Thoma is a four-star Pyro polearm user and a close aide to the Kamisato family. He performs as a shielder and off-field sub-DPS unit, with the ability to apply Pyro every few seconds.
However, his shield and off-field damage suffer from split scaling (HP vs. Attack), so he must be built specifically for his role in your team. While Thoma is a little complex to build, putting in the effort pays off as there are very few Pyro shielders in Genshin Impact. Here are some of my recommendations on how to build Thoma, including his best Artifacts, stats, weapons, and teams.
