Talents

Icon	Name	Type
	Cutting Torrent	Normal Attack
Normal Attack: Perform up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack: Perform 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. Triggering Riptide Flash will sometimes grant 1 Elemental Particle. Normal Attack bonuses from artifacts or weapons affect the damage of Riptide Flash and Riptide Burst. The Riptide AoE has quadratic scaling against mobs of enemies that are grouped together. That is, suppose there are n enemies each affected by Riptide grouped close together. If Tartaglia uses his Elemental Skill to attack the n enemies in the cluster at once, it will trigger Riptide Slash for each enemy. Each Riptide Slash will do local AoE damage hitting surrounding enemies. So there will be n Riptide Slashes, each hitting n-1 enemies. In total, there will be $n+n(n-1)=n^{2}$ instances of damage against n enemies for each time Tartaglia procs Riptide Slash in melee stance. So for mobs grouped close together (e.g. via Crowd Control abilities of Sucrose, Kazuha, The Viridescent Hunt), Tartaglia's Riptide damage will scale quadratically with the number of enemies in the cluster. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1-Hit DMG% 41.28 44.64 48 52.8 56.16 60 65.28 70.56 75.84 81.6 87.36 2-Hit DMG% 46.27 50.03 53.8 59.18 62.95 67.25 73.17 79.09 85 91.46 97.92 3-Hit DMG% 55.38 59.89 64.4 70.84 75.35 80.5 87.58 94.67 101.75 109.48 117.21 4-Hit DMG% 57.02 61.66 66.3 72.93 77.57 82.88 90.17 97.46 104.75 112.71 120.67 5-Hit DMG% 60.89 65.84 70.8 77.88 82.84 88.5 96.29 104.08 111.86 120.36 128.86 6-Hit DMG% 72.76 78.68 84.6 93.06 98.98 105.75 115.06 124.36 133.67 143.82 153.97 Charged Attack Aimed Shot (%) 43.86 47.43 51 56.1 59.67 63.75 69.36 74.97 80.58 86.7 92.82 Fully-Charged Aimed Shot (%) 124 133.3 142.6 155 164.3 173.6 186 198.4 210.8 223.2 235.6 Riptide Riptide Flash DMG% 12.4×3 13.33×3 14.26×3 15.5×3 16.43×3 17.36×3 18.6×3 19.84×3 21.08×3 22.32×3 23.56×3 Riptide Burst DMG% 62 66.65 71.3 77.5 82.15 86.8 93 99.2 105.4 111.6 117.8 Riptide Duration 10s Plunging Attack Plunge DMG% 63.93 69.14 74.34 81.77 86.98 92.92 101.1 109.28 117.46 126.38 135.3 Low Plunge DMG% 127.84 138.24 148.65 163.51 173.92 185.81 202.16 218.51 234.86 252.7 270.54 High Plunge DMG% 159.68 172.67 185.67 204.24 217.23 232.09 252.51 272.93 293.36 315.64 337.92 Media:Talent Cutting Torrent Normal.ogv Normal Attack Media:Talent Cutting Torrent Charged.ogv Charged Attack Media:Talent Cutting Torrent Plunge.ogv Plunge Attack
	Foul Legacy: Raging Tide	Elemental Skill
Unleashes a set of weaponry made of pure water, dealing Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents and entering Melee Stance. 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: Perform 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. This skill generates 1 Elemental Particle when Riptide Slash is unleashed. Doesn't generate elemental particle if one has been generated in the last of 3 seconds. As specified in the Notes of Cutting Torrent, in this stance, gliding is possible but Plunging Attacks are not, so be careful not to fall off a cliff while in this stance with zero stamina. Attacking weak spots in Melee Stance does not guarantee a Critical Hit, unlike Aimed Shots. In some situations, like for the Shimenawa's Reminiscence artifact set (which drains energy when the elemental skill button is pressed), a trick to end the skill is to switch to another party member directly rather than press the elemental skill button a second time. The cooldown of the skill after returning to Ranged Stance is (see the formula below): 5 seconds plus the duration spent in Melee Stance (if duration is 5-7 seconds) 6 seconds plus duration (if duration is 8 to less than 30 seconds) 7 seconds (if less than 2 seconds was spent in Melee Stance) 45 seconds (if the return to Ranged Stance was automatic). Tartaglia's 1st Constellation, Foul Legacy: Tide Withholder, decreases this skill's cooldown by 20%. For Tartaglia's Elemental Skill interaction with different weapons and artifacts: Normal Attack bonuses apply to Ranged Stance and Melee Stance. Also affects the damage of Riptide Flash and Riptide Burst. Aimed Shot bonuses apply to his Ranged Stance's Aimed Shot and Melee Stance's Charged Attack. Charged Attack bonuses apply to his Ranged Stance's Aimed Shot and Melee Stance's Charged Attack. However, when the passive specifically