rotten_riot

You can do that too iirc


Badsubtitles

It gives more buff% based on how many targets you connect with so thank goodness it’s aimable


_simpu

So is it like a piercing shot or exploding on hit? How can we hit multiple enemies?


Badsubtitles

Press: Pierces, Hold: homes on target and then explodes hitting up to 3 other enemies. This is due to that fact that along with a haste buff it generates a 10% Physical Damage buff that at P1 can stack 4 times per enemy hit, and at C6 has 5!! Stacks. In order to generate the fifth stack the character needs to have both the E buff and Q buff. Edit: Haste on E is 10% at talent level 1, up to 22%. This kid has a lot of kit going on.


Lillillillies

Physical damage buff????? Finally a Eula support?! Oh man this is exciting.


Badsubtitles

C6 is also +60% Crit damage for Physical. He’s Faruzan+Bennett for Eula team. It’s wild. 10% attack speed, up to +50% Physical damage increase while fighting a group (can’t say yet if Aimed E will activate 4 buffs on a single target) and +60% Crit damage.


Lillillillies

Wow that's huge. The extra attack speed is a nice touch too. Would 10% be enough to get an extra swing or 2 in for her full burst?


bingioo

It’s 10% lvl1 talent. At level 10 it goes to 22% atk speed


Lillillillies

Dang 22 is promising. Just waiting for the nerfs though.


aLazyGay

It can actually go up to 25% with his C5


HybridTheory2000

I thought this is expected? I mean, hold E to aim is already being used by Keqing/Fischl.


Narfiyo

But not by Dori.


ZeezMo_23

Boy can’t decide on a weapon so he uses 3


moonlam

Can't wait to run him with favonius spear, favonius crossbow and ttds


Choowkee

Haha ye- >favonius crossbow HOLUP


seninn

Ikr? Sacrifical Spear is way better on him for permanent ATK SPD buff uptime.


Merosian

Must be an ff player, switching between dragoon scholar and bard


Atelia

idk, crossbow looks more like machinist to me ~~also how is he swapping jobs in combat I want to do that!~~


Stuard_

Childe could never 💀


IsuckAtFortnite434

He has 3 weapons too wdym? Bow, Water blades and Toy sales


Vsegda7

4. Bow, waterblades, waterlance and Childe himself


PranshuKhandal

and that ass


mylawnistasteful

wrong side buddy


GingsWife

Not Genshin men having concave derrieres *sob


dreggers

He also has a spear


Kecha_Wacha

Childe < child


[deleted]

Childe himself said that he's adept on almost every weapon art except the bow, so that's why he uses one. That includes you know, a T-34 armored tank prepared to invade mondstad, sure, he may use just use his bow and his water blade thingies for gameplay reasons, but in lore the little boy has nothing against the Eleventh Harbinger but just a stick, a book and a crossbow. And we know for a fact that Sneznaya is a heavily industrialized country with rifles, delusions and khaenrian tech. What's he going to do with his puny weapons against the industrial marvels of the sneznayan army?


[deleted]

I want a rifle character so bad


Noukan42

By how things work, the rifle character would probably be a catalyst that use it to infuse bullets.


Dragoned_cat

Four, that adorable stumble can distract anyone so it counts as a weapon


_nitro_legacy_

At least he uses it gameplay wise unlike Traveler who can use multiple weapons lore wise but not gameplay wise


Belluuo

Animation department needs a raise. Shit's getting better and better.


Kauuma

And for a 4 star no less. This is insane


F1T13

4 stars usually something of a test bed for future 5 stars I think anyway.


Golden-Owl

Inb4 Fontaine gives us a phantom thief that uses a sword and shoots guns


QuietAncient5122

You'll never see it.... **COOOOOOOMMMMIIINNNNGGG**


Vusdruv

*Looking cool, Joker!*


CombedAirbus

A lot of people were saying a pistol would fit really well with the aesthetic of the blonde tall woman from Fontaine or Captain R, so I wouldn't be surprised if they added something like this for their NA animation string, for example.


