### Malefic Gun (Buff)

### Malefic Bomb (Burst, Buff)

_CD: 6   Mana Cost: 35_

Layla fires a Malefic Bomb in the target direction, dealing 200 **(+80% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to the first enemy hit (can Crit).

Upon hitting an enemy, Layla's Basic Attacks and **Void Projectile** gain extra range for 3s, and she gains 60% extra Movement Speed that decays over 1.2s. The duration of the Movement Speed boost is doubled if an enemy hero is hit.

### Void Projectile (AOE, CC)

_CD: 7.5   Mana Cost: 70_

Layla fires an orb of Malefic Energy at the target, dealing 170 **(+65% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to the target and nearby enemies and applying a **Magic Mark** to the target for 3s.

### Destruction Rush (Burst, Buff)

_CD: 37   Mana Cost: 130_

**Passive**: The range of **Void Projectile** and Basic Attacks is increased by 0.6 units. Layla's sight range is slightly increased each time this skill is upgraded.

## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Minsitthar](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/minsitthar.md), [Belerick](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/belerick.md)

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**: [Tigreal](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/tigreal.md), [Belerick](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/belerick.md)

Layla's relatively longer attack range lets her counter slow Tanks like Tigreal and Belerick.

**Weak against**: [Karina](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/karina.md), [Ling](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/ling.md)

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.
