So, you aim to beat Childe, huh? Or Ajax, as his mom calls him. Whether he’s Tartaglia or that annoying ginger Fatui Harbinger ruining your game, this boss can be tough. But don’t worry! We will show you how to make him regret his choices. Maybe we’ll also learn why he has three names.
Decoding the Enigma: Who IS This Childe Guy Anyway?
This guy has more names than a villain. Call him Ajax, Tartaglia, or Childe. He answers to all of them. It seems he couldn’t pick a persona. “Childe” is just his Fatui code name. It’s likely because “Menace McThreatFace” was taken. And oh yes, he’s Hydro. Water you expecting?
Round One: Face-Punching Fundamentals for Fighting Childe
Let’s skip the name chatter. Time for tactics. Fighting Childe isn’t about charging in – unless your weapons are good at evasion. Here’s the plan:
Slow and Steady Wins the Race (Against Childe’s Face)
Chill out, Captain Aggro. This fight is a marathon. Focus on dodging his attacks like your life depends on it. In Teyvat, it does. Stay alive over dealing massive damage first. Trust me, running out of Sweet Madames halfway through phase two is a bad idea. Evasion and damage reduction are vital.
Move Over, Sherlock: Time to Read Childe’s Combat Cues
Childe shows his moves like a mime at a festival. Watch his animations! Learn his patterns. Wait for glorious openings after heavy hits. Punish those openings like they owe you primogems. Patience is key, young grasshopper.
Assemble Your Avengers (But Make Sure They Can Heal)
Good team composition is crucial. And guess what? You absolutely need a healer. Don’t even think of going in without one. Barbara, Bennett, Jean, Kokomi, Qiqi, Sayu – choose whoever can heal you when Childe decides you need a Hydro enema. For more tips on team-building, check out the Genshin Impact Wiki on Childe. They likely know some useful information.
Want Your Own Personal Childe? Gacha Games 101
You fought him. Maybe you even liked him enough to want him on your team. How to get your own Tartaglia? Prepare for “wishing.” You use Primogems to roll on banners. When Childe has a banner, try your luck to summon him. It’s digital gambling with anime characters.
But here’s the kicker: it’s all RNG! Random Number Generator. No guarantee you’ll get Childe, no matter how many times you wish (don’t spend a million primogems). It’s chance-based. May the Archons of Gacha be in your favor.
Unlock Childe’s Confession Booth (Story Quest Time)
Curious about Childe’s backstory? Want to know what drives him? He has a story quest for that! Like everything good in Teyvat, there are prerequisites.
Quest Requirements: Check Your To-Do List
First, finish the Archon Quest Chapter One, Act Three: “A New Star Approaches.” If you haven’t made it to Liyue, slow down. Focus on the main story first.
You also need a Story Key. These aren’t free like candy at Halloween. Earn them by completing Commissions, daily tasks that are part of your Genshin life. Do eight Commissions to unlock the story key! Now you can explore Childe’s… *issues*.
Childe’s Combat Card: Strengths and “Oops, All Weaknesses”
What makes Childe unique in battle? Knowing strengths and weaknesses will help prevent getting demolished.
Elemental Resistance: He’s Got a Type (or Two)
He resists Hydro and Electro damage. So if your main DPS is Mona or Fischl, bench them for this fight. Bringing them against a Hydro and Electro resistant boss is like using a water gun at a flood—ineffective and embarrassing.
Double the Burst, Double the Fun (and Annoyance)
Childe has two Elemental Bursts for both stances: Ranged and Melee. This makes him versatile and unpredictable—just another way of saying “annoying to fight.” Be ready for anything because he has more tricks than a magician at a kid’s birthday party. For a deeper dive into his abilities, check Eurogamer’s Genshin Impact Childe guide.
Boss Fight Location: Golden House, Golden Opportunity to Punch Childe
Ready to battle Childe? Go to Liyue, specifically the Golden House. It’s a domain of pain and suffering (for Childe). You can find more about Weekly Boss locations on the Genshin Impact Wiki’s Weekly Boss page.
So there you have it! Your guide to beating Childe. Remember to take it slow, learn his moves, bring a healer, and pray to RNG if you’re trying to pull him. Now go forth, adventurer! Show that Harbinger who’s the real boss! And maybe he’ll finally pick one name.
