Wriothesley Basic Information and Statistics

Raised by the criminal group Crux after being orphaned, Wriothesley earned his freedom by getting rid of those who had abused him for as long as he could remember. After that, he rose through the ranks of the organization until he became the Duke of Meopide Fortress , and unlike his predecessors, and despite his reserved and serious nature, he cares for those under his responsibility and also acts as a silent and shadowy guardian of the nation of Fontaine ; something that allowed him to join the Traveler’s group to continue watching over those who matter to him.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts in Genshin Impact are used to enhance a character’s stats , which are key to maximizing their performance in combat. Each character can equip up to five artifacts , which provide both individual and set bonuses. They boost attributes such as Attack, Health, Stamina, and Critical Damage, and combining two or four pieces from the same set activates special effects that further enhance the character’s playstyle.

Ghost Hunter	★★★★★	2-PC: Normal and Charged Attack Damage +15%. 4-PC: When the character’s Life increases or decreases, the CRIT Chance increases by 12%. This effect lasts 5 seconds and can stack up to 3 times.

This effect cannot be activated more than once at a time.

Best Weapons

Wriothesley uses catalysts as a weapon, and these are the ones he should always try to have on hand. Auricflux Overseer and Tulaytullah’s Reminiscence share almost identical damage outputs, although the less “mechanical” and safer option is the latter. As a complement, Marauders’ Symphony adds an interesting option and should be the one we keep until we acquire one of the other two.
