What sets Lauma apart from other Dendro supports like Nahida is her unique ability to enhance reaction damage through her Pale Hymn mechanic and Moonsign passives. She's not just a replacement for existing Dendro supports – she brings an entirely new dimension to team building.

Lauma's Abilities and Talents Overview

Normal Attack: Peregrination of Linnunrata

Lauma performs up to 3 Dendro attacks. Her Charged Attack allows her to transform into a forest envoy, charging forward while consuming stamina. She can even perform up to two consecutive jumps in this state, making her highly mobile.

Elemental Skill: Runo: Dawnless Rest of Karsikko

This skill summons a Frostgrove Sanctuary that deals sustained Dendro DMG to opponents and decreases their Dendro and Hydro RES by up to 34% at talent level 13. The skill has different effects depending on whether you tap or hold:

  • Tap: Deals AoE Dendro DMG

  • Hold: Consumes all Verdant Dew to deal both regular Dendro DMG and Lunar-Bloom DMG, while granting Moon Song stacks

Elemental Burst: Runo: All Hearts Become the Beating Moon

Lauma's burst grants 18 stacks of Pale Hymn, which are consumed when nearby party members trigger Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, or Lunar-Bloom reactions. When consumed, these stacks increase reaction damage based on Lauma's Elemental Mastery.

If Lauma has Moon Song stacks when using her burst (or gains them within 15s), she'll consume them to gain 6 Pale Hymn stacks for each Moon Song consumed.

Passive Talents

Lauma's passives are where her kit truly shines:

  • Light for the Frosty Night: After using her Elemental Skill, Lauma grants different buffs based on the party's Moonsign. With Nascent Gleam, Bloom reactions can CRIT (15% CRIT Rate, 100% CRIT DMG). With Ascendant Gleam, Lunar-Bloom damage gets +10% CRIT Rate and +20% CRIT DMG.

  • Runo of the Night: When Lauma's Elemental Skill or Burst hits opponents, she gains Verdant Dew stacks (up to 3).

Best Builds for Lauma

  1. Nightweaver's Looking Glass (5★): This is Lauma's signature weapon and her best-in-slot option, maximizing her Lunar-Bloom and team Bloom damage.

  2. Etherlight Spindlelute (4★): Great F2P option from the Clink Clank Clash event in Version Luna I.

  3. A Thousand Floating Dreams (5★): Excellent alternative that provides significant EM.

  4. Blackmarrow Lantern (4★): Craftable option that works well for damage-focused builds.

Best Artifacts

Support Build: Deepwood Memories (4pc)

  • Sands: Elemental Mastery

  • Goblet: Elemental Mastery

  • Circlet: Elemental Mastery or CRIT Rate/DMG

  • Substats: Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate/DMG

The 4-piece Deepwood Memories set is essential for Lauma as it provides a 30% Dendro RES shred, which stacks with her own RES reduction from her skill. This makes her an exceptional support for any Dendro-reaction focused team.

Specialized Lunar-Bloom Build

For those focusing on Lunar-Bloom reactions, consider either:

  • Silken Moon's Serenade (4pc)

  • Night of the Sky's Unveiling (4pc)

Stat Priorities

  • Aim for 1000+ Elemental Mastery

  • 160-200% Energy Recharge

  • 40-50% CRIT Rate

  • 100%+ CRIT DMG

Best Teams for Lauma

Hyperbloom Team

  • Lauma (Dendro Support)

  • Neuvillette (Hydro DPS)

  • Raiden Shogun (Electro Sub-DPS)

  • Ineffa (Lunar-Charged Support)

In this team, Lauma provides constant Dendro application and RES shred, while Neuvillette applies Hydro. Raiden triggers Hyperbloom reactions, which are significantly amplified by Lauma's buffs. Ineffa enhances the team further with Lunar-Charged reactions.

Nilou Bloom Team

  • Lauma (Dendro Support)

  • Nilou (Bloom Enabler)

  • Nahida (Dendro Sub-DPS)

  • Xingqiu/Kokomi (Hydro Support)

This team showcases how Lauma can work alongside Nilou to create one of the most powerful Bloom teams in Genshin Impact. The c0 Lauma hyperbloom potential in this team is incredible, as her Moonsign: Nascent Gleam allows Bloom reactions to CRIT, dramatically increasing damage output.

Constellations Worth Getting

While Lauma is already excellent at C0, her constellations offer significant improvements:

  • C1: Provides healing based on her EM when Lunar-Bloom reactions trigger, adding survivability to reaction teams.

  • C2: ★★★ Must-have constellation that significantly boosts reaction damage based on Lauma's Elemental Mastery, increasing Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon DMG by 500% of her EM.

  • C4: Grants 4 Energy when her Frostgrove Sanctuary hits opponents, improving energy regeneration.

  • C6: Adds additional Dendro DMG instances from her Frostgrove Sanctuary that count as Lunar-Bloom DMG, dramatically increasing her damage potential.

Is Lauma Worth Pulling?

Absolutely. Lauma banner is one of the most valuable investments for players who enjoy reaction-based teams. Her ability to enhance Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reactions is unparalleled, and she offers unique buffs that no other character can provide.

Even at c0, Lauma hyperbloom teams can clear the most challenging content in Genshin Impact. Her kit is particularly well-designed for the current meta, where elemental reactions continue to dominate.

Lauma vs. Nahida: Which is Better?

While Nahida has been the premier Dendro support since her release, Lauma offers different strengths that may make her more valuable in certain team compositions:

  1. Lauma provides both Dendro AND Hydro RES shred, making her exceptional in Bloom teams

  2. Her ability to make Bloom reactions CRIT through her Moonsign passive is unique

  3. Lauma specializes in enhancing Lunar-Bloom damage, opening up new team possibilities

Instead of asking which is better, consider that they excel in different scenarios and can even work together in some compositions.
