Layla is a marksman hero with easy difficulty. This is a live guide — win rate, pick rate and counter data refresh every 6 hours from real ranked matches.
Updated · live data refreshed 1 hour ago · every 6 hours
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.
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.

The backbone of the Eruditio Rangers who is also known as the Shining Star.
Layla deals increased damage to enemies farther away from her (starting at 100% and increasing to 115% at 6 units away). This does not include Turrets.
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.
Layla fires an orb of Malefic Energy at the target enemy that explodes on hit, dealing 170 (+65% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to targets in the area and applying a Magic Mark on them for 3s. When Layla hits an enemy with a Magic Mark, she deals 100 (+35% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies and stuns them for 0.25s.
Layla fires a blast of Malefic Energy in the target direction, dealing 500 (+150% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a line. Passive: The range of Layla's Void Projectile and Basic Attacks is increased by 0.6 units. Her sight range is also slightly increased each time this skill is upgraded.

If you want to hold the lane better and want to deal more damage when single enemy is near you, then go for "Master Assassin". Note: she can't trigger its effect from middle-long range distance, only short distance.