states hits being "fired," the bonus does not work on Melee Stance Charged Attacks Elemental Skill bonuses apply to the initial Melee Stance change and Riptide Slash Weapon Effects The following is Foul Legacy: Raging Tide's effect on bows that have a passive that gains Normal or Charged Attack Bonuses and Elemental Skill modifiers or stacks: Weapon Effect Amos' Bow Damage bonus affects Melee Stance, but Charged Attacks cannot stack Strong-Willed. Elegy for the End Can only gain stacks when entering Melee Stance and triggering Riptide Slash. Polar Star Ashen Nightstar passive can be stacked in Melee Stance. The initial Melee Stance change and Riptide Slash count as elemental skill damage. Thundering Pulse Changing Stances and Normal Attacks in Melee Stance can stack Rule by Thunder. Riptide Slash does not gain stacks. Skyward Harp Passive can be triggered during Melee Stance. Hamayumi Passive works on Melee Stance. Compound Bow Passive works on Melee Stance. Windblume Ode Passive works when entering Melee Stance or returning to Ranged Stance. The Viridescent Hunt Passive can be triggered during Melee Stance. Prototype Crescent Passive works on Melee Stance. Sacrificial Bow Does not reset the skill's cooldown. The Stringless Only affects damage when entering Melee Stance and Riptide Slash damage. Alley Hunter TBA Rust DMG Bonus and Charged Attack debuff applies on Melee Stance, but does not affect Riptide Slash damage. Slingshot Does not affect Melee Stance. Sharpshooter's Oath Weak spot damage bonus affects Melee Stance. Cooldown The CD is piecewise linear in the time spent (duration) in Melee Stance. The data are retrieved from in-game testing. At Constellation 0, it is represented by the function: $CD={\begin{cases}7&0\leq {\text{Duration}}<2\\8&2\leq {\text{Duration}}<4\\10&{\text{Duration}}=4\\5+{\text{Duration}}&5\leq {\text{Duration}}<8\\6+{\text{Duration}}&8\leq {\text{Duration}}<30\\45&{\text{Duration}}\geq 30\end{cases}}$ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Stance Change DMG% 72 77.4 82.8 90 95.4 100.8 108 115.2 122.4 129.6 136.8 144 153 1-Hit DMG% 38.87 42.04 45.2 49.72 52.88 56.5 61.47 66.44 71.42 76.84 82.26 87.69 93.11 2-Hit DMG% 41.62 45.01 48.4 53.24 56.63 60.5 65.82 71.15 76.47 82.28 88.09 93.9 99.7 3-Hit DMG% 56.33 60.91 65.5 72.05 76.63 81.88 89.08 96.28 103.49 111.35 119.21 127.07 134.93 4-Hit DMG% 59.94 64.82 69.7 76.67 81.55 87.13 94.79 102.46 110.13 118.49 126.85 135.22 143.58 5-Hit DMG% 55.3 59.8 64.3 70.73 75.23 80.38 87.45 94.52 101.59 109.31 117.03 124.74 132.46 6-Hit DMG% 35.43 + 37.67 38.32 + 40.73 41.2 + 43.8 45.32 + 48.18 48.2 + 51.25 51.5 + 54.75 56.03 + 59.57 60.56 + 64.39 65.1 + 69.2 70.04 + 74.46 74.98 + 79.72 79.93 + 84.97 84.87 + 90.23 Charged Attack DMG% 60.2 + 71.98 65.1 + 77.84 70 + 83.7 77 + 92.07 81.9 + 97.93 87.5 + 104.62 95.2 + 113.83 102.9 + 123.04 110.6 + 132.25 119 + 142.29 127.4 + 152.33 135.8 + 162.38 144.2 + 172.42 Charged Attack Stamina Cost 20 Riptide Slash 60.2 65.1 70 77 81.9 87.5 95.2 102.9 110.6 119 127.4 135.8 144.2 Max Duration 30s Preemptive CD 6–36s Max CD 45s Media:Talent Foul Legacy Raging Tide Press.ogv Enter Melee Stance Media:Talent Foul Legacy Raging Tide Normal.ogv Normal Attacks in Melee Stance Media:Talent Foul Legacy Raging Tide Charged.ogv Charged Attacks in Melee Stance Media:Talent Foul Legacy Raging Tide Press 2.ogv Return to Ranged Stance
	Havoc: Obliteration	Elemental Burst
Performs different attacks based on what stance Tartaglia is in when casting. 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.

	Never Ending	1st Ascension Passive
Extends Riptide duration by 8s.
	Sword of Torrents	4th Ascension Passive
When Tartaglia is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide's Melee stance, on dealing a CRIT hit, Normal and Charged Attacks apply the Riptide status effects to opponents. Critical hits from normal and Charged Attacks during the melee stance applies the Riptide mark to enemy hit. Critical hits from Normal Attacks or normal aimed-shot during the ranged stance do not apply the mark. This can also refresh an existing riptide mark applied from a fully-charged shot during ranged stance.
	Master of Weaponry	Utility Passive
Increases your own party members' Normal Attack Level by 1. In Co-Op Mode, this passive does not apply to other characters outside your own. So it is not possible to stack this beyond Level 11 Normal Attack.
