GET READY for EXPLOSIONS! Hutao is coming! There are some interesting weapon choices for Hutao that may surprise you. I plan to try some of the less conventional weapons on her when she’s release.

Hu Tao has the lowest base ATK in the game, thus scales terribly with ATK%. Thus her artifacts are assumed to be HP%/Pyro%/Crit Rate for main stats.
For substats, you want to aim for Crit Stats > HP% > EM (only if doing reactions) > ER > ATK% > Flat ATK > Flat HP > DEF% > Flat DEF.
E lasts 9s on a 16s CD. She gains ATK based off of her Max HP, but is capped at 400% of her base ATK. With a 5-star, you'll not hit this cap normally.
Her E removes 30% of her CURRENT HP.
Her E does not do any damage on activation. It only gives her the ATK Boost based on max HP, infuses her with Pyro for the duration and allows her to make Blood Blossoms.
Blood Blossoms do not seem to deal damage on hit. Last 8s, and deal damage every 4s. So 2 ticks total. Hitting an enemy with a Blood Blossom with a new one just refreshes the duration of the blossoms. Her E doesn't seem to generate E on it's own, but generates energy on applying a new Blood Blossom. Not sure how consistent this is or if refreshing this gives energy too.
Her 4th ascension stat currently is Crit DMG.
Below 50% HP, she gains +33% Pyro.
Below 50% HP, her burst deals x1.25 more damage (no matter the level of the talent, the multiplier is increased by that much).
Below 50% HP, her burst heals her x1.33 more HP (no matter the level of the talent, the multiplier is increased by that much).
Depending on the level of the talent and the number of enemies hit, she can heal 6% to 85% of her max HP.
Artifacts:
Crimson Witch: Best set if you do reactions. Gives a guaranteed +22.5% Pyro during her entire E duration. With added damage when triggering reactions. Everything she does is boosted.
Retracting Bolide: Best used when paired with Zhongli, but will not boost her Burst or Blossoms.
Lavawalker: If you're planning on a mono element build (such as 2 Pyro 2 Geo). Situational set still….
love your content regardless of editing! why don't you mention 2 piece wanderers? i imagine wanderers x noblesse could be good for a burst melt build
wait why isnt crescent pike a good option
its a pity her E bonus atk depends on "CURRENT" Hp while the burst requires below 50% hp….
Great content, though could you perhaps compare her DPS output to other pyro DPS in a future video? (after she's released ofc)
Deathmatch good enough? Or should i buy blackliff
i hope i can get her
Her blood blossom is considered as an "elemental skill dmg" every time it procs based on what I've read on honey impact. I wonder if that'll stack the Crimson Witch's set 4pc passive…
Would 2piece glad 2cw really benefit her? I read it from somewhere that glad is a big no no but its the only good artifact set that I have.
really love your analysis man it is so clear and pleasant to hear <3
Isn't lavawalker bonus for all damage?
awesome, more please
Love the video! Will be waiting for post release!
still have to bear in mind that lithic spear will also be giving more consistent output with up to 28% cr increase which is massive. to also add, the loss of 33% pyro doesnt just apply to staff of homa. it applies to all weapons.
HEAR ME OUT! HEAR ME OUT!
Dragon's Bane might actually be useful on her if you pair her with Xingqiu for vaporise synergy.
[Dragon's Bane Stats]
[Base Atk] 41
[2nd Stat] 48 elemental mastery
[Bane of flame and water] Increases DMG against opponents affected by PYRO or HYDRO by 20%
Y'all see that? pyro and hydro, that will always be activated since Hu Tao (or any other pyro char) can constantly apply pyro when Xingqiu's ult is not up and when it is, you will be vaporising AND constantly getting that damage bonus from the Dragon's Bane. Yes, the base attack might be low but its practically the Diluc + Xingqiu combo but instead of Dilluc its a WAIFU.
where you get the clip for normal skill talent attack?
Hey, I really appreciate the maths but I noticed a few errors. NA/CA/Burst multipliers stack multiplicatively on top of damage instead of additively on top of elemental damage (like lavawalker does). I like using your calculator a lot and noticed in your calculator you don't distinguish there.
I've tested cryo xiangling with pyro applications (reverse melt) and noticed that you can melt every CA so would expect Hu Tao to be able to vaporise every CA.
00:27 you mean Crescent Pike?
Another great video. Tons of details and you answered some of my biggest questions!
I can't believe white tassel outmatched deathmatch, or even the other 5* weapons. Thanks! I was almost going to claim my BP rewards later😁
What rank would you give her as a prospective dps,I know this speculation and subjective buy I really value your opinion.
idk why i watch a lot of hu tao video cus even if i reach pity it still 50/50 and based on my luck ill not get her
I liked the video, but considering E takes in consideration your Base Attack and can only go up to 400% of it. Fells like something very very important to put into consideration at choosing weapons.
