Genshin Impact Hu Tao Character Guide

Keep in mind that Hu Tao is currently appearing in Genshin Impact Version 1.3 alongside Xiao, and all of the information we have on her comes from closed beta leaks. We'll make sure to keep this guide up to date as we approach the release of version 1.3 in February.

Ventilation de Genshin Impact Hu Tao

Below is a full list of his attacks and abilities, passive talents, constellations, and finally all of his ascension and talent requirements. Since this information has not been officially confirmed at the time of publication (it is all from the closed beta), all that may change between now and the debut of Hu Tao. While she will continue to use Agnidus for ascension like the other Pyro characters, she and Xiao appear to use a second, more recent elemental material for their ascension: Juvenile Jade. This material will drop from a new world boss, the Old Geovishap.

Hu Tao's attacks and abilities

• Melee: Wangsheng's Secret Lance
  • Normal Attack: Perform up to 6 consecutive spear strikes.
  • Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to slash forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
  • Plunging Attack: Dives from the air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the way and dealing area damage on impact.
• Elementary Skill: Guide to the Afterlife
  • Hu Tao consumes a fixed portion of his health to knock back surrounding enemies, entering the state.
    • Increases Hu Tao's attack based on his max HP when entering this state. The attack bonus thus obtained cannot exceed 300% of Hu Tao's base attack.

    • Charged attacks apply the Blood Blossom effect to enemies hit.
    • Increases Hu Tao's resistance to interruption.

    • Paramita Papilio ends when its duration is over or Hu Tao has left the battlefield or fallen.
• Elemental Blast: Spirit Lollipop
  • Orders the flaming spirits to attack, dealing Pyro damage in a large area.
  • Upon hitting the enemy, regenerates a percentage of Hu Tao's Max HP. This effect can be triggered up to 5 times, depending on the number of enemies hit.
