Recommended Primary Stats
Melt DPS — Wriothesley triggers Melt to amplify his attacks. Weapon rankings assume Bennett is on the team. Flowing Purity: surpasses Ballad of the Boundless Blue [R5] if you reliably clear its Bond of Life.
Mono Cryo / Freeze DPS — Wriothesley benefits from Cryo Resonance. However, his Charged Attack shatters Freeze, reducing consistency. Mono Cryo drops Freeze for another Cryo support. Flowing Purity: outperforms The Widsith if Bond of Life is cleared reliably. Blizzard Strayer (4): loses uptime due to shatter; unlike Marechaussee Hunter (4), it lacks versatility for Melt teams.
