    The best thing is, you can switch Childe out and the stacks stay on him.

    Childe and Polar Star came home both within the 1st 10-pull of each. Got super lucky. I only rolled on the weapon banner hoping for The Rust.

    Came from sekapokos scuffed af testing and this is such a breath of fresh air. Great comparison with the right numbers and calculations.

    Thank you so much for this video Sevy!! I just got the Polar Star for Childe and I was so confused reading the description of the bow and I didn’t know how the stacks worked. But your explanation is so clear and I understand how to use it now!! I also enjoyed your comparisons with the other bows and explanations for all of them, clear and straight to the point, thank you so much :D !!

    I love Childe to the moon! He's the reason for I started playing Genshin in the first place. Since december 2020 he's a permanent member of my team without a single break. In his 1. rerun banner I pulled his C1. I struggled a lot with crit rate, so I kinda skipped his rerun banner and pulled for Polar Star. Sadly I got 2 Memory of Dust, so it was garantied by the fate points. It took me 190 wishes to get Polar Star. But it was worth it! ^^ Only the best for my favorite character! The R2 Memory of Dust is now the weapon for my Ningguang, who is the Main DPS of my 2. Team, so it's ok for me. ^^

    i love childe so much, he is my most spoiled character: sh, tp and ps bows at r5, plus a lot of 4* bows, 3 different sets of nearly perfect artefacts and not planning to stop lol
  • @halevy7987
    Thank you for the comprehensive testing, Sevy!
  • @Miirasha
    I kept finding myself clicking your videos (by random) whenever I wanted to see the differences in weapons on characters, so guess it's time for me to click that sub button! Love your videos so much, they're so helpful <3
  • @TShorty929
    Great guide. Super underrated tester in the Genshin community
  • @grassfield5177
    Im pissed i got jebaited by thundering pulse. I never thought theyd make a signature 5* weapon for childe. If i had known, id skip TP for polar star.
  • @guesswho8947
    This comparison is just amazing. Can't express enough how much i liked it. Subscribed
  • @mikyeediaz120
    After seeing the bow, it looks tempting to pull for my Childe. If anyone still don't understand, when you normal attack during melee form, it is considered as normal attack. Only when you click E initially and riptide slash count as elemental skill. Just explaining it to some might new to Childe ^^
  • I’ll be honest, i’m rolling for polar star even when i already have skyward hard almost entirely for the sake of looks
  • @LeOddster
    WOW Sevy you're absolutely Lightnight FAST as always!! These are awesome findings, and all within 12 hours of the patch being live??? Amazing stuff!! I'm definitely still skipping and I'm planning on pulling for Thomas as much as Pity can secure me without reaching a 5 star... but I wouldn't mind an Early 5 star, even C1 Hu Tao... so we'll have to see that result in 3 weeks! :) ♥ Big love Sevy!
  • @Avului
    Your voice is very pleasing to listen to, and you explain things very well thank you for this!!
  • @sochili6886
    Thanks for this comparison vid! I had skyward harp on him since his first banner and got polar star in a ten pull (My pity was 35 and I did the pull as a joke). I wasn’t really sure if there was a difference between the two but atleast I know now. Now I just need to fight those rift hounds for the rest of the week lol. I’ll probably give my skyward to ganyu when she gets a rerun or if mhy releases a new bow character
  • @FaKeSTFalLEn
    This was a great Comparison video really thorough! keep it up Sevy, I am looking forward to the future ones.
