Carefully crafting a team composition in Genshin Impact is one of the most important aspects of ensuring success in battle. This is especially true when crafting the best team for rigid characters like the five-star Hydro Bow wielder Tartaglia, also known as “Childe.”
Because of his strict DPS skills, building a team for him can be rather tricky. To assemble the best Tartaglia team possible, you’ll want to focus on building the team around him, rather than attempting to fit him into an already existing team, for the best results.
The best Tartaglia (Childe) team in Genshin Impact
To create the best Tartaglia team possible, you’ll want to choose allies with his Hydro DPS abilities in mind. All teammates should complement his skills or work to bolster his abilities if you want the team to be as powerful as possible.
Objectively, there is no singular best team for Tartaglia because you will find immense success with a wide variety of compositions. But a general structure for what the best Tartaglia teams will look like is as follows.
- The first team member is Tartaglia, who is the primary damage-dealing unit on whatever team he is placed on. This means he will spend the most time on the battlefield and should be the character dealing the most damage to nearby foes.
- The second team member should be a secondary damage dealer capable of filling in the time between Tartaglia’s cooldowns. Tartaglia is known for his rather lengthy cooldown period and can be difficult to manage because of this, so his secondary damage-dealing partner should be able to be on the field for a solid chunk of time, capable of dealing hefty damage and as well as setting up elemental reactions.
- The third team member should be a supporting character who can help create elemental reactions, provide buffs, and lessen lengthy cooldowns by providing energy recharge.
- The fourth and final team member can be just about any kind of character, depending on what you find the team needs the most. A healer, another damage dealer, or a general support character are all solid options.

Based on these characters and Tartaglia’s abilities, some of the best possible team compositions for the Hydro archer are as follows.
1) Tartaglia, Nahida, Xingqiu, and Kuki Shinobu
This team lineup centers around the Hyperbloom elemental reaction. The Fatui Harbinger Tartaglia will function as the primary damage dealer and will consistently apply Hydro to foes that have Dendro already applied to them by Nahida for the Blooming elemental reaction.
Xingqiu will also continuously apply Hydro to all enemies through his elemental burst which can then be combined with Nahida’s Dendro abilities to activate Blooming and create cores. Lastly, Kuki Shinobu is a dynamic support character who can both heal her teammates and apply Electro to activate the powerful Hyperbloom elemental reaction.
If you’re struggling to get this exact lineup but still hoping to use Hyperbloom, you have other options. You can replace Nahida with the four-star Dendro Bow character Collei or the Dendro Traveler, replace Xingqiu with the five-star Hydro Catalyst character Sangonomiya Kokomi or the five-star Hydro Sword character Kamisato Ayato, and replace Kuki Shinobu with the four-star Electro Bow character Fischl or the Electro Traveler.
All characters on this team besides Tartaglia can be swapped out for similar results as long as they function in a similar role and have the right elements, which are Dendro, Hydro, and Electro.
2) Tartaglia, Raiden Shogun, Hu Tao, and Qiqi
Those seeking a Tartaglia team that uses lots of elemental reactions may like this lineup. It includes Hydro, Electro, Pyro, and Cryo elements, which allows for lots of damage-dealing opportunities. With this combo, you can dish out many different elemental reactions like Frozen, Vaporize, Electro-Charged, and Overloaded.
While the other team compositions generally focus on one specific elemental reaction, this one makes use of as many as possible. You’re also free to alter this lineup depending on which elemental reactions function best with the characters you have recruited.
3) Tartaglia, Ganyu, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Diona
A team with three bow characters might seem like a lot, but due to Tartaglia’s unique ability to swap between his bow and a Hydro polearm weapon, it actually functions really well.
The Genshin community refers to this as a “Permafrost” build, as it centers around keeping enemies Frozen for as long as possible. You can achieve this by constructing a team with two Cryo characters, one Hydro character, and a versatile support character.
In this lineup, Tartaglia and Ganyu both work as primary damage dealers, as they’re both likely to spend a similar amount of time on the battlefield. They work together to apply the Frozen elemental reaction, which immobilizes enemies and keeps them in this state for a period of time.
Diona can jump in to help apply more Cryo if needed, and she can also shield and heal her teammates throughout the battle. Kazuha helps by grouping up enemies and assists his teammates by buffing them to improve their damage output.
A Permafrost team is great for controlling and dominating large groups of enemies as it helps you slow them down. This kind of lineup will not be as effective against bosses, who generally cannot be Frozen for a long time, but it’s still an excellent option for players looking to focus on the Frozen elemental reaction.
4) Tartaglia, Fischl, Beidou, and Bennett
Another option for Tartaglia is to run a team focused on the Electro-Charged elemental reaction that includes a Hydro character, two Electro characters, and a Pyro character.
With two Electro characters, you have the added bonus of generating an Electro elemental particle every time they activate Electro-Charged, Superconduct, or Overloaded with a cooldown period of five seconds.
This won’t be the best team lineup for Tartaglia overall, but it is one of the most accessible for players struggling to attain the characters required for the others, and it’s still a very powerful team that exceeds expectations.
You can also switch out everyone other than Tartaglia for similar characters if need be, such as swapping Fischl or Beidou with four-star Electro Sword character Kuki Shinobu or the Electro version of the Traveler and swapping Bennett with four-star Pyro Polearm character Xiangling or four-star Pyro Polearm character Thoma.
5) Tartaglia, Xiangling, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Bennett
This team composition is built around the Vaporize elemental reaction. Both Xiangling and Bennett are fairly easy characters to obtain and are excellent ones to pair with Tartaglia which makes this a very accessible team for most players.
A pair of Pyro characters also means you will get a powerful 25 percent attack increase, which is great for the entire team but especially for amplifying Tartaglia’s damage output. Xiangling functions well alongside Tartaglia because you can apply her elemental burst then quickly switch back to Tartaglia, keeping Xiangling’s Pyro ring circling around you.
her elemental burst can be quickly applied within one second before you can then immediately switch back to Tartaglia while still having Xiangling’s Pyro ring circling around you.
Kazuha functions well on this team for the same reasons previously outlined and is simply an excellent supporting character capable of amplifying Tartaglia’s abilities. While many of these team compositions are strong choices for Tartaglia, one of the best general choices that you can make when creating his team is to try and have Kazuha on the team with him since he is one of Genshin’s best characters and supplies some of the best support available for Tartaglia’s abilities.
Although they have different elements, you can replace Xiangling with the five-star Dendro Catalyst character Nahida for similar results. You can also swap Kazuha for the four-star Anemo Catalyst character Sucrose, who is much easier to obtain and is still a solid recruit, in these Genshin lineups.
