#snezhnaya onwards is going to be WILD

[ironunderstands]

Yeah he’s like failing upwards, he gets his ass kicked but the mission is always accomplished and he’s ready to take on something stronger afterwards. Honestly I wouldn’t even consider it failing, just winning and getting hurt in the process. Also yeah they definitely want him around for other things then just being a good fighter

Me when I realize that Childe fought 45 days with that whale without his vision: .....can we go to Snezhnayan now? I really want to know more about this ginger

the last update gave me something off about Childe, so many questions and nothing makes sense, like if Childe keeps failing in his missions why do they keep him there? (No, I love this boy I'm just confused with this organization really) what does he have that can be so useful as to keep him there even with everything

the Fatui don't seem to be the forgiving and compassionate type, this is made even weirder because we have no reason to

I really want to go to Snezhnayan to find out more about this boy

he looks more like a phoenix with all this "death and rebirth" (the abyss situation)

(sorry for vent in your ask box)

I don't think he keeps failing his missions. From the Fatui's perspective he played his role in Liyue flawlessly, and in Fontaine he didn't have a mission at all and still helped everyone by being falsely accused by the Oratrice (exposing the problem with Hydro Archon) and then by holding back the whale for a month and a half.

He pretty much saved the city.

Also a huge part of him "failing" is that he keeps growing and picking harder battles. He's failing so much precisely because he's so badass (one of the paradoxes surrounding him). We are looking at the learning process, not the final result.

But yeah, at the same time I also think they keep him for something else, not just being useful in generic battles. I think he's some sort of glorified nuke they'll eventually launch at something (probably Celestia)
