Hutao [Overview]
|
Hutao, the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a person vital to managing Liyue's funerary affairs. Hu Tao's character is extremely odd, writing her eccentric adventure poems at midnight and going all over the Liyue during the daytime. Even though she always comes and goes, she can light and warm all the people around her. As a Pyro five stars’ character, she uses the weapon, Polearm. |

Elemental Skill Guide to Afterlife
|
Using part of HP, knocks back the surrounding enemies, and enters the Paramita Papilio state. Paramita Papilio
Blood Blossom Enemies will receive Pyro damage every 4s. This damage is regarded as elemental combat skill damage. There can only be one Blood Blossom effect on the same target, and it can only be refreshed for the duration by Hutao herself. * will be ended of its duration, or character exits the field or falls down. |
|
Elemental Burst Spirit Soother
|
Inflicts large-scale Pyro elemental damage. When hitting an enemy, based on the upper limit of Hutao's HP, her HP will be restored. This effect will take effect on up to 5 enemies hit. If HP is ≤ 50%, it will cause higher damage and healing. |
Hutao [Weapon Choice]
I suggest choosing the Weapon with:
- Critical DMG, Crit Rate
- HP
- ATT %, ATT Flat
*4 Stars’ Crafting weapons are not good for Hutao, if you don’t have one from Wish, I recommend Prototype Starglitter to give some Charge Attack.
*3 Stars’ weapons base attack is too low, not recommended.

The best free four stars weapon for Hutao, with high energy rechage. Obtain: ①Catch 20 Rusty Koi， ②Catch 20 Golden Koi， ③Catch 6 Raimei Angelfish，④ Exchange the fishes to Kujirai Momiji's shop in Inazuma. |
|
Favonius Lance (Wish) |
CRIT hits have a 60% - 100% chance to generate a small number of Elemental Paticles, in every12-6s. |
|
White Tasse (Wish) |
The best 3-star weapon for Hutao. With ATK and Crit Rite. But we are going to build Hutao as a strong DPS, the 3 stars weapon is good for transformation. |
|
Crafting Weapon |
Mondstadt/Liyue/Inazuma's Crafting Polearms are not the best choice. If you are only going to prepare one for Hutao, try crafting one "Prototype Starglitter" from Liyue. |
Hutao [Artifacts Sets]
Same as weapon Status on your artifacts, these are the focus points:
- Critical DMG, Crit Rate
- HP %
- ATT %
- ATT Flat≥ HP Flat
Prioritizing Crit damage gives the biggest DPS output. HP % will boost her elemental Skills the most. Att Flat is taken because it usually has a bigger impact on attacks than flat HP.
Basic (Obtaining difficulty is low, only for transition):
- Berserker (Crit Rate)
- Martial Artist (Charged Attack DMG)
Advanced (Obtaining difficulty is low, only for transition):
2 + 2 + 1 free
The two “2” could be:
Crimson Witch of Flames Set / Wanderer's Troupe Set / Noblesse Oblige Set / Gladiator Set.
Premium:

Hutao [Team Build]
Hu Tao's team composition primarily revolves around her and Zhongli, but there are several viable options:
- Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Zhongli: This team focuses on high AoE damage and freeze combos.
- Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Xiangling: A well-rounded team that provides healing, energy recharge, and Pyro resonance.
When using Hutaoas Main DPS in a team, the other teammates could:
- provide healing.
- provide Elemental Reactions.
- provide shield.
Basic: *(If you are totally f2p, and no extra good characters for Hutao at the moment)
Hutao + Barbara + Fischl + Kaeya
Xingqiu can heal, and Kaeya’s elemental burst will provide the shield and the reactions.
Two Pyros will increase damage.
Advanced: *(More choices in the list below)
- Hutao + Xingqiu + Bennett + Kaeya
- Hutao + Xiangling + Fischl + Noelle
- Hutao + Xingqiu + Xiangling + Fischl
Noelle and Diona can give the shield and Healing. Bennett can increase the DMG and Healing.
Intermediate (More Choices in the table):
Hutao + Xingqiu + Albedo + Zhongli
- Barbara and Qiqi are good healers, but the more continuous Healing they do, the less damage Hutao will do. So I prefer to use Jean here.

Discussion
Q: Why ATT Flat ≥ HP Flat？
A: The maximum HP flat entry is 299, the maximum percentage attack entry is 5.8%, and the maximum Att flat is 1.
9 Here we count the multiplier of elemental skills talent at level 10, the Hutao with a lvl 1 weapon.
The damage that of them:
HP flat: 299×6.26%≈18.7 (less than att flat 19)
Att Flat: 19
Att %: 560×5.8%≈32.5
So Att % ＞ Att flat > HP flat
