Best Teams for Wriothesley
Wriothesley Works Best as a Main DPS for Reaction Teams
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Melt Team - Wriothesley's Melt team makes use of a Pyro Sub-DPS and Anemo character to reapply Pyro. - Durin and Prune can activate Hexerei: Secret Rite. Both can equip Celestial Gift to buff Wriothesley's Cryo DMG. - Durin can be used in his Dark Decay form for his own Melt DMG. |
| 2nd | ▼ Burn-Melt Team - A Dendro character can be used to make the Pyro aura on enemies last longer to trigger Melt more easily with Wriothesley. - Nicole-Durin duo is good for buffing Wriothesley's ATK. Durin can hold Celestial Gift to buff Wriothesley's Cryo DMG. - Durin can be used in either form since White Flame will buff the Dendro character's DMG and Dark Decay will buff Durin's Melt DMG. |
| 3rd | ▼ Freeze Team - Escoffier is a powerful Cryo RES shredder who can provide healing. - This makes her great to use with Furina and Wriothesley even if her healing could interfere with Wriothesley's HP mechanic. - Escoffier's healing can be weakened by building her as a Sub-DPS instead of a pure healer. |
As a Main DPS, Wriothesley has a low HP mechanic which makes him somewhat incompatible with healers. However, getting him too low would be dangerous and bringing a shielder is recommended. Wriothesley excels as a DPS in Cryo reaction teams since his Normal/Charged Attacks apply Cryo as a Catalyst user.
Potential DPS for Stellar-Conduct
Wriothesley's new Passive and Constellation buffs make him a viable DPS for Stellar-Conduct. However, the only enabler for that reaction is also a Main DPS. It's been shown that the Cryo Traveler can enable the reaction, though it's unknown if they'll be a support. If a future character is a support that enables the reaction, Stellar-Conduct will be one of Wriothesley's more powerful teams.

Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Wriothesley | Cashflow Supervision Marechaussee Hunter x4 Main ATK% / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge 4. Elemental Mastery |
Nicole | Angelos' Heptade Celestial Gift x4 Main Energy Recharge or ATK% / ATK% / ATK% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK% |

Durin | Athame Artis Noblesse Oblige x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% 4. Elemental Mastery |
Prune and Nicole provide direct buffs for Wriothesley while Durin applies Pyro. Using the Dark Decay form for Durin's Burst is better since he can't shred Cryo RES in the White Flame form.
Rotation Of Melt Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Durin and use his Elemental Skill twice |
| 2 | Use Durin's Burst before switching him out. |
| 3 | Switch to Nicole and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 4 | Switch to Prune and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 5 | Switch to Wriothesley and use his Skill. |
| 6 | Start dealing damage with his Normal Attacks and when he gets a red aura, use his Charged Attacks. |
| 7 | Use Wriothesley's Burst before buffs expire. |
| 8 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Nicole | Bennett | - Bennett is a very good ATK buffer, but his healing can interfere with Wriothesley's low HP mechanic. |
| Prune | VentiKazuhaXilonen | - Venti can be used as a replacement for Prune and is also a Hexerei character. - Kazuha can hold the Viridescent Venerer and buff Wriothesley's Cryo DMG. - Xilonen has RES shred and access to the Scroll set. Her healing can interfere with Wriothesley's low HP mechanic. |
| Durin | MavuikaPyro TravelerXiangling | - Mavuika and Pyro Traveler work similarly but Mavuika provides a higher DMG buff. However, she will need a 2nd Natlan character to fully charge her Burst. - Xiangling is a powerful Pyro Sub-DPS that can be used with Wriothesley but she will require Energy funneling due to her high Burst cost. |
When replacing the supports for Wriothesley, have at least one character holding either the Viridescent Venerer, the Scroll set, or Celestial Gift to directly boost his Cryo DMG.
Burn-Melt Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Wriothesley | Cashflow Supervision Marechaussee Hunter x4 Main ATK% / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge 4. Elemental Mastery |
Emilie | Lumidouce Elegy Unfinished Reverie x4 Main ATK% / Dendro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |

Durin | Athame Artis Noblesse Oblige x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% 4. Elemental Mastery |
The Nicole-Durin duo can still provide Wriothesley with an Elemental DMG boost without Prune. Both Emilie and Durin can be built as damage dealers, as both of Durin's Burst forms can boost their respective damage.
Rotation Of Burn-Melt Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Emilie and use her Skill or Burst. |
| 2 | Switch to Durin and use his Skill. |
| 3 | Use his Skill again to buff his Melt DMG, or use his Normal Attack to buff Emilie's DMG. |
| 4 | Use Durin's Burst before switching him out. |
| 5 | Switch to Nicole and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 6 | Switch to Wriothesley and use his Skill. |
| 7 | Start dealing damage with his Normal Attacks and when he gets a red aura, use his Charged Attacks. |
| 8 | Use Wriothesley's Burst before buffs expire. |
| 9 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Emilie | NahidaCollei | - Any off-field Dendro applier can be used. - The Dendro Traveler is not recommended because their Burst disappears when it comes into contact with Pyro. |
| Nicole | Bennett | - Bennett is a very good ATK buffer, but his healing can interfere with Wriothesley's low HP mechanic. |
| Durin | MavuikaPyro Traveler | - Mavuika and the Pyro Traveler both have access to the Scroll set for buffing Wriothesley's Cryo DMG. - While Mavuika can't max her Burst, she can still give a considerable buff to Wriothesley. |
Freeze Team
Team Composition & Equipment
| Character | Weapon Artifacts & Stats |
|---|---|
Wriothesley | Cashflow Supervision Marechaussee Hunter x4 Main ATK% / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge |
Citlali | Starcaller's Watch Scroll Of The Hero Of Cinder City x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery |
Escoffier | Symphonist Of Scents Golden Troupe x4 Main ATK% / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% |
Furina | Splendor Of Tranquil Waters Golden Troupe x4 Main HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. HP% |
Escoffier can be built as a damage dealer instead of a hybrid healer-attacker since Wriothesley has a low HP mechanic for boosting his Charged Attack DMG. Citlali provides additional Hydro RES shred, allowing Furina to deal more damage.
Rotation Of Freeze Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Furina and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 2 | Switch to Escoffier and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 3 | Switch to Citlali and use her Skill then Burst. |
| 4 | Switch to Wriothesley and use his Skill. |
| 5 | Start dealing damage with his Normal Attacks and when he gets a red aura, use his Charged Attacks. |
| 6 | Use Wriothesley's Burst before buffs expire. |
| 7 | Repeat from Step 1. |
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Citlali | ShenheXilonenKazuha | - When replacing Citlali, bring Cryo supports since she doesn't really buff Wriothesley directly aside from providing a shield for Interruption Resistance. - If Escoffier is removed, you can replace Citlali for a dedicated shred support. |
| Escoffier | KokomiDiona | - When replacing Escoffier, bring a healer who can help alleviate some of Furina's HP drain since both Furina and Wriothesley himself will greatly lower his HP. - If Citlali is still used, bring Kokomi instead for Hydro Resonance to buff Furina's damage. - If Citlali isn't used and the RES shred support doesn't provide a shield, use Diona instead. |
| Furina | YelanXingqiu | - Yelan and Xingqiu are good Hydro Sub-DPS alternatives to Furina. - Yelan provides a DMG buff while Xingqiu provides defensive buffs. |
If Escoffier is removed from the party, you can choose non-Cryo/Hydro supports for Wriothesley since the Elemental restriction isn't there anymore.
