Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Thoma - Game Rant

There are several roles a character can fill in Genshin Impact. Some units are highly flexible, like Ganyu and Kokomi, while some others are really niche, such as Gorou and Kujou Sara. Meanwhile, Genshin Impact characters like Thoma place in the middle, where he can fit in many teams, but can only fill one role.

Thoma is the most recent addition to the roster of shielders in Genshin Impact, where he brings Pyro shields to the table, similar to Xinyan. However, unlike the Liyue Rockstar, Thoma's kit doesn't allow him to play as a main DPS.

Thoma's Best Weapons In Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, Thoma's main role is a shield support. As of version 2.5, he's the only character that can maintain 100% shield uptime without a weapon effect (alongside Zhongli, of course). He also deals damage periodically when his Elemental Burst is active. This ability will not steal the DPS's Elemental Reaction, so players won't have to worry about pairing him with characters like Hu Tao.

Because Thoma's shield is the strongest when his Elemental Burst is active, he highly relies on this ability to support the team. Unfortunately, he has poor Energy production, so he can't recharge his Burst on his own. To fix this, players can either pair him with a Battery like Bennett or use an Energy Recharge weapon.

This Energy issue doesn't last, though. If Thoma comes home four more times and unlocks his fourth Constellation, players can focus more on other stats. This is because Thoma's C4 grants 15 Energy after he casts his Elemental Burst.

Best Weapons For C0 Thoma

If Thoma has zero Constellation, players should focus on a Polearm that enhances his Energy regeneration. So weapons with Energy Recharge (ER) are the way to go.

Engulfing Lightning: Engulfing Lightning is a 5-star Polearm in Genshin Impact. It's excellent for both the ER sub-stat and damage buff that scales with the stat. Moreover, the weapon further increases the wielder's ER after they cast their Elemental Burst, making it a perfect choice for Thoma.
Favonius Lance: This 4-star equipment may require some godly Critical Rate sub-stat to function, but if players manage to get a decent Crit Rate, they'll find that Thoma doesn't only support his own Energy regeneration, but the whole team's as well.

Best Weapons For C4 Thoma

Meanwhile, if players manage to get C4 Thoma, they should first test how he performs without an Energy Recharge Polearm. If his Elemental Burst fills up without a hitch, then Travelers can swap his weapon to those that enhance his HP.

Black Tassel: Black Tassel may be a 3-star weapon in Genshin Impact, but the HP sub-stat it provides is highly useful for shielders like Thoma and Zhongli.
Staff of Homa: Meanwhile, the 5-star Homa is a more offensive option, where Thoma will gain both HP and ATK that scales with his HP. The Housekeeper will deal higher damage with this Polearm.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
