Continuing at full speed, Genshin Impact's Fontaine region updates unveil new areas to explore, fresh stories to experience, and additional characters to enhance team rosters. In the second phase of Genshin Impact's 4.1 update, players gain access to Wriothesley as a playable character. Unlike Neuvillette, another catalyst user focusing on charged attacks from a mid range, Wriothesley's playstyle centers around his normal attacks and close combat, providing a completely different approach.
Are Wriothesley Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
However, that doesn't imply that Wriothesley is inferior to Neuvillette. His kit is remarkably powerful, even without his constellations. Similar to numerous other characters, Wriothesley's abilities are further enhanced with added constellations, significantly augmenting both his playstyle and his potential for dealing damage.
Wriothesley possesses a range of constellations that vary in effectiveness, with a select few standing out as exceptional choices while the majority fall into the moderate to lower priority category. Notably, his C1 stands among his most outstanding constellations and should be the go-to option for players seeking to optimize Wriothesley's potential. Furthermore, his C6 offers a significant boost to his overall DPS capabilities and comes highly recommended for those aiming to fully utilize this character's prowess. Consequently, players are advised to either stop at C1 or commit to reaching C6, as any investments made in between might not warrant the excessive allocation of resources.
C1 - Terror for the Evildoers
Effect: The passive talent "There Shall Be a Plea for Justice" has been altered to trigger the Gracious Rebuke under the following conditions: when Wriothesley's HP drops below 60% or when he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by Icefang Rush, and when the fifth attack of Repelling Fists successfully lands. Each Gracious Rebuke can be obtained every 2.5 seconds. In addition, the Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will gain the following enhancements:
-The damage bonus will be further increased to 200%.
-If it hits Wriothesley while he is in the Chilling Penalty state, the state's duration will be extended by 4 seconds. This extension can occur once per each Chilling Penalty duration.
Importance: Priority
Wriothesley's initial constellation may have a long description, but it is crucial to comprehend it. To simplify, when his regular attacks are in an improved state, using the skill and then completing a 5-hit combo offers several advantages. It amplifies the damage of his charged attack and prolongs the duration of his improved state by 4 seconds. However, this extension can only occur once during the skill's duration.
Overall, this constellation greatly enhances the effectiveness of his improved charged attacks by decreasing their cooldown. Players should utilize them frequently. Furthermore, it reduces the downtime for Wriothesley, nearly aligning the improved state's duration with the skill duration. This allows for smoother team rotations and enhances his potential as a hypercarry.
C2 - Shackles for the Arrogant
Effect: 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%.
Importance: Medium
Wriothesley's primary focus is his normal attacks, so his Elemental Burst doesn't have a central role in his kit. It mainly provides extra damage without greatly improving Wriothesley's power. However, for players looking to boost the damage of his Elemental Skill, his second constellation can be a good choice. With maximum Prosecution Edit stacks, this constellation increases the burst's damage by a significant 200%.
However, it is important to note that to make this constellation effective, players need to use the burst whenever it is available. Achieving this may require investing in energy recharge stats or relying on more Cryo characters with energy generation abilities. This increased reliance on managing energy could potentially put Wriothesley at a disadvantage as it adds another factor to consider and may take resources away from other important stats or characters.
C4 - Redemption for the Suffering
Effect: The amount of HP restored to Wriothesley with Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will be boosted to 50% of his maximum HP. Additionally, when Wriothesley receives healing that exceeds his maximum HP, different effects will be triggered depending on whether he is on the field or not. If he is on the field, his ATK SPD will be enhanced by 20% for 4 seconds. If he is off-field, all members of your party will have their ATK SPD increased by 10% for 6 seconds. Please note that these two methods of boosting ATK SPD cannot be applied simultaneously.
Importance: Low
C6 - Esteem for the Innocent
Despite offering a party-wide attack speed buff, Wriothesley's C4 constellation falls short in terms of its position in the constellation order. While it does enhance the healing capabilities of Wriothesley's charged attack, it may not be worth the resources invested if a team already has a dedicated shielder or healer who can sustain the team adequately. In essence, this constellation's benefits are only truly significant when combined with the full C6 constellation, making it a consideration for committed players.
The Rebuke: Vaulting Fist ability gains a 10% increase in CRIT Rate and an 80% increase in CRIT DMG. Additionally, when activated, it generates an extra icicle that inflicts Cryo DMG equivalent to 100% of the Rebuke: Vaulting Fist's Base DMG. The damage inflicted by the icicle is considered as Charged Attack DMG.
Wriothesley's C6 constellation is comparable to other powerful constellations in Genshin Impact, making it a valuable investment. His first constellation already made significant changes to his rotation and playstyle, but his final constellation emphasizes the importance of using charged attacks frequently, especially since they no longer consume stamina. Keeping this in mind, players should strive to use charged attacks every 2.5 seconds when possible. This will greatly enhance Wriothesley's damage output as a hyper carry, thanks to the additional Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and the extra icicle generated with each charged attack.
