1st	Tulaytullah's Remembrance	CRIT DMG 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - Great for boosting the DMG of Normal ATK and ATK Speed of Wriothesley. - Sub-Stat is also amazing for building since CRIT DMG sub-stat is important.
2nd	Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds	CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate Sub-Stat together with the artifact, Marechausse Hunter, allows you to no longer invest on CRIT Rate. - Movement Speed buff and Elemental DMG Bonus is great for DPS increase. - Buffs needs to long time on-field to maximize.
