Genshin Impact – Lauma build and materials guide

Lead the Frostmoon Scions with the best Genshin Impact Lauma build and keep those dirty Fatui away from the sacred groves. A 5-Star character dealing Dendro DMG and wielding a Catalyst, Lauma specializes in triggering the Lunar-Bloom Reaction.

Lauma can convert any Bloom Reaction caused by her team into Lunar-Bloom, increasing its damage based on her Elemental Mastery. Elemental Mastery boosts her Elemental Skill DMG and reduces the cooldown of her Charged Attack as well. 

Depending on the party’s current Moonsign, Lauma provides further buffs. At Nascent Gleam, the party’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon Reactions can land critical hits, while Ascendant Gleam bolsters the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG of Lunar-Bloom.

Lauma’s Charged Attack allows her to temporarily transform into a Spirit Envoy. Consuming Stamina, she can charge forward and jump. While the Spirit Envoy Metamorphosis is cooling down, the Charged Attack is changed to a move that deals Dendro DMG in an area of effect.

Lauma’s Elemental Skill, Runo: Dawnless Rest of Karsikko, summons a Frostgrave Sanctuary. Tapping the button makes it deal Dendro DMG in an area of effect. Holding it consumes Verdant Dew and deals Dendro DMG in an area of effect that counts as Lunar-Bloom DMG. Every point of Verdant Dew consumed in this way provides one stack of Moon Song to Lauma. Whenever Frostgrave Sanctuary hits an enemy, their Dendro and Hydro RES are weakened. Verdant Dew is generated whenever a party member triggers Lunar-Bloom.

Her Elemental Burst, Runo: All Hearts Become the Beating Moon, creates stacks of Pale Hymn, which are consumed by party members dealing Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, or Lunar-Bloom DMG. Consuming Pale Hymn adds damage to these reactions based on Lauma’s Elemental Mastery. If Lauma has Moon Song while casting this ability, more Pale Hymn is generated.

Finally, Lauma unlocks unique interactions with the fauna of Nod-Krai during exploration.

Obtaining duplicates of Lauma raises her Constellation Level and unlocks additional benefits:

Best Lauma weapons – Genshin Impact

Obviously, Elemental Mastery is Lauma’s highest priority as a stat, since it will enhance all of her own damage and supporting effects. Nightweaver’s Looking Glass, her signature Catalyst, gets more Elemental Mastery into her hands alongside other useful effects. When its wearer uses an Elemental Skill to deal Dendro or Hydro DMG, their Elemental Mastery is further increased. Any Lunar-Bloom Reaction triggered by allies during this time enhances the effect, providing a buff to Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom DMG for the entire team — all of which works off-field.

Best weapons for Lauma:

• Nightweaver’s Looking Glass (5-Star)
• A Thousand Floating Dreams (5-Star)
• Sunny Morning Sleep-In (5-Star)
• Blackmarrow Lantern (4-Star)
• Etherlight Spindlelute (4-Star)
• Sacrificial Fragments (4-Star)
• Mappa Mare (4-Star)

Best Lauma artifacts – Genshin Impact

Elemental Mastery remains at the top of the agenda, but is joined by Energy Recharge as well as CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. Energy is needed for quicker Elemental Burst activations, while CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG help increase the damage output of Lunar-Bloom Reactions.

As far as Sets are concerned, you have several options: Night of the Sky’s Unveiling and Silken Moon’s Serenade are fantastic options in a party based on Nod-Krai characters, helping Lauma deal maximum damage. The classic Deepwood Memories works better when characters from a different region are involved, emphasizing Lauma’s support role.

