Premium Team For Thoma

|---|---|---|---|
| Ayato | Nahida | Kazuha | Thoma |
| Details | |||
| - A burgeon team comp for Thoma - Nahida and Ayato will provide continuous Dendro Cores - Thoma's slow Pyro application will insure you deal Burgeon instead of burning - Kazuha will be able to increase the team's damage and deal shred to enemies | |||
Other Characters That Work With Thoma
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Ayato | ChildeAyakaItto | - 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 |
| Nahida | Dendro TravelerXingqiuChongyun | - 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 |
| Kazuha | SucroseVenti | - 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 has a very limited pool of characters he can work with due to his kit working best with those that deal Normal & Charged Attacks. There's also the concern that due to his Pyro application being relatively slow, he might end up stealing reactions, lowering the team's DPS.

Thoma Skill 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 Pull for Thoma's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Aim for C4 if You're Able To
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C4 > C6 > C2 |
C4 Is Ideal for Thoma's Best Use-Cases
Thoma is very reliant on his Burst to sustain his "Blazing Barrier" and for Pyro application, and C4 refunds a decent amount of Energy that results in less Energy Recharge requirements for consistent Burst uptime. This constellation lets you invest into other stats (such as HP for better shields) instead of Energy Recharge, and it should yield good results in the teams that would benefit from having Thoma's Burst always up. Anything beyond C4 is a good bonus to have, with the buff from C6 being good for Normal, Charged and Plunge on-fielders respectively.
Note that constellation levels will not be strictly required if you are content with how he functions at C0. If you want to improve Thoma's performance in his given role, however, then going to C4 is highly recommended.
