Normal 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 DMG. Apart from this, Normal Attack combo count will not reset for a short time after using Icefang Rush or sprinting. Charged Attack Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina to leap and unleash a Vaulting Fist, dealing AoE Cryo DMG. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon impact.
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 DMG. When such an attack hits, it will consume a fixed amount of Wriothesley's HP. HP can be lost this way once every 0.1s. This effect will be canceled should Wriothesley leave the field. "Past convictions are past. It is our future choices that we must grasp." "Defy your fate, or else this glutton be, to pay your fate's due, by the crime and thee."
Darkgold Wolfbite
Activating his boxing gloves, Wriothesley strikes out with an icy straight, then uses Icicle Impact to cause multiple instances of AoE Cryo DMG in a frontal area. Arkhe: Ousia After Icicle Impact ends, a Surging Blade will descend upon the opponent's position, dealing Ousia-aligned Cryo DMG. There are some things that even the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide can do little about — for example, complicated paperwork, the trivialities of a supervisor, or even... little kids pasting a whole host of cute but difficult-to-remove stickers on his boxing gloves.
Passive Talents
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 DMG, 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 5s.
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 5 stacks. Each stack will increase Wriothesley's ATK by 6%.

Namecard
Namecard style. Maintaining order at the Fortress of Meropide is no simple affair. As such, a deft and sometimes firm hand is needed — along with a small pinch of truly regrettable cruelty.
Quotes
Hello
Hello, please try to quickly summarize your intents and goals for this meeting. Oh? You're not here for business? Well, that just makes me even more nervous. Alright, then perhaps we should sit down and discuss things in a little more detail... Oh, and you can call me "Your Grace." That's what they all call me down in the Fortress, and... well, I kinda got used to it.
Chat: Stickers
If you ever see any stickers on my back, do me a favor and take them off... Melusines like to play pranks sometimes.
Chat: Pets
I once considered keeping some pets in my office, but soon gave up on the idea. It's just not right to keep small animals where they won't be able to see the sun.
Chat: Words of Advice
Word of advice: Don't break the law. Hmm, is there anything else? Oh, yeah... Seriously, don't break the law.
When It Rains
Oh, it's raining? That's alright. A real problem would be if we could feel water dripping on our heads in the Fortress of Meropide.
When Thunder Strikes
You know, they say if you're scared of the thunder, it's really because you've got something else to hide.
When It Snows
Hmm... This is a different kind of cold than what I'm used to.
When the Sun Is Out
They say there's nothing new under the sun, but somehow a picnic in the warm sunshine never gets old.
Good Morning
Morning. What do the papers have to say about today's weather forecast?
Good Afternoon
The Coupon Cafeteria is probably crowded right now. I'll have someone deliver the food straight to my office.
Good Evening
Huh, is it evening already? Could have sworn I'd just had my afternoon tea.
Good Night
Good night. I'll be staying up for a little while yet — want to run some numbers while everything's nice and quiet.
About Wriothesley: Misunderstanding
People have this tendency to see me as an all-knowing figure with mystical powers. In reality, I'm just one man with two eyes and two ears. How can I possibly know everything that's happening in the Fortress of Meropide?
About Wriothesley: Small Breaks
I finished serving my sentence long ago, so there's nothing stopping me from taking an occasional breather in the overworld as a free citizen. Ah, there's no need to worry... The Fortress of Meropide doesn't currently have any problem so big as to require my round-the-clock presence to operate effectively.
About Us: Committing to Jail
I form my first impressions of many people based on the contents of their inmate registration papers. Seems like you're no exception to the rule.
About Us: Finishing the Jail Term
They say it's best to begin a friendship when there's no conflict of interest. Seems like the appropriate time has come.
About the Vision
Some inmates once taught me a way to wield the elements by throwing around chemical potions. I guess whoever's in charge of handing out Visions doesn't care too much about a little rule-bending.
Something to Share
Want a tip on how to escape from the Gardes? Just give yourself a name that's really long and difficult to pronounce. They'll be stumbling over your name as soon as they try to announce that you are under arrest.
Interesting Things
"If a man will not work, he shall not eat." This phrase has been on the walls of the Fortress of Meropide for as long as anyone can remember. I don't know who first came up with it, but it's been pretty useful in the underworld.
About Neuvillette
I was once summoned by Neuvillette to discuss some matters with him in his office. When I approached the Palais Mermonia, I saw him standing by the road, completely drenched in the rain. I held out an umbrella for him, and while he thanked me politely, his expression was a little... distressed, I guess. I can only assume that I had disturbed him in the middle of something.
About Furina
