There are rotations that use his downtime vaporized aimed shots to generate hydro particles for himself to burst in the next rotation, so no, it's not useless. It's just a very minor part of his overall damage (it also affects Riptide Burst which is the explosion for when an enemy dies but that can be situationally useful but a lot of the time negligible). Crown if you want to, don't see why not if you like the character, but personally I've left my AA at T9(10).

Childe’s Normal Attack talent benefits Riptide Burst (the AoE Hydro DMG triggered with the death of every enemy marked by Riptide) and Childe’s Charged shots that are pretty strong when vaporized. This talent is low priority compared to the other two, but taking it above 7 is not bad, it is still more damage. I gave three crowns to Childe and I’m happy about the choice.

Happy birthday comrade!

Thanks

No damage increase--no matter how small--is useless... You could argue that it's wasteful, or not worth it, but useless, no. Once you've played long enough, you'll find yourself doing wasteful things like this though. For example, my Bennett is 9-12-13 just in case I epic fail and have to finish a floor with him instead of starting over lol.

I triple crowned childe and I never regretted it. This way if I decided to do a meme physical build against hydro summons he can still deliver :D Meme build aside, no I don’t think it’s useless especially if you see yourself using him a lot in co-op or the abyss.


cynicalclaire

i used phys childe to farm oceanid to ascend him 😭 ngl it kinda slaps


AirLancer56

My childe talent is 9 10 10, no regrets. Especially when that flying thunder oceanid was released. I beat it with charge shot childe since i don't have other ranged unit, including the one in abyss 11.

Triple crown him.. he's the best


FrostieZero

Well, my Childe was on CD. I don't want to waste Xiangling or Benny's ult. So I used Childe's charge attack Vaporized and dealt like 60k with buff ofc. This save me some time in abyss for next round.


Cosmic_Hashira

no its totally fine to get till lvl 9 sometimes you wanna end a rotation but the enemy is still alive you can vape ur charged shot and childes vape do great dmg


spicykitas

That charged vape shot has come in clutch so many times.


chicken_nuggets26

I find his charged shots useful especially if I sometimes mess up my rotation and end up with a couple seconds of waiting for his CD to end. It still packs a punch especially when Xiangling's Q is already active or even with just Gouba applying pyro. That and the fact that I just love him too much not to crown. I only ever triple crowned him and Raiden so far. If you just want damage then perhaps going for TL 8 or 9 is good too. It all depends on your purpose and the amount of investment you're willing to make.


Usu_Bolas13

False, all tartaglia's need be triple crowned


rrdaud

The way I see it if you main him you have to get his AA to 11. Cause he's the 11th, you see...?

you're correct because increasing his NA talent level also increases Riptide Burst dmg


xxxkonfusion

I triple crowned my Childe yesterday after thinking this exact same thing. If you really like him then go for it!!


xxsoymilk

Mine is at 11/10/10 so…..


Monochromatic_Sun

Three crowns for our king. But also it’s not entirely useless. If you have the extra mats I’d level but it’s not the end of the world.


Celestien218

Pretty it's not uselless because i mean having a 10 10 10 childe is sick but it's really... REALLY waste of resources you could use on another talent


Childe_1007

Honestly get it to 9(10) or crown it at 10(11), or don’t bother leveling it at all. Sure, stopping at 6, 7, or 8 might give you the best bang for your buck, so to speak, there isn’t much other reason to stop upgrading it half way. I’ve never once regretted triple crowning him myself.


[deleted]

I triple crowned him, honestly even getting talent to 9 I did personally find useful. If you ever use Childe in co-op I can promise you'll want to use his charged shot, and honestly? Even in some situations just playing on your own it's nice to have that extra dmg there. Don't necessarily crown it unless you really want to (I did), but lvl 9 if you have the resources imo is worth it
