Icon	Name	Type
	Forceful Fists of Frost	Normal Attack
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. Unlike most Catalyst-wielding characters, Wriothesley's Normal and Charged Attacks produce hitlag when hitting an opponent. Unlike most Catalyst-wielding characters, and like most Sword- and Polearm-wielding characters, Wriothesley's Charged Attack must be preceded by at least one Normal Attack. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, 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."

	Icefang Rush	Elemental Skill
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. When a Normal Attack during the Chilling Penalty state while above 50% HP hits at least one enemy, it generates 1 Elemental Particle. Hitting non-enemy objects will also generate particles. This particle generation has a cooldown of 2 seconds, which is shared with the particle generation from Rebuke: Vaulting Fist. Charged and Plunging Attacks during Chilling Penalty do not generate particles. Passive Effects Passive Talent 2, 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%." Constellation Effects Constellation Level 1, Terror for the Evildoers: "The Gracious Rebuke from the Passive Talent 'There Shall Be a Plea for Justice' is changed to this: When Wriothesley's HP is less than 60% or while he is in the Chilling Penalty state caused by Icefang Rush, when the fifth attack of Repelling Fists hits, it will create a Gracious Rebuke. 1 Gracious Rebuke effect can be obtained every 2.5s. Additionally, Rebuke: Vaulting Fist will obtain the following enhancement: The DMG Bonus gained will be further increased to 200%. When it hits while Wriothesley is in the Chilling Penalty state, that state's duration is extended by 4s. 1 such extension can occur per 1 Chilling Penalty duration.

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 Shall Be a Plea for Justice	1st Ascension Passive
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. When Rebuke: Vaulting Fist hits at least one enemy, it generates 1 Elemental Particle. Hitting non-enemy objects will also generate particles. This particle generation has a cooldown of 2 seconds, which is shared with the particle generation from Normal Attacks during Elemental Skill. Gracious Rebuke will not be consumed if Rebuke: Vaulting Fist fails to hit an enemy or object. Rebuke: Vaulting Fist has a much larger AoE than the unenhanced Charged Attack. The 5-second cooldown only starts after Gracious Rebuke is consumed. When Wriothesley obtains Gracious Rebuke, an emblem will appear over him accompanied by a sound cue. While he remains in the Gracious Rebuke state he will emit dark red mist.
	There Shall Be a Reckoning for Sin	4th Ascension Passive
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%.
