The video is a comprehensive guide on optimizing the character Thoma in Genshin Impact, especially with recent updates that expanded his utility in various team compositions. Thoma's adaptation to the "Virgin" and "Burgeon" playstyles centers around maximizing his off-field pyro damage and shield strength by focusing on Elemental Mastery and HP.

In this segment, the video discusses a new effective playstyle for the character Tomah centered around the “Virgin” reaction in the game. With the addition of the dendro element, Tomah can now be built to deal significant off-field pyro damage and act as a powerful shielder by spamming the Virgin reaction in bloom-based teams. The main focus of the video is to detail the optimal build for Tomah, including the best artifacts, weapons, teams, and playstyles. The video highlights that Tomah’s shield strength and damage scale with his max HP and Elemental Mastery. A significant point is that for the Virgin playstyle, Tomah should focus on Elemental Mastery and reaching level 90 to maximize damage. Additionally, the segment notes Tomah’s new utility in certain team compositions, adding more versatility to his role in the game.

In this segment, the video focuses on Thoma’s role as a burgeon carry in Genshin Impact, particularly in teams built around the burgeon reaction. The segment emphasizes Thoma’s strengths in area-of-effect (AOE) damage against large groups of enemies, despite some weaknesses in his scaling compared to other characters. Thoma excels in creating cores and triggering burgeon reactions when paired with Dendro and Hydro characters.
The video discusses the flexibility in team composition, suggesting that while Thoma’s AOE strength makes him valuable, the last team slot can be adapted for single-target options if needed. Thoma’s build priorities should include increasing Elemental Mastery, leveling his skills and burst for better shield strength, and using artifacts that maximize burgeon damage. The “Flower of Paradise Lost” artifact set is highlighted as the optimal choice for boosting burgeon reactions, slightly outperforming the “Gilded Dream” set.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses optimal artifact sets and stats for building Thoma in Genshin Impact. They recommend the “Flower of Paradise Lost” as the best set for Thoma if players choose to farm it, with the “Gilded Dreams” set as a close second. Alternatively, mixing and matching two-piece sets that provide a combined 160 Elemental Mastery (EM) is viable if better options aren’t available. Other potentially useful sets include “Emblem of Severed Fate” for Energy Recharge (ER) and “Crimson Witch of Flames,” although the latter is not as effective.
The speaker also advises pairing Thoma with a character on the “Deepwood Memories” set to reduce enemies’ Dendro resistance and increase Thoma’s Burgeon damage. Energy Recharge is crucial for maintaining Thoma’s burst to proc waves of pyro damage and Burgeon. The exact ER needed varies based on team composition and weapon choices but generally ranges from 150 to 200+.
For stats, players can either focus on Elemental Mastery for Burgeon damage or balance Elemental Mastery with HP for a tankier shield. The recommended stat priority for a Burgeon build is Elemental Mastery on the sands, goblet, and circlet, along with Energy Recharge and HP percent on sub-stats. If Thoma’s shield isn’t sufficient with full Elemental Mastery, players can consider adding another support character or using defensive options.

In this part of the video, the focus is on building an effective hybrid build for Toma, considering options like HP on Sans, Goblet, and Circlet. Discussing team configurations, the video suggests using two Hydro supports with a defensive Toma to avoid needing another healer, thereby increasing team damage output. Two main build approaches are mentioned: ensuring enough Energy Recharge and stacking Elemental Mastery or HP for either Burge damage or Shield strength, with Elemental Mastery being the preferred focus.
The video then shifts to Toma’s best weapons, recommending the Katane Crossbeard for its Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge benefits. It advises using Toma’s Elemental skill after his burst for energy regeneration. Other recommended weapons include the Favonius Lance for energy generation and the Dragon’s Bane for personal damage against Hydro or Pyro-affected enemies. These weapons provide varying balances between personal and team support benefits.
Finally, the segment highlights Toma’s value even with low investment, requiring mainly Elemental Mastery, adequate Energy Recharge, and basic Talent levels. Notable constellations are mentioned, including the fourth constellation for added energy and the sixth constellation for increased party attack damage, further enhancing Toma’s utility.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the capabilities and optimal team compositions for the character Tomah in a game. Tomah excels as a Pyro slot in a typical ‘Virgin’ team setup, which usually includes one Hydro character, one Dendro character, and a flexible slot. Tomah’s early constellations improve his abilities significantly, offering reduced cooldowns and extended burst duration, enabling 100% Elemental Burst uptime.
The Hydro slot is recommended for on-field characters like Ayato or Kokomi, who can provide both auto-attacks and healing. Ayato is preferred for his damage output, while Kokomi also offers healing benefits, allowing Tomah to focus on Elemental Mastery.
For the Dendro slot, Nahida is an ideal choice, but free-to-play options like the main character or Kolei are viable as well. The flexible slot can accommodate various support characters to enhance the team’s damage output.
Overall, the segment emphasizes the strategic selection of team members to maximize Tomah’s effectiveness, particularly focusing on balancing damage output and survivability.

In this segment of the video, the discussion revolves around flexible team compositions in a certain game, particularly focusing on using Tomah in various roles. The narrator emphasizes the versatility of the last team slot, recommending different options such as Hydro, Cryo characters for “fridge comps,” or Anemo supports like Kazuha or Sucrose. The importance of synergy between elements and characters is highlighted, noting that most Hydro and Dendro characters are viable in these roles.
Additionally, Tomah’s role is expanded beyond just providing shields; he can be paired with other Pyro carries or used in a “shield bot” build with characters like Wanderer, Faruzan, and Bennett. The narrator points out that Tomah, especially with his constellations, fits well into these teams by generating energy and increasing attack damage when shielded. This enhances his usability and effectiveness in both Virgin and Wanderer teams. The overarching message is Tomah’s newfound versatility and significance in team compositions thanks to recent updates and synergies.

In this part of the video, the creator mentions that any additional information will be in a pinned comment. The footage primarily comes from a previous Abyss rotation due to timing and the fact that Virgin Clips were recorded earlier. The new Abyss is currently less favorable for Virgin but the creator expects it to be strong in future rotations. The video does not include a full Abyss 12 showcase, instead featuring relevant footage due to the current Abyss setup. The guide aims to be helpful, and the creator signs off by thanking the viewers and promising to see them in the next video.
