Introducing the first playable Cryo Vision character in Genshin Impact equipped with a catalyst, Wriothesley is a unique and engaging figure. As the Administrator of the Fortress of Meropide, which serves as Fontaine’s main prison, he brings an intriguing playstyle to the game.

Wriothesley’s combat style is somewhat akin to Heizou’s melee focus, utilizing his catalyst innovatively to create dynamic strategies within various team compositions.
