Yes it does

Hu Tao’s dps when her E is on is superior than Diluc and Xiao. But I think ganyu still out dps her.

Do crits work with the Guide to Afterlife dmg boost?

>>37 she wouldve been Ultra SSS tier if she said EKUUUUSPUROOOOSION!! during her Q

>>36 If you're saying she's trash, you don't know crap. If you're saying she's the best in the game you also don't know crap, but she undeniably outputs some very good numbers. Also waifu > meta, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Very good character with decent investment, never shredded bosses harder before. C1 charge spam has some insane numbers, and her low HP skill + burst can easily hit for 100k+ and get you back up to high HP to avoid fatal situations. During her skill downtime she is relatively weak, and so it's clear that characters such as Ganyu are far more consistent in their DPS and overall usefulness, but those 9 seconds when she's on fire are an incredibly valuable and menacing 9 seconds.

Zhongli should be in one of the recommended supports IMO. his shield is super beefy and can keep her at 50% or under without worrying about the shield breaking while giving the resistance reduction on enemies

>>31 2 piece glad is really bad for her because of her low base attack tho. Even 1 stack of witch is better than that.

>>24 Thanks for conveying my point.

>>26 I think that Diona is better, you have a shield, healing and her passive make Hu Tao use less stamina during charge atk or dash

I just thought i'd say that you dont really want to 4-piece the Crimson Witch of Flames because Hu Tao can't really use her ability 3 times every 10 seconds or she'll die; unless I guess you've got some insane healing. I would suggest either 2 Gladiator & 2 Crimson Witch, or 4-piece Lavawalker (no point in 2-piece Lavawalker).

>>27 if you've studied her a lot then you should know that retracing bolide is indeed a very viable option for her if you have zhongli. I run retracing bolide on her and I pair her up with zhongli since he has 100% shield uptime (meaning hu tao doesn't need a healer like Bennett) and hu tao can gain a 40% damage bonus while shielded. since hu tao has a low base attack, she doesn't benefit much from atk% and rather she benefits from dmg%, so bolide does indeed work for her.

I feel like people are kinda forgetting that those are all limitied characters: Ganyu, Hu Tao e.t.c. When's the next time Ganyu comes around? Anyone who started after her release has close to 0 chances to get her xD On the side note, what do you think about running her with: Hu Tao - Xiao - Mona - Jean. Hu Tao and Xiao for switching between them during CD, Mona for taunts and burst, and Jean for heals and occasional grouping-up. If one main dps gets low switch to another + anemo reso for energy

This guide isn't great for detailed analysis on best artifacts and weapons check out: Artifacts, best is 4 Crimson Witch https://www.hoyolab.com/genshin/article/220213 Weapons, https://www.hoyolab.com/genshin/article/220272

wait... shield artifact on her ??? what ??? this doesn’t nake sense to me at all and i studied her a lot

i think bennet is better with hu tao than diona tbh... the perfect party would be her, bennet, ganyu and a hydro character imo (like mona or xingqiu)

>>16 You aren't using Ganyu to her full potential. It's clear as day.

>>23 Because they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. I have C6 Ganyu and C6 Hu Tao. Ganyu is overall better as a support and DPS carry. Most of the people talking don't know shit and are talking about of their ass about their favorite character. Yes, we get it. Hu Tao is cute. Alright, she is good but no way is she the best right now. It's simple.

Just to put this straight, don’t let the hype of a character distract you for saving up for another. Just like Ganyu, there was a period of hype for her and now she is being stepped on by certain Hu Tao mains.

>>7 This isn’t true, because ganyu can constantly prove her charged shot, while Xiao with proper ER can constantly proc his Anemo buff too. Even though hutao can regenerate her health, you have to remember that sustain her form without multiple enemies can be a bir disadvantageous. In my opinion, the tier list on this website is inaccurate as each characters have their own unique proc. For example,Diluc has Low ER cost and also extra Dot when calculating his damage against crowd controlling.
