In Redfall, players take on the role of heroes, premade characters with customisation options, backgrounds and unique abilities, this guide introduces Layla Ellison, her strengths and the best builds.
The dark and mysterious island of Redfall isn’t probably for “good Vampires” fans. The bloodthirsty monsters are evil and merciless enemies. Once calm and safe Redfall island in Massachusetts now suffers the consequences of a failed scientific experiment that created a legion of vampires who have taken over the town – blocking out the sun and cutting off the remaining citizens from the outside world.
Players take on the role of heroes, four playable characters, each with a unique backstory, abilities and many other customisation options. In an open world like Redfall, your hero characters must collect gear and complete quests to survive cultists and blood-suckers waiting for them everywhere. This guide presents Layla Ellison’s background and motivations. Also, it will help you understand her strengths and abilities to play optimally with this unique hero character.
