Element: Hydro

Weapon: Bow

Constellation: Monoceros Caeli

"No. 11 of The Harbingers, also known as "Childe." His name is highly feared on the battlefield."

Childe, aka Tartaglia, is known as the 11th Harbinger of the Fatui, who can control two elements. Tartaglia's vision allows him Hydro elemental power, and his Delusion allows him control over Electro elemental power in his Foul Legacy transformation.

Although this form is not playable now, his ability to switch from ranged mode to melee combat makes him one of the most fantastic characters in the game.

"One of the Mighty and Illuminated Adepti guarding Liyue, also heralded as the Guardian Yaksha."

Xiao is known as the last surviving Yaksha, who is on par with the strongest demons and probably Archons.

His elemental burst, Bane of all Evil, allows him to put on his Yaksha mask and destroy enemies on the battlefield with his unique plunging attacks. That makes him one of the coolest characters within Genshin Impact.
