Wriothesley is a brand new Ice unit in Genshin Impact. If you are pulling for the character, here is a guide on the unit covering his artifacts, weapons, and other areas.

Wriothesley is an HP scaling DPS unit in the game. He seems interesting and has a really fun playstyle. This unit is all about punching enemies in the face with as much force as possible.

However, you need to take care of his HP as his damage is directly related to how this particular stat increases or decreases. Therefore, you have to ensure that his HP does not fall too much where he gets one-shot by the enemy.

In any case, here is a detailed guide for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact.

Best weapon for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact

Wriothesley’s best-in-slot weapon makes him a very powerful unit

The best weapon for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact is Cashflow Supervision. This weapon has a CRIT Rate secondary stat which is always a viable option for a DPS unit. Additionally, this weapon increases the ATK of the wearer by 16%.

Once there is an increase or decrease in HP, Normal ATK DMG is increased by 16%, and a 14% increase in Charged Attack DMG. At 3 stacks, the wielder gains 8% ATK SPD. This weapon is exceptionally good, but the only way to get it is from the weapon banner whenever it becomes available.

You can also use the weapon called Tulaytullah’s Remembrance. This is the best-in-slot weapon for Scaramouche and if you have an extra in your inventory, you can give it to Wriothesley. However, this weapon is also limited and hard to obtain.

The best free-to-play weapon you can go for is 4-star Catalyst, The Widsith. The stats that this weapon provides are the best for any Catalyst user in the game, and you should have a few lying around if you have been playing for a long time.

Best Wriothesley Team Comp in Genshin Impact

Wriothesley is an HP scaling unit, but there are no direct buffers in the game. Therefore, you need to run something else with him. One of the best teams you can run with Wriothesley is a freeze composition with Rosaria, Kokomi, and Kazuha.

You can also run, Shenhe, Kokomi, and Kazuha if you have those units. Additionally, you can run, Rosaria, Xingqiu, and Kazuha, which is more of a free-to-play freeze composition.

However, if you want, you can run melt compositions too. You can try going for Shenhe, Xiangling, and, Bennett. Unfortunately, the melt composition feels clunky and is difficult to run, especially in the Spiral Abyss. Remember, using Bennett is necessary in the melt team, but it is counter-productive on account of his skill.
