Thoma is a four-star pyro polearm user who can burn through his opponents' defenses and use his skill and burst to protect his squad. Although he is very situational, he provides excellent stagger resistance and now has the second best shield at full stacks. Compared to other characters, he requires less investment and resin, making him a rather cost-effective construction.Favonius Lance is Thoma's greatest weapon, while The Instructor is his finest collection of artifacts. You should focus on increasing his energy recharge needs first, since he has very high energy recharge requirements. In addition, if he is using Favonius Lance, he needs some crit rate and a lot of HP in a shield support role..Thoma's elemental skill should be leveled up first, followed by his elemental burst. Both are important, so it's better to level them up as soon as you can. Only level them up after his skill and burst if you truly want to, since his regular attacks are insignificant and cause very little damage.Reaching level 90 for Thoma is an excellent idea, particularly if you're utilizing him in a burgeon (pyro and dendro response) squad.Next characters to appear: See the next Genshin Impact banner for additional information.

How to Utilize

ThomaThoma's two greatest weapons in battle are his shield and his capacity to add pyro to allied strikes without negating their elemental damage.Thoma's shield has a high base strength, but you may increase its power by using his elemental burst. When he lost control, An additional Blazing Barrier shield is summoned each time Fiery Collapse is activated. The damage absorption of the new shield stacks with that of the old shield, enhancing its strength.

When you successfully execute this maneuver six or seven times during Thoma's burst, his Blazing Barrier shield gains more strength than Diona of Genshin Impact.Therefore, in order to maximize the power of the Blazing Barrier, you should always utilize 's skill and burst simultaneously. After that, switch to your primary DPS character and use their regular attacks.

What is Thoma's most effective weapon?

Thoma really needs to recover his energy, thus we advise giving him any weapons that increase that stat. Because it has both elemental mastery and energy recharge, Engulfing Lightning is a fantastic option for Thoma in elemental interaction teams. However, it is usually best employed on Genshin Impact’s Raiden or Genshin Impact’s Xiangling.As an alternative, Favonius Lance is a fantastic option to assist Thoma in fulfilling his energy replenishment needs, but it requires a high crit rate to properly activate its passive. Although it doesn't give anything more, this also helps him restore his energy if you have an extra Skyward Spine.Apart from the aforementioned, the Catch stands out as the finest free-to-play choice; yet, it is fiercely disputed by other characters, much like Engulfing Lightning. Though it lags behind in general buffs, Kitain Cross Spear is a decent substitute and significantly more cost-effective for a specialist character like Thoma.

Which artifacts are the best for Thoma?

Thoma's strong elemental mastery makes a four-piece set of The Instructor an excellent option if you want to deploy it on a melt or vaporize squad. It is not without limitations, however. In addition to denying him energy recharge and the crit rate he needs for Favonius Lance's passive, the instructor loses him his shield strength.Alternatively, it's a decent alternative for Thoma if nobody else on the squad owns a pair of Noblesse Oblige. Just make sure Thoma has enough energy to recharge for many explosions before doing this.Combining two Tenacity of the Milelith with two Emblem of Severed Fate makes for a very potent set that gives him energy regeneration and HP% for his shield, however getting this set with all the necessary sub-stats may be somewhat expensive in resin.
Artifact set Effect How to obtain
The Instructor Two equipped: elemental mastery +80
Four equipped: increases all party members’ elemental mastery upon triggering an elemental reaction by 120 for eight seconds

Which Genshin Impact Thoma team competitors are the best?

Thoma may fit into a variety of organizations that gain from pyro interactions since she is a shielder and buffer. This contains soup teams, melt teams, vaporize and reverse vape teams, and more.Thoma may be used as a physical DPS in a hard-to-build superconduct team or as an on-field pyro DPS in burgeon and overload teams, but because there aren't many shielders in the game, we think it would be a shame to not make the most of his special skills.These are some of our favorite Thoma team compositions where he can fully use his elemental application, supporting skills, and shields.Remember that these team competitions provide you lots of space for changes, particularly if the characters can play comparable roles. You may replace Yelan with Xingqiu, Kazuha with Sucrose, Xiao with Wanderer, and so on. To see each character's complete build guide, click on their icon below.

Priority Talent

Thoma's skills should be leveled up in the following order of priority:
  • Elemental skill > elemental burst >> normal attack
Thomas seldom need to be used in combat since their usual attack damage is so little. Consequently, you don't have to bother about leveling them up until you really want to—and even then, only after you've leveled up his skill and burst to their maximum.And that concludes our discussion of Thoma from Genshin Impact.
