Talent Level-Up Materials:
Elemental Skill = Normal Attack > Elemental Burst. You can level them up equaly and then focus on upgrading the Elemental Burst.
Weapon Recommendations:
T0: Staff of Homa
T1: Skyward Spine, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
T2: Dragon's Bane, Crescent Pike
Hu Tao has a lot of weapon choices, but the best option is still her exclusive weapon. The staff of Homa is very powerful and versatile, making it worth pulling for.
Artifact Recommendations:
1. 4-piece Witch Set
2. 4-piece Gladiator's Finale Set
3. 2-piece Witch Set 2-piece Gladiator's Finale Set
The best choice is the 4-piece Witch Set.
Secondary Stats Priority:
Sands: HP/Elemental Mastery
Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
Circlet: Crit Rate/Crit DMG
Focus on getting Crit Rate > Elemental Mastery > HP as substats.
Team Compositions:
Vaporize Team: Xingqiu Mona Hu Tao Xiangling
Hu Tao Xingqiu Xiangling Zhongli
Double Geo Vaporize Team: Ningguang Albedo Hu Tao Zhongli
Sucrose Vaporize Team: Sucrose Hu Tao Xingqiu Zhongli
The first team deals the highest damage, especially with a high constellation Mona. Mona's taunt can give Hu Tao a 15% Crit Rate boost, making it ideal in high-pressure situations. The second team replaces Xingqiu with Chongyun to provide more stable hydro reactions and allows Hu Tao to consistently trigger vaporize reactions. The third team is a classic double Geo team, where Albedo provides stable energy recharge for Zhongli to use his burst ability, increasing the team's survivability and providing steady AoE damage output. The last team includes Sucrose for elemental mastery support, but it is recommended to have a high constellation Sucrose for this team to work effectively.
Constellations Analysis:
It is recommended to aim for at least C1, but if you can afford it, C6 is highly recommended.
C1 significantly improves Hu Tao's DPS by increasing her charged attack level, while C5 increases her elemental burst damage and reduces stamina
