Focuses on Normal Attack DMG, ideal for the 5 Normal + 1 Charged combo. Needs high Energy Recharge to offset its energy-hungry passive.

6
Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage

CRIT DMG

Custom-tailored to her kit, likely enhancing Skill duration or melee burst damage. Check specific interactions.

CRIT Rate

Likely a support or DPS bow with ATK% or CRIT; verify passive synergy with melee stance.

13
Blackcliff Warbow
Blackcliff Warbow

CRIT DMG

High CRIT DMG and ATK boosts on kills; shines in mob-heavy content, less effective vs single bosses.

14
Chain Breaker
Chain BreakerR5

ATK%

An event bow with ATK% that may reinforce Normal Attacks; good budget pick if no 5-star.

15
Windblume Ode
Windblume OdeR5

Elemental Mastery

Free-to-play option granting Elemental Mastery and an ATK buff after using Skill—lines up with stance change.

16
Hamayumi
HamayumiR5

ATK%

Boosts Normal/Charged Attack DMG when energy is full, but conflicts with the burst-first rotation; manage energy carefully.

17
Mouun's Moon
Mouun's Moon

ATK%

Scales Burst DMG off team energy; pairs with high-cost teammates but needs Energy Recharge to maintain.

18
Rust
RustR5

ATK%

Powerful Normal Attack boost but suppresses Charged Attack; only use with the 5 Normal + 1 Charged combo.

Artifacts

4-piece boosts Hydro DMG and ATK after Normal/Charged Attacks; matches the melee combo pacing perfectly.

4-piece grants +30% Normal/Charged Attack DMG after Skill; ideal because the stance change is exactly that trigger.

A 2-piece Hydro DMG set (e.g., Heart of Depth, Nymph's Dream) for a straightforward 15% Hydro bonus.

2-piece boosts Burst DMG; good if Melee Burst is a core nuke. 4-piece can support teammates, but 2-piece is usually enough.

2-piece ATK% and 4-piece boosts Normal/Charged Attack DMG at the cost of 15 energy; conflicts with burst energy needs, so only use if running high ER.

Skill Duration per Constellation:
C0: 7s, 9s, or 12s.
C1: 9s, 11s, or 14s.

Melee Burst: Use only when one rotation clears. Requires high Energy Recharge (170–190%) to sustain uptime. Always start rotations with Ranged Burst—it refunds energy to maintain the rotation.

Skill Combo:
- 2 Normal Attack + 1 Charged Attack (Optimal): highest damage but consumes more stamina.
- 3 Normal Attack + 1 Charged Attack (Recommended): slightly less damage, stamina-neutral, works with most weapons.
- 5 Normal Attack + 1 Charged Attack (Recommended with Rust or Thundering Pulse).

Tartaglia is an on-field Hydro DPS and enabler. Works best in Vaporize team with Xiangling, allowing him to Vaporize his Burst while enabling consistent Vaporize for her.

Weapon Choices (calculated with Bennett, shorter rotation):
Polar Star: Dynamic stacking alongside Nymph's Dream (4).
King's Squire: Swap double swirl setup to use a Charged Attack instead of Elemental Skill.
Hunter's Path: Makes Elemental Mastery highly valuable, especially in N2C or N1C rotations.
The Viridescent Hunt: Grouping passive boosts Riptide damage. At [R5] nearly matches The First Great Magic.
Blackcliff Warbow: Assumed 1 stack. At [R5] matches Amos' Bow.
Scion of the Blazing Sun: First Charged Attack does not get passive. At [R5] matches The Viridescent Hunt [R1]; prefer Battle Pass bow.
Hamayumi: Passive not doubled.
Mouun's Moon: Assumed 260 total Burst cost. At [R5] matches Scion of the Blazing Sun.
Detailed calculation sheet thanks to Kaori.

Artifact Sets:
+15% Hydro DMG (2) +18% ATK (2): Only 1-2 substats behind Heart of Depth (4); good if you already have strong pieces.
Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4): Requires ~150% Energy Recharge for consistent Burst per rotation, falling behind other options. Outperforms Heart of Depth (4) in single‑rotation (ignoring Energy Recharge).
