Fontaine's very own journalist, Charlotte, is a familiar face within the Genshin Impact community. After the 4.2 update went live, players were able to get her as a playable unit in the roster, as a Cryo Catalyst wielder. While her kit leans more towards a supporting approach, there are multiple roles she can fill based on the weapons and artifacts equipped on her.

This article will guide you through the basics of Charlotte, including the best artifacts and weapons based on the roles she can play. It is important to take note of her abilities beforehand, as the gear pieces mentioned here are according to her kit.

Disclaimer: This article is subjective and relies solely on the writer's opinion. Readers are recommended to have prior knowledge of Charlotte's abilities, as this article only focuses on her best artifacts and weapons.


Best artifacts for Charlotte in Genshin Impact

Since Charlotte's kit encourages her to become a primary healer in the team, it is important to explore the artifacts and weapons suited for that role.

Pairing Charlotte with three other Fontaine residents can grant her a 15% healing bonus. Some of the best artifact sets to have include:

  • Two-piece Maiden Beloved and two-piece Gladiator's Finale. ATK% priority.
  • Four-piece Maiden Beloved. ATK% priority.
  • Two-piece Emblem of Severed Fate and two-piece Gladiator's Finale. ER and ATK% hybrid.

On the other hand, pairing Charlotte with three non-residents of Fontaine increases her Cryo damage by 15%, leading players to invest in her for a hypercarry approach. Charlotte's healing can be scaled off ATK stat, with the only requirements being crit rate and damage.

Here is a list of artifacts suited for a more DPS approach on Charlotte, granted she has a high crit rate and crit damage:

  • Four-piece Retracing Bolide with a shielder in a team.
  • Four-piece Golden Troupe for off-field DPS.

The stats should be a Cryo damage bonus for the goblet, ATK%, alongside Crit rate and damage on the headpiece, based on your lower stat and weapon.
