This is Tartaglia's best build thanks to the effects of the Heart of Depth which allows him to have increased Normal and Charged Attack DMG after using his Elemental Skill.
Main DPS | |
---|---|
1st | Elemental Skill |

A lot of Tartaglia's DMG will come from his Elemental Skill, so prioritize in leveling that up followed by your Elemental Burst. Level up your Normal Attacks if you use Tartaglia's Charged Shots as his Normal Attack Talent multipliers do not affect his Melee Stance.

Tartaglia works well with Xiangling as he can keep the enemy affected by Hydro while Xiangling deals off-field Elemental Burst DMG to enemies. Bennett can provide Healing, ATK buffs, and acts as Xiangling's battery while Kazuha can increase Elemental DMG.

This team comp works similarly to the Vaporize team and works better on multiple enemies. Beidou provides off-field Electro DMG for Tartaglia to trigger Vaporize. Fischl provides additional Electro DMG while acting as Beidou's battery to recover Elemental Burst energy.

Tartaglia can function as the main Hydro applier in any Bloom team comp, whether if it's Fridge teams, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon. His damage may be lower compared to a standard vaporize Team comp, but his teammates will make up for it.

Tartaglia's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Foul Legacy: Tide Withholder Decreases the CD of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by 20%. |
C2 |
Foul Legacy: Understream When opponents affected by Riptide are defeated, Tartaglia regenerates 4 Elemental Energy. |
C3 |
Abyssal Mayhem: Vortex of Turmoil Increases the Level of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Abyssal Mayhem: Hydrospout If Tartaglia is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide's Melee Stance, triggers Riptide Slash against opponents on the field affected by Riptide every 4s, otherwise, triggers Riptide Flash. Riptide Slashes and Riptide Flashes triggered by this Constellation effect are not subject to the time intervals that would typically apply to these two Riptide effects, nor do they have any effects on those intervals. |
C5 |
Havoc: Formless Blade Increases the Level of Havoc: Obliteration by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Havoc: Annihilation When Havoc: Obliteration is cast in Melee Stance, the CD of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide is reset. This effect will only take place once Tartaglia returns to his Ranged Stance. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★☆ |
• Decreases the cooldown of Tartaglia's Elemental Skill. • Allows you to use Melee Stance in longer periods of time. |
C6 | ★★★ |
• Resets the cooldown of Tartaglia's Elemental Skill via Elemental Burst. • Lets Tartaglia use Melee Stance without ever needing to wait. |
Tartaglia's C1 reduces his Elemental Skill cooldown especially after exiting Melee Stance. This can be helpful if you've used his Elemental Skill for a long time.

The key to maximizing damage with Tartaglia is applying his unique debuff, Riptide.
Enemies hit with Tartaglia's Charged Shots (Bow Stance), Elemental Burst (Bow Stance), and Critical Hits from Normal and Charged Attacks (Melee Stance) will mark opponents with Riptide.
Depending on how Tartaglia triggers the effects of the Riptide mark, Tartaglia will deal additional instances of Hydro DMG.
Tartaglia's Riptide 101 |
---|
![]() Riptide Slash: AoE Hydro explosion by hitting an opponent marked with Riptide while on Melee Stance. |
![]() Riptide Burst: Defeating opponents marked with Riptide will unleash an AoE Hydro explosion, which spreads Riptide marks to nearby enemies. |
![]() Riptide Blast: Marked opponents when hit by Tartaglia's Elemental Burst while on Melee Stance triggers an AoE Hydro explosion, but clears the Riptide mark. |
![]() Riptide Flash: Charged Shots on an opponent marked with Riptide will trigger three minor Hydro explosions. |
![]() |
Hitting enemies marked with Riptide will trigger independent instances of Riptide Slashes. This means that all marked enemies in close proximity will unleash a barrage of AoE Hydro DMG, and if defeated, will trigger Riptide Bursts too!
Try to group enemies as much as possible to exponentially increase Tartaglia's DPS. You can easily do this by using Anemo characters with grouping crowd control skills like Kazuha or Sucrose.
While in melee stance, Tartaglia can close in on enemies and trigger Riptides. However, the longer he remains in melee stance the longer its cooldown becomes, so be sure to swap stances to easily manage his cooldowns.
It is recommended to stay in Melee Stance for around 10-15 seconds at maximum so that your Elemental Skill cooldown would not go beyond 20+ seconds.
This synergizes well with the artifact buff duration of Heart of Depth, and weapon effects of bows like Thundering Pulse.
After unlocking Tartaglia's sixth and final constellation, Havoc: Annihilation, using Tartaglia's melee Elemental Burst will reset his Elemental Skill cooldown.
This can only be done after returning to bow stance, which means your melee stance will always be up after using your melee Elemental Burst.
Talent Description |
---|
Perform up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charge Attack Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, the power of Hydro will accumulate on the arrowhead. An arrow fully charged with the torrent will deal Hydro DMG and apply the Riptide status. Plunge Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact. When Tartaglia is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide's Melee Stance, he cannot perform a plunging attack. Riptide Opponents affected by Riptide will suffer from AoE Hydro DMG effects when attacked by Tartaglia in various ways. DMG dealt this way is considered Normal Attack DMG. ・Riptide Flash: A fully-charged Aimed Shot that hits an opponent affected by Riptide deals consecutive bouts of AoE DMG. Can occur once every 0.7s. ・Riptide Burst: Defeating an opponent affected by Riptide creates a Hydro Burst that inflicts the Riptide status on nearby opponents hit. |

・Normal Attack: Perform up to 6 consecutive Hydro strikes. ・Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a cross slash, dealing Hydro DMG. ・Riptide Slash: Hitting an opponent affected by Riptide with a melee attack unleashes a Riptide Slash that deals AoE Hydro DMG.

