CRIT DMG

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.

Wriothesley Skills

Forceful Fists of Frost

Normal Attack
Coalescing frost about his fist, Wriothesley will unleash powerful Repelling Fists, performing up to 5 rapid attacks that deal Cryo DMG.
Apart from this, Normal Attack combo count will not reset for a short time after using Icefang Rush or sprinting.

Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to leap and unleash a Vaulting Fist, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon impact.

Icefang Rush

"Past convictions are past. It is our future choices that we must grasp."
"Defy your fate, or else this glutton be, to pay your fate's due, by the crime and thee."

Adjusting his breathing, rhythm, and pace, Wriothesley sprints forward a short distance, entering the Chilling Penalty state and unleashing more powerful attacks than before.

Chilling Penalty
·Increases Wriothesley's interruption resistance
·When his HP is above 50%, it will enhance the Repelling Fists of Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost and increase its DMG. When such an attack hits, it will consume a fixed amount of Wriothesley's HP. HP can be lost this way once every 0.1s.
This effect will be canceled should Wriothesley leave the field.

Darkgold Wolfbite

There are some things that even the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide can do little about — for example, complicated paperwork, the trivialities of a supervisor, or even... little kids pasting a whole host of cute but difficult-to-remove stickers on his boxing gloves.

Passive Talent

There Shall Be a Plea for Justice

Ascension Phase 1

When Wriothesley's HP is less than 60%, he will obtain a Gracious Rebuke. The next Charged Attack of his Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost 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 5s.

There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin

Ascension Phase 4

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%.

The Duke's Grace

Passive

When Wriothesley crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product.

Constellations

Terror for the Evildoers

Constellation Lv. 1

The Gracious Rebuke from the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Plea for Justice" is changed to this:
When Wriothesley's HP is less than 60% or while he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by Icefang Rush, when the fifth attack of Repelling Fists hits, it will create a Gracious Rebuke. 1 Gracious Rebuke effect can be obtained every 2.5s.

Additionally, Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will obtain the following enhancement:
· The DMG Bonus gained will be further increased to 200%.
· When it hits while Wriothesley is in the Chilling Penalty state, that state's duration is extended by 4s. 1 such extension can occur per 1 Chilling Penalty duration.

You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Plea for Justice."

Shackles for the Arrogant

Constellation Lv. 2

When using Darkgold Wolfbite, each Prosecution Edict stack from the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin" will increase said ability's DMG dealt by 40%.
You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin."

Punishment for the Frauds

Constellation Lv. 3

Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Redemption for the Suffering

Constellation Lv. 4

The HP restored to Wriothesley through Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will be increased to 50% of his Max HP. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Plea for Justice."
Additionally, when Wriothesley is healed, if the amount of healing overflows, the following effects will occur depending on whether he is on the field or not. If he is on the field, his ATK SPD will be increased by 20% for 4s. If he is off-field, all of your own party members' ATK SPD will be increased by 10% for 6s. These two methods of increasing ATK SPD cannot stack.

Mercy for the Wronged

Constellation Lv. 5

Increases the Level of Darkgold Wolfbite by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Esteem for the Innocent

Constellation Lv. 6

The CRIT Rate of Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will be increased by 10%, and its CRIT DMG by 80%. When unleashed, it will also create an additional icicle that deals 100% of Rebuke: Vaulting Fist's Base DMG as Cryo DMG. DMG dealt this way is regarded as Charged Attack DMG.
You must first unlock the Ascension Talent "There Shall Be a Plea for Justice."

Outfits

Night's Chilling Howl

Default
