Tangtang Build: Gear, Weapon & Teams

Every number uses a Level 90 Tangtang with all skills at Rank 12 and all four Agility talent nodes unlocked. Her base ATK, Agility, Strength, damage multipliers, potentials, and talent values are read from the committed client tables rather than from guide prose.

Agility is her main attribute and Strength her secondary. The ATK formula weights them at 0.005 and 0.002 respectively after every flat source and Main/Sub Stat Boost has been applied, then truncates both before calculating Final Build ATK. A weapon whose substat is Intellect therefore contributes nothing on her beyond its base ATK, secondary substat, and unique skill.

RIVER, TO ME! plants a Whirlpool and at most two exist at once. IMA WAVERIDAAH! creates one Waterspout of its own and converts every banked Whirlpool into one more, so Waterspouts run from one to three. The Full Cast row is the point-blank burst plus one Waterspout per spout created, and the skill's own text says Waterspout damage counts as Battle Skill DMG, so Battle Skill DMG bonuses and battle Link reach those rows.

Arts Susceptibility is a step, not a sum: one Waterspout applies none, two apply 5%, three apply 10%, and Potential 3 adds five points to each. It sits in the Susceptibility bucket of the damage equation, which is separate from the Increased DMG Taken bucket a weapon line such as Brigand's Calling or Clannibal fills. Because it is a debuff on the target, it also raises the Arts damage of every other operator hitting that enemy.

Composite multipliers are built from per-tick scales, not from the displayed totals: the burst is five shots, a Waterspout is twelve ticks, and OLDEN STARE is eight ticks. Potentials 3 and 5 move those per-tick scales without rewriting the displayed totals, so reading the displayed number would silently discard the potential. Riot Bringer's bonus applies only to the Waterspouts the Ultimate creates, and Potential 5 raises it from 60% to 140%.

Ordinary hits run the complete Talos Wiki damage chain. The Solidification row uses the separate Arts Reaction formula: 80% plus 80% per consumed Cryo Infliction stack, followed by the level-90 Hidden Multiplier and Arts Intensity. Her Waterspouts apply the Infliction but nothing in her kit consumes it, so that row assumes a teammate breaks it. Expand any row to inspect the active factors.

Still excluded: the SpecialBonus waypoint buff, Fam of Honor's Haste and Slow (which change action speed, not damage, and so belong in no bucket of the equation), SP and Ultimate Energy generation, Stagger values, and rotation timing. The two Rogue Wave rows are alternatives, since a dive attack that summons the early wave is what prevents the full-duration one.
