The character roster for the open-world, Adventure RPGGenshin Impactgrows ever bigger with each patch update. 4.1 introduced two gentlemen that had long-earned the admiration of many players thanks to their beautiful designs. Wriothesley, the Phase Two, five-star unit is one of them.
Not only does his role as Duke of the Fortress of Meropide place him at the center of the main storyline in the game, effectively making him one of the key characters in Fontaine; he is also the very first Catalyst user with a Cryo vision. Wriothesley has a lot to offer, but you will need to ascend him if you want to use him.
Wriothesley’s Ascension Materials
Like most, if not all, characters in the game, Wriothesleyfollows a specific ascension formula. He will requirea handful of resources for ascending, which are split among regular materials, regional specialties forthe Region associated with the character, normal World Boss drops, stone fragments,and lots of Mora.
Wriothesley is also one of the Fontaine characters whosematerials are only found within Fontaine, unlike characters like Lyney, thatrecycle materials from normal mobsthat aren’t unique to the region.
The regional specialty you need to farm for Wriothesleywas added in the 4.1 patch update; you will find it scattered across the Liffey Region andThe Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region.
Meanwhile, the Tourbillon Device drop isobtained by defeating The Prototype Cal. Breguet, a Normal Boss that you can find in theAcademic Assembly Hallin the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region.
As for his normal mob drops, they areobtained from defeatingall types of Clockwork Meka Mobs all over Fontaine.
The quantity and quality requirementsfor most of Wriothesley’s Ascension materialswill increase as you reach higher ascension phases. To reach each Ascension Phase, up to the sixth and last one,you will need all the following:
1
40
20,000
Subdetection Unit x 3
Meshing Gear x 3
2
50
40,000
Subdetection Unit x 10
Meshing Gear x 15

Subdetection Unit x 60
Artificed Dynamic Gear x 24
Tourbillon Device x 20
Keep an eye on the quantity and rarityof the materials you need as you start farming; this will often be the trickiest part of ascending a character,mainly because of how much time it takes to gather everything, so it always helps to keep count toavoid having to run all over the place in the last minute.
What Is The Total Cost Of Leveling Up Wriothesley?
Since gathering materials for Ascension is an intricate processin its own right, it might happen that you forget to account for theprecise amount of Mora and EXP booksyou will need to max levels. However, this isas crucial to maxing a character as their materials, even if it’s a rather standard procedure.
Running out of Mora or EXP materials in the middle of ascending a charactercan really halt your progress. Accounting for these expenses in your budget from the beginningwill ensure a much smoother experience.
The EXP and Mora cost for leveling Wriothesleyup is as follows:
Experience Book Cost And Approx Waste
1 - 10
5,000
10 - 20
18,800
20 - 30
42,400
30 - 40
73,000
40 - 50
115,800
50 - 60
170,800
60 - 70
239,000
70 - 80
322,200
80 - 90
684,600
In short,taking Wriothesley from level one to 90will cost 404 Hero’s Wit, 35 Adventurer’s Experience, 12 Wanderer’s Advice. While werecommend this combination to avoid wasting too much experience, you do not need to follow these amounts. Just remember: each Wanderer’s Advice is worth 1,000 EXP, each Adventurer’s Experience is worth 5,000 EXP, and each Hero’s Wit is worth 20,000 EXP.
The leveling up process willalso cost you roughly 1,671,600 Mora. You will need to add the ascension costs to this total for an accurate calculation of the entire cost. It will end up beingaround 2,091,600 Mora for everything except his talents, which also have costs of their own.
It is recommended that youkeep an extra 50,000 Mora to offset error margin costs. While ascending a character has somewhat fixed costs, this stillshows some variation here and there. So, be prepared in advance.
Wriothesley’s Talent Materials
Talent Ascension is the bread and butter ofbuilding strong characters in Genshin Impact. However, it is not the easiest process becauseit is significantly more time-consuming than farming for ascension and leveling. Not only do you need a lot or materials, but you alsoneed some pretty rare stuff, like talent books and Trounce Domain drops.
The Order talent books can be farmed in thePale Forgotten Glory Domain of Mastery in Fontaine. They are availableall Wednesdays and Saturdays. You will also be able to farm them onSundays, when all materials for every domain are available.
As forPrimordial Greenbloom, you can obtain it bychallenging the weekly boss domain The Realm of Beginnings, which you will unlockafter playing through Sapientia Oromasdis Act 2, Nahida’s second story quest.
Wriothesley is aCatalyst user who will serve as a Main DPSin most of his team compositions. His play style placesmost of the emphasis on his Normal Attacks and his Elemental Skill, making these talents really important when building him.
To level up Wriothesley’s Talents, you will needthe following materials in these quantities:
12,500
Teachings of Order x 3
Meshing Gear x 6
17,500
Guide to Order x 2
25,000
Guide to Order x 4
30,000
Guide to Order x 6
37,500
Guide to Order x 9
7
Philosophies of Order x 4
Primordial Greenbloom x 1
8
260,000
Philosophies of Order x 6
9
450,000
Philosophies of Order x 12
Primordial Greenbloom x 2
10
700,000
Philosophies of Order x 18
Artificed Dynamic Gear x 12
The final talent level will also require aspecial material called Crown of Insight. You may obtain this resourcethrough limited-time events, or from special placeslike the Frostbearing Tree, the Sacred Sakura, or the Tree of Dreams, where youexchange a nation’s Sigils for various rewards.
Costs are listed per talent. Thus, you will need to account for each talent separately. To knowhow much it will cost to triple crown Wriothesleyyou will have toadd these up three times; once for his Normal Attack, once for his Elemental Skill, and once for his Elemental Burst.
Triple crowning a character is a costly endeavor. Performance between talent levels nine and ten isoften not significant enough to justify this effort, and so the triple crown is usuallyreserved for a true favorite unit. If that’s not the case for you, you probably won’t need to worry about farming that much.
