r/WriothesleyMains

Ok I'm having trouble finding any absolute answer so I wanted to ask here.

Between Xiangling, Mavuika, and Durin which is better for Wriothesley?
What exactly gives one an edge over the other? Is there a definitive answer or is it really just a matter of the situation? Are there any specific restrictions that need to be acknowledged for them?

To try sum up what I've found so far:
(assume all units are c0 for this)

Mavuika - Can provide good overall buffs with A4 passive and full Scrolls effect, but I've heard pyro application can fall behind at times and she'll take the melt, making Wrio the applier instead. A dendro for burning is important for her in this.
Xiangling - Reliant on Bennett for ER needs. Also uses him for burst snapshot buff and Noblesse. She herself doesn't offer buffs, just good pyro application and sup-dps.
Durin - Good pyro application uptime and can offer some res shred, plus a good Noblesse user. But he needs another Hexrei for full effect.
Here's why I'm marking this as spoiler rn: The new Hexrei artifact set "Bounty of Nature" is going be amazing for Durin's buffing. With the inclusion of Nicole we also get a teammate that can active the hexrei passives. She also shields, buffs, and since she's pyro and a hexrei she can take the Bounty of Nature set with no problems if you want to run something else on Durin.

Looking at how much I wrote, theoretically Durin would be the best pyro support for Wrio, but does that work in practice?
Each unit kind of relies on another to bring out their full potential for Wrio (Mauvika needs a dendro, Xiangling needs Bennett, Durin needs Nicole) making them on their own... how good? And how does the inclusion of the second "required" unit affect Wriothesley?

Like, running a dendro unit in a reverse-melt for Wriothesley is already often recommended to help with pyro aura uptime no? So does Mavuika kind of needing a dendro unit to keep the pyro aura around actually matter much? Do Bennett and Nicole add enough worth that that their inclusion is truly worth it? And which is the "better" support?

If context matters at all, I'm planning to redo my Wriothesley artifacts and team sometime and have planned to get both Durin and Nicole for a while now and have some stuff pre-farmed. I have Xiangling, Bennett, and Mavuika all built plus a built Nahida and Yao Yao for dendro application (no Emelie) so me picking my Wriothesley teammates really comes down to my preference rather than team restrictions. So what would be the strongest team?
(I also have a c6 of all mentioned 4 stars, assume c0 on 5 stars. but i kind of want this to act as a general guide for anyone looking for the difference between these 3 pyro units in a Wrio team so talking about what are the best cons for who can be generally helpful if you know)

Sorry for my massive post on a random Wednesday and thank you for any help! 🙇

So Wrio got shafted out of the Chronicle Wish Banner, just so they could sell Lohen

I dont care at all about emilie but I'm well aware that she's gonna be part of wrio's best burn melt team with nicole durin. Im saving for nicole rn and dont really plan on getting emilie on the fontaine chronicled. Will using another dendro do? I plan on using baizhu with instructor instead would this work? (note: I dont have nor want nahida either)

I’m looking to upgrade my C1R1 Wrio melt team. Realistically speaking, I can only get one or the other this patch unless I get lucky.

I’m more inclined to grab Durin first since he will probably take longer to re-run. I also heard that Nicole is cheeks without Hex teammates.

Is Durin’s pyro app enough for C1 Wrio, or do I need to supplement with additional pyro like PMC or Nahida for burning? If I don’t get Nicole, is Sucrose best in the last slot for Hex buff?
