Hu Tao's Secret Spear technique is based on several rules, the first of which is: "The spear opens the path to the afterlife, and the butterflies bridge this world and the next.This content could not be loaded See moreįrom what I know, they plan to include Hu Tao as the third banner during 1.3

Paramita Papilio ends when its duration is over, or Hu Tao has left the battlefield or fallen. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.Įach enemy can be affected by only one Blood Blossom effect at a time, and its duration may only be refreshed by Hu Tao herself. Increases Hu Tao's resistance to interruption.Įnemies affected by Blood Blossom will take Pyro DMG every 4s. Charged Attacks apply the Blood Blossom effect to the enemies hit. Converts attack DMG to Pyro DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion. ATK Bonus gained this way cannot exceed 400% of Hu Tao's Base ATK. Increases Hu Tao's ATK based on her Max HP at the time of entering this state. Hu Tao consumes a set portion of her HP to knock the surrounding enemies back and enter the Paramita Papilio state. Only an unwavering flame can cleanse the impurities of this world. *N = Normal Attack, C = Charged Attack, J = Jump, D = Dash N3CJ/N3CD can be used to conserve stamina at the cost of damage. It is recommended to use cancels when performing your Hu Tao combos as to maximize damage. When ending Hu Tao's combos with an Elemental Burst, if you do not jump/dash cancel the last charged attack, the Elemental Burst will still benefit from Hu Tao's Elemental Skill. If you have less than 100EM total (including from Sucrose EM share, 4pc Instructor, etc) EM substat take priority over Crit Rate / DMG. Regarding Artifact Substats Priority: Since Hu Tao is able to trigger Vaporize on most of her damage output, Elemental Mastery is quite valuable on her. The difference is, you want to use 2/2 WT/CW when focusing on Nuking and better consistency, while 4 Bolide is for overall higher AA damage at the expense of lower burst damage, although inconsistent if you cannot keep your shield permanently. Retracing Bolide (4) and Wanderer's Troupe / Tenacity of the Millelith (2) + Crimson's Witch of Flame (2): All these options are almost on equal footing because both of the sets have an equal overall damage output assuming you have 100% shield uptime when using Bolide (4). Regarding Artifact Sets: Shimenawa's Reminiscence (4): Provides higher AA damage than 4CW but lowers your Elemental Burst damage which hurts your AoE damage, also if you're unable to burst, it might cause survivability issues if you're not running a healer. White Tassel: White Tassel requires your combos to be more focused on Normal Attacks (N2C over N1C) to make use of it's passive. Base ATK makes little difference on Hu Tao because she has a very high HP to ATK conversion cap. Vortex Vanquisher and Skyward Spine: Provides little to nothing to Hu Tao since she scales better with HP% than ATK% with every spear in the game. It is not recommended to buy this weapon specifically for Hu Tao and should only be used if you already have one.


Blackcliff Pole: Despite seeming quite good due to the Crit DMG substat, Blackcliff at 1 stack performs only slightly better than an White Tassel in practice as it is difficult to maintain stacks consistently. Deathmatch: Deathmatch is better than Dragon's Bane when you're not doing Vaporize. While this is a very strong weapon when fully stacked, maintaining the stacks on Hu Tao isn't ideal in realistic situations making the weapon less consistent than other options. Regarding Weapon Choices: Primordial Jade Winged-Spear: Is better than the variants of Dragon's Bane and Deathmatch with ideal stacking. Freeze Melt refers to freezing enemies for Melt set up, since unlike Diluc or Klee, Hu Tao doesn't shatter frozen enemies. Hu Tao is most effective when used with Xingqiu to proc Vaporize/Freeze Melt reactions which utilizes her BiS Set, Crimson Witch of Flames (4).
