Tartaglia in Genshin Impact: artifacts, how old, character guide

Hello, fans of Genshin Impact!

Today we’ll talk about Tartaglia in Genshin Impact: artifacts, how old, and character guide.

Childe Tartaglia is the first playable character of the Fatui faction, and that’s already saying a lot. Despite his status, he is not as bad as you might think and allows you to look at this grouping differently. His unique Hydro ability allows him to switch from bow to melee combat. And do not be surprised if they call him Childe – this is his title, and his real name is Ajax.

Talents and skills of the character Tartaglia

Parting Rain:
Attack

Normal attack:
Up to six bow shots.

Charged Attack:
A more accurate aimed shot with increased damage.
During aiming, the arrowhead is charged with water energy. An arrow fully charged with water deals Hydro damage and inflicts the Ebb status on the enemy.

Low tide:
Some of Tartaglia’s attacks against enemies with the Ebb status deal Hydro damage in an area. This damage is considered to be dealt with by a normal attack.

• Ebb-Flash: A fully charged Aimed Shot at an Ebb-status enemy deals sequential Hydro damage in an area. Happens every 0.7 seconds.
• Ebb Surge: Defeating an enemy with the Ebb status causes a Hydro Surge that applies the Ebb status to surrounding enemies.

Fall attack:
Launches a hail of arrows in the air that deal area damage when the character lands.
Tartaglia cannot make a falling attack while in melee stance Spirit Form: Raging Waves.

Spirit Form: Raging Waves
Elemental Skill

Tartaglia unleashes pure water blades that deal Hydro damage to surrounding enemies and activate a melee stance.
In this stance, Tartaglia’s normal and charged attacks deal Hydro damage that cannot be countered by any elemental infusion, and are modified as follows:

Normal attack:
Up to six hits with Hydro Blades.

Charged Attack:
A cross-strike that deals Hydro damage and consumes a certain amount of stamina.

Ebb-blow:
Melee attacks against enemies with the Ebb status trigger an Ebb Strike that deals Hydro damage in an area. This damage counts as elemental skill damage. Ebb-blow does not occur more than once every 1.5 seconds.

Tartaglia returns to a back stance after 30 seconds. or when reactivating the skill, and the skill itself goes into a rollback. The longer Tartaglia was in the close stance, the longer the cooldown time of the skill will be.

The rollback time is increased if the return to the far stance occurred after 30 seconds.

He adopted a bow to hone his marksmanship, but a serious fight may require drawing a blade…

Chaos: Devastation

The explosion of the elements.

The attack made is determined by the stance Tartaglia is in.

Far Stance – Chaos Blast:

Tartaglia fires a water-infused arrow that deals AoE Hydro damage and inflicts Ebb on enemies.

After activation, the skill restores some of the energy.

Near Stance – Light of Doom:

Tartaglia performs a spinning attack that deals massive Hydro damage to surrounding enemies and applies the Ebb-Blast status to them.

Ebb-blast:

An attack by Light of Doom that hits enemies with the Ebb status removes this status from them while causing Hydro explosions that deal Hydro damage in an area. The Ebb-Blast damage counts as elemental damage.

In his snowy homeland, seething streams of water are not common. Perhaps Tartaglia’s ability to control water is due to an understanding of how precious it is.
