However, fancy abilities don’t solve every problem when you’re stuck in a world containing vampires, especially as some of them are incredibly powerful. Therefore, to get the best of her, you need to unlock the right skills on the skill tree. But the “right skills” partially depend on your style of play. Here are a few different builds that may be a good fit for you.
Support Build
In co-op, Layla is a useful character to have, as she hasseveral skills that help her provide assistance to her teammates. Combining them together makes for a solid support build.
To accomplish this, these are theskills you should aim to get:

Energized Ascension
When lifted into the air by the Lift ability, you and your allies reload faster.
Go Your Own Way
Jason’s attacks improve in various ways. More importantly, they heal Layla and all nearby allies.
Along with getting those specific skills, you shouldgenerally focus on the Lift section of the skill tree.
After all, your teammates can also make use of this power.
Gunslinger Build
Layla is known for her telekinetic powers. Yet, like everyone else, she also hasaccess to plenty of guns.
If you prefer to use weapons more than powers, thenthe following skills are the ones you should be looking at picking up:

High Damage Build
Nobody would consider Layla to be anything resembling a tank, and dealing out high damage isn’t exactly her strong suit.
However, there areseveral skills you can acquire that will boost her overall ability to damage enemies. Here they are:
Jason’s attacks deal more damage.
Boosts Jason’s damage, number of attacks, and attack range. Also, heals you and nearby allies.
Bullet Hail
Increases the damage of the Umbrella Blast based on the amount of damage the Umbrella absorbed.
Thunder Clap
Boosts the range and damage of Umbrella Blast.
All those skills are in the Jason and Umbrella sections, as they’re Layla’smost powerful tools in her arsenal, especially Jason.
So, if you’re going for high damage,those are the sections you need to focus on.
Defense Build
If you’restruggling to survive in the town of Redfall, perhaps you should look into a defense build.
Layla has a few skills that assist in keeping her safe. These arethe ones to look for:
Increases your health generation when HP is low.
Telekiwhatsis
Layla takes less damage from death mist, electrical hazards, and fires.
Jason can revive when she is downed.
Jason’s attacks heal Layla and her allies for a percentage of the damage inflicted. Also improves Jason’s attacks.
Those are the main skills that will keep you from dying due to their healing benefits. TheUmbrella can also stop you from taking as many bullets, so that’s worth investing in also.
Plus,Jason is a partial defensive power, as his presenceserves as a bit of a distraction,thus, feel free to get skills related to him.
