Yelan	An excellent off-field Hydro DPS who is recommended to pair with a DPS character that utilizes normal ATK. Also, Elegy for the End provides additional buffs that are beneficial for the team.
Zhongli	His durable shield can protect Hu Tao from incoming damage and reduces the elemental RES of nearby enemies.

The objective of this team is to consistently trigger Vaporize reaction to multiple opponents simultaneously and sustain Zhongli's shield to protect Hu Tao, especially when her HP is low.

Pros & Cons Of Vaporize Hu Tao Team

Cons	- Hu Tao's infusion disappear when switched out - Difficult to utilize when facing opponents that can inflict damage which can bypass shield such as corrosion

4	Switch to Yelan
5	Use Yelan's Skill to inflict Hydro DMG and produce Hydro particles
6	Use Yelan's Burst for the coordinated attack
7	Switch to Hu Tao
8	Use Hu Tao's Skill for infusion
