Overview
Wriothesley enters Chilling Penalty state through his skill, enhancing normal attacks with Cryo damage and self-healing. He wants to stay above 50% HP for bonus damage from ascension. Marechaussee Hunter triggers on HP changes from his skill. Build ATK% and CRIT.
How to Play
Cast skill to enter Chilling Penalty, then spam enhanced normal attacks. Use charged attack (Repelling Fist) at 5 attack stacks for bonus damage. Burst for AoE Cryo damage and HP consumption. Wriothesley stays on-field for extended periods, provide Zhongli shield or rely on self-heal.
Optimal Rotation
Furina Skill/Burst, Kazuha Swirl, Zhongli Skill, Wriothesley Skill, Wriothesley NA combo, Wriothesley Charged Attack, Wriothesley Burst, continue NA. Maintain Furina buff throughout on-field window.
F2P Options
Solar Pearl or The Widsith work well. Marechaussee Hunter is farmable in Fontaine. C0 Wriothesley is strong with Furina, his best support. Blizzard Strayer works in Freeze teams without Marechaussee.
Common Mistakes
Dropping below 50% HP loses ascension damage bonus. Not using charged attack at 5 stacks wastes Repelling Fist damage. Swapping off-field during Chilling Penalty wastes skill duration. Building HP% sands over ATK%, HP scaling is from substats, not sands.
