Charlotte

Cryo Catalyst Tier A Support
Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.
Is Charlotte worth building?

Charlotte is a 4-star support well worth raising: she heals the whole team in a flash and provides steady Cryo for Freeze comps, and she's easy to get so anyone can use her. Her Burst is the heart of her kit, so meet your Energy needs and farm 4pc Noblesse Oblige to buff the team's damage; lean into Ocean-Hued Clam if you want more healing. Favonius Codex is the smoothest weapon for energy, while the craftable Prototype Amber boosts her healing. A reliable support pillar for new and veteran players alike.

Charlotte's talents

Cool-Color Capture
Normal Attack
Taking aim at targets using Monsieur Verite, her custom Kamera, Charlotte performs up to 3 consecutive attacks, dealing Cryo DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina, and after a moment's preparation, will deploy Monsieur Verite to deal AoE Cryo DMG.

Plunging Attack
Gathering the power of Cryo, Charlotte plunges toward the ground, dealing DMG to all opponents in her path and dealing AoE Cryo DMG upon landing.

Arkhe: Pneuma
At certain intervals, upon using a Charged Attack, Charlotte will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend and pierce opponents, dealing Pneuma-aligned AoE Cryo DMG.
Framing: Freezing Point Composition
Using the keen instincts of an ace reporter, Charlotte uses her photography skills to produce different effects based on whether the ability is Tapped or Held.

Tap
Takes a snapshot using Monsieur Verite, dealing AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her and applying Snappy Silhouette to a maximum of 5 opponents. During this effect's duration, it will deal Cryo DMG to affected opponents at intervals.

Hold
Popping Monsieur Verite's viewfinder open, Charlotte enters Composition Mode, and during this time, the viewfinder will expand as you hold until you reach a Finisher Frame state. In this state, Charlotte can move and change direction freely.
When the hold state ends, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG to all opponents locked on within the viewfinder, and apply the same Snappy Silhouette as Tap Mode does to them. If you unleash this ability only after reaching Finisher Frame, you will instead apply Focused Impression, which lasts longer and deals more DMG, although the Skill CD will be longer.
Composition Mode lasts a maximum of 15s and allows a maximum of 5 opponents to be selected.

"Press photography requires simple shots with exceptional theming, but most of all, you need to have a knack for capturing the moment!"
Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation
Condensing ice to create The Steambird's signature, Charlotte creates a Newsflash Field that will deal AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP for all nearby party members based on Charlotte's ATK.
Newsflash Field
·While the ability is active, Monsieur Verite will deal Cryo DMG at intervals to opponents within its AoE.
·Will continuously restore HP to active character(s) within its AoE based on Charlotte's ATK.

"Hearing stories from multiple perspectives to recreate what really happened is key to a good report... I mean, that's how you can pick the best angle for your article!"
Moment of Impact
When opponents marked by "Focused Impression" are defeated, Framing: Freezing Point Composition's CD will be decreased by 2s. This CD decrease can be triggered 4 times every 12s.
Diversified Investigation
When the party contains 1/2/3 Fontainians other than herself, Charlotte gains a 5%/10%/15% Healing Bonus. When the party contains 1/2/3 non-Fontainians, Charlotte gains a 5%/10%/15% Cryo DMG Bonus.
First-Person Shutter
After activating the Special Analysis Zoom Lens, Charlotte's "Framing: Freezing Point Composition" Hold Mode cannot trigger its original effects, but instead enables her to take photos in a rather unique manner...

Combat Rotation

  1. Open with Burst (Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation, needs 80 Energy) to drop the Newsflash Field: it heals the party based on Charlotte's ATK and deals periodic Cryo DMG inside the field.
  2. Hold Skill (Framing: Freezing Point Composition) until you reach Finisher Frame, then release to apply Focused Impression — higher damage, longer uptime, but the Skill CD stretches to 18s instead of 12s.
  3. For a quick reaction or short window, just Tap the Skill instead of holding it, marking up to 5 targets with Snappy Silhouette on a 12s CD.
  4. Swap to your main DPS and keep them standing inside the Newsflash Field for the continuous healing, while the Cryo application lets them trigger their own elemental reactions.
  5. Bring Charlotte back in for Normal and Charged Attacks to proc Arkhe: Pneuma — a Spiritbreath Thorn adds extra AoE Cryo DMG and helps her regen Energy.
  6. Whenever a Focused Impression target gets killed, the Skill's CD gets cut further (up to 4 times per 12s), so you can loop back into Skill sooner.
  7. Recast the Burst every time you hit 80 Energy (build Energy Recharge for this) to keep the healing field and Cryo pressure rolling between your main DPS's combos.

C6
A Summation of Interest

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.
