Genshin Impact Version 4.1 debuts “Emissary of Solitary Iniquity” Wriothesley (cryo/catalyst), a 5* Cryo DPS from Fontaine. This guide will provide a detailed breakdown of the different team compositions for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact.
Best Team Compositions for Wriothesley in Genshin Impact
Mono Cryo
| Wriothesley | Shenhe | Diona | Kazuha |
| Cryo main DPS | DMG buff/Cryo battery | Healer/Shielder | Elemental RES shred/Elemental DMG bonus/grouping |
This team is primarily focused on enhancing Wriothesley’s damage to the greatest extent achievable. Shenhe serves as Wriothesley’s cryo battery while also enhancing his regular strikes, elemental skill, and elemental burst damage. When necessary, Diona will offer essential healing and protection. Finally, Kazuha will shred the enemies’ Cryo RES while simultaneously boosting Cryo DMG.
Reverse Melt
| Wriothesley | Bennett | Xiangling | Shenhe |
| Cryo main DPS | Healer/Pyro battery | Pyro sub-DPS/Melt enabler | DMG buff/Cryo battery |
When partnered with Cryo and Pyro support in a team like this, Wriothesley will be melting a lot of his various hits. You may run him with Pyro characters like Bennett and Xiangling. Being a great healer option, Bennett is typically the best for applying lots of pyro and healing as a bonus.
For another character, you can run Xiangling, who will deal lots of damage and let your Wriothesley melt a few of his hits, as well as having a ton of attack %. Shenhe is an excellent inclusion as the team’s final member because she is widely regarded as the finest cryo crowd control character and has good synergy with Wriothesley, even boosting his cryo damage.
Melt
| Wriothesley | Bennett/Xiangling | Kazuha/Sucrose | Shenhe/Diona |
| Cryo main DPS | Healer(Bennett)/Melt enabler | Elemental RES shred/Elemental DMG bonus/grouping | DMG buff(Shenhe)/Cryo battery/Healer(Diona)/Shielder(Diona) |
This team is the general melt team, where the primary damage is provided by the melt reaction brought on by using pyro on enemies that have received cryo damage or vice versa. In this case, Wriothesley serves as a Cryo DPS. Depending on whether you desire a damage buff or an increase in durability, either Bennett or Diona should come in as your healer and support.
Sucrose or Kazuha can take the position directly after that. Anyone of these two will work to degrade the enemy’ Cryo RES while also increasing Cryo DMG with Swirl. Depending on whether you choose Bennett or Diona earlier for the team, the final position can either go to Shenhe or Xiangling.
Freeze
Wriothesley will be able to deal a ton of damage when he teams up with Yelan and Xingqiu, especially single-target damage thanks to Xingqiu’s and Yelan’s abilities like Depth-Clarion Dice and Guhua Sword: Raincutter.
| Wriothesley | Yelan | Xingqiu | Mika |
| Cryo main DPS | DMG buff/Hydro application | Hydro battery/Hydro application | Healer/ATK Spd buff |
Any type of healer or buffer would be good for the final position. Still, I think Mika fits the bill here as the final team member because he can grant you access to the cryo resonance and, in addition to being a healer, Mika also grants you some attack speed, which will allow you to deal more damage by attacking more quickly.
Fridge
With Blooms serving as the primary damage source, Fridge is essentially deploying a freeze team with a Dendro unit. The objective of Wriothesley in this team is to apply Cryo on foes, who will subsequently be frozen by either Yelan or Xingqiu, depending on your pick, who then use Hydro on the enemy. The foes can then be gathered together by Sucrose or Kazuha using their skill, which also lowers the enemies’ elemental RES.
| Wriothesley | Yelan/Xingqiu | Kazuha/Sucrose | Nahida/Dendro Traveler |
| Cryo main DPS | DMG buff/Hydro application | Elemental RES shred/Elemental DMG bonus/grouping | Dendro application/ Bloom Enabler |
Then Nahida or the Dendro Traveler can use their skill to apply Dendro to the battlefield, causing the foes to freeze as a result of the Cryo + Hydro reaction and enabling Bloom as a result of Hydro + Dendro. Additionally, the abilities of Kazuha or Sucrose will keep the opponents grouped so that this strategy may annihilate them.