Performs different attacks based on what stance Tartaglia is when casting.

Returns a portion of its Energy Cost after use. ・Melee Stance: Light of Obliteration: Performs a slash with a large AoE, dealing massive Hydro DMG to all surrounding opponents, which triggers Riptide Blast. ・Riptide Blast: When the obliterating waters hit an opponent affected by Riptide, it clears their Riptide statis and triggers a Hydro Explosion that deals Aoe Hydro DMG. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Burst DMG. Flavor Text: Rushing waters are rarely seen in this snowy homeland. Perhaps his ability to command water is due to his understanding of just how precious it is. |

About Childe: He's simple of mind and not that strong of body. Naming him to the lowest-ranked seat lowered the Harbingers' collective prestige. Thankfully, I'm no longer part of that group. |
![]() |
The Fatui harbinger? He helped me out once — unwittingly. I was planning a deep-reaching investigation into the former owner of the Yanshang Teahouse, but our harbinger friend got to him first. He showed up demanding payment of his debt, and also exposed his accounting fraud, which got him thrown in jail. That made it very easy for me to take over Yanshang Teahouse myself, and it's proven to be a very useful base. |
![]() |
Composed: That rascal from Snezhnaya has yet to depart from Liyue? Heh, no matter. Just let me know if he gives you any trouble. I shall deal with the matter swiftly.
Drinks: It's said that Childe and his reputation have yet again stirred up waves among the inner ranks of the Fatui. Knowing his type, he will be sure to swiftly depose anyone who dares to challenge his actions. Hmm... Come to think of it, there will be a lot of interesting news to be heard the next time we gather for drinks. Care to join me when the time comes, Traveler? |
Character | In-Game Thoughts |
---|---|
![]() |
About Arlecchino About The Knave: Look, I've got nothing against people who have their own agendas — I myself joined the Fatui to get more experience in combat. But I don't like her at all. If she stood to benefit from betraying others, she'd turn against the Tsaritsa in a heartbeat. There isn't a sane bone in her body. |
![]() |
About Capitano About The Captain: I've seen him in battle before, and oh what a sight it was. Perhaps I'm ranked too low for him to notice me right now. Well, he may not recognize my strengths yet, but one day, I'll show him what I'm made of. |
![]() |
About Columbina About Damselette: The Fatui Harbingers are ranked by strength, and I have no idea why that girl is No. 3. I'd test my skills with every Harbinger who ranks above me if I had the chance, but when it comes to her... something just doesn't feel right. Anyway, you should be careful around her. |
![]() |
About Dottore About The Doctor: I heard that he took segments of himself at different ages, made prostheses out of them, and assigned different tasks to each one. I know... all my comrades are a little weird. Come to think of it, if I met my own prosthesis... Hah, we'd have to fight then and there to decide which one of us gets to survive. |
![]() |
About La Signora About The Fair Lady: I never got along with her, you know that. I guess there's not much more worth saying about her at this point. When you're a harbinger, you have to accept that death could come at any time... But don't worry about me. No matter what happens, I'll do whatever it takes to keep myself alive. |
![]() |
About Pantalone About Regrator: Oh, now that guy has a head full of grandiose plans fueled by raw ambition. I don't understand a word he says once he starts talking about his theories... Eh, but as long as he keeps our cash reserves stocked up, I'm not complaining. |
![]() |
About Pierro About The Jester: He was the first ever Fatui Harbinger, and today he is our leader. He only appears on important occasions. As for his accomplishments... To be honest, I don't really care. I owe my loyalty and devotion to the Tsaritsa, no one else. |
![]() |
About Pulcinella About The Rooster: I don't know what his motivations could be, but he seems genuine about wanting to help me. He treats me just like family. Oh, and speaking of family — Tonia and Teucer are always telling me about the pastries and other gifts he brings them when they write. So while I've been away from Snezhnaya, he's kept his promise to take care of my family. |
![]() |
About Sandrone About Marionette: She always seems engrossed in her research. Hmm... I wonder if those machines have anything to do with her? Anyway, I've only met her a few times, but every time she looked like she wanted to murder me. I have no idea what I possibly could have done to annoy her, though. |
![]() |
About Skirk It’s been years since I last saw my master. I should hope that next we meet, I’ll at least be able to force her to use both hands to beat me… |
![]() |
About Tsaritsa Her Royal Highness the Tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. Too gentle, in fact, and that’s why she had to harden herself. Likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. And because she made an enemy of the world, I now have a friend in you. |
![]() |
About Varka Varka? Just the thought of one day going head-to-head with him in combat, the fabled Knight of Boreas himself, titan of the Knights of Favonius… It makes me buzz with excitement. It’s a beautiful life we live in this world. |
![]() |
About Wanderer About The Balladeer: After he took the Gnosis, we lost all contact with him. Now comes the task of trying to hunt it down and get it back... I actually don't mind it — it means I get to travel all over. Wonder if I'll run into you somewhere along the way? |
![]() |
About Zhongli Pondering: There's far more to that man than meets the eye. As for the extent of his power... lots to look forward to, I think. Challenge: Tell me how has Mr. Zhongli been lately? Not bad, you say? Seems he's had no problem acclimating to "mortal" life. Hmph, he sure had me fooled. Such a fiasco mustn't be so easily forgiven! The only way to reconciliation is fierce combat! What do you mean I'm no match for him? Hahaha... |
