About Thoma - 4 star character

As we’ve mentioned earlier, Thoma is an upcoming 4-star Pyro character that will be released with the Genshin Impact 2.2 update. However, the most astonishing fact is that he is already available in the game as an NPC in the nation of Inazuma. He was initially introduced in the 2.0 live stream as the chief retainer of the Kamisato Clan.

When it comes to abilities, Thoma can perform up to four consecutive spear strikes with a normal attack. Whereas, his charged attack consumes a specific amount of stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. 

Last but not the least, Thoma’s plunging attack plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE damage upon impact.
