Lore
In Eruditio—the City of Scholars, there's hardly anyone who doesn't know Layla. She's the "daughter of Eruditio," just like a bright star that shines over the streets of Eruditio in the darkness of night. Brave and selfless, she always had a bright and happy smile on her face while toting the gun handed to her by her grandfather, protecting Eruditio in her own way. As a child, Layla would always ask her grandfather about her parents, but his reluctance to tell her and his sad face told her it was something tragic. Because of that, Layla decided to never pain her grandfather anymore, so she stopped pursuing the matter. However, as secrets cannot be hidden forever, the truth of her birth eventually surfaced, and it turns out that her parents have always been watching her from the skies—well, in the literal sense.

Counter / cooperate relationship
Matchups
Counters
Layla's relatively longer attack range lets her counter slow Tanks like Tigreal and Belerick.
Tigreal
BelerickCountered by
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.
Karina
LingCompatibility
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.
