| Character | Detail |

| Xingqiu | An excellent off-field Hydro DPS who protects Hu Tao while active. Since Hu Tao is a melee, the Hydro application of the barrier is utilized. |
| 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.

| 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 |

Vaporize Hu Tao team double Hydro enables Hydro resonance which can improve the damage output of Hu Tao & Yelan, improve the durability of Zhongli's shield, and slightly increase the HP restored by Xingqiu's barrier. Since Hu Tao gets stronger with lower health, Xingqiu with a shielder is highly recommended to be paired with her.
