Tartaglia is still the #1 hydro enabler! | UPDATED Childe Build Guide

A complete in-depth Childe Build Guide in 2023. I discuss how his skills work in detail like his different stances, Riptide Flash, Burst, Blast, and what this is all about. His optimal durations in melee stance, combos, and more, and give you a lot of techs to get the most out of him. Furthermore of course his best weapons, artifacts, and teams too. This guide will show you how you get the most damage out of him, and any changes to Tartaglia's gameplay in recent times.

Doesn't hutao still meta because of xingqiu and yelan? @@camdu6146 can anyone fill his role?, no

[@NerdEmoji1067]

I pulled his c1 on his second banner. People say “if you use good rotations you don’t have to worry about cooldown!” But you can’t always do perfect rotations. If you get staggered it’s over. Plus having to always be paying attention to those tiny details just isn’t fun. So if you pulled him and regretted it, his c1 makes him so fun.

[@Gol_D_Looks]

Nah I would but decided not to just a slight 3 second cooldown😅 I can just switch to Kazuha, Bennett, Xiangling anyways its not that noticeable C1 is only for Quality Life I would rather get Zhongli.

[@Juice-chan]

i'm sorry but this is just a skill-issue problem, just use easier visual cues or just stop his E after xl's burst ends his C1 is kind of a waste

With all that Hydro application, Childe still leaves us all thirsty! Thanks for the great guide! I want to work on him a bit, i know he's really good but I haven't gotten the hang of him yet. But now I'm inspired to try again! Thanks, Juice!

us childe enjoyers are truly well-hydrated good luck, i hope you have fun with him!!! :D really glad to see you & anytime

[@aruu1217]

23:56 just a correction, you have to HOLD kazuha's skill to swirl pyro bcs holding it will infuse kazuha's skill with pyro. The 15% pyro dmg you showed in the screen is from c6 bennett. Otherwise, great video!

thanks for the correction, & i'm glad you enjoyed :D

[@MufasaSama]

@Juice-chan Thanks! I'm honoured to be introduced into the tartaglia team Actually this whole 4.0 was painful for me, 4 of my most wanted 5-star characters are all stuffed together (Childe, hu tao, yelan, zhongli) managed to get both yelan and childe, it's my 3rd 50/50 win in a row and I hope hu tao continues the win streak~ I'm glad I found your channel, I like your content and you seem pretty chill ❤️

[@Achan1000]

this guide is insanely detailed, thank you I have him for some time now but I didn't know many of them

[@Juice-chan]

:D glad it was useful!

[@alaricss]

hello!! childe's skill doesn't turn his normal and charged attacks into elemental skill dmg. the melee stance multipliers come from the elemental skill talent, but they are still considered normal and charged attack damage. the only part that is considered elemental skill damage is the initial cast of his skill and the aoe riptide slash that procs when he attacks marked enemies in his melee stance.

[@Juice-chan]

thank you for the correction!!! :)

[@Mordred_King]

Stringless is insane on him, i do have Mouun's Moon and it deals less damage than my Stringless R3, my melee burst is hitting more than 300k, this character change my account forever and even if you are F2P you can compete against whale accounts, this is by far the best team in the game for F2P and tryhard players, Childe supremacy forever🛐

[@Kazu_2009]

Damn i did not know he was that good... I was pulling for some star glitter and got him by accident in 9 pulls O_O. So i JUST HAD TO BUILD HIM. luckily i got some nice heart of depth pieces (need one more piece for 4 piece set), and i have Kazuha, bennet (c6 but not activated yet), and i also have c3 Xiangling. So im set --> all that is left is to build him now. Ty for this amazing guide Juice ( you just earned yourself a new subscriber!). And btw ty for explaining all that snap shoting thing i been tryina figure out what it means for like 2 years now!!! 😭😭❤

[@Juice-chan]

yep he is literally THAT good!!! congrats on pulling such a nuts character!!! sounds like your set-up is good to go too :) anytime, glad you enjoyed! thanks for sticking around! & i'm glad it benefitted you, just thought it was worth explaining in this video since childe's such a complex unit ^ ^

[@giraffejoker563]

Love your clips! Very thoughtful choices and easier to understand than dry text. I don't recommend using melee burst when facing a single boss unless you are pressed for time in abyss. International is an energy hungry team and facing one enemy makes things way worse. I only use melee burst against mobs, so that it is easier to get the energy back, while still having a chance to enjoy the cool animation.