Best Artifact Sets for Lauma:

• [Lunar-focused] Night of the Sky’s Unveiling (4) – +80 Elemental Mastery, gain the Gleaming Moon: Intent effect for 4s when Lunar Reactions are triggered while the wearer is on the field; +15%/30% CRIT Rate when the party’s Moonsign is Nascent Gleam/Ascendant Gleam; +10% Lunar Reaction DMG for the entire party for each different Gleaming Moon effect party members have.
• [Lunar-focused, low Energy] Silken Moon’s Serenade (4) – +20% Energy Recharge, gain the Gleaming Moon: Devotion effect for 8s when the wearer deals Elemental DMG (can be triggered off-field); +60/120 Elemental Mastery for all party members when the party’s Moonsign is Nascent Gleam/Ascendant Gleam; +10% Lunar Reaction DMG for the entire party for each different Gleaming Moon effect party members have.
• [Dendro-focused] Deepwood Memories (4) – +15% Dendro DMG, -30% Dendro RES for 8s on all enemies hit the wearer’s Elemental Skill or Burst (can be triggered off-field).

Best stats for Lauma:

• Flower: HP (main stat), Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge
• Plume: ATK (main stat), Elemental Mastery, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Energy Recharge

Best Lauma teams – Genshin Impact

Lauma is very effective in any team composition that can trigger the reaction types she boosts, i.e. Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and Lunar-Bloom.

• Nahida (Main DPS), Nilou (Sub DPS), Lauma (Support), Kokomi (Support)

Nahida and Lauma contribute the necessary Dendro components in this team as well as buffing everyone’s Reaction DMG. Kokomi provides off-field Hydro application on top of healing, which is always a necessity when Nilou’s special Bloom Reactions are in play — their hefty damage is not only directed against enemies, after all.

You don’t need to play this composition with Nilou, of course. Characters like Xingqiu or Yelan can easily fill her dance shoes.

• Neuvillette (Main DPS), Ineffa (Sub DPS), Lauma (Support), Furina (Support)

Joining fellow Nod-Krai character Ineffa and the traditional powerhouse duo that is Neuvillette and Furina, Lauma is an excellent choice to trigger this Hyperbloom compositions Blooms.

Teaming Lauma up with Ineffa is also the best way to make use of Nod-Krai-based Artifact Sets and mechanics like the Moonsign until more characters from the region are available. Without Ineffa, classic off-field Electro characters like Raiden Shogun are a strong addition to the team.

Lauma ascension materials – Genshin Impact

You’ll want to quickly raise Lauma’s level when you pull her, which means that you’ll need to farm her ascension materials. You’ll also require some material to upgrade her combat talents.

Here’s what you need to get Lauma to level 90:

• Nagadus Emerald Sliver x1
• Nagadus Emerald Fragment x9
• Nagadus Emerald Chunk x9
• Nagadus Emerald Gemstone x6
• Tattered Warrant x18
• Immaculate Warrant x30
• Frost-Etched Warrant x36
• Moonfall Silver x168
• Lightbearing Scale-Feather x46
• Mora x2,092,530

Vajrada Amethyst can be obtained from any Dendro-affiliated boss on the world map, such as the Radiant Moonflies needed to get Lightbearing Scale-Feathers. Warrants drop from Fatui Oprichniki roaming Nod-Krai. Moonfall Silver is a local specialty only found in Nod-Krai, but can also be obtained through the Battle Pass. The best way to earn more Mora in the game is to farm Golden Ley Line Blossoms.

Here’s what you need to upgrade all of Lauma’s talents to their maximum level:

• Tattered Warrant x18
• Immaculate Warrant x66
• Frost-Etched Warrant x93
• Teachings of Moonlight x9
• Guide to Moonlight x63
• Philosophies of Moonlight x114
• Eroded Scale-Feather x18
• Crown of Insight x3
• Mora x4,957,500

For the materials already mentioned, check above. You’ll need to visit the Lightless Capital domain in Nod-Krai to farm Books of Moonlight. Eroded Scale-Feather is a boss item only dropped by the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire, so you’ll need to head to Natlan to defeat him.

Crowns of Insight are a rare item gained from time-limited events or regional reward mechanics like the Grand Narukami Shrine in Inazuma, the Tree of Dreams in Sumeru, the Fountain of Lucine in Fontaine, or the Tablet of Tona in Natlan.
