Update: We have made minor updates to the build guide on January 15, 2024.
Best Build For Wriothesley In Genshin Impact
Wriothesly shares similarities to previously released characters like Dehya, Xiao, and Hu Tao in some aspects, for example, his Elemental Skill, Icefang Rush, if your HP is above 50%, you get a Chilling Penalty effect that increases your Normal ATK DMG while gradually decreasing your HP.
Now, when we talk about the best build for Wriothesley, the only thing you must keep in mind while trying different builds is the fact that all of his attacks are imbued with Cryo, so increasing Cryo DMG% will directly increase his every attack's DMG output.
Apart from that, having Wriothesly healed up is going to add more damage value to his attacks, so remember this while devising your own team comp.
Lastly, Wriothesly's Elemental Burst, Darkgold Wolfbite, deals AoE Cryo DMG, but in an area in front of you.
Note: We will be updating this build guide once we get our hands on Wriothesly when he comes out.
Best Weapons For Wriothesley In Genshin Impact
The best weapon for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact is none other than his signature weapon, Cashflow Supervision, as it is made while keeping his kit in mind.
Cashflow Supervision is a five-star Catalyst in Genshin Impact whose secondary stat bonus is Crit Rate%.
Moreover, what stands out the most is the weapon's skill that increases ATK%, and with any change in his HP, it increases your Normal ATK DMG, and if you stack the effects of the weapon's skill three times, you even get an attack speed boost.
So, with a single weapon, you are getting three massive buffs for Wriothesley that go in line with his entire character kit.
Apart from that, you can also use the four-star Catalyst, Solar Pearl, as its weapon skill increases your Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG whenever you use Normal ATK.
Now, thanks to the nature of Wriothesly's abilities, there are a ton of Catalysts that you can use on him, say, for example, the Tulaytullah's Remembrance, Skyward Atlas, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Kagura's Verity, Flowing Purity, Frostbearer, The Widsith , and more.
The only thing that changes with using different weapons, other than the first two that we recommended, is that your attack and ability usage will differ.
Best Artifacts For Wriothesley In Genshin Impact
The best artifact for Wriothesly in Genshin Impact is Marechaussee Hunter, as it increases Normal and Charged ATK Damage and the CRIT Rate% whenever there is a change in HP%.
Apart from that, you can also use the Blizzard Strayer artifact set on Wriothesley as all of his attacks are Cryo-based, and the artifact also helps you increase CRIT Rate so that you can focus on CRIT DMG while choosing the sub-stats.
You can also use Shimenawa's Reminiscence as it increases the ATK% while increasing your Normal, Charged, and Plunging ATK damage by 50% at the expense of your Elemental Burst Energy.
Lastly, you can combine two pieces of Blizzard Strayer with Gladiator's Finale or Shimenawa's Reminiscence to get Cryo DMG and ATK buffs.
