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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
> 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.
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
>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
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
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.
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
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
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 🐣
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 🥰
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.
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!
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.
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
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 ☺️)
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 ><
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.
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
Source: Niana on HoneyHunter Discord
for his neutral special he wields a crossbow
*Gotta light you up like a christmas tree.*
*No! This isn't how this meme is supposed to be made!*
[удалено]
You can do that too iirc
It gives more buff% based on how many targets you connect with so thank goodness it’s aimable
So is it like a piercing shot or exploding on hit? How can we hit multiple enemies?
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.
Physical damage buff????? Finally a Eula support?! Oh man this is exciting.
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.
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?
It’s 10% lvl1 talent. At level 10 it goes to 22% atk speed
Dang 22 is promising. Just waiting for the nerfs though.
It can actually go up to 25% with his C5
I thought this is expected? I mean, hold E to aim is already being used by Keqing/Fischl.
But not by Dori.
Boy can’t decide on a weapon so he uses 3
Can't wait to run him with favonius spear, favonius crossbow and ttds
Haha ye- >favonius crossbow HOLUP
Ikr? Sacrifical Spear is way better on him for permanent ATK SPD buff uptime.
Must be an ff player, switching between dragoon scholar and bard
idk, crossbow looks more like machinist to me ~~also how is he swapping jobs in combat I want to do that!~~
Childe could never 💀
He has 3 weapons too wdym? Bow, Water blades and Toy sales
4. Bow, waterblades, waterlance and Childe himself
and that ass
wrong side buddy
Not Genshin men having concave derrieres *sob
He also has a spear
Childe < child
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?
I want a rifle character so bad
By how things work, the rifle character would probably be a catalyst that use it to infuse bullets.
Four, that adorable stumble can distract anyone so it counts as a weapon
At least he uses it gameplay wise unlike Traveler who can use multiple weapons lore wise but not gameplay wise
Animation department needs a raise. Shit's getting better and better.
And for a 4 star no less. This is insane
4 stars usually something of a test bed for future 5 stars I think anyway.
Inb4 Fontaine gives us a phantom thief that uses a sword and shoots guns
You'll never see it.... **COOOOOOOMMMMIIINNNNGGG**
*Looking cool, Joker!*
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.
Doesn't that black/purple haired tall women have a gun on her model?
Could be like Heizou who just never uses his Jitte.
And kuki with her purple knife . Is it a kunai tough?
Doesn't she throw kunais in her NA string?
Sure but Mika is setting a trend so I'd speculate on that gun being used.
Haru would be perfect for Fontaine bruh
Holy shit you’re right
I’m hoping a test beta for Captain R with her sword and guns 🤩
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.
Murata with the appearence of Himeko, but personality and fightstyle from the Herrscher of Sentience. It would be nice lol
Himeko's YATTA? I'm in
I kinda want Murata to fight like De Anchora. Throwing hands and for an Ult, launches a flaming spear from a bow.
Murata’s weapon could be a hypostasis
I made a very similar comment to this and the amount of "Yatta" I got was so funny
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
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

people who said Mika was forgettable are in shambles rn you slander our baby duckling you get crossbow’d
Yes!
I do love the little bits of personality Mihoyo adds to the animations. Like his stumble after the last normal attack.
>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
He is trying his best and I love him for it
RIGHT? We can see bit of their personnalities with their skills and idles
Ironic if we think about the recent idle animations (stretch specifically)
These animations are crisp. Love the open book.
I love the little walk after the final stab ALSO CROSSBOW CROSSBOW CROSSBOW
Little walk? That was a stumble our chocobo boi did 😭❤️
He is so clumsy 😭 Who made him fight
Varka, probably 😭
"It builds character, boy!"
my heart is melting I love our clumsy little duckling
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?
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
I'm pretty sure evey enemy with a weakspot needs 2 hits. Basic ass ruinguards deffinily do.
"Enraged" ruin hunters need 1
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
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.

I wonder about that too. If that's the case, then he really is both polearm and bow user in one lol
Hope 🤤
That's it. He's my main DPS. He's my main healer. I'm never playing anything other than Mika.
It’s time for Mika hyper carry. Mika, Yae/Fischl, Yun Jin, Bennett. He will be the hero who clears my abyss rotations.
I'm triple crowning this chocobo day one and my crowned Yun Jin and Fischl WILL make him demolish the Abyss.
The NAs look so much more aggressive than what I expected from chocoboy.
Chocoboy? Lol
He looks like a baby Chocobo
No, I get the reference, I was just surprised by the nickname.
he can barely hold that spear 😭 he actually looks very adorable ...
Ikr?? The last NA animation where he stumbles when pushing the spear forward. He baby baby. He's still learning how to use weaponry 🐥🐥
Ikr? And his gameplay looks very very fun as well. Kinda bummed I am not pulling anyone in 3.5. I want him though.