Miss Furina displayed a severe lack of interest in my trial and excused herself early, probably because I pleaded guilty to all charges as soon as they were announced. Disappointing the Hydro Archon is a big deal, so... suppose I've got no choice but to keep gifting her copious amounts of the highest quality tea.
About Sigewinne
Sigewinne the head nurse possesses all the virtues associated with the medical profession and genuinely cares for the well-being of everyone around her. She seems to have picked up some bad habits from me, though, like frequently betting with her Melusine friends over who'd be able to put more stickers on my belongings. Hm? No, I'm not actually bothered by it.
About Clorinde
Clorinde is the best Champion Duelist you can find. Her combat prowess is already the stuff of legend. I've never fought her myself, but that's because there's never been a need for it.
About Lyney
I'll admit that when I removed the House of the Hearth's spies in the underworld, that was kind of an intentional provocation to the Fatui. But their only response was to send down a bunch of children... Was it because they truly saw those kids as disposable? Or because they knew I wouldn't have it in me to let them come to serious harm? *sigh*
About Navia
The Fortress of Meropide works with Spina di Rosula on some matters regarding supplies and logistics, but we don't have any other dealings. This isn't because I don't trust Navia or her abilities, in fact, I hold her in quite high regard. The only reason we continue to stay out of each other's way is because I wanna honor the agreement I made with the late Mr. Callas.
About Emilie
The Fortress of Meropide doesn't need her services. Yet some things are best preserved the way they are, warts and all, so people don't make the same mistakes twice... I say warts, but yeah. I mean the smell.
About Chevreuse
Most inmates seem to gain a new level of respect for the rules after receiving attention from the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol. As the captain, Chevreuse is an instrumental part of that team.
More About Wriothesley: I
As a general rule, the less a person sees of me, the happier their life is.
More About Wriothesley: II
Hmm? Oh the scar on my body? It's from a gash I got while battling a gigantic undersea monster that tried to take over the Fortress of Meropide. ...Hah, just kidding.
More About Wriothesley: III
Did you know, many similar models of handcuffs can all be unlocked using the same master key? Except mine, of course. They're different.
More About Wriothesley: IV
Honestly, my personal abilities are pretty limited. I got no talent in medicine, inventions, or ship-making. But what I do know how to do is find those people with those talents, and get 'em to come work for me.
More About Wriothesley: V
I've managed to get myself to a pretty comfortable place in life, but there's still some things I want that are outside my reach, like a peaceful and happy childhood, or the ability to trust other people. Maybe some people would see those feelings as shameful or contradictory, but I don't see a problem with sharing them. After all, why should anybody be afraid to admit what they want?
Wriothesley's Hobbies
Boxing? To me, that's more of a necessity than a hobby. You got some suggestions for actual hobbies?
Wriothesley's Troubles
While I do possess some stereotypical Fontainian looks, when you're an orphan, you can never really be sure where you're from. Who knows, maybe I'll take a dip in the Primordial Sea one of these days just to check...
Favorite Food
I usually take some milk with my coffee and two cubes of sugar with my tea.
Least Favorite Food
Have you ever had one of Sigewinne's milkshakes? The taste that comes to mind is... what's that flavor... desolation.
Receiving a Gift: I
What a perfect blend of flavors. I could have never made this myself.
Receiving a Gift: II
Lovely. I'll be sure to treat you to something next time.
Receiving a Gift: III
Please excuse me, I'm... I'm gonna brew a cup of tea.
Birthday
Our tradition says that all children of Fontaine are born amid their parents' wishes and blessings, but I'd like to think that all children are born from such wonderful feelings. Anything that I can say to celebrate your birth would feel a little trivial next to that, right? Unfortunately, I won't be able to reduce your prison sentence if you were to commit a crime — the only thing I would be able to pull off would be a special Welfare Meal for your birthday dinner. With all that in mind, why don't you try to respect the law a bit more around your birthday, so we'll be able to celebrate somewhere nice on the surface?
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
It is my honor to win your trust.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Uh oh, looks like I'll owe you a favor now.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
Ha, why do you look even more pleased about this than me?
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
I like signs of strength and hope. They give me reassurance that tomorrow will be better than today. This isn't to be pessimistic, but it's impossible for the present to be without its doubts and troubles — that's just the truth. But come hell or high water, if nothing else then at least we'll be able to figure it out together, right?

Let's begin.

Oh, this wasn't locked? How convenient.
Opening Treasure Chest: II
I'd take it if I were you. I'm sure it'll come in handy.
Opening Treasure Chest: III
All unclaimed articles should be turned in, so... neither of us saw anything here, right?
Low HP: I
No need to fear.
Low HP: II
No backup, huh? Fine by me.

Sorry... I couldn't protect...

Going easy on me?

...Not bad.

Got a side job for me? Sure thing.
Joining Party: III
I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee you victory.
