MELT DPS Build

Weapons

Cashflow Supervision

CRIT Rate

Excellent CRIT stat stick; its offensive bonuses line up well with a heavy Normal Attack rotation, fueling consistent Melt crits.

Tulaytullah's Remembrance

CRIT DMG

Use Skill or Burst before attacking to activate its Normal Attack SPD and DMG buffs, maximizing Melt uptime.

A Thousand Floating Dreams

Elemental Mastery

High Elemental Mastery amplifies Melt damage; also grants party-wide EM, boosting overall reaction value.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds

CRIT Rate

Sticky on-field option with Elemental DMG Bonus that ramps while staying active; ideal for sustained all-in Melt windows.

Tome of the Eternal Flow

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG secondary eases ratio building; its ATK and Normal Attack buffs reward weaving attacks between skills and bursts.

Skyward Atlas

ATK%

Raw ATK% and unconditional Elemental DMG Bonus—a simple but effective generalist for spearheading Melt.

Mappa Mare

Elemental Mastery

Craftable Elemental Mastery choice; triggering Melt reliably procs its Elemental DMG Bonus.

The Widsith

CRIT DMG

Random buff on swap; when it rolls Elemental Mastery or Elemental DMG Bonus, burst damage spikes hard.

Ballad of the Boundless BlueR5

Energy Recharge

Free-to-play friendly with ATK%; enables faster Burst and simplifies stat balancing on early builds.

Flowing Purity

ATK%

Craftable option that boosts Elemental DMG Bonus after healing; pairs well with a healer to produce strong Melt procs.

Artifacts

Marechaussee Hunter

4-piece grants a large CRIT Rate buff when HP changes; pair with a healer or HP-fluctuation mechanics to land reliable Melt crits.

Shimenawa's Reminiscence

2-piece ATK% and 4-piece charged-attack bonuses reward heavy Normal/Charged play, but conserve energy to avoid missing Burst.

Gilded Dreams

2-piece Elemental Mastery and 4-piece adaptive ATK/EM boost shine in triple-element teams, directly scaling Melt damage.

Echoes of an Offering

4-piece boosts Normal Attack DMG on-hit with a decent proc rate; use a fast attack string to trigger Melt consistently.

Blizzard Strayer

ATK +18% set

Elemental Mastery +80 set

4-piece grants CRIT Rate against Cryo-affected enemies, boosting Melt attack crits; the 2-piece Cryo DMG is wasted on a Pyro DPS.

MELT DPS
Wriothesley uses Melt to amplify attack damage. Weapon rankings assume Bennett.

Weapon Choices:
Flowing Purity: Stronger if you can reliably clear Bond of Life; then equal or better than Ballad of the Boundless Blue [R5].

MONO CRYO / FREEZE DPS
Wriothesley runs Mono Cryo or Freeze for Cryo resonance. His Charged Attack shatters, so Freeze uptime is inconsistent. Mono Cryo drops Freeze to fit another Cryo support.

Weapon Choices:
Flowing Purity: Stronger if you can reliably clear Bond of Life; then equal or better than The Widsith.

Artifact Set Choices:
Blizzard Strayer (4): Shattering Freeze costs uptime. Unlike Marechaussee Hunter (4), it can't be used in Melt teams, lowering versatility.

Wriothesley Permafrost Fanfare — Furina Freeze Core

Xilonen's Source Samples shred <cryo>Cryo</cryo> RES while Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City buffs the carry; Charlotte and Xilonen heals keep the party topped up so Furina's Fanfare stays high.
Freeze locks down non-boss enemies, but bosses are never permanently Frozen, so treat Freeze as crowd control rather than a damage multiplier. Two Scroll users do not provide two copies of the same buff.

Furina's off-field <hydro>Hydro</hydro> and Fanfare buff amplify Wriothesley's Cryo damage, while Charlotte and Xilonen heal the HP her Salon Members drain. Xilonen's Source Samples add RES shred and Freeze provides crowd control on non-boss enemies.

Wriothesley Double Geo C1 Chiori Melt Squad

Wriothesley hypercarry with Furina Hydro application and a Burst buff fueled by party HP swings, healed back by Xilonen so Fanfare keeps stacking. Chiori C1 adds a second Tamoto thanks to the extra Geo ally, giving constant off-field Geo chip damage and RES shred support.
Note: Geo hits trigger Crystallize, consuming the Cryo/Hydro aura, so this is not a permanent Freeze lock against every enemy.

Xilonen shreds Cryo and Hydro RES while healing to fuel Furina Fanfare, and Chiori C1 converts the second Geo slot into an extra Tamoto for free off-field damage.