[@Juice-chan]

:D glad you found this engaging! good advice too, i just recommended it due to the huge power it has but in this case you do save some energy, either way ranged burst >>> in general

[@giraffejoker563]

@@Juice-chan Thanks for the reply! Yeah ranged burst is more universal while the melee burst is super powerful! I'd love to see a video how you can actually increase Tartaglia's damage from 74k to 823k!

[@neokatwastaken]

I always wanted Childe ever since I started playing genshin back in 1.0, but I never managed to get him because I was dumb and was spending all my primogems on the standard banner lol. Started a new account in 3.8 now that I know how to not ruin an account in 5 seconds and have been saving up all the way until his rerun, lost the 50/50 but still managed to get him. Cant wait use to mr. worldwide after all this time lol, thanks for the helpful guide!

[@Juice-chan]

really glad that you finally got him! as a huge childe advocate myself, truly wish you the best with your sexy worldwide & you enjoy playing through the game again :) thank you for watching!

I loved this guide and want to try it. I want your piece of advice here, so I have C0 Childe that I cannot decide which weapon to use on him. I have R1 Skyward Harp / R1 The First Great Magic Bow and some other 4 star weapons. Which Weapon do you advise me to use with which artifact sets?

[@Felis0000]

Could I use Lynette in place of Kazuha? as she provides atk boost on her burst, with 2 pc 2 pc Hydro dmg bonus, shouldn't be huge dps loss right?

[@Thurmanism]

The best 4* anemo support is definitely sucrose but you could use Lynette

[@Juice-chan]

i'd say if sucrose is too clunky for you, using any other anemo is better then nothing, so yes you can use her but you won't really get the best grouping

[@Felis0000]

@@Juice-chan Sucrose isn't clunky to me, but she is at c0 that's my only worry.

[@CindersGD]

Just got childe from accidentally clicking the wrong banner, would lynette work in place of sucrose/kazuha? I don't have either characters but I have c4 lynette.

[@chandraochatto]

Sadly Lynette can't really CC

[@RadhaKrishnKunjo]

Is that good to use Beidou instead of Kazuha in international,Or any other substitute of Kazuha other than Sucrose,I don't like Sucrose,It makes the team very vulnerable!

[@Juice-chan]

you can but beidou will have severe energy issues, she's only good in AOE & overload knocks enemies back, i'd say just use another anemo like lynette or jean or something at that point

[@chiquilio]

great video as always!, the discord sounds distracted me a little bit though

[@Juice-chan]

Oh boy you are right. I will fix that with that video. Thank you for watching 🥰

[@doctorbuzzkill2658]

So is it worth activating c6 bennet for international? Is it a slight dps increase? I saw you mention it towards the end of the vid. Just seeing if it's worth it?

[@Juice-chan]

yes it is worth it :)

[@doctorbuzzkill2658]

Well it's done. No going back. INTERNATIONAL 4 Life!

[@distritochristianangeloa.157]

So is Lyney's bow great on him?

[@SarDaarWitch]

i have had childe since the last banner and came to know he is literally one of the worst nightmares for enemies. I have searching videos for his correct setup. After watching your video, which I literally enjoyed (your sense of humour needs a C6 upgrade though😂), I am made sure of the painful fact that the cap comes at the right artifacts. I still can't farm the "right" artifacts for the whole team. and by right, I mean with proper main and sub stats. Otherwise still now, I am stuck at just 5k damage with his burst at lvl 60 😢

[@Juice-chan]

my cringy humor is S-tier whaddya mean :D balls ICD level his burst to 8 minimum, its a total nuke! you're missing out otherwise xiangling needs 4PC EOSF, bennett noblesse or instructors, kazuha VV, & childe as i said has a variety of sets! take your time farming & use the strongbox ^-^

[@Squaretheone]

i pulled 6c childe what do i do ?

[@sofabored2150]

I want him for my all tall man team.

[@AyameAkito]

One thing about Amos' Bow while is a good 5 star bow and the Atk% can be decent beyond that it brings nothing to the table, the passive is completely wasted on Tartaglia since it only applies to his normal bow stance while melee stance doesn't benefit at all due to be considered Elemental Skill.

you aren't getting what i mean. i said SOLO nahida. SOLO nahida is crap since she needs reactions to help her, on her own she's literally useless, but within TEAMS she is really good. so its not a shocker if childe is much better in TEAMS as well, because this is a TEAM game. also abyss usage rates say nothing about how good a unit is, a lot of people like raiden for example, but in reality she's just overrated due to being easy to play
