Having to deal non-lethal damage to send out Child of The Old Gods feels really frustrating. If you accidentally kill the enemy (that you chose at location anchor) the void boi does not activate, and now you've wasted time and have to try again.
I would much prefer it performed a single instant check, like the consumption of a weapon's Voltshot buff, and then head out to that location. Having to watch its (Child) reaction feels a bit like a combat distraction, especially since stopping to cast Rift is already a flow interrupt.
Thanks for reading

Don't shoot red bars then. Just shoot any tier higher than that in the middle of a bunch of enemies. It's the same with jolt. If you get jolt on your weapon and apply it to a red bar who then dies instantly, you lose that jolt. Stick it on a tougher enemy and shoot him a few times and you get the full benefit.
