Build Notes

Tangtang—endgame sub dps

Rank #3

This endgame build maximizes Tangtang's personal Cryo damage and her team's Arts damage through Brigand's Calling's debuff. The Bonekrusha set rewards her combo rotation with a massive Battle Skill damage spike, while LYNX Slab serves as a flexible off-piece for main stat scaling. It is ideal for high-difficulty content where both damage and utility are required.

Brigand's Calling is chosen as the best weapon because its passive grants Cryo DMG and applies an Arts DMG Taken debuff, doubling down on Tangtang's role as a debuffer and personal damage dealer.

The Bonekrusha gear set complements her playstyle: casting Combo Skill (Whirlpool) triggers the set bonus that buffs her next Battle Skill (Waterspout), dealing massive damage while applying debuffs.

For alternatives, Home Longing provides strong personal Cryo DMG but lacks team utility, while Opus: The Living and Long Road are more accessible options that still boost her damage, though they miss the debuff support.

The Bonekrusha set's 2-piece gives a flat ATK boost and a stacking Battle Skill DMG buff after using Combo Skill, perfectly syncing with Tangtang's Whirlpool → Waterspout rotation.
LYNX Slab is used as an off-piece because its Main Attribute% increase provides more overall damage than a second Bonekrusha core piece with more saturated Battle Skill DMG.

Tangtang—early game sub dps

Best in Slot

This early game build aims to boost Tangtang's damage quickly using the craftable Opus: The Living weapon and the Roving MSGR gear set. The set's Agility bonus enhances her Cryo damage, making her a solid sub-DPS even before acquiring endgame gear. It provides a smooth transition into harder content.

Opus: The Living is chosen for early game because it boosts Arts DMG and provides Agility, both directly improving Tangtang's damage output.

The Roving MSGR set gives a flat Agility bonus and a conditional Physical DMG buff. While the Physical buff isn't ideal for Cryo, the Agility increase outweighs other early sets like Mordvolt Insulation.

No alternatives are listed for early game as the build is focused on the most accessible and effective options available at that stage.

Even though the Roving MSGR set bonus boosts Physical DMG, its large Agility increase makes it Tangtang's best early game option for scaling her Cryo damage.
Opus: The Living is a craftable weapon from the Arsenal Exchange, making it easily accessible for new players.
