Wriothesley the warden of Fortress of Meropide is our new character in this new patch. He have Cryo vision with animation moveset of boxer. I love his fighting animation, kinda remind me of Gipsy Danger elbow rocket from Pacific Rim or Yang from RWBY.
Wriothesley playstyle centered around his enhanced cryo infused attack and HP draining mechanics just like recent characters from Fountaine, or even Honkai Star Rail: Jingliu and Blade.

Weapons
Cashflow Supervision is the best weapon for him, it’s his signature weapon after all. This weapon have CRIT Rate substats and passive that compliment his HP increase and decrease mechanics.
Worst scenario, you can go with Flowing Purity from forging table. Easy to max as long has you have required midlander catalyst billet.

Team for Wriothesley?
Wriothesley Normal and Charged Attack during enhanced state will reduce his HP around 4.5% per hit and your priority is to keep his HP around 50-60% while spamming attack.
Because of this, you will need to bring healer in his team. You can go with Bennet who also cover ATK buff, Jean 4 Viridescent for elemental res shred, Mika who can also buff ATK SPD, etc.
Other than that, go for other type of support like hydro character to trigger freeze, character with Normal ATK bonus, Cryo buffer, shield, etc. For example:
Wriothesley freeze team
Fridge Bloom, Reverse Melt, Mono Cryo also work. More team will be added in the future.