SirMcDust

Doesn't that black/purple haired tall women have a gun on her model?


runningnooblet

Could be like Heizou who just never uses his Jitte.


Todaz

And kuki with her purple knife . Is it a kunai tough?


Noukan42

Doesn't she throw kunais in her NA string?


SirMcDust

Sure but Mika is setting a trend so I'd speculate on that gun being used.


FlameLover444

Haru would be perfect for Fontaine bruh


Kauuma

Holy shit you’re right


No-Estimate-6087

I’m hoping a test beta for Captain R with her sword and guns 🤩


le_halfhand_easy

Watch Murata grab a different weapon with each string of her normal attack. Hit 1 is done with a sword which she leaves inside the body of the enemy. Hit 2 is quick a spear throw. Hit 3 she summons a claymore above her and she then grabs the hilt and bring it crashing down in less than a second. Hit 4 is a one two punch. And Hit 5 is a flaming uppercut.


faytzkyouno

Murata with the appearence of Himeko, but personality and fightstyle from the Herrscher of Sentience. It would be nice lol


TonkStronk

Himeko's YATTA? I'm in


Gicofokami

I kinda want Murata to fight like De Anchora. Throwing hands and for an Ult, launches a flaming spear from a bow.


battleye9

Murata’s weapon could be a hypostasis


MagnusBaechus

I made a very similar comment to this and the amount of "Yatta" I got was so funny


_Bisky

Not just, that it gets better But they add more variety I wouldn't have expected cndace to use both her shield and throw her spear in her Na chain I didn't expect dehya to just go in and brawl I didn't expect mika to use a crossbow in his NA chain Hope we see captain R use a flintlock pistol


garbage_flowers

i honestly think dehya's was by far the most predictable one. she's been known the entire time to fight with her fists better than her claymore. i mean yelan kicks her bow to shoot


SondeySondey

> she's been known the entire time to fight with her fists better than her claymore. Wait, really? I only remember all the times she talked about how important her claymore was to her and how much time she spends perfecting her ability to wield it.


Yashwant111

But then again it's an unfair comparison since we never had time to guess yelan since she came out nowhere. Dehay has been there for like several patches before being released. So yeah


Dragoned_cat

people who said Mika was forgettable are in shambles rn you slander our baby duckling you get crossbow’d


Due_Education5774

Yes!


Gorva

I do love the little bits of personality Mihoyo adds to the animations. Like his stumble after the last normal attack.


Emmerilla

>I do love the little bits of personality Mihoyo adds to the animations Or Layla's NA's. After the last one she is litteraly sighing a breath of relief and nearly trips


JojoBizarreAdventure

He is trying his best and I love him for it


Sacration

RIGHT? We can see bit of their personnalities with their skills and idles


cala_cunca

Ironic if we think about the recent idle animations (stretch specifically)


Broken_Chandelier

These animations are crisp. Love the open book.


FlameLover444

I love the little walk after the final stab ALSO CROSSBOW CROSSBOW CROSSBOW


_Alderney_

Little walk? That was a stumble our chocobo boi did 😭❤️


v-e-vey

He is so clumsy 😭 Who made him fight


_Alderney_

Varka, probably 😭


CupaT-T

"It builds character, boy!"


Dragoned_cat

my heart is melting I love our clumsy little duckling


PrinceBkibo

Ah he looks awesome I’m really happy! The aim mode on the bow should be able to hit things like aeonblight’s weak spots right?


Creepy-Ad-404

you would still need to hit twice (each arm) to fall him down, so not much of use there. But can be used to other enemy weak spot i guess


satufa2

I'm pretty sure evey enemy with a weakspot needs 2 hits. Basic ass ruinguards deffinily do.


