Thoma is a 4-star Pyro polearm user from Inazuma, serving as the housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan. While known for his polite demeanor and loyalty, in combat Thoma offers strong Pyro application, shield support, and utility in Burgeon and Overloaded teams.

The best Thoma build focuses on HP%, Energy Recharge, and Elemental Mastery depending on whether you build him as a shielder or a reaction enabler.

Thoma’s shield scales with HP, and his Elemental Burst deals continuous Pyro damage while providing additional shield refreshes. This makes him excellent for off-field Pyro application, particularly in Burgeon teams with Dendro cores.

How to Play Thoma Effectively

The best Thoma build focuses on either maximizing HP for shield uptime or Elemental Mastery for Burgeon triggers. For Burgeon comps, focus on EM and reaction chains. For defensive builds, stack HP% and use ER to ensure consistent Burst uptime.

Yes — Thoma is a versatile 4-star support with reliable shielding and unique synergy in Dendro-Pyro comps. He’s easy to build and brings utility even at low constellation levels.
