Charlotte’s best weapon is the Skyward Atlas thanks to its attack and elemental damage bonus buffs. Pair this with a combination of Blizzard Strayer and Maiden Beloved artifacts depending on your team composition, availability, and whether or not you’ve unlocked Diversified Investigation. Focus on attack%, cryo damage bonus, healing bonus, and energy recharge for artifact stats.
When leveling up her talents, we recommend prioritizing her elemental burst first, as it’s crucial to make the most of her healing potential. After that, you can level her elemental skill, but it’s not integral, as it only boosts her personal damage, which isn’t too important.

How do I use Charlotte?
Use Charlotte’s normal attack and elemental skill to apply the cryo status to enemies and deal cryo damage, while also marking them for further damage from Monsieur Verite. Pop her ultimate to provide AoE cryo damage as well as healing for your team while she’s off-field, letting your other characters do massive damage through elemental reactions.
What are the best weapons for Charlotte?
Charlotte’s best five-star weapon is the Skyward Atlas, which boosts her attack and her elemental damage bonus. As she is a four-star, she doesn’t have a signature weapon, but there are plenty of good choices depending on how you want to use her.
Kagura’s Verity is the best choice for buffing her skill damage thanks to its crit damage stat and passive. Lean fully into Charlotte’s cryo damage capability by amassing three stacks of Kagura Dance and freeze out the competition!
KQM makes a great case for Prototype Amber as the best four-star catalyst for Charlotte, even claiming that it’s her best-in-slot weapon for healing. It massively helps with her energy recharge demand and its passive boosts her healing.

Depending on her role in the party, we recommend a full set of Blizzard Strayer, a full set of Maiden Beloved, or a combination of the two for Charlotte. Her damage and her healing output both scale based on her attack stat, so keep that in mind when rolling sub-stats or choosing alternatives.
