Charlotte is a 4-star Cryo character from Fontaine who uses a catalyst, released in version 4.2.

Charlotte build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Angelos' Heptades is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Charlotte's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Crane's Echoing Call, Oathsworn Eye and Skyward Atlas come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Charlotte, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Finale of the Deep Galleries on Charlotte, with Blizzard Strayer and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, Healing Bonus circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Skill

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!"
