Best Wriothesley Team Comp in Genshin Impact
Wriothesley is an HP scaling unit, but there are no direct buffers in the game. Therefore, you need to run something else with him. One of the best teams you can run with Wriothesley is a freeze composition with Rosaria, Kokomi, and Kazuha.
You can also run, Shenhe, Kokomi, and Kazuha if you have those units. Additionally, you can run, Rosaria, Xingqiu, and Kazuha, which is more of a free-to-play freeze composition.
However, if you want, you can run melt compositions too. You can try going for Shenhe, Xiangling, and, Bennett. Unfortunately, the melt composition feels clunky and is difficult to run, especially in the Spiral Abyss. Remember, using Bennett is necessary in the melt team, but it is counter-productive on account of his skill.
