Genshin Impact | Lauma Release Date, Best Build, & Weapon Guide for Ver. 6.0

This article assumes that Lauma scales from Elemental Mastery similar to Nahida.

Pre-release Lauma guide for Genshin Impact. Learn Lauma's best build, team, and kit for this 5-star Dendro Support Catalyst user from Nod-Krai.

Lauma Character Overview

Lauma is a 5-Star Dendro Catalyst user in Genshin Impact, primarily serving as an Off-Field Sub-DPS with supportive utility. She is the only character capable of enabling the Lunar-Bloom reaction, which replaces the standard Bloom reaction.

Lunar-Bloom generates Verdant Dew, a resource Lauma consumes to activate the Hold version of her Elemental Skill. This version of her Skill deals powerful Lunar-Bloom damage and currently stands as the sole source of it in the game. Her Elemental Burst further boosts the damage of Hyperbloom, Bloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom.

Best Build for Lauma

Lauma's build is likely to revolve around teams that trigger specific Dendro reactions. This is a preliminary build that could see changes after the new version releases. See below for recommendations:

Off-Field Bloom Support On-Field Hyperbloom Support

Weapon	Nightweaver's Looking Glass
Best Artifact	Deepwood Memories x 4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: Elemental Mastery Goblet: Elemental Mastery Circlet: Elemental Mastery
Priority Sub-Stat	Energy Recharge > Elemental Mastery
Recommended Team

Stat Goals For Off-Field Bloom Support Lauma

Elemental Mastery	Around 1,000~

Lauma's Elemental Burst is still still an important part of her contribution to a team since it provides a decent buff to Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon or Lunar-Bloom damage. Getting her Energy Recharge to an amount that lets her use her Burst comfortably every rotation is likely going to be the priority. Because her Energy cost hasn't been formally revealed yet, the recommended stat goal for Lauma's Energy Recharge cannot be calculated yet.

Since she favors Elemental Mastery for her abilities, it's safe to assume that she wants a generous amount of it.

Stat Goals For Off-Field Hyperbloom Support Lauma

Elemental Mastery	Around 1,000~

Similar to the the Bloom Support, Lauma's Elemental Burst should also be an important part of her contribution to a Hyperbloom team since it provides a decent buff to Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon or Lunar-Bloom damage. Getting her Energy Recharge to an amount that lets her use her Burst comfortably every rotation is likely going to be the priority, but because her Energy cost hasn't been formally revealed yet, the recommended stat goal for Lauma's Energy Recharge cannot be fully calculated at the moment.

Since she favors Elemental Mastery for her abilities, it's safe to assume that she wants a generous amount of it.

Lauma's Talent Priority

Best Weapon for Lauma

Since Lauma seems to be designed to scale with Elemental Mastery (EM), her weapon choices will naturally gravitate towards the weapons that'll allow her to hit her EM stat goal. See below for the recommendations:

Premium Weapons for Off-Field Dendro Support Lauma

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best	Nightweaver's Looking Glass	Get from Limited Banner - Lauma's Signature Weapon
2nd	A Thousand Floating Dreams	Get from Limited Banners - Elemental Mastery (EM) secondary stat lets Lauma reach an ideal EM stat easier. - Provides more EM buffs/ Elemental DMG% buffs to the equipping character depending on the party members' Elemental type. - Also provides teammates with a fixed amount of EM.
3rd	Sunny Morning Sleep-In	Get from Limited Banners - Elemental Mastery secondary stat can help Lauma reach her EM stat goal. - She can't trigger the first half of the passive, but can still benefit from the other buffs that give more EM.
4th	Sacrificial Fragments	Get from Banners - Provides a decent amount of Elemental Mastery due to secondary stat. - Passive Skill reset may or may not work with Lauma's Skill, but whether or not it's beneficial needs to be tested.
5th	Wandering Evenstar	Get from Limited Banners - Also provides a decent amount of Elemental Mastery due to secondary stat. - Not a lot of her teams will have teammates who care about the ATK% buff from the passive, so at most this serves as a stat-stick.

Lauma is more likely to hit the 1000 Elemental Mastery (EM) threshold with a weapon that can provide EM either through the secondary stat or its passive. The rankings may be subject to change after post-release testing.

Free To Play Friendly (F2P Weapons) for Off-Field Dendro Support Lauma

	Weapon	How to Get Rating
Best F2P	Magic Guide	Get from Banners - Provides Elemental Mastery through the secondary stat, which is more than what the other Free-to-Play options can offer. - Passive doesn't provide much impact even at R5.
2nd	Mappa Mare	Monstadt Forgeable (Craftable) Weapon - Also provides Elemental Mastery, but less than Magic Guide. - Passive also doesn't provide much impact even at R5.
3rd	Fruit of Fulfillment	Sumeru Forgeable (Craftable) Weapon - Energy Recharge secondary stat can help Lauma get her Elemental Burst up consistently. - Passive effectively gives Lauma 120 Elemental Mastery, lower than the other 2 above, but usable if you have no other choice.

For Free-to-Play options, the best choice should be the weapon that gives the most Elemental Mastery Magic Guide provides the most over the two craftable options and is relatively easy to get since its a 3-Star weapon. Use whichever you option you already have.

