Lauma has finally arrived in Genshin Impact, and she’s already sparking conversations thanks to her unique mechanics and the way she completely shifts Bloom-based team play.
Inspired by the Lithuanian goddess Laumė, she brings a mix of utility, damage boosts, and new mechanics tied to the Nod-Krai Moonsign system. Aside from Lauma, here are the info regarding the previous Genshin Impact Guide such as Ineffa!
Whether you’re a dedicated Dendro main or just curious about her role in Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Nilou teams, this guide will break down how Lauma works and help you decide if she’s worth pulling.
Lauma’s Core Mechanic – The Nod-Krai Moonsign
Lauma introduces a new resource called Moonsign, which interacts with Bloom-related reactions:
- At Moonsign Level 1: Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions gain the ability to critically hit with a 15% Crit Rate and 100% Crit Damage. This effect stacks with Nahida’s C2 for up to 35% Crit Rate.
- At Moonsign Level 2: Instead of Bloom-related crits, Lunar-Bloom damage (exclusive to Lauma’s hold skill) gains 10% Crit Rate and 20% Crit Damage.
This creates a dilemma when team-building—running Lauma with other Nod-Krai characters shifts the focus away from Bloom crits and instead buffs Lunar-Bloom. Teams will need to be carefully crafted depending on which effect you want to prioritize.
Lauma’s Talents and Abilities
Normal and Charged Attacks
- Normal Attacks: A basic 3-hit combo that applies Dendro but contributes minimal damage.
- Charged Attack (Spirit Envoy Form): Transforms Lauma into a centaur-like form for 10 seconds. She gains mobility, a double jump, and can cover distance, but this form is more exploration-friendly than combat-relevant.
Elemental Skill – Summoning the Spirit Deer
- Tap Skill: Summons a spirit deer that deals AoE Dendro damage every 2 seconds. It also reduces Hydro and Dendro resistance of enemies by up to 25%, even when Lauma is off-field. This resistance shred is one of her strongest assets.
- Hold Skill: Consumes Verdant Dew stacks (generated by Bloom → Lunar Bloom conversions) to unleash massive single-instance damage scaling with Elemental Mastery. Each Verdant Dew consumed adds a multiplier, making this her hardest-hitting attack.
Elemental Burst – Pale Hymn Support
- Cost: 60 Energy.
- Instead of dealing direct damage, her burst generates Pale Hymn stacks that empower Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom reactions.
- Each stack increases reaction damage based on Lauma’s Elemental Mastery, functioning similarly to Shenhe’s Quills but focused on reactions.
- With optimal rotations, she can generate up to 36 Pale Hymn stacks, boosting entire team DPS for 15 seconds.
Best Builds for Lauma
Weapons
- Signature Catalyst Nightweaver’s Looking Glass (5-star) – Best-in-slot, significantly increases her overall performance.
- Etherlight Spindlelute (F2P event weapon) – Provides Energy Recharge and boosts Elemental Mastery after skill use, a strong free-to-play option.
- Blackmarrow Lantern (craftable) – Increases Lunar Bloom damage when Moonsign is at Level 2, making it excellent in Nod-Krai duo teams.
- Sacrificial Fragments – Reliable alternative for F2P players, offering EM and extra skill uptime.
Artifacts
- Silken Moon’s Serenade (new set): 2-piece: +20% Energy Recharge. 4-piece: Boosts Elemental Mastery depending on Moonsign level (60 EM at Lv.1, 120 EM at Lv.2). Ideal for balancing ER needs and maximizing EM.
- Deepwood Memories: Best if no other character in the team is running it, due to its universal Dendro resistance shred.
- Gilded Dreams: Still solid for raw EM stacking in Bloom teams.
Recommended Main Stats:
- Sands: EM or ER (depending on needs).
- Goblet: EM or Dendro DMG%.
- Circlet: EM or Crit (if focusing on Bloom crits).
Best Team Synergies to Build Around Lamua
Hyperbloom Teams
Lauma supercharges Hyperbloom, raising average reaction damage by 30–50%. Even free-to-play lineups with Fischl, Xingqiu, and Sucrose see massive gains. She fits seamlessly into existing Hyperbloom comps, replacing any Dendro unit for a direct upgrade.
Nilou Bloom Teams
Perhaps her biggest impact is in Nilou Bloom teams, where she adds survivability and a staggering damage boost. With Nilou, Nahida, Lauma, and Kokomi/Yelan, Bloom damage now scales higher and becomes viable against both hordes and single-target bosses. Players report ~40% damage improvement on average.
Other Comps
- Burgeon: Gains a small but noticeable boost, though limited by current Pyro roster options.
- Burnvape with Mualani or Yelan: Lauma’s Hydro resistance shred helps amplify Hydro DPS.
- Hybrid Nod-Krai setups (e.g., Lauma + Ineffa + Neuvillete/Furina): Lunar Bloom becomes the focus, offering big personal damage and more EM support, though at the cost of Bloom crits.
Should You Pull Lauma?
Lauma isn’t just another Dendro support—she’s a game-changer for reaction teams. At C0, she already offers:
- Reliable resistance shred (Hydro + Dendro).
- Major boosts to Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Nilou teams.
- Personal damage through Verdant Dew Hold Skill.
- Flexibility with both F2P and premium weapons.
If you enjoy Bloom-based playstyles or run Nilou/Hyperbloom often, Lauma is an easy recommendation. She’s not locked behind constellations to feel strong, and her free-to-play build paths are excellent. Even outside of Bloom, her utility makes her a valuable pick.
Lauma takes Bloom-centric gameplay to a new level, turning reactions into reliable sources of critical damage and making previously niche teams competitive again.
Whether you plan to use her in Hyperbloom, Nilou Bloom, or experimental Nod-Krai comps, her kit is versatile enough to fit nearly anywhere. For players invested in Dendro or reaction-focused teams, Lauma is absolutely worth pulling.
