Team Composition
Vaporize comp: Xingqiu Mona Hu Tao Zhongli
Burst comp: Xingqiu Bennett Hu Tao Zhongli
Double Geo Burst comp: Xingqiu Albedo Hu Tao Zhongli
Sucrose comp: Xingqiu Sucrose Hu Tao Zhongli
The first team with Mona as a support can deal higher damage than the second team. Especially with a Mona with high CRIT stats, using her Elemental Burst can give Hu Tao a 15% CRIT rate boost. In high-pressure situations, it is recommended to use Mona for optimal performance. Xingqiu can provide stable vaporize reactions, allowing Hu Tao to deal continuous vaporize damage. These two compositions are the most comfortable teams to use Hu Tao.
The third team is a classic double Geo burst comp with Albedo providing stable energy recharge for Zhongli to use his Elemental Burst. Albedo's Burst also increases Hu Tao's damage and provides a stable AoE DPS option.
The last team is with Sucrose, it is recommended to have a Sucrose with high Elemental Mastery, otherwise, it is recommended to use other team compositions.
