CHILDE TALENTS / SKILLS
Normal Attack: Perform up to 6 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack: Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, the power of Hydro will accumulate on the arrowhead. An arrow fully charged with the torrent will deal Hydro DMG and apply the Riptide status.
Riptide
Opponents affected by Riptide will suffer from AoE Hydro DMG effects when attacked by Tartaglia in various ways. DMG dealt in this way is considered Normal Attack DMG.
- Riptide Flash: A fully-charged Aimed Shot that hits an opponent affected by Riptide deals consecutive bouts of AoE DMG. Can occur once every 0.7s.
- Riptide Burst: Defeating an opponent affected by Riptide creates a Hydro burst that inflicts the Riptide status on nearby opponents hit.
Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
When Tartaglia is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide’s Melee Stance, he cannot perform a plunging attack.
Foul Legacy: Raging Tide (Elemental Skill): Unleashes a set of weaponry made of pure water, dealing Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents and entering Melee Stance.
In this Stance, Tartaglia’s Normal and Charged Attacks are converted to Hydro DMG that cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion and change as follows:
Normal Attack
Perform up to 6 consecutive Hydro strikes.
Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a cross slash, dealing Hydro DMG.
Riptide Slash
Hitting an opponent affected by Riptide with a melee attack unleashes a Riptide Slash that deals AoE Hydro DMG. DMG dealt in this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG, and can only occur once every 1.5s.
After 30s, or when the ability is unleashed again, this skill will end. Tartaglia will return to his Ranged Stance and this ability will enter CD.
The longer Tartaglia stays in his Melee Stance, the longer the CD.
If the return to a ranged stance occurs automatically after 30s, the CD is even longer.
DURATION: 30s COOLDOWN: 45s
Havoc: Obliteration (Elemental Burst): Performs different attacks based on what stance Tartaglia is in when casting.
Ranged Stance: Flash of Havoc
Swiftly fires a Hydro-imbued magic arrow, dealing AoE Hydro DMG and applying the Riptide status.
Returns a portion of its Energy Cost after use.
Melee Stance: Light of Obliteration
Performs a slash with a large AoE, dealing massive Hydro DMG to all surrounding opponents, which triggers Riptide Blast.
Riptide Blast
When the obliterating waters hit an opponent affected by Riptide, it clears their Riptide status and triggers a Hydro Explosion that deals AoE Hydro DMG.
DMG dealt in this way is considered Elemental Burst DMG.
COOLDOWN: 15s ENERGY COST: 60s
CHILDE PASSIVE

CHILDE BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK% | HYDRO% | CD%/CR%
MAIN DPS: Childe should be built as a nuker if you want the most out of him. You want as much Hydro Damage, ATK, CR, and CD on him followed with EM and ER.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best bows for Childe. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Childe is a very versatile DPS character in Genshin Impact!
- He can switch between playstyles of sword or bow.
- He can constantly apply wet status to his enemies which allows for constant elemental reactions with your team.
- He’s a lot of fun to play and his style is unique compared to all the characters in Genshin.
WEAKNESSES
- He is weak against Hydro monsters since they are immune to hyro damage.
- Since he’s split weapons he’s neither the best sword user or bow user.
- He requires a lot of set up to get the most out of him.
RANKING
Combat Rating (7/10): His combat style takes time to get used to. You’ll need to practice with him and strategize rotations to get the most out of him.
Exploration (9/10): Bow users are great for exploration to pop balloons, blow up bombs, and knock enemies off towers.
Spiral Abyss (8/10): He is really good with single target dps units since he can constantly apply wet and deal damage big damage.
Artifact Farming (8/10): Artifact farming varies based on the type and enemies you are facing. He’s great for most areas unless it’s a very hydro heavy domain.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (9/10): 1v1 bosses are great for single target dps characters like Childe. His dps output is great for faster clears. Don’t use him in the Oceanid since he’s hydro.
