The Childe banner rerun is one of the most highly-anticipated parts of Genshin Impact’s 2.2 update, so find out when it releases and which 4-star characters are included. 

Childe is a 5-star bow character who dominates the battlefield with deadly Hydro-based attacks, eliminating all those that dare to stand in his way. As the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, Childe is both feared and revered by his enemies.

While Childe was initially released during the Version 1.1 update, many Genshin Impact players will have missed the opportunity to add him to their team. 

Fortunately, Genshin Impact features banner reruns where previously released characters are made available again. One of the most anticipated rereleases is that of the Childe banner, which is launching alongside the game’s 2.2 update

Childe has quickly become one of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact.

Childe has proven incredibly popular amongst Genshin Impact players, particularly those that enjoy ranges and close-quarters combat. As a result, many players will be wanting to add the Hydro bow user to their roster when the Childe banner rerun is announced. 

The Tartaglia excels at dealing huge amounts of AoE Hydro damage to grouped enemies, making him a great pick for those running Freeze comps, Super Conduct, or Melt team comps.

Childe’s 2.2 banner rerun will mark the third time the 5-star has been available.

Childe will be releasing in the Version 2.2 update, which launches on October 13, 2021. Players can pre-download the patch starting from October 11 so they can jump right in as maintenance ends at around 4am BST on October 13.

Previously, Genshin Impact 2.2 promotional art was leaked ahead of the update’s official release, with many leaks pointing towards a Childe rerun. It was here where the 5-star bow was seen wielding one of his Foul Legacy: Raging Tide swords
