Summary
Layla stood out in hands-on play as one of The Duskbloods' most distinctive Bloodsworn, built around precise sniper combat rather than the more typical close-range rhythm.
Her sniper rifle can be fired normally or aimed down sights for higher-accuracy shots and headshots, while Twin Katars give her a fast fallback option when enemies close in.
Neb-Ra Vanishing adds an early escape tool without leveling up, turning Layla into a cloud of bugs that dashes away and leaves a decoy to draw NPC aggro.
Sigil of an Old Friend also doubles as a tutorial for the Alliance system, rewarding players for reuniting with a randomly assigned former ally during a match's early phases.
The Network Test begins on Switch 2 on August 21, offering an early look at FromSoftware's PvPvE game ahead of its planned 2026 release.
