Lauma is the highly anticipated 5-star Dendro catalyst user debuting in the second half of Genshin Impact Version 6.0—and she’s already being hailed as the game’s first dedicated Lunar Bloom support since Baizhu. Her unique mechanics and synergy with Nod-Krai’s new elemental reaction systems make her one of the most strategically important characters introduced to date.

Thanks to Jello Impact on YouTube, we now have a comprehensive breakdown of Lauma’s leaked kit, reaction potential, team synergy, and future-proof value.

Who Is Lauma?

  • Element: Dendro
  • Weapon: Catalyst
  • Role: Off-field Support / Reaction Buffer
  • Core Mechanic: Converts all Bloom-related reactions into Lunar Bloom

Lauma isn’t just another Dendro support—her entire kit is designed to reshape the Bloom ecosystem. She converts Hyperbloom, Burgeon, regular Bloom, and Nu Bloom into a new version: Lunar Bloom.

What Is Lunar Bloom?

Lunar Bloom is an advanced reaction type that:

  • Can crit (15% CRIT Rate, 100% CRIT DMG base)
  • Becomes stronger (25% CRIT Rate, 120% CRIT DMG) when another Nod-Krai character is on the team
  • Generates dew drops, which Lauma uses to amplify and buff team damage

Lauma’s Exploration and Normal Attacks

While Lauma’s normal attacks are Dendro-infused, she isn’t meant to be a typical on-field unit. However, her charged attack transforms her into a deer that sprints and jumps twice—a mechanic that doubles as both exploration tool and AoE attack.

  • Stamina-consuming sprint
  • AoE hit on completion
  • Grants interruption resistance while active

This could offer a minor on-field DPS alternative, but the kit heavily leans toward off-field support usage.

Elemental Skill: Dendro Application + Resistance Shred

Skill Details:

  • Tap: Small AoE Dendro burst
  • Hold: Summons a field that follows you and pulses AoE Dendro every 2s
  • Requires dew drops (generated via any team member triggering Bloom)

Key Buffs:

  • Reduces Dendro and Hydro resistance
  • Enables flexible Bloom comp synergy with either on-field Hydro or Dendro units
  • Encourages a second Dendro character for consistent uptime

The resistance shred makes Lauma a complete buffer—not just a reaction enabler.

Elemental Burst: Quill-Like Bloom Buffs

Lauma’s burst is where she truly shines as a Lunar Bloom analog to Shenhe.

What It Does:

  • Consumes dew drops (from Lunar Bloom)
  • Converts them into quill-like buffs, increasing Lunar Bloom damage
  • Up to 18 boosted reactions
  • Works in AoE and doesn’t lose value on multi-hit enemies (unlike Shenhe)

The EM scaling on her burst and passive opens the door for extremely potent team comps. Even though the cap is 18 Lunar Bloom triggers, that’s still a significant reaction count for most rotations.

Passive Talents

  • Bloom Conversion: Converts all Blooms to Lunar Blooms, providing consistent team synergy
  • Crit Scaling Based on Team Composition: Boosts Lunar Bloom crit values when paired with another Nod-Krai unit
  • EM-based cooldown reduction for her charge attack (minor exploration benefit or niche on-field potential)

C1 Lauma: The Hidden Healer?

At Constellation 1, Lauma gains a healing mechanic—though its strength is currently unclear. If strong enough, this could replace the need for dedicated healers like Baizhu or Yaoyao, letting players run more aggressive comps.

This healing effect may be intentionally locked behind C1 as a form of strategic monetization, especially given that many powerful Dendro options rely on external healing. If her C1 proves essential, it could push her even higher in long-term value—but also raises questions about accessibility.

Team Synergy & Artifact Optimization

New Artifact Synergy

Lauma makes excellent use of the new Lunar artifact sets introduced in 6.0:

  • On-Field Set: +45% Crit Rate, +20% Lunar Reaction DMG
  • Off-Field Set: +180 EM and +20% Lunar Reaction DMG to the team

Important note: These bonuses activate as long as two Nod-Krai characters are in the party—they do not require the set holder to be on-field. This massively opens up team building.

Best Teammates for Lauma

Strong Synergies:

  • Ineffa – Electro Lunar Charge enabler
  • Flins – Electro DPS who scales with teamwide reactions
  • Colombina (future) – Off-field Hydro enabler for Lunar Bloom
  • Nahida – High EM support for consistent Dendro application
  • Nefer (future) – On-field Dendro DPS that likely triggers Bloom reactions

Viable Alternatives:

  • Yelan / Xingqiu / Ino – Hydro off-field units
  • Alhaitham / Chlorinde – On-field drivers who benefit from Dendro buffs
  • Kuki Shinobu – Hyperbloom trigger in hybrid teams
  • Tighnari / Yaoyao – Flexible Dendro support/DPS options

Lauma opens up combinations between Lunar Bloom, Hyperbloom, Burgeon, and future nodal reactions. Her burst and resistance shred make her viable in both standard and experimental team comps.

Will Lauma Be Power-Creeped?

Maybe—but not immediately.

She’s designed to synergize with current and future Nod-Krai units, especially Colombina and Nefer. Once those characters are released, we could see Lauma becoming the centerpiece of high-end Bloom comps.

For now, Lauma + Ino is a strong combination, but Ino will likely be replaced by Colombina, creating a premium lineup like:

Nefer + Lauma + Colombina + Nahida
Theoretical BIS for Lunar Bloom teams

Final Thoughts

Lauma is shaping up to be a defining Bloom support for the next era of Genshin Impact. With her unique blend of:

  • Reaction conversion
  • Lunar Bloom amplification
  • Teamwide EM utility
  • Resistance shred
  • Optional healing at C1

She offers meta-defining potential not just for current comps but for what’s to come in the Nod-Krai arc.

Whether you’re a fan of Bloom, Hyperbloom, or just want to future-proof your Dendro teams, Lauma is a strong pull—even at C0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What role does Lauma play in a team?
A: Lauma is a Dendro catalyst who converts all Blooms into Lunar Blooms, buffs their damage, and reduces enemy Hydro/Dendro RES. She is a Bloom support with scaling similar to Shenhe but built for Dendro reactions.

Q: Do I need C1 Lauma?
A: C1 unlocks healing potential. It’s not mandatory but may be essential in teams lacking a dedicated healer.

Q: What’s the best team for Lauma right now?
A: Ineffa + Lauma + Nahida + Xingqiu/Yelan/Ino is a strong starter comp. This will improve once Colombina and Nefer release.

Q: Can I use Lauma on-field?
A: It’s possible but not optimal. Her kit leans heavily into off-field support, though her unique exploration charge attack offers some on-field AoE.

Q: What’s her long-term potential?
A: Extremely high. Lauma is likely to be core to Bloom-based meta comps throughout the Nod-Krai cycle.
