How do you do those Riptide things, i got him when pulling for heizhou. Now don't know what to do with him.

[@wolfwoof2000]

@@vivekp4854 You need crit rate and doing auto attack within stance mode (E) to apply riptide status onto the enemy. When an enemy dies, it will create an hydro explosion and spread the riptide effect to other enemies. You can also use the burst outside his E stance to apply riptide on enemies. Like when an enemy is dying, doing burst in stance mode will detonate the riptide effect of the enemies. Also doing a bow charged-shot will apply riptide. Make sure to have all ascension talents as well.

21:46 "Instead of getting 7 numbers on your screen... well you get more than that" Very eloquently put, Prof. Zaj 😂

[@bjaogh]

Pretty glad to see the C4 constellation being clarified here. I C6ed my Childe this patch bc he's my favourite character, and I've been having a lot of fun with his C4. So it's a bit unfortunate that that constellation is so infamous because it's honestly not bad, as Zajef explained and it actually feels really nice to play too.

[@marcusaurelius4777]

As someone who has constellations, how impactful do you think they are? I mean, specifically his C4, how much "value" has it added and what has it allowed you to do? I have my Childe at C1 and was just curious, saving for Dehya, but I have so many good units that it's more about boosting what I've got really so I was wondering if there's good 4 stars on his banners in the future if it'd be worth picking up a potential con here or there.

[@troddenleper8915]

It was labeled as bad before because they wanted childe to be the one to trigger vapes. Hence more hydro is bad. Now his role is much more accepting of c4 since he is now an enabler. More hydro is good (more seeds, more reverse vapes)

[@bjaogh]

@@marcusaurelius4777 Basically his constellations are mostly quality of life upgrades. C1 with the shortened cooldown to allow for faster clear time and makes his playstyle a bit more forgiving. C2 doesn't do that much. It gives a bit of energy but like Zajef explained here too, it solves a problem when you don't really have a problem i.e. when fighting multiple enemies and it doesn't give energy when you're struggling to get it, meaning when fighting single enemies. It's somewhat noticeable in multi target situations bc it definitely gives a good amount of energy particles but I wouldn't recommend going for C2 alone. His C3 is a good dmg upgrade and generally recommend for a more main dps oriented Childe. I had C3 plus R1 Polar Star for a whole year before his rerun now and I'd say if you're dedicated to Childe and like his playstyle but wanna make him more of a main carry style character or generally up his personal dmg, C3 is your friend. C4 is the most gameplay changing constellation in general. Especially now with Dendro though I'm still testing and can't yet say too much. It also adds additional dmg in Xiangling Childe teams, I've heard. Tbh I haven't yet played International since I got C4 bc I've been wanting to play new teams. I have an afk style hyperbloom team where I apply Nahida's dendro mark, Childe's riptide, use Raiden skill and Zhongli shield plus pillar and then watch the dmg do itself while standing on the pillar. Extra dmg from Childe C4 while chilling on my pillar in melee stance xD I'll have to do some serious testing next to check what C4 actually enables for my account. C5 ofc gives additional levels for his burst so if you wanna nuke even bigger, you can look for C5. And C6 allows you to ignore skill cooldown if you manage to ult in melee stance before switching to ranged. C6 is mostly useful and fun in open world stuff. But now that we have dendro teams for him, possibly C6 as well as C4 make him more viable for hyperbloom, burgeon or bloom teams because you might be able to have a nearly 100% uptime on his melee stance (could run into energy issues though bc of how melee burst works). And ofc C4 lets you get off field hydro application. Alright looong ramble. If you wanna get some maths, check out Keqing Mains sheet on Childe cons and you can visit the Childe Mains Discord server too. There's currently some testing for Childe Dendro teams going on and we always have folks who give their 2 cents on his constellation value too.

[@alch3mist07]

He's still the most fun and satisfying unit to play 2 years after release. Hope we'll get more units with this kind of technical kit in the future

[@shinpuku]

The thing about polar star is that it starts to become much better than either thundering pulse or aqua at around r3. I have r5 aqua and r5 polar star since Childe and Yelan are my favorites, and polar star is noticeably stronger for Childe. Aqua is much easier to use, and you can make up for the lower attack stat a little with external attack buffs like Bennett or using one of the 2pc/2pc 18% atk artifact sets. That said if you like Childe’s play style you probably don’t mind having to be more technical about your rotation and can learn to get the stacks up quickly.

Not with Nahida, Bennett and Kazuha. Childe's ult is a big portion of the dmg. Ayato can't hit 500k per ult, for speed running Childe is just better.

Childe shreds everything with 2pc sets

Please correct me if I am wrong, but afaik Rust only reduces aimed shot dmg, so while Childe is in melee stance his CA should not be affected by that reduction. EDIT: Q: Why not use Kazuha burst in international? My only guess is that he may steals vapes from XL?