Lauma Best Artifacts

Based on available info from the 6.0 or Luna 1 Livestream, Lauma may be building the new Artifact set or similar to Nahida, who performs a similar function in the teams that use Lauma. See the recommendations below:

Artifact	Recommendation Details
Gilded Dreams	★★★★・ - A good alternative to the new Artifact set, since it gives Lauma a lot of Elemental Mastery by default. - Can also be a choice for when Lauma is the On-Field Dendro character who uses their Normal Attacks to trigger reactions such as Hyperbloom or Burgeon.
2-pc. Elemental Mastery 2-pc. Elemental Mastery	★★★・・ - You can use a combination of 2 sets with Elemental Mastery. - This configuration is a good placeholder until you can get a decent full set. - Still results in decent damage output regardless.
Deepwood Memories	★★★・・ - When paired with another Dendro DPS like Alhaitham, Lauma can equip this set instead to shred Dendro RES. - Good set for Hyperbloom teams where Lauma isn't the On-Field Dendro character.

Recommended Artifact Stats

	Main: Flat HP Sub: Energy Recharge / Elemental Mastery
	Main: Flat ATK Sub: Energy Recharge / Elemental Mastery
	Main: Elemental Mastery Sub: Energy Recharge
	Main: Elemental Mastery Sub: Energy Recharge
	Main: Elemental Mastery Sub: Energy Recharge

Might Use New Artifacts

Launa releases together with 2 new artifacts. It is very likely that Lauma uses those artifact.

Prioritize Her Elemental Burst Uptime

Like most supports, having a decent Energy Recharge stat to use her Elemental Burst consistently. After that, getting to a substantial amount of Elemental Mastery of around 1,000 or more should suffice for Bloom and Hyperbloom teams.

Best Team Comp for Lauma

Premium Nilou Lunar-Bloom Team

Support	DPS	Support	Support
Lauma	Nilou	Nahida	Kokomi
Details
- Lauma works well in Nilou's traditional Bloom team as the second Dendro support, allowing the trigger Lunar-Bloom which generates Verdant Dew for Lauma. - Nilou enhances regular Blooms into Bountiful Blooms, which improves their damage and AoE significantly. - Nahida provides an Elemental Mastery buff with her Burst and more Off-Field Dendro. - Kokomi is the designated healer of the team and further source of constant AoE Hydro application.

In this team, Lauma's damage is condensed at set intervals whenever she uses her Hold Skill, which she's able to use after triggering Lunar-Bloom. Currently the only actual source of direct Lunar-Bloom damage is from Lauma's Skill when held, since the Lunar-Blooms themselves are still doing the same damage as regular Bountiful Blooms, and are simply a way of generating Verdant Dew for Lauma. Regardless, this team's damage potential should still be good since she contributes her own personal DPS from her Hold Skill.

Other Team Comps For Lauma

Alhaitham Hyperbloom Team

Team		Detail
Lauma	Alhaitham	- Lauma also enhances Hyperbloom damage with her Elemental Burst, and will act as a replacement to Nahida in this setup. - Alhaitham will be the On-Field DPS who can take advantage of Lauma's buffs. - Shinobu is the main source of Electro to trigger Hyperbloom as well as the only healer.
Yelan	Shinobu

F2P Friendly Team Comp

Team		Detail
Lauma	Xingqiu	- A F2P-friendly team comp using free or easily obtainable characters. - Lauma will take an On-Field position, attacking with her Normal Attacks to apply Dendro. - Aino and Xingqiu are sources of Off-Field Hydro to generate Dendro cores. - Shinobu applies Electro to trigger Hyperbloom and acts as the primary sustain character.
Shinobu	Aino

Basics of Using Lauma (Beginner Guide)

Lauma is designed to be an Off-Field Dendro Sub-DPS that also provides supportive buffs for Bloom reactions and teams. She is currently the only character that can trigger the special Nod-Krai reaction, Lunar-bloom, which is an upgraded version of the original Bloom reaction that requires Dendro and Hydro.

Lunar-Blooms Give a Stack of Verdant Dew

Bloom reactions triggered by a party with Lauma in it are automatically converted to Lunar-bloom, which is similar to how Ineffa enables Lunar-charged. When a Lunar-bloom reaction is triggered, Lauma gains a stack of Verdant Dew, which is an important resource that is used by the Hold version of her Elemental Skill.

Holding Her Elemental Skill Is Recommended

Lauma's Skill summons a Frostgrave Sanctuary, and has a Tap and Hold version. The Tap version simply deals regular Dendro damage in an AoE, which makes it less than ideal to use compared to the Hold version. When held, her Elemental Skill consumes all of her Verdant Dew stacks to deal two waves of AoE Dendro damage, with the second wave considered to be Lunar-bloom damage. Furthermore, all attacks made by the Sanctuary reduces the an enemy's Dendro and Hydro RES for a short period of time, provided the attack hits.

To be able to use the Hold version, at least one Lunar-bloom reaction needs to be triggered beforehand. This version also converts a Verdant Dew stack (maximum of three) to a Moon Song stack, which is a different resource required by her Elemental Burst.

Elemental Burst Buffs Dendro-related Reactions

After using Elemental Burst, Lauma generates 18 stacks of Pale Hymn. Additionally, her Burst also consumes Moon Songs to create 6 stacks of Pale Hymn per stack. This amounts to a total of 36 Pale Hymns, and each Hymn increases the damage of any Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon or Lunar-Bloom reaction. When the aforementioned reactions are triggered, it consumes 1 Pale Hymn. If the damage damages multiple enemies, then the reactions consumes multiple Pale Hymn stacks.

While the damage buff isn't groundbreaking, it's still nice to have for the teams that would run Lauma. Her Elemental Burst is still an essential part of her rotations regardless.

Ineffa	About Lauma: Lauma is the Moonchant Envoy of the Frostmoon Scions. Reviews by her people indicate that she is a wise and holy figure, well-respected in the community. The Frostmoon Scions worship the moon goddess... I wonder if there is any connection between the Moon Goddess and the existence of the Moon Wheel?
