Character Type

Childe (Tartaglia)'s Overview & Evaluation

Hydro Attacker in Melee Mode

Tartaglia is a character with two fighting styles, ranged and melee. However, most of the time you will use him in melee form. At melee his normal attacks becomes hydro enabling him to become an attacker that continuously deal elemental reaction.

It is recommended to change characters when the melee is at cooldown.

Great At Dealing With Groups Of Enemies

Critical hits or charged hit during ranged form can inflict "riptide" status. Attacking enemies while in that status would unleashes a hydro AOE. His fast hit during melee form together with riptide will unleash multiple hydro AOEs annihilates group of enemy quickly and with ease.

Passive Skills Increases Party's Normal Attack Level

With the passive skill "Master of Weaponry", Tartaglia boost the Normal Attack Talent of the party members by 1. By just being at the party, he increases the power of other members.

Constellation Makes Him A Main DPS

Click to Enlarge

While very strong at Melee form, Tartaglia is weaker at range making it difficult for players to use him as main DPS. However by maxing his constellation to level 6, his Elemental Burst will reset his elemental skill cooldown making it easier to maintain melee mode.
