Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
ManyGenshin Impactplayers longed for a Catalyst character with a Cryo Vision before Wriothesley arrives in version 4.1. However, while the warden of the Fortress of Meropide inGenshin Impactuses this weapon to enhance his stat, he mainly uses his fist to deal damage in combat.
Wriothesley relies on Normal Attack to deal damage, and Charged Attack to keep him alive on the battlefield. Here are some of thebest Wriothesley weapons inGenshin Impactthat players can consider if they got the Duke from his limited banner.
Ballad of the Boundless Blue is a freeCatalyst fromGenshin Impact4.1 Waterborne Poetry Event. It increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG, and the Energy Recharge sub-stat is pretty good too since Wriothesley deals decent damage with his Elemental Burst.
7Frostbearer
Frostbearer has existed for almost as long asGenshin Impactitself, but it’s forgotten as no Catalyst character was able to use it. Now that a Cryo Catalyst is available, thisforgeable weapon inGenshin Impactcan finally see some light. However, there are some things people need to consider before getting this weapon for the prison warden, like:
So the more enemies there are in the AoE when the Everfrost Icicle drops, the better this Catalyst will do. This means Wriothesley should only use Frostbearer ifhe’s fighting a horde of enemies and there’s a Crowd Control to group them together.
6Eye of Perception
Eye of Perception is surprisingly good for Wriothesley, especially when he’s fighting a group of enemies. Similar to Frostbearer, if he’s fighting a horde of monsters while holding R5 Eye of Perception, his damage can outperform Tulaytullah’s Remembrance, but will still be under Cashflow Supervision. Unlike Frostbearer, though, the damage from Eye of Perception can bounce to enemies outside the initial AoE, so it’s slightly more reliable.
However, in a single-target case, R5 Eye of Perception performs below other options like R5 Ballad of the Boundless Blue, soplayers should only use this Catalyst if they’re fighting a group of enemies.
5Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is often shrugged off since its passivedemands the wielder to stay on-field, but since Wriothesley does just that, he can fare well with this Catalyst.
Unlike ATK-granting weapons that suffer when ATK buffers are involved in the team, Lost Prayer doesn’t face this issue and can often surpass Memory of Dust and Skyward Atlas in these situations. However, even though that’d be the case with Wriothesley, the Crit Rate sub-stat may end up being too much, so players should focus on getting Crit DMG on their Artifacts if they wish to use this Catalyst.
4Memory of Dust
Memory of Dust is very situational, and it requires building up, but at full-stack with aGenshin Impactshielder, Wriothesley can greatly benefit from this weapon. However, keep in mind that too much ATK may lead to a diminishing return if players decide to bring ATK buffers like Bennett into the team.
3Skyward Atlas
Skyward Atlas is slightly better than Memory of Dust because it gives Elemental DMG Bonus on its passive and the occasional damage can stack up nicely. However, similar to Memory of Dust, this Catalyst can face a diminishing return when there are other sources of ATK.
2Tulaytullah’s Remembrance
Wanderer’s best weapon inGenshin Impact, Tulaytullah’s Remembrance, is surprisingly excellent for Wriothesley. Besides the high base ATK and Crit DMG boost, it enhances Normal Attack SPD, perfect for a unit that relies on Normal Attack like the Duke. Additionally, Wriothesley must use his Elemental Skill as it enhances his Normal Attack DMG, so the next passive also fits like a glove for him.
1Cashflow Supervision
Cashflow Supervision has a high base ATK like Tulaytullah’s Remembrance, but it has a Crit Rate sub-stat instead of Crit DMG. With this Catalyst, Wriothesley will have a basic stat of 27.1% Crit Rate, which means players will only need a little more Crit Rate from Artifact sub-stats if they’re usingfour-piece Blizzard Strayeror four-piece Marechaussee Hunter.
