Explanation
Brigand's Calling is chosen because it buffs Tangtang's personal damage and provides an Arts DMG Taken debuff for the team, amplifying her sub-DPS role.
Home Longing from the Protocol Pass is a solid substitute with Cryo DMG Boost. Opus: The Living is a good free option from Arsenal Exchange, while Howling Guard is a lower-rarity alternative.
The Bonekrusha set's bonus triggers when using Combo Skill first, which is Tangtang's intended playstyle to generate Whirlpools before Battle Skill, maximizing Waterspout damage.
Notes
- The Bonekrusha set boosts ATK by 15% and grants a stackable buff to Battle Skill DMG after using Combo Skill, synergizing perfectly with Tangtang's rotation.
- Alternative gear options: Type 50 Yinglung Heavy Armor for better Ultimate gain, LYNX Gloves for faster Ultimate, MI Security Gloves for stronger Battle Skill, or Redeemer Gloves for higher Ultimate damage, though they trade off other aspects.

Build Insights
Tangtang functions as a sub-DPS and debuffer, applying Arts Susceptibility to increase team Arts damage while providing AoE crowd control with her Ultimate. She fits best in Arts-focused teams and can generate Whirlpools for synergy with other Cryo or Arts characters. Her rotation involves creating a Whirlpool with Combo Skill, then using Battle Skill to create Waterspouts that debuff enemies, followed by Ultimate to lock down enemies and create a damage window for hypercarries.
Core Mechanics
- Tangtang creates Whirlpools with her Combo Skill, which can be consumed by her Battle Skill to create Waterspouts that apply Cryo Infliction and Arts Susceptibility.
- Her Ultimate pauses all enemy actions in a wide area and deals Cryo damage; if the controlled operator performs a dive attack during the Ult, it ends early and creates additional Waterspouts.
- The talent Riot Bringer allows dive attacks during Ultimate to convert nearby Whirlpools into enhanced Waterspouts.
Scaling
- Tangtang scales well with investment in her Battle Skill and Ultimate, which are her main damage sources. Her support capabilities are strong even at lower levels due to innate debuffs.
- She excels in team compositions that can provide Cryo Infliction or Arts Burst DMG to trigger her Combo Skill, making her a late-game powerhouse when built properly.
Character Notes
Tangtang is a 6-star Cryo Caster who excels as a supportive sub-DPS. She utilizes Whirlpools and Waterspouts to apply Cryo Infliction and Arts Susceptibility, weakening enemies for her team. Her Ultimate provides strong AoE crowd control by pausing all enemy actions, creating a safe damage window. She is highly flexible and can fit into many team compositions, especially those focused on Arts damage.
Playstyle
- Start by applying Cryo Infliction or dealing Arts Burst DMG to trigger her Combo Skill, which creates a Whirlpool.
- Immediately follow up with her Battle Skill to consume the Whirlpool and create Waterspouts that apply Arts Susceptibility (requires multiple Waterspouts for the debuff).
- Use her Ultimate to freeze a large area, then perform a dive attack to end it early and spawn additional Waterspouts for even more damage and debuffs.
- Against multiple enemies, casting Battle Skill directly can create multiple Waterspouts if it hits several targets, bypassing the need for a Whirlpool.
Strengths
- Provides a unique Arts Susceptibility debuff that significantly boosts team Arts damage.
- Excellent AoE crowd control with her Ultimate, which pauses all enemy actions.
- Flexible plug-in debuffer that fits into many team compositions, especially Arts-focused ones.
- Decent personal damage that supplements her support role.
Weaknesses
- Requires careful rotation to maximize her debuff: single-target scenarios need a Whirlpool first, otherwise the debuff may not apply.
- Her support capabilities are less effective against enemies immune to Cryo or crowd control.
- Relies on team synergy to trigger her Combo Skill efficiently (Cryo Infliction or Arts Burst DMG).
Team Guide

Solidification Team centers on supporting Yvonne as the main DPS. Tangtang inflicts Arts Susceptibility and provides crowd-control, allowing Yvonne to safely execute her Ultimate. Gilberta and Xaihi enable the Solidification reaction and provide Cryo buffs.
