What Kind Of Character Is Wriothesley?

Wriothesley Is A Main DPS That Deals Damage With Normal & Charged Attack

Cryo Normal Attacker

Wriothesley is a character from Fontaine that is a Main DPS and requires on-field time. Wriothesley deals damage mainly using a combo of boosted Normal Attacks and Charged Attack.

Reduces His Own HP For More DMG & Heals Them Back

↳ Do not have a high energy recharge to be strong.
- Normal Attack combos does not break even after sprinting.
- Flexible team comps and can be used at Melt and Freeze teams.
- With proper use, he is able to self-sustain himself.
Weakness
- HP range requirement of Wriothesley's passive and skills can make it difficult to use all parts of his kit at C0.
↳ With a healer, Special Charged Attack may not activate but it is too dangerous to use Wriothesley without a healer.
↳ C1 is helpful to solve this issue.

If you can afford it, aim for a further increase in firepower at C2.

Whoever moved Wriothesley to A tier really should NOT be ranking anything in this game.

Anonymous 12

Why is Solar Pearl not on the list? Is it not a pretty good weapon option for him since it boosts both NA and E.Skill DMG?

yeastori 11

Both 4 piece Echoes of Offering or 4 piece Vermillion are great options for him.
