Best Genshin Impact Thoma build for Support
Best weapon: Favonius Lance
Alternatives:Engulfing Lightning, “The Catch”
Thoma’s best Polearm is the easy-to-getFavonius Lance, which boosts Energy Recharge and makes his Talents readily available. A much more expensive way to increase Energy Recharge isEngulfing Lightning, which is essentially a 5-star version of the Favonius Lance. Finally, the fishing-themed"The Catch"increases Thoma’s Elemental Burst DMG, which will prove helpful since Thoma’s Burst should be one of your priorities.
Best artifacts: Emblem of Severed Fate
Alternatives:Tenacity of the Millelith
Talent priority: Crimson Ooyori (Elemental Burst) or Blazing Blessing (Elemental Skill)
Similar toZhongli, Thoma’s talent priority really depends on what you need most for your team. If you’re looking to add more Pyro DMG to your team, leveling Thoma’sElemental Burstfirst will help increase the damage he does. On the other hand, if your other team members are taking damage frequently (this especially applies if you don’t have a healer likeBarbaraorKokomion your team), you might want to prioritize Thoma’sElemental Skill, which provides a shield for your party while also dealing some Pyro DMG. Whatever you choose, Thoma’sNormal Attackshould trail behind — as a support and sub-DPS, his Normal Attacks aren’t built for frequent use. Here’s everything Thoma has to offer:
Party composition
5* alternative: Hu Tao instead of Yanfei
Thoma’s Pyro kit gives him plenty of potential for the Vaporize reaction, which occurs when Hydro mixes with Pyro. To take advantage of this, try pairing Thoma withXingqiu, who can also provide useful buffs. Additionally, pairing Thoma with another Pyro character likeYanfei(or a 5-star likeHu Tao) can be extremely helpful, as you’ll get the Pyro Elemental Resonance buff, which boosts your team’s overall ATK and makes your team more resistant to Cryo. Finally, try finishing off your team with a crowd control-oriented character likeSucrose, who will allow your team to apply these Elemental Reactions to massive groups of enemies.
