Synergizes With
Layla works best with Tanks that can protect backline heroes, such as Minsitthar and Belerick, since their protection gives Layla more opportunities to deal damage.
Strong Against
Layla's relatively longer attack range lets her counter slow Tanks like Tigreal and Belerick.
Weak Against
Layla is countered by Assassins with high burst damage, such as Karina and Ling, as they can get the jump on Layla and melt her easily.