Explanation
Tangtang's CC and Arts Susceptibility boost Yvonne's damage while protecting her during Ultimate cast. Gilberta applies Nature Infliction to trigger Solidification with Cryo. Xaihi supplies Cryo Amp and additional debuffs to maximize reaction damage.
Strengths
- Safe execution for Yvonne's powerful Ultimate.
- Solidification reaction yields high burst damage.
Weaknesses
- Requires precise timing to land Solidification before Yvonne's damage window.
Rotation
- 1 Cast Xaihi's and Gilberta's Battle Skills at combat start.
- 2 Perform a Final Strike with Yvonne, then cast her Battle Skill after Gilberta applies Nature Infliction to trigger Solidification.
- 3 If Solidification applied, basic attack to immediately skip to Yvonne's next Final Strike. Use Xaihi's Ultimate if available.
- 4 Trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill, then Yvonne's Combo Skill to reapply Solidification.
- 5 Use Xaihi's Combo Skill for a Cryo Infliction stack.
- 6 Trigger Tangtang's Combo Skill, then cast her Battle Skill for Arts Susceptibility.
- 7 Cast Tangtang's Ultimate for crowd-control, then Yvonne's Ultimate for massive damage.
Leverage Solidification reaction by stacking Nature and Cryo, then let Yvonne detonate with her Ultimate.
best burst_team
Tangtang Hypercarry Team maximizes Tangtang's personal damage. Gilberta applies Corrosion and Arts Susceptibility, Perlica provides Electrification, and Xaihi grants Cryo Amp and Cryo DMG buffs. Tangtang's quick burst combo fits within the short window of all buffs and debuffs.
Explanation
All three supports stack debuffs (Corrosion, Electrification, Cryo Amp) and buffs (Cryo DMG, Arts Amp) in a tight window. Tangtang's fast rotation—Final Strikes, Combo Skill, Battle Skill, and Ultimate—allows her to deal massive burst damage before buffs expire.
Strengths
- Extremely high burst damage potential.
- Synergizes multiple debuff types for multiplicative damage.
Weaknesses
- Very tight timing; rotation must be executed quickly.
- Relies on multiple limited 5-star supports.
Rotation
- 1 Cast Xaihi's Battle Skill to prepare the Auxiliary Crystal.
- 2 Complete a basic attack sequence with Tangtang up to Final Strike. Do not use Perlica's Combo Skill yet.
- 3 Perform another Final Strike with Tangtang. Use Xaihi's Ultimate if available.
- 4 Cast Tangtang's Battle Skill to apply Cryo Infliction.
- 5 Use Gilberta's Battle Skill to start channeling.
- 6 Trigger Perlica's, Xaihi's, and Tangtang's Combo Skills. Ensure Xaihi's hits before Gilberta triggers Corrosion.
- 7 When ready, cast Gilberta's Ultimate first, then Tangtang's Ultimate.
- 8 During Tangtang's Ultimate, perform a Dive Attack to trigger her Riot Bringer Talent.
Stack all buffs and debuffs in a short window, then execute Tangtang's full combo for devastating burst.
Team Insights
Tangtang is a versatile Cryo sub-DPS or hypercarry. Her kit excels at applying Cryo Infliction, Arts Susceptibility, and crowd-control. Teams are built around enabling her reaction potential or supporting a main DPS like Last Rite or Yvonne. She fits well in double Cryo compositions and burst-oriented setups that can stack debuffs quickly.
Synergy Patterns
- Pairs excellently with other Cryo units like Last Rite for dual Cryo susceptibility.
- Works with Nature characters (Yvonne, Gilberta) to trigger Solidification reaction.
- Benefits from support buffers/debuffers like Xaihi (Cryo Amp) and Perlica (Electrification).
Tips
- Control Tangtang to easily execute Dive Attacks during other characters' Ultimate animations.
- Prioritize building Energy Recharge to keep her Ultimate up for crowd-control and burst.
- In hypercarry teams, practice the rotation to ensure all debuffs land before her damage window closes.
