Overview
Tartaglia drives off-field reactions with rapid melee Hydro and Riptide area damage. Exit his stance deliberately: staying longer increases the cooldown and delays the next team window.
Role
Hydro melee driver / Riptide area damage
Playstyle
Take a deliberate melee window, then exit manually before the growing Skill cooldown disrupts teammate setup.
Why It Works
Riptide Slash is Skill damage, while melee attack values are also listed in the Skill.
Watch For
Longer melee time means longer cooldown, so maximum state duration is not automatically a useful rotation length.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Bennett and off-field setup → Vaporize ranged Burst → melee attacks with Charged hits → exit stance → battery supports.
Key Notes
Exit melee deliberately; its duration sets the cooldown.
Melee critical hits apply Riptide.
Ranged Burst refunds Energy and applies Riptide.
Riptide area damage rewards grouping.

Elemental Skill
Foul Legacy: Raging Tide

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
Performs up to 6 consecutive Hydro strikes.
- 1-Hit DMG

- 2-Hit DMG
- 82.3%

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.

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.