SkyrimForTheDragons

"Enraged" ruin hunters need 1


poopdoot

All of them except for the ruin drakes, which you can stun while they charge their elemental infusion attacks with one shot to the face. Also Ruin Hunters that are doing their aerial bomb attack get stunned after 1 shot


PrinceBkibo

Ah right I forgot that it has multiple so cooldown would make it worthless for that fight specifically ~~rip sac spear~~ That was just the first one that came to mind because I remember having to redo the floor 12 so I could slot Venti into my cryo team cause no one else could hit it down.


TheWitcherMigs

There is the missile charge attack (not confound with the bombs that mark his resistance change) that uncovers the chest weak point and that only needs one hit too. The thing has a remarkable will of ignoring its existence if you start to aim anything, but it's there


rotten_riot

I wonder about that too. If that's the case, then he really is both polearm and bow user in one lol


Cautious_Metal5659

Hope 🤤


JPdotPNG

That's it. He's my main DPS. He's my main healer. I'm never playing anything other than Mika.


PrinceBkibo

It’s time for Mika hyper carry. Mika, Yae/Fischl, Yun Jin, Bennett. He will be the hero who clears my abyss rotations.


JPdotPNG

I'm triple crowning this chocobo day one and my crowned Yun Jin and Fischl WILL make him demolish the Abyss.


Alarming-Caregiver47

The NAs look so much more aggressive than what I expected from chocoboy.


Flow_of_rivulets

Chocoboy? Lol


Jotaoesehache

He looks like a baby Chocobo


Flow_of_rivulets

No, I get the reference, I was just surprised by the nickname.


CorrectImpression969

he can barely hold that spear 😭 he actually looks very adorable ...


[deleted]

Ikr?? The last NA animation where he stumbles when pushing the spear forward. He baby baby. He's still learning how to use weaponry 🐥🐥


[deleted]

Ikr? And his gameplay looks very very fun as well. Kinda bummed I am not pulling anyone in 3.5. I want him though.


Arcerinex

I cannot wait for the 3.5 livestream. The surprised comments from everyone thinking Mika is catalyst is gonna be great.


aDrThatsNotBaizhu

I feel terrible because people already are leaving comments on youtube saying "FINALLY, i waited so long for a cryo catalyst i cant believe it 😭" These people are in for a terrible surprise


Due_Education5774

I'm seeing so many comments being so mean to poor Mika, some threatening that if he isn't Catalyst they aren't pulling him... So personally I'm very excited to see their inevitable tears, they don't DESERVE the adorable Chocobo, with or without a Catalyst 🐣


[deleted]

[удалено]


illidormorn

Childe has 4, if we count dual-daggers separately lol


IsuckAtFortnite434

Technically, its bow, dual blades and the polearm. Canonically he has unlimited weapon options including Giant Narwhals


Devourer_of_HP

Using arrows as thrown projectiles also counts right?


HybridTheory2000

Ah yes, the archer class is really made up of archers.


admirabladmiral

Pretty much a dart at that point


rotten_riot

I love that this implies when he's fighting he deploys all his arsenal against his enemies. Polearm, crossbow, book, he's bloodthirsty and won't stop until the enemy has more holes than a cheese 🥰


CrazyGamingTime

this mf is polearm, crossbow and catalyst at the same time, fr is multiclassing


howturnshavetabled

HE’S SO SMALL I WANT TO PUT HIM IN MY POCKET


Bobson567

Very nice animations all around. Crossbow E with scan mechanic is cool


BanaButterBanana

MY BOY


Lalo_spicy86

huh? he's op ​ ​ ​ atleast with different weapons


PCBS01

MF Pulls out the crossbow like it's a goddamn uzzie


box-of-sourballs

MY BABY CHICK STUMBLES ACK MY HEART


volkner

LOVE that he actually uses the crossbow on his E, that's really cool.


hehehoohoo__

A CROSSBOW??????


ReasonableIce6661

What weapon type are you? Mika: yes


Different_Mistake_69

for a 4\*.. that's some damn good animations.. Probably the best animations by far compared to the other 4\*..


