Subtitled the Protector From Afar, Thoma is now available in Genshin Impact.
A polearm wielder, he is aligned with the Pyro element. He's ideal as a support, with shields and buffs aplenty. Our build reflects this.
As of release on November 2, 2021, you can get Thoma from the Hu Tao-focused banner Moment of Bloom.
The best weapons for Thoma in Genshin Impact
The Engulfing Lightning polearm is ideal for Thoma, as it grants Energy Recharge on Elemental Burst use. This is perfect when switching out to your main DPS.
If you haven't pulled this weapon yet, then "The Catch" is a good substitute.

Talent and Constellation priority for Thoma in Genshin Impact
You'll want to max out the Crimson Ooyoroi Elemental Burst first, as that provides the most utility. Focus on the Blazing Blessing Elemental Skill next, or the shielding it offers.
Constellation-wise, A Comrade's Duty (C1) is great for reduced cooldown on Blazing Blessing, while Long-Term Planning (C4) is outstanding for Energy restoration.
