In the colorful and magical world of Genshin Impact, it is quite easy to overlook some of the nuances of character storylines. One such overlooked character is Childe, or Tartaglia as he is commonly known. [source]
Summary
- The post critically discusses Childe’s role within the game, his battles, and his seeming misfortune in combat.
- The majority of fans feel positively towards Childe, surrounding him with a sense of sympathy or admiration for his perseverance.
- Childe is acknowledged as strong, yet he tends to face overpowered opponents, leading to a comic representation of his character.
The Childe’s Tale
If there was an award for ‘Most cases of Bad Luck in Teyvat’, Tartaglia would probably be the winner, according to ‘TheMrPotMask’. The story of Childe’s constant defeat is more amusing than worthy of ridicule. One of the highlights from the comments is the humorously-captured moment when Childe, an obviously strong character, gets ‘clapped by Traveler’ and ‘clapped by Neuvillette.’, as pointed out by ‘SexWithSandrone’.

The Sympathy Surrounding Childe
Despite his luck, players don’t view Childe negatively; there’s an undercurrent of admiration for his constant strive for strength. ‘LivingASlothsLife’ beautifully summarizes, ‘Childe just fights strong opponents to get stronger…He could solo almost every playable character bar the Archons, Neuvillette and Wanderer.’ [source] ‘thevigilantone1432’ echoes similar sentiments in a comment, arguing against the bully. The general sentiment towards Childe is one of sympathy, with fans feeling for his unfortunate circumstances.
Comic Relief or a True Warrior?
The funniest tales are sometimes the most heroic too. Childe may seem like Genshin Impact’s comic relief at times, but there’s evidence of him being a true warrior at his core. Take ‘Eet_Fuk12’s’ comment, who stated ‘being a guy in his 20s while in the same circle of other 10 demigods is already a good sign.’ [source] This raises the question: Is Childe more than just comic relief?
To wrap everything up, the hilarious ‘Dehya’ treatment adds an endearing level of relatability to our ambitious, resilient and yet unlucky Childe. As hilariously unfortunate as his tale has been, he’s won the admiration of the game’s fanbase. His determination reminds us of the importance of striving for our goals, even when the odds are stacked against us. And who knows, maybe one day Childe will get his moment of glory and give those demigods a run for their money!
