Water
Cutting Torrent
Performs up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
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.
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.

Foul Legacy: Raging Tide
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:
Normal Attack
Performs up to 6 consecutive Hydro strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a cross slash, dealing Hydro DMG.
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.
He chose the bow as his weapon precisely to overcome his weakness with it. But a serious fight demands that he gets serious...

Havoc: Obliteration
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.
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.
Rushing waters are rarely seen in his snowy homeland. Perhaps his ability to command water is due to his understanding of just how precious it is.

Builds
Childe (Vaporize Burst) | Build
Character Guide • Build: Tartaglia | Update Date: 09/02/2023 | Editor: ultimate.noob
• Best Weapon(s):
Best overall for a main DPS build as the effect is easy to keep up with Childe on the field.
Aqua Simulacra
Best overall for a burst DPS build as you don't need to fulfill any conditions to keep the effect active
• Replacement Weapon(s):
These weapons are comparable to Polar Star and Aqua to the point that using any of them is valid instead of pulling for 1 specifically.
Viridescent Hunt
Best 4 star option and easy to get with battle pass. Effect helps grouping and the main stat helps your Crit Rate needs.
Blackcliff, Mouun's Moon, Prototype Crescent, Rust, Stringless
Alternative F2P options depending on what you have available. Dmg is comparable between these.

ER (to an extent)
• Talent Priority
2) Elemental Burst: Havoc - Obliteration
3) Normal Attack: Cutting Torrent
• Notes:
Burst and Skill contribute roughly the same amount of damage in the main DPS rotation, so both should be levelled equally. If built as a Burst DPS then obviously Burst should be the primary talent. If you plan to use Childe on-field during his downtime you will also want to level his Normals to help his Charged Shot dmg.
Childe's Artifacts:
You can use 4 piece Heart of Depth, 2 piece HoD with Atk% or Noblesse, or 4 piece Shimenawa's as they are roughly the same dmg output although Shimenawa will have a higher ER requirement to comfortably cycle. Nymph's dream is roughly a 5% increase from 4 piece HoD, wouldn't recommend farming if any of the previous options are available.
Childe (Fireworks/Freeze) | Build

• Notes:
Freeze Childe:
4BS will be better than all sets mentioned above, and CR Weapons such as VH, Harp will be worse because it's hard to not overcap crit with it, but Polar star remains BiS along with Thundering pulse assuming no use of Bennett, or TTDS.

Namecard

Childe: Foul Legacy
Namecard style. This bears all the marks of that fellow who gallivants as he pleases across the continent with his ever-changing combat styles. Yet, his "Foul Legacy" was not originally his. Rather, it was taught to him by that solitary girl who dwelt in the darkest corners of the universe.

Outfits
Blades of Glory
DefaultTartaglia's outfit. Illustrious attire that signifies Childe's position as the eleventh Fatui Harbinger.
Despite holding one of the most senior positions in the Fatui as one of the Eleven Harbingers, Childe very much looks like the young adult that he still is. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, however, for under the cheerful and confident appearance lies a deadly swordsman. He is the youngest among the Harbingers, but one of the most dangerous among their number. That said, Childe doesn't seem to fit in well with the others. As a fighter first and foremost, he is quite at odds with this organization of deceit and treachery.
I'm No. 11 of the Fatui Harbingers, codename Childe, but I also go by Tartaglia. And you... Hmm, you too like to cause quite the stir, don't you? Something tells me we're going to get along splendidly.
