Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Genshin Impact’s Fontaine region updates are continuing full speed with new areas to explore, new stories to experience, and also new characters to add to team rosters. In the second phase ofGenshin Impact’s version 4.1 update,Wriothesleybecomes playable, and unlike Neuvillette, who isanother Catalyst user characterwho focuses on charged attacks from a mid range, he primarily focuses on his normal attacks and close combat, offering an entirely different playstyle.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that Wriothesley issub-par compared to Neuvillette. He has an exceptionally strong kit even without his constellations. As with many other characters, however, Wriothesley becomes even stronger with added constellations, significantly improving both his playstyle and his DPS potential.
Are Wriothesley Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Wriothesley’s constellations vary in effectiveness, with a few being excellent and the rest falling into the mid to low-priority category. Fortunately, his C1 is one of his best constellations, making it a great choice for players looking to maximize Wriothesley’s potential. Additionally, his C6 significantlyboosts his DPS potentialand is highly recommended for those aiming to make the most of this character. As a result, it’s advisable for players to either stop at C1 or go all the way for C6, as anything in between may not be worth the investment of too many resources.
C1 - Terror for the Evildoers
Wriothesley’s first constellation may have a lengthy description, but it’s worth understanding. In simpler terms, when his normal attacks are in the enhanced state, using the skill and then completing his 5-hit combo provides several benefits. It increases the damage of his charged attack and extends the duration of his enhanced state by 4 seconds, but this extension can only occur once during the skill’s duration.
Overall, this constellation significantly boosts the effectiveness of his enhanced charged attacks while reducing their cooldown, which players should be using frequently. More importantly, it minimizes the downtime for Wriothesley, almost aligning the enhanced state’s duration with the skill duration, allowing smoother team rotations and enhancing his hypercarry potential.
C2 - Shackles for the Arrogant
Wriothesley’s primary focus is on his normal attacks, so his Elemental Burst doesn’t play a central role in his kit. It primarily provides additional damage without significantly enhancing Wriothesley’s strength. However, for those interested in boosting the damage of his Elemental Skill, his second constellation becomes a viable option. With maximum Prosecution Edit stacks, this constellation increases the burst’s damage by a significant 200%.
But it’s essential to keep in mind that, for this constellation to be effective, players need to use the burst off cooldown. Achieving this may require investing in energy recharge stats orrelying on more Cryo characterswith energy generation capabilities. This additional reliance on energy management could potentially disadvantage Wriothesley as it adds another consideration and potentially diverts resources from other priority stats or characters.
C4 - Redemption for the Suffering
Wriothesley’s C4 constellation provides a party-wide buff to attack speed, which can be valuable for certain team members, including Wriothesley himself. However, this constellation doesn’t offer sufficient benefits given its position in the constellation order. It also increases the healing capabilities of Wriothesley’s charged attack, however when a team has a dedicated shielder or healer, the team can usually sustain itself, making the resources required for this constellation not entirely worthwhile. In summary, this constellation should only be considered if players are committed to going all the way to C6, as its benefits are not substantial on their own.
C6 - Esteem for the Innocent
Wriothesley’s C6 constellation is similar to manyother strong constellations inGenshin Impact, making it a worthwhile investment. While his first constellation already altered his rotation and playstyle significantly, his final constellation further emphasizes the importance of using charged attacks as frequently as possible, especially considering that his enhanced charged attacks come at no stamina cost. With this in mind, players should aim to utilize charged attacks approximately every 2.5 seconds when possible, significantly increasing Wriothesley’s damage output as a hyper carry due to the added Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and the additional icicle produced with each charged attack.
