Charlotte Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact

Strengths

• Able to Consistently apply Cryo due to being a Cryo Catalyst user.
• Great partywide healing with her Elemental Burst.
• Unique passive ability changing her Elemental Skill into a Kamera which can be used in Combat and in Domains.

Weaknesses

• 4th Ascension Passive can make team building more restrictive.
• Very high Energy Recharge requirements.
• Even though Charlotte's healing scales based on ATK, she still outputs low damage.

Charlotte's best weapon is Prototype Amber. Even though it gives HP as its secondary stat, the Energy it regenerates from your Elemental Burst as well as the additional healing makes it a better option than weapons which just give ATK boosts. Favonius Codex is the next best alternative providing a lot of Energy Recharge while also helping to lower your teams Energy Recharge requirements as a result of its effect.

Charlotte's best artifact set tends to be Noblesse Oblige which provides ATK buffs for the party although it does encourage you to use your Elemental Burst every rotation even if unneeded. Tenacity of the Millelith is a great alternate artifact set if someone in the party is already using Noblesse and also provides ATK buffs for the party.

With regards to stat prioroties, Charlotte wants Energy Recharge and ATK mostly. Healing Bonus is your best option for the Circlet although CRIT Rate is an important stat to consider if you are using Favonius Codex so that you can ensure you trigger the Energy saving effects.

Charlotte initially has very high Energy Recharge requirements and therefore benefits heavily from weapons which help to ease this issue. Listed below are some approximations depending on how many Cryo characters are in the party as well as rough estimates with specific weapons.

Note that Charlotte's A Responsibility to Oversee (C4) can restore Energy for every enemy hit by Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation while marked. This is ~5% per enemy but you can not necessarily guarantee the later floors of Spiral Abyss will have multiple enemies to tag.

Charlotte's Elemental Skill Framing: Freezing Point Composition provides very different effects depending on if you tap or hold the skill.

• Tap deals AoE Cryo DMG in front of her, applying the effect "Snappy Silhouette" which marks the enemy and deals Damage over time.
• Hold enters an Aiming mode which deals Cryo DMG and applies "Snappy Silhouette". Additionally, if you fully hold the skill "Snappy Silhouette" changes to "Focused Impresion" which is the same thing but deals increased DMG for longer while also making the skill CD longer.

Generally, you will use the Tap version of the skill. While it generates a little less Energy, the cooldown when reduced with Moment of Impact can be short enough to allow you to use it twice which can provide a higher uptime on the mark and more Energy overall. These attacks are also all counted as coming from Monsieur Verite, which is her custom Kamera. This is important for some of Charlotte's Constellations which specifically active when Monsieur Verite attacks.

Charlotte's Elemental Burst Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation is how she heals the party. On top of dealing Cryo DMG in a Small AoE it deals powerful partywide healing and then additional healing to the on-field character.

Charlotte's main pairing is with Furina where her partywide healing helps to easily generate Fanfare stacks and therefore a powerful DMG bonus. Aside from that she also pairs really well with other Cryo characters for reduced Energy Recharge requirements and Elemental Resonance.

In this team, Charlotte provides healing for Kaedehara Kazuha and Furina while also generating Fanfare with Furina's Elemental Burst. While Neuvillette has his own self healing abilities it is not enough to efficiently generate Fanfare stacks. Kazuha supports the team by providing Hydro RES Shred to further increase Neuvillette's DMG.

Charlotte can be great in Freeze teams, her Energy Recharge requirements are significantly lower and she also helps bring Cryo Resonance to increase CRIT Rate for your team. Some example teams include Freeze teams with Ganyu, Kamisato Ayaka and Wriothesley.
