Artifacts Sets :
.
♦️ Important point to consider before giving artifacts :
- If you have another cryo charater in the party, u get +15% crit rate via cryo resonance.
- Wrio is a Main Dps Carry type unit, so balance energy recharge according to your needs.
- Wrio scales off of HP, so this guide focuses on HP | Cryo Dmg/HP | Crit dmg setup in timepiece | goblet | headpiece respectively.
- For artifact sets and weapons i've included a [rating] marked by [⭐] at the end of each. More stars = better
- Marechausse Hunter : Arguably his BiS artifact set, if you dont wanna lose any damage while maximising Wriothesley's passive. Gives upto 36% free crit rate when character current HP value changes and he loses hp when performing his normal attack Combo. Avoid getting more than 70% crit rate when farming or else you might "overcrit" leading to potential dps loss. [Set rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Blizzard Strayer : Best artifact set for any Cryo dps carry. Allows you to build freely without worrying about Crit Rate when you have a good hydro enabler on your party (Xingqiu/Yelan/kokomi). Set allows you to have upto 40% free crit rate when target is frozen. jus as the one before, avoid getting crit rate pieces here as well. [Set rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Shimenawa's Reminiscence : A great dps Set that trades Elemental Burst for Damage, while the 2pc effect doesnt affect much of Wrio's kit, the 4pc effect gives upto 50% additional dmg on NA / CA and Plunge attacks(if u are into plunge playstyle). This set will provide roughly 8 - 9% higher damage if not similar to Mare Hunter set. However u wont be able to use his burst reliably often. sugguest investing to his Elemental Burst talent last if going for this set. [Set rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
Other 2 piece combinations :
- 2pc Tenacity + 2Pc Vourukasha's Glow : Best among the 2pc variations! if you can balance crits and ER. and a reliably good weapon. [Set rating : ⭐⭐⭐]
- 2pc Tenacity + 2pc Blizzard Strayer : Works at low AR While you work till the sets mentioned above. [Set rating : ⭐⭐]
- 2pc Noblesse + 2pc Blizzard : Works at low investments, and also adds burst damage. [Set rating ⭐⭐]
Weapons (5 stars) :
- Cashflow Supervision : His Bis Weapon if you can get it. It gives a huge Dmg boost to Normal attacks & Charged attacks when current HP value changes(i.e increases or decreases). A weapon perfectly tailored for him. [Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Tome of the Eternal Flow : Gives a HP boost, and increases Charges atk dmg when HP increases or decreases. Originally made for Neuviellte but is a good alternative especially bcoz it gives a lot of free crit dmg. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Tulaytullah's Remembrance : Adds a lot of Crit damage and increases normal attack speed and damage, a very good choice since Wriothesley can use the entire weapon's passive to full effect. [Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Jadefall's Splendor : If u have this weapon lying in your account, it works significantly well on Wriothesley however might still be slightly better/worse than the 4 star weapons further down the list. Despite giving ALOT of HP, It also adds Elemental burst damage , ER and increases Elemental Dmg bonus depending on how much HP the wielder has, all things that Wriothesley needs. [Rating ⭐⭐⭐]
- Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds : Best weapon among the 5 stars on this list bcoz its obtainable from the standard banner and even obtainable for F2Ps. Aside from the large amount of crit rate that its substat provides, it will significantly increase Wriothesley's Cryo dmg bonus the longer he stays on field. also gives some movement speed increase. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Skyard Atlas : Included in this list coz its a weapon from the standard banner and many F2Ps will have it, while the massive ATK% substat doesnt do much for Wriothesley, this weapon provides upto 12% additional Elemental dmg bonus and makes him generally hit harder. Note : the weapon launches physical attacks that may shatter frozen opponents and mess up some reactions. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
Weapons (4 stars) :
- Solar Pearl / Sacrificial Jade : Both great weapons providing upto 33% crit rate makes it significantly easy to build, Their only downside is that they are locked behind the battle pass. In case of Sacrificial Jade make sure not to keep Wriothesley on field for more than 10 secs as to not lose the additional gained HP. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Ballad of the Boundless Blue : Best F2P weapon on this list by far!! Its availible in the Event "Waterborne Poetry", Play the event to get it and its refinement mats upto R5, this is good as event weapons do not come back. It adds NA and CA damage by a lot and its substat gives ER which is appreciated by both Wriothesley & Neuvillete. Its R5 variant competes closely with R1 Cashflow supervision!! [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐]
- Dodoco Tales : if you managed to get this Weapon back in version 1.6 (Midsummer Island Adventure), its a great choice for Wriothesley as when NA hits enemies it increases CA dmg and when CA hits enemies it increases ATK%, while Wriothesley doesnt gain much from ATK% its still a great weapon to give if you have it at R5. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐]
- Prototype Amber : The only Completley F2P weapon on this list with a HP% substat. It can be crafted from the Monstadt blacksmith and has a decent passive that can support the whole team on higher refinements. It works perfectly for Wriothesley however, falls short if you have any of the other mentioned 4 stars on this list. Its easy accessebility and the fact that its free, makes it a top contender nevertheless. [Rating : ⭐⭐]
Honorable Mention (Weapons) :
- Kagura's Varity : Its a great Crit Damage Statstick and has a lot of base attack, however Wriothesley cannot utilize the weapon's passive to full effect. A great choice regardless.
- Flowing Purity : Its obtainable from Fontaine Blacksmith, its passives allows it to be a great f2p alternative but its difficult to suggest considering the other 4 stars listed above. Its "Bond of life" mechanic is something that you need to learn to play around and makes it necessary to carry a healer on the team (preferably kokomi). [Rating : ⭐⭐]
- Widsith : i didnt include this here coz Wrio doesnt benefit from the ATK% or EM boost that it gives, so u have a 1/3 chance of getting the Elemental dmg boost that u require. Nevertheless, you can go for it as a Crit dmg statstick. [Rating : ⭐⭐⭐]
