Overview

  • Healer
  • Off-field Cryo application

Charlotte is a Cryo healer whose healing and damage both scale with ATK. Her Elemental Burst heals the whole party at once and leaves a field that keeps healing the active character while it hits enemies with Cryo. Her Elemental Skill marks up to five enemies, and the mark keeps dealing Cryo damage at intervals, so she applies Cryo well even after you swap away.

Build her for Energy Recharge first so the burst is ready every rotation, then ATK and Healing Bonus. Her passive gives her Healing Bonus for each other Fontaine character in the party and Cryo DMG Bonus for each character from elsewhere, so the right team can push her slightly toward healing or damage for free.

Weapons

Best first. Every catalyst on this list links to its page.

  1. Favonius Codex ★★★★

    Lots of Energy Recharge, and her multi-hit skill marks give it many chances to make extra particles for the team.

  2. Prototype Amber ★★★★

    Craftable. Its passive returns Energy and heals the party after she bursts, which is exactly what a healer wants.

  3. Skyward Atlas ★★★★★

    A 5-star with ATK on the main stat, which raises both her heals and her Cryo hits.

  4. Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers ★★★

    A 3-star that gives a short ATK buff to the next character you swap to. A good team option if your carry is not using one already.

Artifact sets

  1. Noblesse Oblige 4-piece

    She bursts every rotation anyway, so the party ATK buff is easy to keep up.

  2. Song of Days Past 4-piece

    Turns part of her healing into extra damage for the active character's attacks. A good choice when Noblesse Oblige is taken.

  3. Maiden Beloved + Gladiator's Finale 2-piece each

    A simple mix of healing and ATK. Any set with a healing 2-piece works in place of Maiden Beloved.

Teams

  • Neuvillette Freeze

    Neuvillette and Furina are both from Fontaine, which raises her Healing Bonus. Her steady healing keeps the party above half HP for Furina, and her Cryo can Freeze enemies that Neuvillette keeps wet.

  • Ayaka Freeze

    Charlotte adds Cryo off the field and heals, so Ayaka can stay on enemies that never get the chance to move.

  • Wriothesley support

    Wriothesley spends his own HP and Furina drains the party, so a steady healer is welcome. Her Cryo adds to Wriothesley's own.

Tips

  • Tap her skill for quick marks. A full hold that reaches the Finisher Frame gives a longer, stronger mark but a longer cooldown, so save it for groups.
  • Her burst field only heals the active character standing inside it, so fight close to where you placed it.
  • Count the Fontaine characters in your team: more of them gives her more healing, more characters from elsewhere gives her more Cryo damage.

Other character guides recommend Charlotte as a teammate in these teams.

Talents

Normal Attack Cool-Color Capture
Normal Attack Taking aim at targets using Monsieur Verite, her custom Kamera, Charlotte performs up to 3 consecutive attacks, dealing Cryo DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina, and after a moment's preparation, will deploy Monsieur Verite to deal AoE Cryo DMG. Plunging Attack Gathering the power of Cryo, Charlotte plunges toward the ground, dealing DMG to all opponents in her path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon landing. Arkhe: Pneuma At certain intervals, upon using a Charged Attack, Charlotte will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend and pierce opponents, dealing Pneuma-aligned AoE Cryo DMG.
Elemental Skill Framing: Freezing Point Composition
Using the keen instincts of an ace reporter, Charlotte uses her photography skills to produce different effects based on whether the ability is Tapped or Held. Tap Takes a snapshot using Monsieur Verite, dealing AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her and applying Snappy Silhouette to a maximum of 5 opponents. During this effect's duration, it will deal Cryo DMG to affected opponents at intervals. Hold Popping Monsieur Verite's viewfinder open, Charlotte enters Composition Mode, and during this time, the viewfinder will expand as you hold until you reach a Finisher Frame state. In this state, Charlotte can move and change direction freely. When the hold state ends, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG to all opponents locked on within the viewfinder, and apply the same Snappy Silhouette as Tap Mode does to them. If you unleash this ability only after reaching Finisher Frame, you will instead apply Focused Impression, which lasts longer and deals more DMG, although the Skill CD will be longer. Composition Mode lasts a maximum of 15s and allows a maximum of 5 opponents to be selected.
Elemental Burst Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation
Condensing ice to create The Steambird's signature, Charlotte creates a Newsflash Field that will deal AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP for all nearby party members based on Charlotte's ATK. Newsflash Field ·While the ability is active, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG at intervals to opponents within its AoE. ·Will continuously restore HP to active character(s) within its AoE based on Charlotte's ATK.

Passive talent First-Person Shutter
After activating the Special Analysis Zoom Lens, Charlotte's "Framing: Freezing Point Composition" Hold Mode cannot trigger its original effects, but instead enables her to take photos in a rather unique manner...
