What Happened To Childe? | Genshin Impact

One of the earliest five stars in the game, Childe/Tartaglia took a while to get going, spending most of version 1 as a niche carry pick. But ever since version 2 and especially into version 3 he experienced a major glowup, becoming one of the best units in the game for general clearing. For today's episode of What Happened To, we'll be featuring the rich rizzler himself: Childe!

"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

[Someone-zndh]

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

[ninakatz]

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

[Morichoradio]

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.

"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.

[midnight_jay]

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.

[danielferrieri]

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

[notalex]

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

Riptide is just 👌

[crisen_]

still aged like a fine wine even with Neuvillette around

[weregretohio]

I feel like the answer to these is inevitably:

1) Dendro happened
2) Hydro is OP

[holywitch]

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)

[pointlessfeather]

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

[yuuichiro]

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

[bluefenneris]

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

[yaya-ehfi]

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

[talal_salamah]

just a quick little correction, the childe national team before kazuha wasn't as much "inefficient" as it was just cringe to play, the team was still one of the best but double swirling with sucrose was less reliable compared to kazuha, basically what i mean is kazuha didn't make the team, he just made it easier to play more than anything.

[xJuno]

childe mains are also some of the sweetest people i met in co-op.. most of them got super hyped when they realised i main dps barbara and it's just so oddly comforting

[playmobilegamescodm]

I like how you portrayed Ei. That's what she is for Throwing Her Son. Childe on other hand Takes care of his brother and Sister.

I see him as older brother.
