Who is Charlotte in Genshin Impact?
Charlotte is a journalist for the renowned Fontaine-based newspaper called the Steambird. And it is no exaggeration to say that she is one of the best in her profession. She follows the principle that the nearer to the action is closer to the truth. Therefore, she can be seen in almost every corner of Fontaine. If something happens somewhere, Charlotte will be there.
This leads to the fact that the journalist often faces problems and those who want to hide the truth at any cost. But Charlotte is not afraid of any threats because she is not only a master with the pen, but also with her camera, known as Monsieur Verite:
- Cool-Color Capture (Normal Attack) - Charlotte can perform up to three consecutive Cryo attacks. In the case of a Charged attack, it deals an AoE Cryo DMG. Also, from time to time, Charlotte can launch Spiritbreath Thorn during her Charged Attack, which will inflict Pneuma AoE Cryo DMG on the enemy.
- Framing: Freezing Point Composition (Elemental Skill) - Charlotte can inflict AoE Cryo DMG on multiple enemies or just Cryo DMG in case of a charged Elemental Skill. Furthermore, a Snappy Silhouette effect will be applied to enemies, which will additionally inflict Cryo DMG for a short time.
- Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation (Elemental Burst) - Charlotte creates a large area in which she inflicts AoE Cryo DMG and restores the health of all team members.
Considering all this, Charlotte is not suitable for the Main DPS role. Instead, you're better off using her to cast Cryo and heal allies. In other words, she is a good Support or Sub-DPS. However, her skills require a lot of energy.
Best weapons for Charlotte
- Skyward Atlas - Increases ATK, which will allow Charlotte to hit harder and also improve the effect of her Elemental Burst since the healing is based on the ATK stat.
- Favonius Codex - It will allow Charlotte to restore energy much faster, which will solve her main problem.
- Oathsworn Eye - This weapon is more balanced as it increases ATK and buffs Charlotte's Energy Recharge.
Best artifacts for Charlotte
- Ocean-Hued Clam Set - Increases the healing effect and allows you to deal even more damage while using Charlotte's Elemental Burst. As for stats, you need ATK, Energy Recharge, and Healing Bonus.
- Tenacity Of The Millelith Set - An alternative that will help Charlotte buff team members every time she uses an Elemental Skill.
- Blizzard Strayer Set - Increases Cryo DMG and gives a bonus to CRIT Rate against frozen enemies.

- Neuvillette, Furina, Charlotte and Sucrose
