#2 Wriothesley Double Geo C1 Chiori Melt Squad

Note: Geo hits trigger Crystallize, consuming the Cryo/Hydro aura, so this is not a permanent Freeze lock against every enemy.

#5 Wriothesley Burning Melt — Emilie & Xilonen S-Tier
Tier SEmilie benefits from Burning maintained with Bennett's Pyro application. Melt timing depends on the available Pyro aura; do not assume every Cryo hit Melts.

#8 Wriothesley Melt #4: Shenhe C6 & Mavuika Cryo Melt

#9 Wriothesley Stellar-Conduct Cryo-Electro Core
Tier SSWriothesley drives this Cryo / Electro Stellar-Conduct team from inside the Polestar Field.
Keep Yae Miko turrets and the support buffs alive for the entire on-field attack window, and manage Wriothesley's HP so the enhanced attacks and self-healing stay available. His Burst is optional and never replaces the attack sequence.
Wriothesley, Yae Miko, Odette, Alyosha — Wriothesley Stellar-Conduct Cryo-Electro Core. Wriothesley (Main DPS), Yae Miko (Sub DPS), Odette (Support), Alyosha (Support).
Core Idea
