HP Over ATK

Even with 3-Star weapons, it doesn't really matter since although HU Tao still gets increased damage from attack, she scales better in HP so it's preferred. The Black Tassel will work if you don't have any other CR/CD Weapon available. The Staff of Homa is best for her, but any CR/CD weapon will work as a stat stick.

Prioritize Crit Rate & Crit DMG

Since Hu Tao's burst is a single-hit attack, it's important to have a good Crit Rate/DMG ratio to ensure that when you do use it, it will Crit. For a Free to Play option, The Catch is a good option since it does provide Crit Rate for the Burst and additional DMG.
