Build Notes

Tangtang — endgame sub dps

Rank #3

Tangtang’s endgame sub‑DPS build revolves around the Bonekrusha set and Brigand’s Calling to maximize the damage of her Waterspout generation. The Bonekrusha set gives a large Battle Skill DMG boost after casting her Combo Skill, which directly enhances her core rotation: spawn a Whirlpool with River, To Me!, then cast IMA WAVERIDAAH! to convert it into a debuffing Waterspout. With Brigand’s Calling, each Battle Skill also debuffs enemies to take more Arts damage, turning Tangtang into a potent hybrid who amplifies the entire team’s output while dealing significant Cryo AoE damage herself. The build prioritizes Agility for her main stat scaling and Cryo DMG for her elemental attacks.

Brigand’s Calling is the premier choice because it simultaneously buffs her own Cryo damage and amplifies the team’s Arts damage via its unique Susceptibility on‑hit effect, aligning with her dual debuff/damage identity.

The Bonekrusha gear set was selected because its 2‑piece ATK increase and the Combo → Battle Skill damage boost stack seamlessly with her natural playstyle, pushing her burst damage to its ceiling.

Alternative weapons like Home Longing focus more on raw Cryo and Nature DMG boosts, while Opus: The Living offers easy access to Arts DMG and ATK buffs but trades away the extra team debuff.

This build centres on the Bonekrusha set’s effect: after using her Combo Skill, the next Battle Skill deals massive bonus damage, perfectly matching her Whirlpool → Waterspout rotation.
The Brigand’s Calling handcannon further bolsters her Cryo output and applies a team‑wide Arts DMG Taken debuff, cementing her sub‑DPS role.

Tangtang — early game sub dps

Best in Slot

This early game build sets Tangtang up as a reliable Cryo sub‑DPS using the Aburrey’s Legacy gear set and the Opus: The Living handcannon. The set’s flat Skill DMG increase and conditional ATK% boost reward her frequent skill casts, while the weapon’s Arts DMG and CRIT/ATK procs give a balanced offense. Although it lacks the specialised Battle Skill synergy of the Bonekrusha set, it provides a solid foundation that helps Tangtang contribute decent damage and apply her debuffs across all content until the endgame build becomes accessible.

The Opus: The Living weapon is chosen for its early availability and strong Arts DMG boost, complementing Tangtang’s Cryo/Arts hybrid nature. Its Infliction essence adds extra ATK whenever an Arts Reaction occurs, and her frequent Cryo applications make this easy to maintain.

Aburrey’s Legacy is selected because it universally buffs all skill damage and builds ATK stacks upon skill usage, which synergizes with her need to constantly cycle through Combo, Battle, and Ultimate skills.

The Roving MSGR Fists T1 glove is used as an off‑piece to increase raw Attack, which is valuable before dedicated Cryo‑boosting pieces become available.

The Aburrey’s Legacy set provides a flat Skill DMG bonus and further ATK% when casting any skill, offering a straightforward boost for new players before accessing Bonekrusha.
Pairing it with Opus: The Living grants easy Arts DMG and a conditional ATK buff when Arts Reactions are triggered, which Tangtang can frequently activate with her Cryo Infliction.
