How to Beat Childe

Beat the 3 Phases

Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3
Hydro	Electro	Electro + Hydro

Childe has 3 Phases you must beat. In Phase one Childe only uses Hydro Elemental attacks. In Phase 2 Childe switches to only Electro Elemental attacks and in Phase 3 Childe uses both Hydro and Electro Elemental attacks interchangeably.

Break His Shield Twice to Knock Childe Down

In Phases 1 and 2 Childe deploys a shield that reduces incoming DMG. Breaking both of these shields will knock Childe down creating a perfect chance to strike.

Save your Elemental Skills or Bursts for when Childe deploys his shield to quickly break it and go all out.

Keep Close to the Edges

After Phase 2, Childe will occasionally mark the player for a high damaging lighting strike which can easily KO a party member. This attack can by cancelled by standing in the Pyro effect in the edge of the field which will remove the mark.

You can also avoid the Narwhal diving attack by keeping to the edges and keeping an eye on its AoE as well.

Childe Attack Patterns

Phase 1 - Childe, 11th of the Fatui Harbingers

Attack Patterns	How to Dodge
Celestial Voyager	Childe summons a Hydro whale. Be sure to stand outside of the AoE when the whale is summoned then quickly move towards Childe just before it crashes into the floor to avoid the second larger AoE.
Hydro Arrow Rain	Childe fires 8 consecutive Hydro shots that create AoEs and tracks the player. Simply walk out of the AoEs.

Rush	Childe rushes across the field up to 5 times with his Electro glaive.
