Genshin Impact introduced the next line of the Fontaine playable character, Wriothesley, a 5-Star Cryo Catalyst character that is now available in Version 4.1. To briefly summarize Wriothesley’s kit and play style, he is a Normal Attack on-field DPS character who specializes in dishing out a high amount of Cryo damage when he uses his Elemental Skill. In this Genshin Impact guide, we will be focusing on the best weapons for Wriothesley to use in the game.
His kit acts similar to Wanderer once you enter your Elemental Skill mode and deal increased damage from your basic attacks. As such, his build will entirely depend on how you want to play him out but generally, you should look out for stats that provide ATK, Crit, and maybe EM. Wriothesley has a variety of weapons options to choose from that are viable to use.

The Passive provides NA Speed, boosts NA attack after using Elemental Skill and buffs NA even more when an enemy is hit. |
 Skyward Atlas | Base ATK: 674 ATK: 33.1% | The sub-stat increases his crit dmg and naturally, you will have no problem stacking crit dmg anymore since his ascension provides plenty.
