even when off-field - Best Pyro character for Burdgeon (Due to slower application of Pyro, he hits the cores instead of the Dendro application) |
Weakness |
- High energy cost & CD for Elemental Burst ↳ Can be aided with Favonius Lance - Shield duration is short. - Tend to steal reactions from Main DPS |
Best Constellation For Thoma
Constellation 4 For Easier Energy
Thoma, having 80 Energy Cost for his Elemental Burst, suffers from needing Energy Recharge. This problem will be eased by unlocking Constellation 4 which will give him extra energy. The first two constellation will also make his shields more consistent.
