Administrator and enforcer of the Fortress of Meropide, Wriothesley, is a strong enough person to keep the prisoners in order. This is not to say that Wriothesley is ruthless, cynical, or aloof. In fact, he is someone who actually cares enough about the fundamental rights of the criminals in his care to change long-standing prison laws. Wriothesley is a 5-star Cryo catalyst user, although his primary weapon is his mechanical combat gauntlets. Here is the best build and team comp for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact.
The Best Build for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact
Wriothesley’s most significant damage comes from his Normal Attacks. This frees him from doing Elemental Reactions with his Elemental Skill or Burst. But using his Elemental Attacks will create different types of Elemental Reactions. Using Wriothesley’s strategy is ideal for fighting larger bosses or enemies. Fighting smaller groups can be tricky unless you have another team member with crowd control to prevent scattering.
Best Weapons for Wriothesley
In Genshin Impact, Wriothesley is best played with a build and team comp where he is the Main DPS. So his best weapon should benefit his Normal Attack and Charged Attack, which generate the most damage from Wriothesley. These are the best choices of catalysts:
- Cashflow Supervision
- Tulaytullah’s Remembrance
- The Widsith
- Flowing Purity
- Dodoco Tales
Best Artifacts for Wriothesley
The best way to use Wriothesley’s abilities is to focus on increasing his Normal Attack damage. Also, increasing his Cryo DMG stats is a good option since Wriothesley applies Cryo with every hit. These are the best artifact options for Wriothesley:
- Marechaussee Hunter
- 2 Pieces: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15%.
- 4 Pieces: When current HP increases or decreases, the CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.
- Blizzard Strayer
- 2 Pieces: Cryo DMG Bonus +15%.
- 4 Pieces: When a character attacks an enemy affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate increases by 20%. If the enemy is Frozen, the CRIT Rate increases by 20%.
- Echoes of an Offering
- 2 Pieces: ATK +18%.
- 4 Pieces: When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance it will trigger Valley Rite, increasing Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s.
Best Team Comp for Wriothesley
As mentioned, Wriothesley is best used as a Main DPS, so it is best to buff his attacks. This character sacrifices his life and then recovers when it drops really low. He doesn’t need a healer, but having a Shielder is best. These are the best team comps for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact:

- Main DPS: Wriothesley

In general, Wriothesley is a character that works well with different builds and theme comps in Genshin Impact. Wriothesley already generates a lot of damage on his own. But being a Cryo catalyst user allows you to create Elemental Reactions with other team members.
It is a versatile character that works with several characters, including 4-stars. It also has several options for weapons, even working with Ballad of the Boundless Blue. This weapon was introduced in the Waterborne Poetry event during Genshin Impact 4.1.
