If he causes good damage, Thomas remains weak enough to need a build that allows him to offer the best of his skills. There Reaper's Light is the ideal weapon, offering a great bonus to energy recharge, but also to damage depending on it. By supplementing this with the Emblem of Shattered Fate, the spearman sees his DPS drastically increase. However, in the absence of the Reaper's Light, there are other more affordable options. In particular, it is possible to turn to The catch to play on the critics, or the Stellar Polearm (Prototype) in order to make basic attacks profitable.

Priority order

Blazing Blessing > Scarlet O-yoroi > Swift Spear

Thomas' base damage isn't among the highest, but he takes full advantage of his Energy Recharge build to compose. Once level 6 is reached with each skill, you will have to make choices so as not to waste resources. If all the energy recharge could make you want to favor O-yoroi écarlate, Blazing Blessing remains much more attractive. It offers very significant defensive options, in addition to benefiting from substantial direct damage. Finally comes the Speedy Spear, always useful to fill the gaps between two skills.

How to play Thomas?

With his build, Thomas' goal in Genshin Impact is to deliver consistent damage and consistent use of his elemental unleash. Thus, if he will be used more often as a DPS, his O-yoroi écarlate allows him to strengthen his allies. But when he evolves alone, it's his Blazing Blessing which gives him the best offensive and defensive options.

If he is not the most powerful DPS, far from it, Thomas retains a certain usefulness for all activities. Its barrier offered by its elementary skill, as well as its unleashing, which can be combined with other shields, it offers a very powerful defensive option, combined with more than correct damage.
