Time to take a look at the best builds for Charlotte in Genshin Impact. As a Cryo Catalyst user, Charlotte has a fantastically simple kit, letting her fill the role of DPS and healer at the same time.

Charlotte’s main stat is ATK, which is an incredibly easy thing to build with Artifacts and Weapons. With little investment, you can get yourself a decent support healer and strong sub-DPS without spreading her thin with these best builds.

Charlotte best builds

Charlotte is a great character for several roles, since her abilities all scale off of her ATK stat. This means her healing and DMG go up at the same rate, making her perfect to slot into either of these roles or perform as both of them at once.

WeaponArtifact SetArtifact Stat
1. Kagura’s Verity

2. Skyward Atlas

3. Flowing Purity

4. Favonius Codex

5. Oathsworn Eye

6. Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers

Healer build:
2x Ocean-Hued Clam
2x Gladiator’s Finale

All-purpose build:
4x Noblesse Oblige
Sands: ATK

Goblet: ATK

Circlet: ATK or Healing Bonus

When it comes to Charlotte, she is brilliant at applying Cryo, but her healing field doesn’t last a super long time when using her Burst. Her Skill can only grab five targets at once, but even with these limitations, you will see a great performance from the Steambird’s ace reporter.

The weapons listed in the table above are all decent options when it comes to the best builds for Charlotte. Since her kit scales off of ATK, you want a weapon that will greatly enhance this, making her better as a DPS and a healer all at the same time.

Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers

We will say that giving Charlotte Thrilling Tales will only work if you’re using Charlotte to hot-swap to your main DPS, and you should opt for the other weapons instead of it. It isn’t great for Charlotte, since the main stat it gives is HP percent, not ATK.

Best weapons for Charlotte

The best weapon for Charlotte is Kagura’s Verity. This is the weapon you’ll want to use if building Charlotte as a DPS. Thanks to the weapon’s passive effect, Charlotte gets a Crit DMG boost and her Skill deals more damage with the stacking buff.

Flowing Purty

Outside of Kagura’s Verity, there are several options for Charlotte to use when it comes to weapons, from powerful 5-stars to extremely decent 4-star Catalysts. One of the best free-to-play weapons for Charlotte is the Flowing Purity catalyst since it synergises extremely well with how her kit works. Better yet, her healing can remove the Life Link created by the passive effect. We highly recommend Flowing Purity for DPS Charlotte builds since it can be crafted in-game for free and gives you ATK% as the secondary stat.

The Favonius Codex

Thanks to the Energy Recharge granted by the Favonius Codex, Charlotte can get more uptime on her Burst while also helping the party by generating more energy particles thanks to the weapon’s passive effect. This weapon has a high base ATK, which will go a long way in buffing up Charlotte’s overall damage and healing. Favonius Codex works best on a support-focused Charlotte build.

Skyward Atlas

Skyward Atlas is another excellent weapon for Charlotte if you have it. The Skyward Atlas gives the largest boost to ATK% across all the catalysts, which will directly translate to more damage and healing from Charlotte. Better yet, the passive effect from Skyward Atlas will provide a further boost to her elemental damage and Normal Attacks, making it one of the best for all-rounder Charlotte builds.

Best Artifact set for Charlotte

4x Noblesse Oblige build

Depending on the role you pick, the best Artifact set for Charlotte will be 4x Noblesse Oblige, 4x Blizzard Strayer, or the 4x Ocean-Hued Clam. Kitting Charlotte out with Noblesse will help her buff the team’s damage, heal fairly well, and deal impressive Cryo damage herself. This build will turn her into an all-rounder who is decent at pretty much every aspect. Since Noblesse buffs your team’s ATK stat, having more characters who use this as their main stat for damage will work great with Charlotte.

4x Blizzard Strayer build

Outside of this, you could focus on making Charlotte more of a DPS by giving her the Blizzard Strayer Artifact Set. This will increase her Cryo DMG and her Crit Rate, letting her dish out more punishment when using her Normal Attack, Skill, and Burst. Having Charlotte in this build alongside a Hydro user will help her out in Freeze team comps, allowing her to keep pressure on enemies by stopping them from moving. Blizzard Strayer is arguably the best Artifact Set for Charlotte thanks to how great the passive effects from the set are.

2x Ocean-Hued Clam and 2x Gladiator’s Finale build

If you want to double down on Charlotte’s healing, you can still have her dish out great damage while being in more of a supporting healer role thanks to the Ocean-Hued Clam set mixed with the Gladiator’s Finale. Thanks to the Healing Bonus from the set and the Dyed Sea Foam that appears to deal more damage, Charlotte can get the best of both worlds from an ATK-focused healing set.

Charlotte Talent priority

Charlotte’s Talents should be levelled in the following order:

  1. Elemental Skill
  2. Elemental Burst
  3. Normal Attack

If you use Charlotte as a support or healer, you should focus on levelling her Burst first since this is what will make her a better healer. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with levelling her Skill and Normal Attack, just make sure Normal Attack is prioritised last.

Charlotte Constellations

Charlotte gets some more utility in the shape of more damage and increased healing with her Constellations. With that said, none of them are worth getting to make her any better than she already is. Her most notable Constellation is her C1 and C2 which lets her Burst heal your character without standing in the effect and gives extra damage by using her skill respectively.

ConstellationEffect
C1: A Need to Verify FactsAfter Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation heals a character, it will mark them with Verification, which will heal them once every 2s for 80% of Charlotte’s ATK. This effect lasts 6s.
C2: A Duty to Pursue TruthWhen using Framing: Freezing Point Composition, when Monsieur Verite hits 1/2/3 (or more) opponents, Charlotte’s own ATK will be increased by 10%/20%/30% for 12s.
C3: An Imperative to IndependenceIncreases the Level of Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4: A Responsibility to OverseeWhen Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation hits an opponent marked by Snappy Silhouette or Focused Impression, it will deal 10% more DMG and restore 2 Energy to Charlotte. This restoration can be triggered 5 times every 20s.
C5: A Principle of ConscienceIncreases the Level of Framing: Freezing Point Composition by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6: A Summation of InterestWhen the active character’s Normal and Charged Attacks hit an opponent marked by Framing: Freezing Point Composition’s Focused Impression, Monsieur Verite will initiate a coordinated attack that deals 180% of Charlotte’s ATK as AoE Cryo DMG and heals your active character within the AoE for 42% of Charlotte’s ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 6s and both DMG and healing dealt in this way will be considered as having been done by Charlotte’s Elemental Burst.
