Looking for more build variety for Wriothesley? Check out the sections below.
Wriothesley Build: Best Artifact
- Marechaussee Hunter (4-piece)
- Blizzard Strayer (4-piece)
- Echoes of An Offering (4-piece)
- Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (4-piece)
The best way to build Wriothesley is by using the 4-piece Marechaussee Hunter artifact set. Since Wriothesley sacrifices his HP for an attack boost and gains HP using charged attacks, Marachaussee Hunter is tailor-made for Wriothesley. Other than that, you can also try using Blizzard Strayer, Echoes of An Offering, and Shimenawa’s Reminiscence.
Wriothesley Build: Main and Sub Stats
- Sands: Attack%
- Goblet: Cryo Damage Bonus %
- Circlet: Crit Damage %
- Sub-stats: Crit Damage = Crit Rate > Attack % > ERR
For Wriothesley, you need to stack up as much Crit Rate and Damage as possible since most of his damage comes from just raw Crit stats and the Attack% sub-stats. Prioritize Attack percentage on the Sands and sub-stats with Crit Rate and Crit Damage, balance the crit Ratio, and have at least 60% Crit Rate and 220%+ Crit Damage.
Both Marechaussee Hunter and Blizzard Strayer should help you with the Crit Rate and you can solely focus on increasing his Crit Damage. However, if you don’t have good Blizzard and Marechaussee artifacts, you could pair him with Nymph’s Dream and Shimenawa’s for increased Normal and Charged attack damage. As for the stats’ importance: Crit Damage ≡ Crit Rate > Attack%.
Wriothesley Build: Best Weapons
There are lots of good Catalysts in the game, but some of the best weapons for Wriothesley are the following:
- Cashflow Supervision
- Tome of the Eternal Flow
- Tulaytullah’s Remembrance
- The Widsith
- Flowing Purity
- Mappa Mare
Among all the weapons, Cashflow Supervision is the best weapon for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact. It increases Wriothesley’s attack and attack speed by a lot, making it very good for him. Other than that, the Tome of the Eternal Flow and Tulaytullah’s Remembrance are good 5-star alternatives.
If you are looking for a 4-star weapon, then The Widsith is the best 4-star weapon for Wriothesley. You can also use Flowing Purity and Mappa Mare.
Wriothesley Build: Best Teams
- Melt teams: Wriothesley, Mavuika, Furina, Xilonen
- Double Cryo Melt teams: Wriothesley, Shenhe, Xiangling, Bennet
- Freeze teams: Wriothesley, Furina, Xilonen, Charlotte
- Mono Cryo teams: Wriothesley, Shenhe, Diona, Kaedehara Kazuha
- Hyperbloom teams: Wriothesley, Furina, Nahida, Kuki Shinobu
When it comes to Wriothesley’s best teams, melt teams are still the best and most enjoyable for him. With the additions of Mavuika, Wriothesley’s damage output is also considerably increased. You can pair him with Furina, Mavuika, and Xilonen to create his best team. However, Mavuika’s pyro application is not enough for regular melts if you are using Wriothesley’s normal combo, so make sure to skip the combo mid-way to deal the regular Melt damage.
Other than that, Wriothesley is great with freeze teams and mono cryo teams. You can play him alongside Shenhe to get the extra cryo resonance. Hyperbloom teams are also a decent pick for Wriothesley.

Wriothesley Talents
To find out where most of Wriothesley’s damage comes from, let’s have a brief look at his Talents and Passives
- Normal Attack “Forceful Fists of Frost“: A series of five consecutive blows dealing Cryo Damage. This is where most of his damage comes from. His charged attack unleashes a massive Cryo punch that deals Cryo AoE Damage, consuming a fixed amount of Stamina. His Plunging attack makes him strike the ground from mid-air, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Cryo damage upon impact.
- Elemental Skill “Icefang Rush”: Wriothesley sacrifices a small portion of his HP and enhances his Normal and Charged Attacks to deal more damage. Increases his Interrupt Resistance, and when his HP is above 50%, it will enhance the Repelling Fists of Normal Attack and increase its Damage. When such an attack hits, it will consume a fixed amount of Wriothesley’s HP. HP can be lost this way once every 0.1 seconds. This effect will be canceled should Wriothesley leave the field.
- Elemental Burst “Darkgold Wolfbite”: Unleashes a massive AoE Cryo Attack knocking enemies afar. This is a series of five Cryo attacks.
Wriothesley Passives
- Passive-1 – There Shall Be a Plea for Justice: When Wriothesley’s HP is less than 60%, he will obtain a Gracious Rebuke. The next Charged Attack of his Normal Attack will be enhanced to become Rebuke: Vaulting Fist. It will not consume Stamina, will deal 50% increased DMG, and after hitting will restore HP for Wriothesley equal to 30% of his Max HP. You can gain a Gracious Rebuke this way once every 5 seconds.
- Passive-2 – There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin: When Wriothesley’s current HP increases or decreases, if he is in the Chilling Penalty state conferred by Icefang Rush, Chilling Penalty will gain one stack of Prosecution Edict. Max 5 stacks. Each stack will increase Wriothesley’s ATK by 6%.
