CR/CD/ATK Sub-Stat Weapon Is Ideal

For an On-Field DPS Build, it's essential to have weapons that will have either Crit Rate, Crit DMG, or ATK% as their main stat. Polar Star is the most ideal because of its Weapon Skill, but any stat stick will also work.

CR/CD/ATK Sub-Stat Weapon Is Ideal

Because you want to cause Crit when you Vaporize, it's important to have a good CR/CD ratio. This will ensure that when you use your ult, there's a high chance it will Crit on impact.

Childe (Tartaglia) Skill Guide & How To Use Childe (Tartaglia)

Recommended Rotation For Childe

Recommended Rotation
1Unleash the off field skills of Supports that you use.
2Use Childe's Elemental Skill, use your Normal Attack or charge attacks for 6-8 seconds only
3 Repeat from 1.
*Use Ranged Elemental Burst if you need to apply Riptide across multiple enemies. This does not use all of the energy so use this at Start Combo if you have energy.
Use Melee Elemental Burst against enemies with riptide/for higher damage. A great finishing move.

Uses Of Childe's Elemental Skill

Switches Childe's Attacks To Melee

Childe is the first character introduced that can change his type of attacks with the activation of his skill. From a bow, you can switch to a melee stance to get up close and personal to your enemies.

Riptide Applied When Hitting Critical Shots

Whenever Childe gets crits while in melee stance, his unique debuff Riptide will be applied to that enemy. Riptide will cause additional Hydro damage when activated and will spread to other enemies.

Hydro Applied With Every Attack

Childe becomes a Hydro enabler in his melee stance since all of his normal and charge attacks will apply Hydro. He also applies them fairly fast due to his quick normal Melee attack animation.

Childe's Elemental Burst

Deals Different Attack Depending On Childe's Current Stance

The type of attack Childe does when using his burst will change depending on the stance that he is currently in. The main difference between them are their effects. Ranged stance will apply Riptide to enemies while the Melee ELemental Burst will activate Riptide.

High Damage Burst That Hits Multiple Enemies

Childe's Burst has a high damage output on his own and even more so when dealing Vaporize. It's one of the highest damage ceiling single hit Burst damage currently in the game!

Childe (Tartaglia) Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Childe (Tartaglia)?

Pull For A Hydro On-Field DPS/Enabler

Childe

Childe's main strength is that he can easily apply Hydro to multiple enemies at a time from both his Elemental Burst and his Elemental Skill, while also doing good damage. However, to get the most out of him, it's recommended to pull for his constellations.

Best Constellation For Childe (Tartaglia)

RatingConstellation
Effect
★★★★★C1: Foul Legacy: Tide Withholder
Decreases the CD of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by 20%.
★・・・・C2: Foul Legacy: Understream
When opponents affected by Riptide are defeated, Tartaglia regenerates 4 Elemental Energy.
★★★・・C3: Abyssal Mayhem: Vortex Of Turmoil
Increases the Level of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★★★・C4: Abyssal Mayhem
If Tartaglia is in Foul Legacy: Raging Tide's Melee Stance, triggers Riptide Slash against opponents on the field affected by Riptide every 4s, otherwise, triggers Riptide Flash.
Riptide Slashes and Riptide Flashes triggered by this Constellation effect are not subject to the time intervals that would typically apply to these two Riptide effects, nor do they have any effect on those time intervals.
★★★・・C5: Havoc: Formless Blade
Increases the Level of Havoc: Obliteration by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★・・・C6: Havoc: Annihilation
When Havoc: Obliteration is cast in Melee Stance, the CD of Foul Legacy: Raging Tide is reset. This effect will only take place once Tartaglia returns to his Ranged Stance.

C1 Helps With His Skill Cooldown Issue

Childe's biggest problem is his Skill's conditional cooldown. At C1, it would help alleviate that problem since it decreases the cooldown by 20%.

Foul Legacy: Raging Tide (Elemental Skill)

Effect
Unleashes a set of weaponry made of pure water, dealing Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents and entering Melee Stance. In this Stance, Tartaglia's Normal and Charged Attacks are converted to Hydro DMG that cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion and change as follows:
・After 30s, or when the ability is unleashed again, this skill will end. Tartaglia will return to his Ranged Stance and this ability will enter CD. The longer Tartaglia stays in his Melee Stance, the longer the CD. If the return to a ranged stance occurs automatically after 30s, the CD is even longer.