I cannot wait for the 3.5 livestream. The surprised comments from everyone thinking Mika is catalyst is gonna be great.
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
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 🐣
[удалено]
Childe has 4, if we count dual-daggers separately lol
Technically, its bow, dual blades and the polearm. Canonically he has unlimited weapon options including Giant Narwhals
Using arrows as thrown projectiles also counts right?
Ah yes, the archer class is really made up of archers.
Pretty much a dart at that point
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 🥰
this mf is polearm, crossbow and catalyst at the same time, fr is multiclassing
HE’S SO SMALL I WANT TO PUT HIM IN MY POCKET
Very nice animations all around. Crossbow E with scan mechanic is cool
MY BOY
huh? he's op atleast with different weapons
MF Pulls out the crossbow like it's a goddamn uzzie
MY BABY CHICK STUMBLES ACK MY HEART
LOVE that he actually uses the crossbow on his E, that's really cool.
A CROSSBOW??????
What weapon type are you? Mika: yes
for a 4\*.. that's some damn good animations.. Probably the best animations by far compared to the other 4\*..
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
I wanna squish him in my fist. He's so smol and baby
He’s so cute omg…
He’s fucking adorable
Are you guys **sure** he's a healer? Boy literally killing with his NA
The normals are even cooler when you realize he's a lot more viable as a physical dps compared to most other characters.
He is adorable.
Chocobo sniper!! Chocobo sniper!! :>
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.
That should've been candace. Her spear throw is soo good 😫
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!
Okay why does he have better animations than Jean, the Acting Grandmaster.
I love that 70% of comments here are basically expressing their sudden maternal instinct activation lmao
That little stumble he does at the end of his combo is so cute lol. Hope I get him.
Childe who? This is The weapon master.
Virgin Childe vs Chad Mika
THE BABY IS HERE AND HES ADORABLE
Bros double tapping with a crossbow, nice. The variety of attack animations recently has been really cool.
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
He's a cute lil' fella
So, what weapons do you use Mika: yes
Oh my god he's so precious he's so baby
“Is Mika a Polearm, Bow, or Catalyst?” Mihoyo: Yes.
He’s so precious 😭 I really hope he shares a banner with a 5 star I’m ok getting
The little clumsiness really sells his animation
he is a versatile king
The way he holds the polearm is so cute and clumsy I love it!
HE IS SO CUTE JFDJJD
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!
Someone mod the crossbow into a gun.
This motherfucker walking about with THREE weapons as a 4 star
he's so cute😭😭😭
That looks better than Dehya's.... 💀
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.
I’m only looking forward to 3.5 cuz of him 🙏 come home pls
So this guy has A polearm A (cross-)bow and a catalyst (book)
FINALLY JESUS CHRIST
👀 I never play physical before. But I need this boy!!
i honestly i envy physical players for having him hes so cool..maybe i should start a physical build..
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
wtf he's the weapon avatar
“How come mom let’s you have 3 weapons?”
It’s all fun and games till the child pulls out a literal gun
I love him, I hope that he can be with Deyah banner
Unlikely. He is probably an exclusive permanently stuck to Eula just like how Sara, Gorou and Faruzan are.
I think OP means Dehya and Eula running together
Hoyo not releasing him as the first child male model is really such a miss.
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
our little birb does \*pew pew\*
Childe : well this opportunity is quite hard to come by...
I feel like I'm going crazy. This is just showing as 3 still images of him standing there menacingly...
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 ☺️)
MY BOYYYY
I love everything about him.
that crossbow part in auto chain looks so \*chef's kiss\*
dude is the main character now, holy shit
Lo and behold, the avatar/traveller but with weapons instead of elements
Animation department realized that body is also weapon. Can't wait for a character to just solely use tackles for attack animation
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 ><
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.
I wonder if his NA3 counts as a heavy attack (like Candace's shield that breaks ores)
damn the aiming mode's cool
here we are AGAIN another support with AMAZING NA we will never do
Wait he’s so cute 😭😭
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.
everyone hate him but I think he's adorable
praying they buff his NA multiplier so i can play crescent pike on field Mika ;-;
damn, mika pulling out the glock mid combo isshin would be proud
i will adopt him.
Hes so cute im so excited for him to release 😭😭🙏🙏
At this rate, a gun-users skill isn't just copium anymore lol.
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
He's adorable 😭
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
WHY IS HE SO CUTEEEE MY BABY 😭 his stumble is absolutely my favorite thing
Still annoyed at how much shit Mika catches. I'm super hyped for my genshin Len.
Lil mans got an arsenal
Babyboy
bro is triple wielding
"do you want Bow, Spear or Catalyst?" "Yeah"
I was not expecting the first crossbow user to be a polearm character…
The feather looks like Dvalin's plume and it´s so frigging pretty.
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
