Critical Rate, and Critical Damage stats.<br><br>Aim for a minimum of 1,800 Attack, which is pretty easy to achieve through suitable artifact main stats and sub-stats, as well as weapon selection.<br><br>You want to aim a Crit Rate of at least 60% to ensure consistent high damage output.<br><br>This is essential for consistently applying the Rip Tide status to enemies during Tartaglia&#8217;s Elemental Skill duration.<br><br>This consistent application, in turn, allows you to trigger the Rip Tide Slash, unleashing additional AoE Hydro Damage alongside your regular attacks, with a new instance occurring every 1.5 seconds.<br><br>Ideally, you also want to get at least 120% Critical Damage, but you want to get this as high as possible through your artifacts.<br><br>Childe doesn&#8217;t require a lot of ER, so a range of 120% to 130% is plenty.<br><br>You can even leave it at its base 100% ER if you have some excellent artifact sub-stat rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"talent-priority\">Talent Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\"

max both of them if you can.<br><br>You can consider leaving his Normal Attack at level 6 to save resources, as it doesn&#8217;t impact the damage scaling of his Melee Stance.<br><br>However, it&#8217;s worth noting that the Normal Attack talent also boosts the damage of the Riptide Burst effect.<br><br>This effect triggers when you defeat an enemy affected by the Riptide status, dealing additional AoE Hydro damage and applying Riptide to nearby enemies.<br><br>At level 9, this adds 105% AoE Hydro damage, so it would make sense to level it up if you want to maximize Tartaglia\u2019s damage output when dealing with multiple enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"artifact-set-options\">Artifact Set Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using Childe, you want to be doing some normal and charged attacks, as well as elemental bursts during a team rotation.<br><br>So, it would make sense to gauge all of the relevant damages he can do while on the field.<br><br>The 4-Piece Nymp\u2019s Dream checks out all these boxes, making it the best artifact set for Tartaglia.<br><br>This set provides an Attack and Hydro damage buff that can stack up to 3 times, significantly boosting Childe&#8217;s overall damage output while he&#8217;s on the field.<br><br>Maintaining three stacks is relatively easy too due to how Tartaglia\u2019s kit works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4-piece Shimenawa&#8217;s Reminiscence set significantly boosts Childe&#8217;s normal and charged attacks during his Melee Stance.<br><br>However, it poses challenges for casting his elemental burst, as it reduces his energy gauge upon activating the elemental skill.<br><br>Moreover, it results in lower damage for the Rip Tide Slash and Elemental Burst than the 4-piece Nymph&#8217;s set.<br><br>This makes the 4-piece Heart of Depth set a better alternative.<br><br>Although it doesn&#8217;t enhance Normal and Charged Attacks as effectively as Shimenawa&#8217;s, it avoids energy issues, ensuring consistent Elemental Burst usage.<br><br>Furthermore, it offers slightly better damage for Childe&#8217;s Rip Tide Slash and Elemental Burst.<br><br>And while Nymph&#8217;s Dream set is about 8% stronger overall, having favorable sub-stats for the Heart of Depth set can compensate for this difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4-piece Echoes of an Offering set becomes a viable choice if you prefer not to use Charged Attacks during combat, as it significantly enhances Childe&#8217;s normal attacks while his elemental skill is active.<br><br>But given that this artifact set isn&#8217;t Childe&#8217;s best-in-slot, opting for 2-piece alternatives could be a more efficient approach, especially when factoring in the Resins needed for farming.<br><br>For the 2-piece options, the Nymph&#8217;s Dream and Heart of Depth combination is a solid choice.<br><br>This 2-set combination can outperform the complete Artifact sets if you have superior sub-stat rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can mix and match the 2-piece Nymph\u2019s Dream or Heart of Depth sets with either the 2-piece Vermillion, Gladiator, or Shimenawa sets.<br><br>And if you want to focus more on Childe\u2019s elemental burst damage, consider using the 2-piece Heart of Depth or Nymph\u2019s Dream sets in combination with the 2-piece Noblesse Oblige set.<br><br>Opting for the 2-piece combinations of the Vermillion Hereafter, Gladiator\u2019s Finale, or Shimenawa&#8217;s Reminiscence can also be a viable temporary choice.<br><br>You likely have many of these artifacts in your inventory, making them great temporary sets to use while you farm for better rolls for a complete set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a quick comparison of all these artifact set combinations with Childe&#8217;s relevant damage on the field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Artifact<br>Set<\/th><th

returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energy Recharge can aid in convenient energy generation, but getting around 120 to 130% should suffice if you primarily use Childe&#8217;s elemental burst in the Ranged Stance rather than the Melee Stance.<br><br>Lastly, while Elemental Mastery can enhance Childe&#8217;s elemental reaction damage, he applies so much hydro on enemies that he ends up as the enabler for off-field elemental applications most of the time.<br><br>An excellent example of this is the Childe and Xiangling combo.<br><br>Therefore, the 4th sub-stat doesn&#8217;t carry significant

id=\"4-star-options\">4-star Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the 4-star bows, you have several viable choices depending on your artifact sub-stat rolls.<br><br>Achieving around 60% Crit Rate through your artifacts makes the R5 Rust, Mouun&#8217;s Moon, and Hamayumi some pretty solid options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R5 Mouun&#8217;s Moon has the lowest average damage for Normal and Charged Attacks during Childe&#8217;s elemental skill.<br><br>Nevertheless, it compensates for this by significantly enhancing his elemental burst damage.<br><br>This effect becomes especially noticeable when using his elemental burst in his Melee Stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, you will lose some of your Charged Attack Damage with the R5 Rust, but this is significantly offset when using lots of normal attacks.<br><br>Overall, it provides more reliable damage output than Mouun&#8217;s Moon because you don&#8217;t need to be overly concerned about consistently maintaining your elemental burst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, R5 Hamayumi strikes a balance between Rust and Mouun&#8217;s Moon but falls slightly behind in terms of overall damage output compared to the other two options.<br><br>All three of these weapon options scale the Attack Stat, which means you&#8217;ll need solid Crit Rate sub-stats on your artifacts to maximize their effectiveness.<br><br>That said, it would be easier to increase your Critical Rate stats with the Viridescent Hunt or Scion of the Blazing Sun Battle Pass weapons.<br><br>While these weapons may have lower damage potential than indicated in the chart, the simulation assumes a base Critical Rate stat of 60%.<br><br>In reality, increasing your Critical Rate sub-stats can be pretty challenging, especially for characters like Childe, who do not receive Crit Rate bonuses from character ascension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The R5 Stringless can enhance Childe&#8217;s elemental burst damage but falls short of compensating for the damage discrepancy when considering Childe&#8217;s specific playstyle.<br><br>Consequently, this weapon is better suited for use with other characters who can fully utilize its Elemental Mastery bonus and weapon effects, such as Fischl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other good 4-star bow alternatives include the Blackcliff Warbow, Royal Bow, Alley Hunter, Prototype Crescent, Song of Stillness, and the King&#8217;s Squire as temporary weapons until you get some better ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Weapons<\/th><th

potential among all the weapon options.<br><br>It enhances his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage by 12%, and you can get up to 40% more Attack through its secondary weapon effect.<br><br>Moreover, maintaining three stacks is pretty easy since Rip Tide Slash and Rip Tide Burst are categorized as elemental skill damage.<br><br>Lastly, you can consistently maintain four stacks with an optimal skill rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thundering Pulse is an excellent alternative.<br><br>However, it comes with a Crit Damage secondary stat, which might necessitate using a Critical Rate Circlet if you don&#8217;t have sufficient Crit Rate sub-stats.<br><br>But, this weapon can really strong because you can also easily maintain its maximum three stacks bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite having a low Base Attack, Aqua Simulacra compensates with notably high Critical Damage secondary stats.<br><br>Moreover, its secondary weapon effect remains consistently active during combat, eliminating the need for any stacking, unlike some other 5-star options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a mono Hydro team, you can make the most out of the First Great Magic bow, and it will only trail behind the Polar Star and Thundering Pulse.<br><br>But even in a typical Vape team composed of Xiangling, Kazuha and Bennett, it is still better than most 5-star weapons in terms of damage potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being one of the lower-tier 5-star options, the Skyward Harp lags behind the Polar Star by only about 7%, which is still quite respectable.<br><br>It also gives Crit

charged attack damage but offers an exceptionally high Crit Rate as its secondary stat.<br><br>This allows you to prioritize equipping Childe with artifacts with high Crit Damage sub-stats without worrying too much about your Crit Rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, while Amos&#8217; Bow ranks lowest among 5-star options, it still outperforms any 4-star alternatives in terms of damage
