* MovesetClone: Gameplay-wise, Wriothesley's skillset is fairly similar to the Wanderer's. Both are catalyst wielders whose Elemental Skill is a stance that empowers their basic attacks for a duration and should they have their second Constellation unlocked, have an Elemental Burst that scales in potency based on the state of their Skill's stance.

* SituationalSword: His first-ascension passive, ''There Shall Be a Plea for Justice'', grants him a stack of Gracious Rebuke whenever his HP falls to no more than 60% (with at least 5-second intervals), which upgrade his next charged attack into ''Rebuke: Vaulting Fist'', negating its Stamina cost, providing a 50% boost to its damage output, and healing him for worth 30% of his Max HP. In addition, his first Constellation upgrade, ''Terror for the Evildoers'', allows him to obtain a stack after five Chilling Penalty-enhanced punches, halves its activation interval to 2.5 seconds, quadruples the damage multipler to 200%, and adds four seconds to the duration of Chilling Penalty should his strikes connect at least once, while his fourth enhances the healing to 50% (see "StatusBuff" below).

** He also shares some similarities with Kamisato Ayato. Both have nobility titles (Ayato is the Head of the Kamisato clan, and representative of the Yashiro Commission, while Wriothesley has recently been given the title of "Duke" in the Court of Fontaine in honor of his work at Fortress of Meropide), both have an eccentric sense of humor, and like drinking tea (Ayato is always seen with bubble tea, while Wriothesley loves tea). They both operate with hidden agendas for the benefit of their people. However, Wriothesley would avoid Sigewinne's weird smoothies in favor of his classic old teas, while Ayato would relish them the weirder they get.
** He also contrasts with [[Characters/GenshinImpactAratakiItto Itto]]'s archetype as the tall, muscular guys who are {{Reformed Criminal}}s, are natural leaders of their respective groups, and their Ascension Materials include the local beetles from their Nations. Regarding their differences, Itto wields a Geo Vision and a claymore, while Wriothesley has a Cryo Vision and a catalyst. Despite both being orphans, Itto's past and antics are portrayed in a comedic light, and he was HappilyAdopted by Granny Oni, while Wriothesley's past is serious and dramatic, was forced to murder his adoptive parents, and he tries to bury it the deepest. Itto is the leader of the Arataki Gang despite not being the most intelligent so he depends on Kuki Shinobu to keep them functioning, while Wriothesley uses his leadership skills to get talented people to work for him. Itto is clueless, immature, and a goofball, while Wriothesley is cunning, smart, and always focused on multitasking his duties.

** In a minor level, Sigewinne and him are on the same page when it comes to keep their keen natures under wraps, but Sigewinne is naturally kind and perky, while Wriothesley keeps an affable but stern front, which creates a notable contrast at first glance.



** Despite his difficulty with social behavior, Neuvillette trusts him a big deal, having met him during Wriothesley's trial. Wriothesley has enough closeness with him to joke during the Primordial Seawater crisis and makes a habit of sending him tea baskets.

** Despite his difficulty with social behavior, Neuvillette trusts him a big deal, having met him during Wriothesley's trial. Wriothesley has enough closeness with him to joke during the Primordial Seawater crisis and makes a habit of sending him tea baskets. In the epilogue of the 2024 Lantern Rite, Wriothesley is surprised when Neuvillette makes him a gift [[BrickJoke as a reference to the Legal Codices joke]], especially because it was Neuvillette trying to be funny and nice at the same time, despite his awkwardness.

* LookbehindYou: Defied. In Act 4, Wriothesley messes with [[spoiler:Lyney during their confrontation by telling him that his sister, whom he had previously kidnapped, might just appear behind him if he looked. Lyney takes a moment to assess Wriothesley's potential intentions and correctly concludes that he is simply trying to bait him and Lynette is still alive]].

* SecretlySelfish: A downplayed, comedic case. Wriothesley is very quick to offer people tea, ostensibly to be nice and show his hospitality. When he extends such an offer to Clorinde, she calls him on how he really just wants to have tea himself and is only offering her some to give himself an excuse to break out a fresh pot. He's somewhat amused that she's on to him.
