The Duke of Meropide, Wriothesley, is an upcoming DPS in Genshin Impact who wields the Cryo element. Despite being a Catalyst user, he boasts a rather unique repertoire and uses his fists to essentially punch enemies with Cryo infusion, similar to Shikanoin Heizou.

Similar to most DPS units, Wriothesley's damage scales off his Attack. His Normal Attacks are the main focus of his kit, while his Elemental Skill buffs them. Upon using his Skill, the following Normal Attacks will deal increased damage while depleting his HP.

Wriothesley is also able to recover a portion of his HP by using a special type of Charged Attack, which comes as a benefit of one of his passive talents. Therefore, his Talent priorities are:

Normal Attacks > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst

For Main stats on his artifacts, players should select:

Sands	Goblet	Circlet
ATK%	Cryo DMG Bonus	Crit Rate/Crit DMG

As for the Substats, these should be prioritized:

• Crit Rate/Crit DMG
• ATK%
• Energy Recharge
• Elemental Mastery

By focusing on the stats, you will have a well-rounded build for your Wriothesley.
