Best builds for Wriothesley

Wriothesley utilizes the Melt reaction to deal increased damage with his attacks. Weapon rankings assume you use Bennett.
Regarding Weapon Choices:

  • Flowing Purity: This weapon is more potent if you can reliably clear the Bond of Life. If you can, this weapon is equal or better than Ballad of the Boundless Blue [ R5 ].

Wriothesley can use the Mono Cryo and Freeze teams to benefit from Cryo resonance. However, as Wriothesley's CA shatters, Freeze is not extremely consistent. Mono Cryo removes the Freeze aspect in order to slot another Cryo support.
Regarding Weapon Choices:
  • Flowing Purity: This weapon is more potent if you can reliably clear the Bond of Life. If you can, this weapon is equal or better than The Widsith.

Regarding Artifact Set Choices:
  • Blizzard Strayer (4): Wriothesley shatters Freeze which makes this set lose valuable uptime. Unlike Marechaussee Hunter (4), it cannot be used in Melt teams, and loses versatility.
