Wriothesley is a 5-star Cryo Catalyst character who excels as a Main DPS. His kit allows him to deal consistent Cryo damage through rapid melee attacks, making him a powerful option in both Elemental Reaction-based and Mono Cryo teams. Wriothesley thrives in various team compositions, maximising his damage potential through strategic synergies.
How Wriothesley Helps:
- Cryo Application: Wriothesley’s Normal and Charged Attacks consistently apply Cryo, enabling strong reactions such as Melt and Freeze.
- Self-Sustain: His abilities allow him to heal himself while attacking, reducing reliance on dedicated healers.
- High Sustained DPS: Wriothesley’s rapid Cryo-infused melee attacks make him a strong sustained DPS character, excelling in both single-target and AoE combat.
Melt
Cryo + Pyro
Melt teams utilise Wriothesley’s Cryo application alongside Pyro teammates to trigger the Melt reaction for amplified damage. His high attack speed ensures frequent Cryo application, allowing Pyro characters to trigger powerful Melt reactions. Below is an example of a Melt team with Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Xiangling as the Sub DPS, Bennett as the Healer, and Zhongli as the Shielder.
Alternate Melt teams could have a composition of:
- Wriothesley - Xiangling - Bennett - Diona
- Wriothesley - Dehya - Nahida - Bennett
Below is an example of a Melt team that includes Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Mavuika as the Sub DPS, and Xilonen and Bennett as the Supports.
Mono Cryo
Cryo + Cryo
Mono Cryo teams focus on maximising Cryo damage while benefiting from Cryo Resonance, which enhances CRIT Rate. These teams often include characters that provide Cryo buffs, resistance shred, or additional Cryo application for synergy. Shielding and healing options can also be included to maintain Wriothesley’s uptime. Below is an example of a Mono Cryo team featuring Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Shenhe and Kazuha as the Sub DPS', and Layla as the Shielder.
Alternate Mono Cryo teams could have a composition of:
- Wriothesley - Shenhe - Rosaria - Diona
- Wriothesley - Shenhe - Kaeya - Xilonen
- Wriothesley - Shenhe - Chiori - Zhongli
Freeze
Cryo + Hydro
Freeze teams take advantage of Wriothesley’s Cryo application combined with Hydro characters to consistently freeze enemies, providing crowd control and increased damage opportunities. Below is an example of a Freeze team featuring Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Yelan and Kazuha as the Sub DPS', and Diona as the Healer.
Alternate Freeze teams could have a composition of:
- Wriothesley - Shenhe - XIngqiu - Kazuha
- Wriothesley - Furina - XIngqiu - Charlotte
Below is an example of a Freeze team that includes Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Furina as the Sub DPS, Citlali as the Shielder, and Kokomi as the Healer.
Burn-Melt
Cryo + Dendro + Pyro
Burn-Melt teams take advantage of the Burning reaction (Dendro + Pyro), allowing Wriothesley to trigger Melt consistently. These teams typically include strong Dendro and Pyro applicators to sustain Burning. Below is an example of a Burn-Melt team featuring Wriothesley as the Main DPS, Emilie and Pyro Traveler as the Sub DPS', and Bennett as the Healer.
Alternate Burn-Melt teams could have a composition of:
- Wriothesley - Emilie - Xiangling - Kazuha
- Wriothesley - Nahida - Thoma - Bennett