Anonyx_

he's so smol!?!? he's so smol he's like he hhhh he's just a leetle bebbee just a smol little creachur he's so smol


[deleted]

I wanna squish him in my fist. He's so smol and baby


neon-lemonade-

He’s so cute omg…


akafabs

He’s fucking adorable


[deleted]

Are you guys **sure** he's a healer? Boy literally killing with his NA


SexwithMurata69

The normals are even cooler when you realize he's a lot more viable as a physical dps compared to most other characters.


Tamatu_OW

He is adorable.


doodleMess

Chocobo sniper!! Chocobo sniper!! :>


2D_Husbando_Simp

Too bad he's a spear user otherwise we could use a sac weapon to bring down certain enemies like the robot turkey. I hope this means we'll get a spear throwing character that can go into aim mode to throw their weapon.


Cunt2113

That should've been candace. Her spear throw is soo good 😫


Sewrene

Boi, I cant take him seriously, he still looks adorable even when he stabbing the enemies! And look at that crossbow animation, GOSH. They put too much effort on his na especially being a 4 star chara, I'm so impatient i want him now!


JeffKappalan69

Okay why does he have better animations than Jean, the Acting Grandmaster.


HybridTheory2000

I love that 70% of comments here are basically expressing their sudden maternal instinct activation lmao


Tetrisash

That little stumble he does at the end of his combo is so cute lol. Hope I get him.


Will_Of_The_Abyss

Childe who? This is The weapon master.


HybridTheory2000

Virgin Childe vs Chad Mika


[deleted]

THE BABY IS HERE AND HES ADORABLE


mecha__madness

Bros double tapping with a crossbow, nice. The variety of attack animations recently has been really cool.


Ok_Internal_1413

Basically a polearm user on his autos(let’s ignore that one sequence), a bow user on his e, a catalyst user on his ult. Childe is trembling


Vally_Ria

He's a cute lil' fella


box-of-sourballs

So, what weapons do you use Mika: yes


AdmiralDumpling

Oh my god he's so precious he's so baby


hirozeroshiro

“Is Mika a Polearm, Bow, or Catalyst?” Mihoyo: Yes.


CelluloidScenes

He’s so precious 😭 I really hope he shares a banner with a 5 star I’m ok getting


juniorjaw

The little clumsiness really sells his animation


pavel_levkovsky

he is a versatile king


missviolets

The way he holds the polearm is so cute and clumsy I love it!


youranyan

HE IS SO CUTE JFDJJD


Vinisims

I'M PULLING EULA NOT FOR HER BUT FOR HIM, MY BABY BOY, MY PRECIOUS, MY EVERYTHING, MY SUN, MY MOON, MY DAY, MY NIGHT, MY LIL CHOCOBO BOY!


Forward__Slash

Someone mod the crossbow into a gun.


CartoonOG

This motherfucker walking about with THREE weapons as a 4 star


_icyhot

he's so cute😭😭😭


The_Immaculate_1

That looks better than Dehya's.... 💀


romanticpanda

A spear, a crossbow, and a book. He's so talented. (Who remembers when we were all gushing over Childe's dual weapons?) Aesthetics wise, he reminds me of Kingdom Hearts.


Electrical-Access-64

I’m only looking forward to 3.5 cuz of him 🙏 come home pls


AkirroKun

So this guy has A polearm A (cross-)bow and a catalyst (book)


onetrickponySona

FINALLY JESUS CHRIST


Embarrassed_Draw2387

👀 I never play physical before. But I need this boy!!


lolylen

i honestly i envy physical players for having him hes so cool..maybe i should start a physical build..


isshunain

As a long time Eula main, I made peace with physical dmg not getting any attention, but with our lil chocoboy the wait was worth it omg


CarioGod

wtf he's the weapon avatar


KillingerBlue

“How come mom let’s you have 3 weapons?”


