Greetings! I would need a tip from my favourite Childe main, could you give me a tip to build him, mind helping me?
Hello!! Thankyou for the ask 💙! First of all, I'd like to clarify that I do like the meta, but i prefer making my own fun teams and optimising the builds around them. Another thing, I haven't used any of the teams in abyss yet so I'm not sure how optimal they are. I'd share two of my Childe teams, and how I focus on his Gameplay:
C0 Childe (4 pc Heart of Depth | Amos)
C4 Layla (4pc Noblesse Oblige | Sacrificial Sword)
C3 Fischl (2pc Glad, 2pc Shim | Hamayumi)
C1 Kuki (4pc Gilded Dreams | Dark Iron Sword)
This is pretty much a quick swap team. The maximum time I'm on Childe's melee mode is around 8-10 seconds.
The damage comes mostly from Electrocharged and Childe's elemental skill. Since I don't use his burst much, 4pc Shimenawa's Reminisce can be used as well.
I use Layla's shield first, followed By Kuki's skill and then fischl's. Then I switch to Childe's Melee stance and within 10 seconds things are mostly dead. If they're not, Kuki and Layla's skills reset within that duration and I use them to proc Superconduct. This helps Fischl's Normal attacks to deal damage while Childe is in cooldown. Once the cd resets, I again do the rotation.
AoE attacks, good damage over time and everyone has good personal damage. Layla has permanent uptime on her burst and thus the Noblesse can be proced consistently.
It's easy to mess up the rotation, the cooldown period can cost time in the abyss if used against multiple mobs.
C0 Childe (2pc Noblesse, 2pc Heart of Depth| Amos)
C2 Mona (4pc Emblem | Widsith)
C0 Kazuha (4pc Viridescent | Iron Sting)
C0 Ayato (4pc Heart of Depth | Jade Cutter)
I start with Mona's burst, do Kazuha's burst, followed by Childe ranged burst and Ayato's burst. Kazuha's skill once for crowd control. Then I use Ayato's skill to clean up what's left.
During Ayato's cooldown, I generally use Mona's normals since she is C2 and it lrocs her charged attacks randomly. Being on Emblem she also funnels particles into the team so that the bursts are back up.
Keep in mind here Kazuha is also on a dos build so that everyone is doing their own damage.
Childe shines here due to his high burst multiplier and huge AoE. Accidentally swapping to him isn't a problem either since his skill can dish out numbers as well.
I don't know, this feels like a very copium team. But it's fun! :D
Not following the order can mess up the numbers. Also not good for Hypostasis bosses since the burst animations take up a lot of time.
Childe is an extremely versatile character who can be used for both his skill and burst. Hell you can even use him as a charged shot dps in single-member teams.
To create his teams, weapons and artifacts, you need to consider which part of his kit you want to focus on, and if you want one big number or multiple numbers over time.
He is strong by himself and doesn't really need reactions to be good (unless you're speed running the abyss).
Bonus: You might've seen that i don't run him with vaporise, that is because I don't have Bennett and my Emblem set is extremely copium and doesn't work on Xiangling.
For further reference, here are some more of the usual meta builds for him:
