What Happened To Childe? | Genshin Impact

"He's like that ex-boyfriend you thought you moved on from but he keeps showing up to remind you of him" - Thus, Vars explaining the appeal of the Chilumi ship.

In their 2.0 livestream, the devs said Childe is the most difficult character they've ever made. Being able to switch fighting styles on the fly has brought all kinds of coding issues, thus there was never another character that plays like him

Personally, I love that Childe starts getting recognition. He is the earliest example of Hoyo team going above and beyond on creating a character. In early interview, one of the character designer/rigger said that he is the most complex character they created and to gave example, they goes into alot of detail on just how to make the man's scarf flows correctly in his skills. Add that to having two burst etc, you will be surprised that he was not the fave child

bro I’m so surprised that people don’t like childe his personality and design is sooooo wonderful to me

"You always come crawling right back to him" is so true. He was my first limited 5*. I used him a lot, then switched to other characters. Then I have constantly came back to using him, and remembering how much fun he is gameplay and personality-wise.

How broken would Tartaglia be if we could play as his Foul Legacy Delusion

Without a doubt childe is hoyo's favorite son (ayaka being fave daughter) Hoyo treats childe the same way Kishimoto treats sasuke. They build a character that is integral to the main story, give him a backstory that makes him wanna get stronger, give him abilities that can rival the MC, win some huge battles, lose some major battles and get one-sided defeated by an opponent stronger than him. At the end of the struggle, they make a character that is beloved by many regardless of his reputation Its been like 3 yrs and even w/ the release of neuvillette, he is still meta with his international comp. He is basically a character that hoyo took time and effort to a be a worth it character whether be F2P or whale Even CN players call him the golden boy and ayaka being the diamond princess of hoyo. Although people might disagree because its always the waifus, ya'll forget that hoyo does that to appease those players but they always have their favorites and would find time to put them in the spotlight multiple times

In abyss Childe always sits in the top 15-25, with his usage rate being 30% on average. Most 5 star DPS characters had ups and down in their usage but childe remains consistent. Additional fact, his international team is the most used team for most of abyss runs and never fell below 3rd position.

This ain’t stopping me from using childe he’s just too satisfying to play. Riptide is just 👌

The comment here 13:05 just hits me so much. Childe was honestly the reason i started playing genshin. He was my 1st limited 5 star and even though i have other dps characters now like Ayato, Alhaitham, and Neuvillette, I always seem to stick to him as my main dps for my story team and one of my abyss team.

still aged like a fine wine even with Neuvillette around

My boy Tartaglia will never be forgot, the best comrade you could find 💪🏻

You should make a video on the state of Baizhu-- he's basically a Dendro Kokomi that can grant up to a 100% increase to Hyperbloom damage, yet he's still criminally underplayed

Childe is literally one of my characters that just brute forces me to play him. First, I got him, then I got his c1 and when i just for memes pulled weapon banner with polar star right after getting c1, banner threw this bow in my face after 20 pulls. I'm rebuilding him with this nymph hydro set right now, and even with shit 2+2 artifacts he deals solid damage. And I love his personality, his appearence in main story always leaves an impression (and his own story left me crying, like literally)

I feel like the answer to these is inevitably: 1) Dendro happened 2) Hydro is OP

It's just insane that his team stayed a meta team since 1.1 and till now it's one of the best f2p teams out there and the second most used team in abyss

childes kit had a lot of nuance considering the time he came out in and his kit was pretty well suited for dendro compared to other year one 5 stars. He also got a new sig weapon later on and some of they new artifacts are also quite good on him . Overall his kit is still somewhat unique and is great for driving reactions while dealing decent damage himself

Childe Hyperbloom is like my favorite team comp. National is great too. I have picked up a copy or 2 of him on each rerun and finally got him C6 in 4.0. :D

Pop Tart, Yae, Nahida and Kuki helped me a lot through the early days of Sumeru.I've had him since his first banner, and while I've used him on and off again, dendro really helped raise his stocks if you ask me.

After my 2 years of genshin, I wished and got him on 4.0 banner because I saw his meta capabilities is improving even in the latest version. He is still worth the primogems despite other hydro dps.
