Charlotte GUIDE
Understand Charlotte
Useful when…
- Healing nearby party members with her Burst and sustaining active characters inside its field.
- Applying periodic Cryo damage to Skill-marked opponents.
- Using tap Skill mode for a quick snapshot or hold mode to apply a longer mark.
- Dealing Cryo damage with Catalyst attacks and periodic Pneuma-aligned Charged Attack effects.
Burst healing and field
Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation deals area Cryo damage and heals nearby party members based on Charlotte's ATK when cast. It creates a Newsflash Field for 4 seconds. The field periodically deals Cryo damage to opponents and continuously restores HP to active characters inside it, based on ATK. The Burst costs 80 Energy and has a 20-second cooldown.
Skill modes and marks
Tap Framing: Freezing Point Composition snapshots opponents in front of Charlotte, deals area Cryo damage, and applies Snappy Silhouette to at most five opponents. Its mark deals periodic Cryo damage for 6 seconds. Hold mode enters a viewfinder state lasting up to 15 seconds and can select up to five opponents. Releasing before Finisher Frame applies Snappy Silhouette; reaching Finisher Frame instead applies Focused Impression, which lasts 12 seconds and deals 0.406 damage per tick versus 0.392 per tick for Snappy Silhouette. The longer duration and modestly higher per-tick damage accompany a listed cooldown increase from 12 to 18 seconds. The hold can select up to five opponents; it does not mean every opponent will necessarily be locked or marked.
Attacks and party composition passive
Charlotte's Normal Attacks deal Cryo damage. Her Charged Attacks cost 50 Stamina and deal area Cryo damage after preparation; at six-second intervals, a Charged Attack also calls down a Pneuma-aligned Spiritbreath Thorn for area Cryo damage. Diversified Investigation grants Healing Bonus based on the number of Fontainians other than Charlotte, or Cryo DMG Bonus based on the number of non-Fontainians; each category grants 5%, 10%, or 15% for one, two, or three qualifying characters.
Investment and camera mode
ATK supports the healing from her Burst. Burst levels support its healing and field effects; Skill levels support its snapshot and mark damage. Ascension and combat talents are separate progression tracks. With the Special Analysis Zoom Lens active, First-Person Shutter says her hold Skill cannot trigger its original effects and instead enables a different photo-taking mode.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Fully reaching Finisher Frame applies a mark with a 12-second duration and modestly higher damage per tick, while the listed cooldown increases to 18 seconds.
- Ongoing Burst healing applies only to active characters inside its four-second field.
- The Burst costs 80 Energy.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Calling Focused Impression substantially stronger based on per-tick damage alone; its listed damage per tick is only modestly higher, with a longer duration.
- Assuming every opponent in the hold viewfinder will be locked or marked.
- Expecting ongoing Burst healing outside the Newsflash Field or for off-field characters.

Framing: Freezing Point Composition · Elemental skill
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.

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...
