Rosaria slashes the enemies before summoning an ice lance into the ground, dealing cryo damage. While this burst is active, the lance will periodically deal cryo damage to the surrounding enemies.

3. Tartaglia (Childe)

Tartaglia, also known as Childe or 11th of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, is a 5-star hydro bow-user in Genshin Impact. He has a high burst DPS potential, so the players can use him to produce some big damage.

He's unique for his elemental skill, which allows him to switch from Ranged Stance to Melee Stance despite being a bow user. The cooldown of his skill depends on how long he stays in his Melee Stance, so the players will be required to properly manage his elemental skill usage.

Genshin Impact 1.4 Update: New weapons

Genshin Impact 1.4 Update will be accompanied by 4 new Gacha weapons. One 5-star bow, Elegy for the End, and three new 4-star weapons, The Alley Flash (Sword), Wine and Song (Catalyst), and Alley Hunter (Bow).
