Cool-Color Capture
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
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.

Character Guide • Build: Charlotte | Update Date: 07/06/2025 | Editor: .mizunek0
• Best Weapon(s):
Charlotte's overall best weapon, helps with her high Energy Recharge requirements, as well as provides additional healing, despite having HP% main stat.
Oathsworn Eye
Worse than Prototype Amber in terms of Energy, but a useful weapon nonetheless thanks to its passive and ATK% substat.
Skyward Atlas and Memory of Dust
ATK% stat sticks with passives that offer no team team utility.
• Replacement Weapon(s):
Great general option that can reduce both her and teammates Energy Recharge requirements by a large margin, especially with high refinements. Keep in mind that Charlotte needs a considerable amount of crit rate for this (approximately 50% for R5 Favonius Codex)
Alternatively any ATK% or Energy Recharge substat weapon can work.
• Best Artifact Set:

• Notes:
Solo Cryo: 180-190% (Prototype Amber), 220-230% (Other weapons);
Double Cryo: 160-170% (Prototype Amber), 200-210% (Other weapons);
Triple Cryo: ~150% (Prototype Amber), ~180% (Other weapons)
As a last option, you can go for 2x ATK%, 2x ATK% artifact sets but generally its not recommended.

Namecard
Charlotte: Exclusive
Namecard style. "One, I've written an exclusive, and it's going to generate a lot of buzz for sure! Two, the newspaper said the situation is developing too slowly, so they're changing to a press release instead... Three, the person writing the press release will be in the Opera Epiclese as the defendant tomorrow, so they've decided to run my piece after all!"

"All Is Overt Through My Lens"
DefaultCharlotte's outfit. "If your reporting isn't real enough, it's because you're not close enough." Charlotte often has this to say about journalism. Sometimes, however, she adds: "But of course, maybe it's that the lens you're using just isn't that great."
Stories
In the Court of Fontaine, a new "story" is born every minute. For example, Romaritime Harbor might suddenly swell with new ships, crewed by sailors of obviously non-Fontainian origin. Some fishmonger in Poisson might suddenly buy three months' worth of fish in a single month, or countless flyers boasting of a certain place where especially delicious fish can be found might suddenly appear in the Court... In the eyes of a mediocre reporter or ordinary city folk, these are "independent" tales, just like there will always be waves rippling across the sea's surface — such ordinary events are barely worth paying attention to at all. Clumsier journalists might even chase these waves, and dispiritedly end up merely following the wave's patterns, constantly pumping out "surface-level stories" of little interest. But in Charlotte's eyes, these waves are but the superficial representation of other forces. What is causing them to crest and break? That is the story she seeks. Perhaps it is the wild winds wailing over the surface, or perhaps they are due to the Thalatta Submarine Canyon's complex seabed topography. Of course, you can't rule out the possibility of tremors from the Elton Trench either... These stories are the "deep dives" Charlotte desires. A reporter should be an agile "seeker" — not a mere gauche "recorder." This, then, is Charlotte's "work doctrine." As to how she avoids being swept up in her "deep dives"... well, that's up to Euphrasie and her fellow citizens!
