Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, gear sets and Potential verdicts on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and condensed to a sentence each. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the Potential and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, skill text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

CoreQingbo
Qingbo is the recommended build for Tangtang, raising both her Battle Skill and Ultimate DMG with more weight on Battle Skill from its pieces, while also cutting her Combo Skill cooldown by about 2 seconds for more Whirlpool generation.
3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. When the wearer casts a combo skill, the wearer gains Skill DMG Dealt +20% (for every skill) for 15s. This effect can reach 2 stacks. Duration of each stack is counted separately.
Also works
BonekrushaBonekrusha suits Sub DPS Tangtang with matching Attributes and ideal Cryo DMG and Battle Skill DMG stats, though some Ultimate Gain Efficiency helps on 0-Energy starts since SP Return can interfere with her 90-Energy Ultimate.
MI SecurityMI Security can beat Bonekrusha on damage but may be inconsistent from its low 10% Crit Rate, though stacking is easy from Tangtang's frequent small hits, and unlike Bonekrusha it also boosts her Ultimate's Watersprout damage.
Eternal XiraniteFor low-investment Tangtang, Eternal Xiranite works since her Battle Skill's Susceptibility can trigger its DMG% buff, though it doesn't stack and teams usually have someone else for it, its Ultimate Gain Efficiency the main draw.

Tangtang FAQ
- What attribute is Tangtang?
- Tangtang is a 6-star Cryo operator of the Caster class, from Endfield Industries, wielding a Handcannon, released in version 1.1.
- What stat does Tangtang scale on?
- Tangtang's skills multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Battle Skill and Ultimate, not from the skill description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
- What is the best weapon for Tangtang?
- Brigand's Calling is the closest fit on the data: it is a 6-star Handcannon with 505 base ATK at level 90, and its skills act on ATK. Long Road is the best 4-star alternative.
- Which gear set should Tangtang use?
- Qingbo. Its 3-piece effect is: 3-piece set effect: Wearer's Combo Skill Cooldown Reduction +15%. When the wearer casts a combo skill, the wearer gains Skill DMG Dealt +20% (for every skill) for 15s. This effect can reach 2 stacks. Duration of each stack is counted separately. The 3-piece effect is the only set bonus a gear set has, and it needs three matching pieces; an operator equips four in all (Armor, Gloves and two Kits), so the fourth is free for an off-set piece.
- How much does it cost to max Tangtang's skills?
- Taking one combat skill from level 1 to 12 costs 172,200 T-Creds and 21× Blighted Jadeleaf among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
- What does Tangtang P1 do?
- Reserve Hoard: Combo skill RIVER, TO ME! improved: DMG Multiplier is increased to 1.2 times of the original. Length of cooldown -2s. Battle skill IMA WAVERIDAAH! improved: For every Whirlpool consumed and converted into a Waterspout, return 5 additional SP.
