Best	Favonius Lance	Energy Recharge 30.6% Crits will give extra energy
2nd	Prototype Starglitter	Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - Energy Recharge will allow higher uptime for Burst - Can be used simply as a stat stick

Good With Energy Recharge Or HP Weapon

Thoma Best Team Comp

Premium Team For Thoma

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS / Enabler	Enabler
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	Childe Ayaka Itto	- 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 Traveler Xingqiu Chongyun	- 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	Sucrose Venti	- 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 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!

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.
