A Complete Guide to Maximizing Charlotte in Genshin Impact: Best Builds and Team Compositions

Charlotte's Abilities and Playstyle

Normal and Charge Attacks (Camera-Based Attacks)

Both normal and charge attacks deal Cryo damage, useful for adding Cryo to your team composition.

These attacks have decent AOE and range, making Charlotte an effective on-field option.

‍

Elemental Skill (Snapshot Mechanic)

Tapping marks up to five nearby enemies, causing periodic Cryo damage.

Holding the skill enters a "finisher frame" state, allowing Charlotte to move and aim. This upgraded mark increases the duration and damage output.

Holding the skill generates more Cryo particles, crucial for Charlotte's high energy needs.

‍

Elemental Burst (Healing Focus)

Initiates with an AOE Cryo attack followed by significant healing based on Charlotte's attack stat. It benefits the active character and the entire party.

Particularly effective for teams with characters like Furina, who converts HP into damage, needing strong healing support.

‍

Talent Prioritization

Elemental Burst (Primary Focus)

Maximizing this talent increases the healing output, making her an effective healer in various team compositions.

‍

Elemental Skill (Secondary Focus)‍

The skill is vital for particle generation, which fuels her burst.

Upgrading it enhances the Cryo damage dealt and improves energy recharge efficiency.

Remember, holding the skill generates more particles, so balancing its use with your team's energy needs is key.

Normal Attack (Lowest Priority)

While her normal and charged attacks deal Cryo damage and can be useful for elemental application, they aren't Charlotte's primary contribution to the team.

In Dendro-centric teams, Charlotte provides healing and Cryo application for additional reactions like Bloom or Burgeon.

Advanced Playstyle Tips

Skill and Burst Coordination

Elemental Skill (E)‍

Opt for holding her skill to mark enemies for a longer duration.

This not only generates more Cryo particles but also keeps the Cryo application consistent, which is crucial for reaction-based teams.

‍

Elemental Burst (Q)‍

Time her burst for optimal healing. In teams with Furina, use Charlotte's burst after Furina's HP drain to quickly replenish health.

‍

Energy Management

Given her high energy needs for her burst, pairing Charlotte with characters or weapons that provide additional energy (like Favonius weapons) is beneficial.

Use Energy Recharge (ER) artifacts efficiently to ensure her burst is available as often as possible.

‍

Maximizing Healing Output

Focus on building her Attack (ATK) stat, as her healing scales with ATK.

If you have her first constellation, it enhances her healing capabilities significantly.

Use this to your advantage in teams where high healing output is necessary.

‍

Positioning and Crowd Control

Charlotte's skill requires precise positioning to mark the maximum number of enemies.

Position her so that the camera frame captures as many targets as possible.

In combination with Anemo characters, group enemies together before using her skill for maximum effect.

‍

Conclusion

Charlotte emerges as a versatile and potent healer, especially valuable in teams with Furina or where significant healing is required.

Her unique playstyle revolving around her camera and Cryo abilities offers a refreshing experience in Genshin Impact’s diverse roster.
