Recommended Rotation For Hu Tao

Uses Of Hu Tao's Elemental Skill

Greatly Increases Damage From Normal Attack & Infuses Pyro

Hu Tao's Elemental Skill takes a portion of her HP to buff the power of Hu Tao that scales from her Max HP. Hu Tao's attacks, during the duration of the buff, will be infused with Pyro that cannot be overridden by other skills.

Applies Blood Blossom To Enemies

During the duration of the Elemental Skill, Hu Tao will have a special charge attack that will give Blood Blossom to enemies. These blossoms will inflict Pyro damage to enemies every 4 seconds and it does not disappear even after switching Hu Tao out making it great for reactions.

Increases CRIT Rate Of Team After The Duration Ends

Thanks to the first Passive of Hu Tao, the Elemental Skill give extra buff to the team making it easier for the team of Hu Tao deal more damage even if the main DPS is not on the field.

Uses Of Hu Tao's Elemental Burst

▲Stronger when HP is below 50%!

Saves Hu Tao From Pinch

Hu Tao's Burst is not just a good finisher, it also heals Hu Tao giving just enough HP to not be vulnerable to the weakest enemies while retaining the Low HP buff that Hu Tao needs to deal powerful damage.

Strengths Of Hu Tao

Overall Kit Works Greatly With Each Other

Hu Tao's talents, skills and damage, even at Constellation 0, works well together in sustaining the high DMG of Hu Tao. An example of this is how the Elemental Skill decreases HP enabling other talents to activate furthering the power of Hu Tao. Her Elemental Burst also heals Hu Tao but not too powerful that Passive buffs will be disabled.

Weaknesses Of Hu Tao

May Be Difficult For Beginners

Hu Tao's kit focuses on HP management so there will be times that Hu Tao will be fighting on field with very low HP. Having a shield character will make her easier to use.

Most Of The Attacks Are Single Target

One of the few weaknesses of Hu Tao is her AOE options are limited. Her charge attack will enable her to hit multiple enemies but it does not work for larger enemies.

Voicelines About Hu Tao

Voicelines About Hu Tao
Chongyun	The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is a reputable institutions that acts with integrity. But whenever I see that cheeky smile that says, "It's nothing you exorcist need to worry about," it just makes my blood boil... Whoa, deep breaths, Chongyun. Stay calm.
Xiao	Hu Tao? Her liveliness is irritating. Fortunately, she is also humorous, so you need not worry about her growing into a boring human.
Yanfei	I always hear people saying that the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has an unorthodox approach to business. They think she's gone a little non compos mentis after being in the funeral business so long... What are these people talking about? The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor provides a legitimate and necessary service, which is that cornerstone of any successful enterprise. Work is just work ー there are no good and bad jobs, or lucky and unlucky jobs, just jobs that need doing. If I had one gripe, it would be that the director rarely comes to me for legal advice, hmph...
Xingqiu	Ah yes, the young lady who is now the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. If you're asking what I think about her as a person... Well, there are all sorts of rumors about the way she works. But I think if you really want to understand someone, you need to find out what they are really after.
Xiangling	Is Hu Tao picking on you too? Ugh that prankster always waits till I least expected it, creeps up on me from behind and then...Boo! ... then laughs herself silly. Hmph. But I can handle it, and she does bring me fermented plum blossoms once in a while so I can make flower cakes... so I don't hold a grudge.
Xinyan	I've no clue what she's thinking, going around looking all happy-clappy like that when she's the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.Always greets me cheerily too, saying "I like people who play with fire, they're good for business" or somethin' like that... She's a bit bizarre, I tell you.
Qiqi	Warm. Fake smile. Death. I despise Hu Tao.