CA in melee stance still count as CA. That's why Rust is usually no that high on Childe's weapon recommendation. You can watch Xilce's Childe weapon comparison video to see all the different numbers from different weapons. It's pretty well documented.

@@nela1728 True but why do that when u can run international and save nahida for the second side and run hyperbloom or something.

[@nd6096]

@@nela1728 it almost did as well as international for me in AoE, but weaker in single target though. No point of running it over international which excels in AoE and single target both, but burgeon is much more fun to me and im glad i can use him with dendro and make a pretty good team

[@uzshanka1676]

Great video, I will definetly try Dori variation

[@schaufle5748]

good god that outro was gold

[@izanagiuzumaki7325]

I understand hyperbloom but EM Raiden just hurts me to see. It feels so wrong to have dragons bane on her. I put it on her for overworld and I felt dirty

[@dankmemes7729]

Yeah to me it feels like most of her value is gone building EM, id rather build kuki for healing and hyperbloom

[@davistsang4192]

Same, I view it as a happy incident that Raiden has another good build. But personally I am just never gonna play it cause I value her entire kit way more in other teams. I don't want to lock her into dendro comps being an EM bot. And I don't like switching artifacts back and forth.

[@dendenmushi9714]

That's Mihoyo overtuning Hyperbloom for ya. It's alright tho. It's not like this build is better than traditional one at anything above floor level.

[@sethl1475]

the opposite for me skipped raiden twice but the em bot build is so hilarious to me that i'm probably going to end up picking her up on the rerun

[@lycerisrico8943]

Exactly, why not build Kuki instead for Hyperbloom

Childe is the epitome of TC, constantly evolving and dynamic. Such a treat to have zajef explain it ❤

[@cyrosgold7]

There is a trick to instantly resetting his E cool down. But it's not easy and you give up power to try it, will not work against single targets, and takes a good amount of investment. You need a very high rolled 4 piece gambler set and not worry about how long you are in melee stance. Make sure his burst is up prior to swapping out to prep for 2nd rotation and(this is the tricky part) make sure that by the time you return to him there is an enemy near death. Fire the ranged burst and if it kills an enemy then gamblers will proc and reset your E even if you were in it for 30 seconds on the first rotation. Gamblers has a 15 second effect cool down, so even if you kill fast with him the effect should be up by the time you swap back to him. As a bonus, despite losing stats overall for using a 4 star set you do get 20% increased E damage aka riptide and melee stance swap.

The voice acting at the end, yooo!

[@Gabriel-mh7zn]

Childe is impossible to be out of meta, just because he is a member of arguably the most strongest team in genshin, which is the international. The only national variant that is flexible enough to have an almost identical top tier performance in both single target and aoe, and after the dendro release theres no more "might" or "change" in genshin's meta this will be the meta until the game ends, thats why childe will always gonna be meta and one of the characters that will always be a good invesment in the long run.

[@cynt4416]

He have been out of meta long ago. I dont understand why all TC never bother to talk about risk and just focus on ideal scenario damage.

[@Gabriel-mh7zn]

@@cynt4416 the only "risks" scenarios youre talking ab are the scenarios where the game actually requires you to run specific elements/playstyle, like how goldenwolflord requires you to run geo or the electro bat requires you to run mobile teams or dendro hypo requires you to run dendro and etc, ofc childe wouldnt be good there thats just obvious because those types of scenarios are intentionally made for certain types of characters/elements/reactions. But if its not against a niched scenario international team always smashes 100% of the time, they may not always be the fastest but they will always be within good to top tier caliber they wouldnt even touch the decent tier. Childe is one of the vital reasons why is that the case because he is the most effective aoe hydro enabler for national variants while also having great relevancy in single target. Ayato is the closest to him both in aoe and ST but ayato doesnt have a nuking ability and frontloaded teams are the meta of genshin.

[@negspirito]

Solid performance in AoE and ST, sure, but calling it top tier performance in either scenario is a stretch

[@cynt4416]

@@Gabriel-mh7zn what about ping, execution, rng enemies pattern? Meta is not about dealing the most damage. Most people seem to forget that including Zajeff. Most Effective Tactic available. Reaching a certain dps thresshold in an easy, consistent and reliable way. Ayato just do everything Childe do with good enough dps on top of being much more reliable and versatile.

[@Gabriel-mh7zn]

@@negspirito it is a top tier perfomance in most single target scenarios. Kenki,pma,the new flying boss in flr 12,primogeovishap,regisvines and any lawachurls floors, International team always speedrun them regardless. A solid amount of its ST dps comes from childe's nuking ability, And childe,xiangling,kazuha in aoe is just a "solid performance" tf??????

[@jokesonu3412]

You can't go wrong with Childe, he is amazing.
