Normal Attacks

Normal Attack: Cutting Torrent

Normal Attack
Performs up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.

String	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
1-Hit	75.84%	26	175.02%/s	14.4	1

6-Hit	133.67%	66	121.52%/s	25.38	1

Charged Attack
Performs 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.

Riptide
Opponents affected by Riptide will suffer from AoE Hydro DMG effects when attacked by Tartaglia in various ways. DMG dealt in 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.

Type	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	GU	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
Aimed Shot	80.58%	25	193.39%/s	-	10 (Headshot: 30)	2
Fully Charged	210.8%	94	134.55%/s	1U	20 (Headshot: 60)	5
Riptide Flash	21.08% * 3	-	-	1U	-	-
Riptide Burst	105.4%	-	-	2U	-	-

Plunging 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.

Damage Type	Talent 9%	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
Plunge DMG	117.46%	10	2
Low Plunge DMG	234.86%	50	2
High Plunge DMG	293.36%	100	3

Notes

• Charged Attack frame counts are done using by holding and releasing the Normal Attack button.
• MV/s are calculated using the shortest possible frames without any animation cancels, for different cancels see below.
• After the first 0.7s, Aimed Shot damage and Gauge Unit will drop off 10% for every 0.05s the arrow travels in air (up to a total of 90%).
• Both Riptide Flash and Riptide Burst do not snapshot.
• Echoes of an Offering works weirdly with Tartaglia, for more information see this Vault Entry.
• How Tartaglia's N1 and N2 hits trigger Echoes of an Offering differs depending on the tester. For more information see this Vault Entry.

Skill

Foul Legacy: Raging Tide

Unleashes a set of weaponry made of pure water, dealing Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents and entering Melee Stance.
In this Stance, Tartaglia's Normal and Charged Attacks are converted to Hydro DMG that cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion and change as follows:

Attribute	Skill
Stance Change DMG (T9%)	122.4%
GU	2U
ICD	None
Damage Element	Hydro
Damage Type	Skill
Max Duration	30s
Preemptive CD	6s ~ 36s
Max CD	45s
Poise Damage	51.75
Impulse Type	3

Normal Attack
Performs up to 6 consecutive Hydro strikes.

String	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
1-Hit	71.42%	16	267.83%/s	40.68	3
2-Hit	76.47%	17	269.89%/s	43.56	3

6-Hit	65.1% + 69.2%	82	98.27%/s	37.08 + 39.42	6 x2
GU	1U	-	-	-	-

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a cross slash, dealing Hydro DMG.

String	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	GU	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
Charged Attack	110.6% + 132.25	55	264.93%/s	1U	63 + 75.33	2 + 6
N1C	314.27%	84	224.48%/s	1U	-	-
N2C	390.74%	100	234.44%/s	1U	-	-
N3C	494.23%	133	222.96%/s	1U	-	-

Riptide Slash
Hitting an opponent affected by Riptide with a melee attack unleashes a Riptide Slash that deals AoE Hydro DMG. DMG dealt in this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG, and can only occur once every 1.5s.

After 30s, or when the ability is unleashed again, this skill will end. Tartaglia will return to his Ranged Stance and this ability will enter CD. The longer Tartaglia stays in his Melee Stance, the longer the CD.
If the return to a ranged stance occurs automatically after 30s, the CD is even longer.

Attribute	Riptide Slash
Skill DMG (T9%)	110.6%
Particles	1 per proc
GU	1U
ICD	None
Snapshot	No
Damage Element	Hydro
Damage Type	Skill
Poise Damage	100
Impulse Type	2

Notes

• Gives 1 Hydro Particle upon proc. However, this Particle generation has an ICD of 3 seconds.
• Riptide and Riptide Slash can be applied and triggered by Aimed Shot, both Physical and Hydro, by switching to melee stance before the arrow hits an enemy.
• Using this Skill in quick succession after a partial Bow Stance attack string allows Childe to continue the attack string in Melee Stance.
• Using this Skill on the same frame as an attack or Burst input can result in a Ranged Burst while in Melee Stance, a Melee N1 in Ranged Stance, among other effects.
• Preemptive CD scales discretely, floored to an integer before cooldown reduction calculations.

Burst

Havoc: Obliteration

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

Ranged Stance: Flash of Havoc
Swiftly fires a Hydro-imbued magic arrow, dealing AoE Hydro DMG and applying the Riptide status.
Returns a portion of its Energy Cost after use.

Attribute	Ranged Burst
Skill DMG (T9%)	643.28%
GU	2U
ICD	None
Damage Element	Hydro
Damage Type	Burst
Energy Cost	60
Energy Refund	20
CD	15s
MV/s	611.3%/s
Poise Damage	200
Impulse Type	5

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 status and triggers a Hydro Explosion that deals AoE Hydro DMG.
DMG dealt in this way is considered Elemental Burst DMG.

Attribute	Melee Burst	Riptide Blast
Skill DMG (T9%)	788.8%	204%
GU	2U	2U
ICD	None	None
Damage Element	Hydro	Hydro
Damage Type	Burst	Burst
Energy Cost	60	--
CD	15s	--
MV/s	505.7%/s	--
Poise Damage	250	100
Impulse Type	7	7
