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 job, the greatest weapons, the best artefacts, 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:

  • Goblet – hydro damage%
  • Circlet – crit rate / crit damage
Sub stats
  • Crit rate/crit damage
  • Attack%
  • Elemental mastery
  • Energy recharge
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 utilise 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 artefact 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.

Utilising 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, such 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 inflict more damage with his melee burst, but it costs more energy and makes it harder to initiate vaporise responses while switching stances.Conversely, Childe's ranged burst requires less energy, animates more quickly, and works better to start vaporise reactions. Additionally, you may utilise 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 choose 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 utilise 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 artefacts are the best for Childe?

Heart of Depth is usually the best collection of artefacts 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.

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 centred 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 partners Childe with Xiangling and Bennett, much as Raiden national, and they work together to provide off-field pyro application for vaporise 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 anything. How about a cosy freeze 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!

What abilities does Childe possess?

These are every attack and passive skill that Childe has. Active skills
Skill Effect
Normal attack: Cutting Torrent Normal: perform six shots with a bow
Charged: fire off a
n aimed shot with increased damage. When fully charged, the arrow deals hydro damage and applies the Riptide status. Enemies affected by riptide suffer from AoE hydro damage when you attack them.
  • Riptide Flash: a fully-charged Cutting Torrent deals AoE damage when an enemy is affected by riptide. This can occur once every 0.7 seconds
  • Riptide Burst: when you defeat an enemy affected by riptide, a hydro burst inflicts the riptide status on all nearby enemies.
    Plunge: fire a shower of arrows in mid-air before dealing AoE damage on the ground. Childe can’t perform a plunging shot when in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide’s melee stance
Elemental skill: Foul Legacy: Raging Tide Childe enters a melee stance and deals AoE hydro damage. 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

Elemental burst: Havoc: Obliteration This move does different things depending on what stance Childe is in:
  • Ranged Stance – Flash of Havoc: deal AoE hydro damage and apply the riptide status. A portion of its energy cost regenerates after use
  • Melee Stance – Light Obliteration: deal AoE hydro damage and trigger Riptide Blast
  • Riptide Blast: when obliterating waters hits an opponent affected by riptide, it clears their riptide status and deals AoE hydro damage. Damage dealt this way is considered elemental burst damage
Skills in passivity
Skill Effect
Never Ending Extends riptide duration by eight seconds
Sword of Torrents While in melee stance or when a normal or charged attack critically hits, riptide is applied to the enemy
Master of Weaponry Increases party members’ normal attack levels by one

What constellations belong to Childe?

You must level up Genshin Impact's Childe's constellations to ensure that he has the maximum amount of power. After you receive him as a copy via a wish, you may do this.
Constellation Effect
C1: Foul Legacy: Tide Withholder Reduces the cooldown for Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by 20%
C2: Foul Legacy: Understream When you defeat an opponent affected by riptide, you restore four elemental energy
C3: Abyssal Mayhem: Vortex of Turmoil Increases the level of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by three, to a maximum upgrade level of 15
C4: Abyssal Mayhem: Hydrospout If Childe is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide’s melee stance, he triggers Riptide Slash against all on-field opponents affected by Riptide every four sexonds. Otherwise, he triggers Riptide Flash. Riptide Slashes and Flashes triggered by this constellation aren’t subject to the time intervals that typically apply to these two effects, nor do they have any effect on those time intervals
C5: Havoc: Formless Blade Increases the level of Havoc: Obliteration by three, to a maximum upgrade level of 15
C6: Havoc: Annihilation When Childe casts Havoc: Obliteration in melee stance, the cooldown of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide resets when he returns to ranged stance
