Redfall presents players with a choice of 4 characters to pick from, each with their own unique abilities and skills. To make your playstyle truly your own, you can also specialize further by creating unique hero builds. One of the playable characters is Layla Ellison, the telekinetic hero, and in this guide, we will get you started with some of Redfall’s best Layla builds to kill vampires with ease.
Redfall Best Layla Builds
Each character in Redfall has three core abilities that define their powers. Before we look into possible builds for Layla, let us look at Layla’s core abilities.
- Lift – Summons a telekinetic lift that can be used to travel around the terrain or climb buildings.
- Umbrella – Summons an energy umbrella to block all incoming damage. The shield will block any incoming damage, and deflect high-energy projectiles back to the enemy.
- Summon Vampire Ex-Boyfriend – Layla summons a powerful ally to help in battle. The summon will disappear after some time so you cannot depend on it indefinitely.
Support Build
Seeing Layla’s abilities, the best build we recommend for Layla is the support build. Your main focus will be assisting your teammates rather than going in for kills. All the skills we choose for this build will help you help your teammates perform better in their fight against vampires.
This build depends on using the Lift ability as your main ability, allowing your teammate to move around the battlefield faster and better while providing buffs and protection to your team.
