Wriothesley is an upcoming Genshin Impact five-star Cryo character from Fontaine, who leakers speculate will be a catalyst user. His release has been confirmed to be in Version 4.1 as HoYoverse has officially released his drip marketing assets. I'm extremely excited for Wriothesley, as his connection with the underwater prison called the Meropide Fortress hints at a new explorable area alongside his release.
As Lord of the Meropide Fortress, Wriothesley manages administrative tasks in the prison, often putting prisoners into place. He's also close to the Melusine child named Sigewinne, as they were seen together in the Fontaine Overture Teaser. Do keep in mind that the information below has not been confirmed by HoYoverse and is solely based on leaks, so take them with a grain of salt. It's common for changes to occur between the beta test and official release.

Wriothesley Skills
Auto Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost
- Normal Attack: Coalescing frost about his fist, Wriothesley will unleash powerful Repelling Fists, performing up to 5 rapid attacks that deal Cryo Damage. Apart from this, Normal Attack combo count will not reset for a short time after using Icefang Rush or sprinting.

- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Cryo Damage upon impact.
Elemental Skill: Icefang Rush
- Adjusting his breathing, rhythm, and pace, Wriothesley sprints forward a short distance, entering the Chilling Penalty state and unleashing more powerful attacks than before.
- Chilling Penalty
- Increases Wriothesley's interruption resistance
- When his HP is above 50%, it will enhance the Repelling Fists of Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost and increase its damage. When such an attack hits, it will consume a fixed amount of Wriothesley's HP. HP can be lost this way once every 0.1 seconds.
- This effect will be canceled should Wriothesley leave the field.
Elemental Burst: Darkgold Wolfbite
- Activating his boxing gloves, Wriothesley strikes out with an icy straight, then uses Icicle Impact to cause multiple instances of AoE Cryo Damage in a frontal area.

Wriothesley Passives
- Passive one (The Duke's Grace): When Wriothesley crafts Weapon Ascension Materials, he has a 10% chance to receive double the product.
- Passive two (There Shall Be a Plea for Justice): When Wriothesley's HP is less than 60%, he will obtain a Gracious Rebuke. The next Charged Attack of his Normal Attack: Forceful Fists of Frost will be enhanced to become Rebuke: Vaulting Fist. It will not consume Stamina, will deal 50% increased damage, and after hitting will restore HP for Wriothesley equal to 30% of his Max HP. You can gain a Gracious Rebuke this way once every five seconds.
- Passive three (There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin): When Wriothesley's current HP increases or decreases, if he is in the Chilling Penalty state conferred by Icefang Rush, Chilling Penalty will gain one stack of Prosecution Edict. Max five stacks. Each stack will increase Wriothesley's Attack by 6%.

- When Wriothesley's HP is less than 60% or while he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by Icefang Rush, when the fifth attack of Repelling Fists hits, it will create a Gracious Rebuke. Only one Gracious Rebuke effect can be obtained every 2.5 seconds.
- Additionally, Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will obtain the following enhancement:
- The Damage Bonus gained will be further increased to 200%.
