Wriothesley Best Build & Stat Priority

Role: DPS

Wriothesley is 5-star Cryo Catalyst user in Genshin Impact that best serves as a Stellar-Conduct DPS. Ascending Wriothesley grants bonus CRIT DMG, complementing a stat priority of CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK%. For the Stellar-Conduct DPS setup, equip Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (Thorny Crown of the Mountain Wind) with ATK% Sands, Cryo DMG Bonus Goblet, and CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate Circlet. Cashflow Supervision (CRIT Rate) is the top recommended weapon, while The Widsith serves as a reliable accessible alternative.

With his Stellar-Conduct Build, Wriothesley now uses the new Disenchantment in Deep Shadow Stellar-Conduct-specific artifact set instead of Marechaussee Hunter, alongside his signature Cashflow Supervision. He can still make use of Marechaussee, but only if he is not in a Stellar-Conduct team.
