Strategy Against Hu Tao's TCG Deck

Hu Tao's deck is one of the hardest decks in Version 3.7, as it uses the classic Vaporize and Melt team. But, the thing that makes it extra harder to deal with, is how well Hu Tao and Xingqiu compliments each other!

This said, we suggest taking out either of them first, by disabling Chongyun with Frozen and dealing AoE damage using Pierce-attacks or Electro-Charged. If you leave Chongyun behind freely, he can easily apply Cryo to your character, which could mean an easy Melt from Hu Tao or worse, Freeze, from Xingqiu.
