MiHoyo’s official character demo video for Childe / Tartaglia. We'll walk you through the best weapons and artifacts to make the most of this Hydro harbinger. His satisfying and straightforward playstyle is easy to rinse-and-repeat: you apply Riptide in ranged stance, then switch to a quick bout of melee to defeat enemies and spread it further. This duality is what makes Childe so unique, even among the newer Genshin Impact characters. That allows him to apply Riptide status to enemies with his bow, then follow up in melee, activating Hydro AoE damage, and spreading the effect to further opponents. If you’re thinking of pulling for Childe now that Version 2.2 is out, you should know his true strength lies in his hybrid weapon stances. His Hydro-infused blades may limit his physical damage potential, but with the right build that doesn't even matter. Just like Ayaka's Cryo, or Keqing's Electro, the charismatic eleventh harbinger of the Fatui in Genshin Impact is kind of inseparable from his element, in large part because his swords are literally made of water. If you don't like Hydro, you probably shouldn't play with Childe.
