How to Use Layla
Layla is known for her shield, so it is best to use her Elemental Skill that triggers the shield first. Switch to other characters to deal attack. Go back to Layla once the shield fills out and trigger her Elemental Burst. Again, switch to another character for attacks. Have it as a rotation, trigger her shield again, and so on.