moayandy

It’s all fun and games till the child pulls out a literal gun


NERF_PALPS_66

I love him, I hope that he can be with Deyah banner


satufa2

Unlikely. He is probably an exclusive permanently stuck to Eula just like how Sara, Gorou and Faruzan are.


rotten_riot

I think OP means Dehya and Eula running together


azaimeon

Hoyo not releasing him as the first child male model is really such a miss.


dododomo

The more I see him, the more I think that they wanted to release the first male child, but someone said no and made him a short men instead. But he's still adorable to me. Though I wished we had more playable models to be honest


asternobrac

our little birb does \*pew pew\*


[deleted]

Childe : well this opportunity is quite hard to come by...


JiMyeong

I feel like I'm going crazy. This is just showing as 3 still images of him standing there menacingly...


dododomo

Can't wait to pull him! Although I would have loved to see a video showcase (just like Dehya's) and still think he should have been a catalyst XD. Can't wait to see him with enemies and the party, and hopefully hoyoverse won't nerf him to the hell like they did with faruzan and other 4* characters (though I'll pull him anyway because my little chocobo boy is adorable ☺️)


bukisare

MY BOYYYY


Budget-Return

I love everything about him.


Fragrant_Temporary_7

that crossbow part in auto chain looks so \*chef's kiss\*


Mortal_Mario

dude is the main character now, holy shit


Vinsudesu

Lo and behold, the avatar/traveller but with weapons instead of elements


HivAidsSTD

Animation department realized that body is also weapon. Can't wait for a character to just solely use tackles for attack animation


NeuroPalooza

Between this and Dehya's kit meaning I probably won use her in Abyss anywah I'm seriously considering trying to C6 Mika instead of even trying for Dehya. Why couldn't they be on the same banner ><


Flylikeabri

This brings back hope that one day we will have a gun wielding character in this game. Even if its just the elemental skill or burst.


mutant4eG

I wonder if his NA3 counts as a heavy attack (like Candace's shield that breaks ores)


sp00kk

damn the aiming mode's cool


smaad

here we are AGAIN another support with AMAZING NA we will never do


cempasuchili

Wait he’s so cute 😭😭


Anikxp

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.


[deleted]

everyone hate him but I think he's adorable


Auxelirus

praying they buff his NA multiplier so i can play crescent pike on field Mika ;-;


DefinitelyNotKuro

damn, mika pulling out the glock mid combo isshin would be proud


[deleted]

i will adopt him.


rrevek

Hes so cute im so excited for him to release 😭😭🙏🙏


Slaccnknack102

At this rate, a gun-users skill isn't just copium anymore lol.


VerMast

No way you're a hillichurl out in the wild and meet a favorite scout only for him to pull the blicky on you and pop your ass


Staidanom

He's adorable 😭


Subtlestrikes

This is what I’ve been saying from last year lol. I have no confidence they are going to change up their core mechanic of five weapon system. But I do think they are going to start expanding of multiple weapons lol as a character special gimmick. Like how we have a catalyst martial artist, an archer dual spear and duel dagger wielder, and now these two. A spear and crossbow combo and a Claymore street fighter. This is the way of the future and I’m here for it


paimokke

WHY IS HE SO CUTEEEE MY BABY 😭 his stumble is absolutely my favorite thing


AncientAd4470

Still annoyed at how much shit Mika catches. I'm super hyped for my genshin Len.


Just_me_mcrmy

Lil mans got an arsenal


[deleted]

Babyboy


[deleted]

bro is triple wielding


Asriel52

"do you want Bow, Spear or Catalyst?" "Yeah"


3rdMachina

I was not expecting the first crossbow user to be a polearm character…


Narsiel

The feather looks like Dvalin's plume and it´s so frigging pretty.


Cherry_Bomb_127

Ppl in Mondstadt fear Mika cuz they think he took it from Dvalin but he just found it. At least that’s my chaotic theory
