Genshin Impact Wriothesley is a new character in 2023 and has been promoted or featured with a drop-rate boost in 1 Event Wish: Tempestuous Destiny from 2023-10-17 to 2023-11-7.
Players can obtain him in the game in the wish events along with other three Genshin Impact characters: Chongyun, Thoma, and Dori.
Normal Attack
Coalescing frost about his fist, Wriothesley will unleash powerful Repelling Fists, performing up to 5 rapid attacks that deal Cryo DMG.
Apart from this, Normal Attack combo count will not reset for a short time after using Icefang Rush or sprinting.
Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to leap and unleash a Vaulting Fist, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon impact.
Adjusting his breathing, rhythm, and pace, Wriothesley sprints forward a short distance, entering the Chilling Penalty state and unleashing more powerful attacks than before.
Chilling Penalty
This effect will be canceled should Wriothesley leave the field.
Activating his boxing gloves, Wriothesley strikes out with an icy straight, then uses Icicle Impact to cause multiple instances of AoE Cryo DMG in a frontal area.
Arkhe: Ousia
After Icicle Impact ends, a Surging Blade will descend upon the opponent’s position, dealing Ousia-aligned Cryo DMG.
When Wriothesley’s HP is less than 60%, he will obtain a Gracious Rebuke. The next Charged Attack of his Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost will be enhanced to become Rebuke: Vaulting Fist. It will not consume Stamina, will deal 50% increased DMG, and after hitting will restore HP for Wriothesley equal to 30% of his Max HP.
You can gain a Gracious Rebuke this way once every 5s.
When Wriothesley’s current HP increases or decreases, if he is in the Chilling Penalty state conferred by Icefang Rush, Chilling Penalty will gain one stack of Prosecution Edict. Max 5 stacks. Each stack will increase Wriothesley’s ATK by 6%.
When Wriothesley crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product.
The Gracious Rebuke from the Passive Talent “There Shall Be a Plea for Justice” is changed to this:
When Wriothesley’s HP is less than 60% or while he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by Icefang Rush, when the fifth attack of Repelling Fists hits, it will create a Gracious Rebuke. 1 Gracious Rebuke effect can be obtained every 2.5s.
Additionally, Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will obtain the following enhancement:
You must first unlock the Passive Talent “There Shall Be a Plea for Justice.”
When using Darkgold Wolfbite, each Prosecution Edict stack from the Passive Talent “There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin” will increase said ability’s DMG dealt by 40%.

The HP restored to Wriothesley through Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will be increased to 50% of his Max HP. You must first unlock the Passive Talent “There Shall Be a Plea for Justice.”
Additionally, when Wriothesley is healed, if the amount of healing overflows, the following effects will occur depending on whether he is on the field or not. If he is on the field, his ATK SPD will be increased by 20% for 4s. If he is off-field, all of your own party members’ ATK SPD will be increased by 10% for 6s. These two methods of increasing ATK SPD cannot stack.

The best weapons for Genshin Impact Wriothesley are straightforward: the most offensive Catalyst possible.
Ideally, this will have lots of CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG as one of its stats. Keep in mind that his best Artifact Set will give up to 36% CRIT Rate, and CRIT Rate doesn’t provide any further benefit after 100%, so it might be better,, depending on your build, to choose a CRIT DMG weapon.
Base ATK 674 | HP 49.6%
(10.8%)
Golden Blood-Tide
ATK is increased by 16~32%. When current HP increases or decreases, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 16~32% and Charged Attack DMG will be increased by 14~28% for 4s. Max 3 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.3s. When the wielder has 3 stacks, ATK SPD will be increased by 8~16%.
Base ATK 674 | CRIT DMG 44.1% (9.6%)
Bygone Azure Teardrop
Normal Attack SPD is increased by 10~20%. After the wielder unleashes an Elemental Skill, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 4.8~9.6% every second for 14s. After this character hits an opponent with a Normal Attack during this duration, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 9.6~19.2%. This increase can be triggered once every 0.3s. The maximum Normal Attack DMG increase per single duration of the overall effect is 48~96%. The effect will be removed when the wielder leaves the field, and using the Elemental Skill again will reset all DMG buffs.
Base ATK 542 | Elemental Mastery 265 (58)
A Thousand Nights’ Dawnsong
Party members other than the equipping character will provide the equipping character with buffs based on whether their Elemental Type is the same as the latter or not. If their Elemental Types are the same, increase Elemental Mastery by 32~64. If not, increase the equipping character’s DMG Bonus from their Elemental Type by 10~26%. Each of the aforementioned effects can have up to 3 stacks. Additionally, all nearby party members other than the equipping character will have their Elemental Mastery increased by 40~48. Multiple such effects from multiple such weapons can stack.

Unfinished Masterpiece
When using an Elemental Skill, All Elemental DMG Bonus will be increased by 8~16% for 15s, and a Bond of Life worth 24% of Max HP will be granted. This effect can be triggered once every 10s. When the Bond Of Life is cleared, every 1,000 HP cleared in the process will provide 2~4% All Elemental DMG Bonus, up to a maximum of 12~24%. This effect lasts 15s.
There are a few main viable artifact sets for Genshin Impact Wriothesley, but there is really only one all-purpose choice: Marechaussee Hunter, which boosts Normal and Charged Attack DMG while granting 12% CRIT Rate every time their HP changes, up to a total of 36% with a 4pc set.
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence, which buffs Normal and Charged Attack damage at the cost of energy will essentially make his Burst completely unusable, which is especially bad after Constellations. The 4pc Blizzard Strayer set adds 40% CRIT Rate on paper, but really only works when enemies are constantly frozen.
