Foul Legacy Transformation is a combat technique utilized by Tartaglia. He has used it during his boss fight, Enter the Golden House, as well as in a cutscene during his Story Quest Mighty Cyclops' Adventure!. He attempted to use this technique during the events of As Light Rain Falls Without Reason following his guilty verdict by the Oratrice, but he was instead incapacitated by Neuvillette before fully transforming. During the events of Masquerade of the Guilty, he would use the technique to prevent the All-Devouring Narwhal from consuming Fontainian civilians.[1]
While under the effects of Foul Legacy Transformation, Tartaglia is able to wield the powers of his Hydro Vision and Electro Delusion at the same time. However, using this ability is extremely draining on him and has lasting repercussions on his body; his fight with the All-Devouring Narwhal left him severely injured, resulting in him returning to Snezhnaya in order to recover.[1][2]
This power does not originate from his Delusion; he learned it from Skirk after he fell into the Abyss, before he joined the Fatui, with the transformation receiving its name from Surtalogi "The Foul," Skirk's own master.[3][4][5][1]
Characteristics[]
When Tartaglia activates this ability, he grows to twice his size and dons a black and violet armor. He also now levitates off the floor and moves around at breakneck speed.
His armor is primarily black, with a violet fade from his midriff to his upper thighs. His torso sports his original outfit's collar, and his Hydro Vision, with a lavender, feathery collar at his neck. He also wears a long cape with a starry pattern. His armor extends to his arms, as well, with his fingers now wearing sharp gray claws. At his navel is his Electro Delusion. His legs are also armored, complemented by a silver lining, and a violet diamond pattern where his kneecaps are. Finally, his mask takes a new form, covering the entirety of his face, and elongating to sport long horns at his head. The face of the mask is featureless, save for a single purple eye.
Trivia[]
- While "Foul Legacy Transformation" (or simply "Foul Legacy") (Chinese: 魔王武装 "Demon King Armament") is used in some of Tartaglia's Talent and Constellation names, within the story, it exclusively refers to the form he takes on during the third phase of Enter the Golden House.[2][5][6][7]
- The description for Childe: Foul Legacy states that Foul Legacy (Chinese: 魔王 "Demon King") is the name of Tartaglia and Skirk's fighting style, which combines many different fighting techniques. Notably, the original Chinese description removed the 武装 "Armament" part used in other instances of "Foul Legacy/Foul Legacy Transformation" (Chinese: 魔王武装).
- Comparisons have been made between Tartaglia's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, and the fighting style used by the Abyss Order enemy Abyss Herald: Wicked Torrents.
- After Tartaglia unleashes Foul Legacy Transformation during Enter the Golden House, the English localization has him declare "Foul Legacy - The Devouring Deep!" However, the original Chinese text calls it 极恶法「鲸吞噬灭」 Jí'è-fǎ "Jīngtūn-shìmiè", "Extreme Evil Art 'Whale Swallowing Devouring Destruction'", a phrase which is equivalent to the "Havoc" (Chinese: 极恶技 Jí'è-jì, "Extreme Evil Technique") used in Tartaglia's Elemental Burst, Havoc: Obliteration, and his Constellations Havoc: Formless Blade and Havoc: Annihilation.
