Tangtang Build Guide

Last Rite Xaihi Perlica Tangtang

Last Rite can benefit from Tangtang for extra Cryo Inflictions and Arts Susceptibility on the enemy. Xaihi is non-negotiable as she increases the damage of both Last Rite and Tangtang. Perlica can apply electrification just by using her Combo Skill, but can be replaced with Akekuri (for Thermite Cutter and SP Generation).

Yvonne Xaihi Gilberta Tangtang

Once again, Yvonne and Last Rite competes for teammates, and it's no different with Tangtang. Removing Alesh / Akekuri from the team means we're losing Thermite Cutter, and since Gilberta is already applying Arts Susceptibility, Tangtang value can feel a bit diminished here. She's still able to apply Cryo Inflictions at a lower SP Cost and immobilize enemies, but without her signature weapons (Brigand's Calling), she's not better than other existing options.

Tangtang Xaihi Akekuri Perlica

A team that uses Tangtang as your main DPS. Keep in mind you need to trigger another Cryo Infliction or an Arts Burst to get Tangtang 2nd waterspout, so timing your Xaihi Combo Skill is really important for this team. Gilberta can replace Perlica for grouping and Corrosion.

Tangtang Xaihi Alesh Gilberta

Another Tangtang-focused team, using Alesh to consume Cryo Inflictions and generate SP for your team. Keep in mind you need Gilberta (or any character that can apply Physical Status) to shatter enemies and trigger Alesh's Combo Skill.

Weapons

• Best-in-Slot: Brigand's Calling
• Alt: Home Longing
• Alt: Wedge

Tangtang's Signature is, by far, her best option in any team. Not only does it increase her damage output, it also applies Arts DMG Taken% on enemies, which is a really strong and rare multiplier.

Both Home Longing and Wedge are decent alternatives, as Tangtang can activate and use their effects to increase her personal damage, but still less than a single copy of her signature weapon.

OBJ Velocitous can find some use due to its Ultimate Gain Efficiency%, but you'll trade a lot of her personal damage for this.

Gear

• Gear Set: Bonekrusha
• Armor: Bonekrusha Heavy Armor T2
• Gloves: MI Security Gloves / LYNX Gloves
• Kit 1: Bonekrusha Mask T2
• Kit 2: Bonekrusha Mask T2

The Bonekrusha set works perfectly with Tangtang's gameplan. You are always aiming to use 2x Combo Skills before using her Battle Skill and doing so maximizes Bonekrusha's stacks. While you could use Eternal Xiranite for DMG Bonus, you will trade a lot of her personal damage for minimal gains in your team damage.

LYNX Gloves is only recommended if you need the Ultimate Gain Efficiency% for specific rotation breakpoints, otherwise MI Security Gloves will give Tangtang better damage potential.

• P1 Reserve Hoard
• P2 River's Daughter
• P3 Chiefly Vibe
• P4 Qingbo Meditation
• P5 Chief's All-Eldritch Gaze

While Tangtang can definitely deal damage, a lot of her team utility comes from her Cryo Inflictions on enemies when using her Battle Skill. When consuming whirlpools, her Battle Skill also apply Arts Susceptibility and returns some SP.

Whirlpools are generated with her Combo Skill, which only requires applying Cryo Infliction or Arts Burst on enemies. This is extremely efficient in Last Rite teams, since you can use Last Rite's Battle Skill to trigger Tangtang Combo Skill.

To maximize the Arts Susceptibility effect, Tangtang requires 2 whirlpools in the field, this makes her gameplay a bit slow, since you need to use her Combo Skill 2 times before a Battle Skill, but the damage and susceptibility effects makes up for it. You can also use her Ultimate to consume whirlpools and generate the same waterspouts as her Battle Skill.

The Ultimate is great for damage but also to protect your operators from aggressive enemies. For example, Yvonne can focus on using her Basic Attacks while on her Ultimate, even before staggering the enemy. Just remember to use a dive attack before it expires to get increased effects from it.

Example Rotation:
