Wriothesley Genshin Impact: Best Builds and Weapons

Oct. 3, 2023

Although the Fortress itself is a sight to behold, the Duke Wriothesley is a fascinating character and someone you don’t want to mess with. Wriothesley, the manager of the Fortress and a friend ofNeuvilette’sis a Cryocharacter of Fontaineand a Catalyst with a unique fighting style. In this guide, let’s look at the best builds for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact, including some of his best weapon options.

Best Wriothesley Builds

The best way to build Wriothesley is by using the 4-piece Marechaussee Hunter artifact set combined with his signature weapon, Cashflow Supervision. Since Wriothesley sacrifices his HP for an attack boost and gains HP using charged attacks, Marachaussee Hunter is tailor-made for Wriothesley. Cashflow Supervision takes care of Wriothesley’s Crit Rate requirements and increases Attack Damage and Speed, whereas Maracheussee Hunter increases both his Normal and Charged Attack and Crit Rate as he loses or gains HP. This combination is easily one of the best builds for Wriothesley.

For Wriothesley, you need to stack up as much Crit Rate and Damage as possible since most of his damage comes from just raw Crit stats and the Attack% sub-stats. Prioritize Attack percentage on the Sands and sub-stats with Crit Rate and Crit Damage, balance the crit Ratio, and have at least 60% Crit Rate and 220%+ Crit Damage.

Both Marechaussee Hunter and Blizzard Strayer should help you with the Crit Rate and you can solely focus on increasing his Crit Damage. However, if you don’t have good Blizzard and Marechaussee artifacts, you could pair him with Nymph’s Dream and Shimenawa’s for increased Normal and Charged attack damage. As for the stats’ importance: Crit Damage≡Crit Rate > ATK%.

Wriothesly was last available in Genshin Impact 4.1 on October 17. We do not have info about his re-run since there are lots of five-stars that are currently in the queue that haven’t had their re-runs in years. However, it’s safe to assume that he may re-run during Natlan’s story quest.

Genshin Impact 4.3is almost upon us and if you’ve already pulled for Furina and were successful in obtaining her, the Wriothesley-Furina eternal freeze combo will definitely help you conquer the Abyss.
