The return of Childe in Genshin Impact has become a hot topic amongst the players. Many free-to-play users had been saving their primogems from the past three weeks, and will now spend them to unlock the Hydro damage dealer.

However, it is worth noting that Genshin Impact will constantly re-run the banners of old five characters now. These include the likes of Zhongli, Albedo, and Ganyu, among many others. Childe is undoubtedly a great damage dealer, but others like Ganyu and Hu tao have also proved their worth. So much so that they are even claimed to be broken at times.
