How to Beat Childe

Survive the 3 Phases

Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3
Hydro	Electro	Electro + Hydro

Childe has 3 Phases you must beat before you can clear the encounter. 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 the Fight 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.

Use Hydro and Electro Resistance Potions

Childe's Phases	Reommended Potions
Phase 1	Desiccant Potion
Phase 2	Insulation Potion
Phase 3	+

Since Childe's elements change depending on the Phase, we recommended to prepare Elemental Resistance potions beforehand. Childe's attacks deal quite a bit of damage so being able to mitigate 25% of Hydro and Electro DMG will help secure survivability.

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.
Hydro Wave Shots	Childe jumps and fires 5 large wave shots in a straight line. They can be dodged through if you're about to be hit.

Phase 2 - Childe, Delusion Unleashed

Attack Patterns	How to Dodge
Rush	Childe rushes across the field up to 5 times with his Electro glaive.
Electro Spear	Childe charges up and sets a lock on ring around the player before jumping and crashing down. If you get locked on you'll need to dodge through before just Childe lands or use invincibility frames from an Elemental Burst.
Electro Combo	Childe unleashes a 5 hit melee combo. As the attacks have a very wide range its best to dodge by simply backing away and creating distance.

Phase 3 - Childe

Attack Patterns	How to Dodge
Crescent Slash	Childe changes stance before unleashing a wide crescent slash. Its best to stay close to Childe to effectively dodge.
Rush	Childe rushes up to 4 times across the field but slower than Phase 2. You can dodge by moving in a circular motion around the field.
Double Slash	Childe slashes twice, on the left and right. The range is rather short so its best to stay back.
Slice/Cross Slash/Spinning Blade	Childe does a 3 hit combo. Once you see the cross slash, dodge left or right.
Empowered Arrow Rain	Childe fires a volley of arrows into the sky. The field will be covered with 4 massive AoEs, leaving only the center of the field and 4 outer edges as safe zones.
Hydro Wave Slashes	Childe launches 3 Hydro slashes. These can be dodged through if you're about to be hit.
Hydro Pillars	Childe summons a volley of Hydro pillars in a straight line. You can safely approach diagonally during this attack.
Hydro Dragon	Childe charges energy before firing a Hydro dragon in a straight line. Once you see the charge animation quickly dodge out of the way.
Hydro Shots	Childe fires Hydro arrows in a straight line. Dodge by moving in a clockwise direction.
Lightning Strike	Childe targets the player with an AoE before several Electro pillars crash down. Quickly step out of the AoE circle.
Lightning Ring	Childe backs away and throws a spinning blade around the field. Since this blade continuously spin around the edge of the field, its best to stay towards the center.
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.
