Childe structure - Genshin Influence

One of the eleven Fatui Harbingers, Genshin Impact's Childe, also goes as Tartaglia or Ajax. She uses a hydro bow. His kit, which lets you quickly swap between melee and distance strikes, is very unusual but also rather difficult. Now let's examine the ideal Child construct, which includes his function, the greatest weapons, the best artifacts, and much more.

See our Genshin Impact tier list for assistance in team formation. Along with guides to the current and planned Genshin Impact update and Genshin Impact events, we also have a list of all the new Genshin Impact codes.

Everything is included in our top-rated Genshin Impact Childe build guide here:

Which Genshin Impact Childe build is the best?

Childe is a fast-applying hydro DPS that does powerful damage to multiple targets, allowing him to empower other team members. His burst has a low energy demand while in a ranged position, so you may use it more often while still doing great damage.

Childe's optimal weapon in terms of gear depends on whether you want to utilize him as a burst or main DPS.We suggest Polar Star as your primary DPS, whereas Aqua Simulacra works best as a burst DPS. The greatest artifact set for Childe, regardless of role, is Heart of Depth, with crit, attack%, elemental mastery, and energy recharge being his most crucial stats.The way you want to employ him will also determine which skills you should value most. You level up his elemental skill, elemental burst, and regular attack in a melee-focused build.. However, if you're going for a burst-focused build, you should level up 's elemental burst first, followed by 's elemental skill and finally 's standard attack.You don't need more than one copy of him to be a valuable addition to your team since he is not dependent on constellations, has a unique rotation that alternates between ranged and melee attacks, and is rather adaptable when it comes to team composition.

Utilizing Childe

Similar to several bow-wielding characters, we usually advise avoiding employing Childe's standard ranged attacks due to their insignificant damage.Aside from that, determining how long to hold Childe in melee posture is the most crucial aspect of learning his kit. His elemental skill's cooldown will lengthen the longer you keep him in melee position. As a result, the best duration for a comfortable 24 second cycle at C0 is to remain in melee mode for nine seconds, giving you a 15 second cooldown before you may use it once again.This community-made Childe melee time calculator may provide you with a more detailed breakdown that is tailored to your unique Childe setup. Alternatively, you may use markers from other characters, like your stamina bar, Fischl's Oz duration, Bennett's burst buff, Beidou or Xingqiu's aura durations, or even your own. You should eventually have a sense of how long melee mode is appropriate for your squad.There are advantages and disadvantages to both the ranged and melee versions of Childe's burst. He can deliver more damage with his melee burst, but it costs more energy and makes it harder to initiate vaporize responses while switching stances.Conversely, Childe's ranged burst requires less energy, animates more quickly, and works better to start vaporize reactions. Additionally, you may utilize it during his downtime while you wait for his skill cooldown. It does, however, inflict a lot less damage than the melee version.Overall, keep in mind that more damage does not always translate into greater DPS. To fully use Childe's ranged burst, you'll need a lot of energy recharge. However, if you prioritize attacking and critical damage above energy recharge, your final product will be greater damage overall. As a result, we usually advise against using Childe's melee burst and instead to utilize his ranged burst.

Which weapon works best for Childe?

Polar Star is the ideal weapon for Genshin Impact's Childe as a primary DPS. Thundering Pulse and Aqua Simulacra are next in order of closeness. Your greatest option for burst DPS Childe is Aqua Simulacra. Thundering Pulse comes next. and Mouun's Moon R5.Viridescent Hunt is an excellent option for primary DPS Childe, and R5 Stringless is a terrific choice for burst DPS Childe, if you're looking for something a little more approachable.

Which artifacts are the best for Childe?

Heart of Depth is usually the best collection of artifacts for DPS Childe in most circumstances. However, you should combine two Heart of Depth and two Gladiator's Finale if you don't have a spare Genshin Impact's Bennett for your Childe team.You may get a significant damage increase for burst DPS Childe by combining two Noblesse Oblige with two Heart of Depth. See the very thorough tutorial by Kequing Mains for a more thorough explanation.

Suggestions for stats and sub-stats

Key statistics:

• Sands – attack% or elemental mastery
• Goblet – hydro damage%
• Circlet – crit rate/crit damage

• Crit rate/crit damage (try to maintain a 1:2 ratio)
• Attack%
• Elemental mastery
• Energy recharge

Sub-statsWhich Genshin Impact Childe team compositions are the best?

Childe's versatility in both melee and ranged stances, along with his robust hydro application, allow him to play on a broad variety of teams.We usually suggest teams centered on elemental reactions, unless you want to concentrate on a more physical, bow-focused build, so he can get the most out of his kit.For him, the most well-liked team competition is Childe National. It combines Childe with Xiangling and Bennett, much as Raiden national, and they work together to provide off-field pyro application for vaporization responses throughout Childe's melee duration. Bennett's burst, of course, also provides healing and a hefty attack bonus that may really cause Childe's damage to skyrocket.Although Childe National is a fantastic flex option, he is often vaporize-focused and does not need Xingqiu like Raiden National does since Chile supplies the hydro. As an alternative, you may replace Xingqiu with an emotive character like Kazuha or Venti, who can provide resistance shred and crowd control. A geo like Zhongli, who provides a fantastic shield to his friend, is another option for filling the spot.Childe is also a good match for electro-charged teams, where he can work well with characters like Fischl and Beidou, who both serve as excellent markers for Childe's melee duration.However, Childe can fit in almost anyplace. How about a cozy frozen team? You're in his hands. Is it a bloom or hyperbloom? Not an issue. Overwhelmed? No longer, my friend. Childe can play on almost any squad if you appreciate his playstyle and develop him properly. Simply enjoy yourself!

In the melee stance, his attacks change in the following ways: Cutting Torrent: perform six hydro attacks Cutting Torrent (charged): consume stamina to deal hydro damage Riptide Flash: when a melee attack hits an opponent affected by riptide, unleash a Riptide Slash that deals AoE hydro damage. This is considered elemental skill damage, and can only occur once every 1.5 seconds After 30 seconds, Childe returns to his ranged stance
