Best Childe DPS Build in Genshin Impact

Tartaglia, popularly known by alias ‘Childe,’ is the youngest Fatui Harbinger in Genshin Impact. He was the first character to receive triple character banners. Because of this, many players have access to Childe in Genshin Impact.

Childe has mastered a variety of weapons and is least adept with the bow. To refine his skills, he prefers to use a bow in the game. Childe’s Elemental Skill makes him a fantastic Hydro enabler. Moreover, his Elemental Burst has very high scaling, allowing him to hit big damage numbers in Genshin Impact.

How to Build Childe DPS in Genshin Impact

If you have Childe in your account, do not sleep on his powerful kit. This article will help you turn Childe into an amazing DPS.

Best Weapon for Childe

Every character’s true potential is locked behind their weapon. For Childe, his signature weapon, Polar Star, is the best option. This weapon has a unique passive that you can easily use to full potential with Childe. At max level, Polar Star has a base attack of 608 and provides 33.1% Crit Rate.

Thundering Pulse comes pretty close to Polar Star as Childe’s BiS (Best-in-Slot). Instead of Crit Rate, it provides a whopping 66.2% Crit DMG. If you have a decent Crit Rate from artifacts, Thundering Pulse will be a great choice for Childe.

Enough of 5-star weapons; here are Childe’s best 4-star weapon options:

• Viridescent Hunt (Useful passive for Riptide effect)
• Blackcliff Warbow (F2P option with useful Crit DMG stat)
• Rust (Decent passive at high refinements)
• Stringless (Works pretty well in Vaporise and Taser teams)

Best Artifacts for Childe

Childe’s best artifact set is 4-Pieces Heart of Depth. This set provides:

• 2-Pieces bonus: Hydro DMG Bonus +15%
• 4-Pieces bonus: After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.

Childe can easily benefit from the 4-Pieces Heart of Depth artifact set. Sadly, farming a decent 4-Pieces of an artifact set can take a long time. If you are not up for grinding, you can use the following artifact set combinations of Childe:

• 2-Pieces Heart of Depth + 2-Pieces 18% ATK set
• 2-Pieces Noblesse Oblige + 2-Pieces Heart of Depth
• 2-Pieces 18% ATK set + 2-Pieces Noblesse Oblige

As for the main stats, you should have the following on your artifacts:

• ATK%/EM on Sands
• Hydro DMG Bonus on Sands
• Crit Rate/DMG on Circlet

In case of artifact sub stats, prioritize Crit Rate and Crit DMG over other stats. After these two, ATK% and Elemental Mastery are recommended for Childe.
