Got hutao anemoc
Got Hu tao the moment this video was uploaded… I couldn't get her c1 sedly
I already have almost all of the things she needs. Only missing two artifacts and Primogems.
This one is going to be quite a gamble. Hopefully I'll have enpugh for her. Maybe I'll even get Xingqiu to C6. Hopefully, it will happen.
So good luck with your wishes everyone. I wish you all the luck that you can get. We Hu Tao wanters will be Hu Tao havers!
I'm going for C1 Hu Tao
I'd also want to emphasize that C1 Hu Tao is not the type of constellation where its supposed to be mandatory. As someone who used C0 Jump cancel Tao up until her 2nd rerun to get C1. Its that kind of QoL where you can never go back, but not required. A lot of Hu Tao players make it sound like C0 Hu Tao is unplayable compared to C1 which is not really true. People are highly spoiled by C1 and even I wont deny that I am too, but lets not act like Hu Tao is a C1 or go home type of character.
I just got her and her c1 and im very happy now im watching this vid to build her up 😀
Which should i use primodial jade spear or dragonsbane for hutao?
do i use hp sands or em sands with soss ?😭
I love how "funerational" to funeral with makes perfect sense for hutoa
I'm kinda torn with my build. I have 0 EM but 70/217 crit ratio with hp sands. I farmed crimson way back in the day and for a couple months before she came out again (today). I'm so tired of the domain I hope she can do at least do 50k vape charge attacks
I also want to add, for those who have her, Nilou's skill lets Hu Tao run around with a hydro ring around her enabling vape to proc for free almost. It's not the most consistent tbh, but just something to throw out there if anyone is interested 🙂
this video is just what the doctor ordered
Why my Hu Tao has red hair😐
I rolled for her today and got the qiqi curse 😭
Since I already am used to jump cancelling, I might not pull for her but instead try to get a homa then a Yelan. Since I never won a 50/50 in my life, that might be impossible. Please lend me some luck.
I’m a HuTao main since her release back in 1.3. I’ve never identified myself with a character so much, all of the details around her design are so beautiful and well thought + well put together. I was lucky enough to get Homa and from that moment my account was never the same. Thanks to her, Spiral Abyss is always cleared with 9 stars ever since. She’s a great character and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. She’s been at the top since her release for a reason!
I lost 50/50 to Mona and then 1, 10 pull later I got 2 hu tao's 😮
I hate 50/50 such a pain as f2p
180 pulls went for yelan but lost
So only yelan no hu tao 🙁
"The question many ask is if better to run a HP o EM in the sands".
Me…with a ATK% thinking the i was right hahahahaahah
IVE VEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
This is hard banner to choose between the two 5 stars, both characters are amazing it's a difficult coice
Can't wait to pull for Staff of Homa, and C1 later
I'm first timer, got her to 86k burst damage right from the start
I have Hu Tao at c5, and her staff of Homa. I am kinda at a roadblock on what I want more, Yelan, c6, or r2 Staff of Homa. I know I'm not too lucky to go for two or all three. Though c6 is mostly just so I can say I have a c6 5 star. I use her often with Thoma so I don't often feel the need to have that immunity… But tempting regardless.
i just got her and her weapon, i’m so happy, she does around 30k charged atk and did 114k on her burst once, usually around 68-76k though
just got her after 1.5yrs waiting
260 cd and 51cr is it ok ??
I was super lucky today i got both Yelan and Hu Tao in just 45 pulls so now i can save the rest for the 3.5 characters 🙂
A whole segment just to explain her charged attack and jump cancel mechanics lol she’s garbage
Just got hu tao after getting diluc in same multi kinda happy and mad at the same time as I got 2 pyro dps now.
Tip: Beware of CW Domain lmao. Since her 1st rerun, Hu Tao is still my top hard-hitting-truck load of damage. Her teams can definitely defeat any abyss floor but given dendro & new enemies, strategic teams were now needed. Also, I'm lowkey shookt that her current recommended EM went up to 200-300, unlike the suggested 100+EM before. It's still quite a challenge getting a good CW piece with an EM substat tbh but not impossible. Good luck to all Hu Tao wanters/lovers!
Now idk who to get hu tao or yelan 😭
Rather than just double Geo, 2x Hydro with Zhongli is extremely strong because the res shred benefits all 3 characters, and makes up for not having VV. And hydro resonance makes Zhongli better as well.
I'm a happy new Hu Tao main, and got her, C6 Xingqiu, Homa and Aqua Simulacra today <3 Thankfully I already had Yelan and Zhongli, so I basically have Hu Tao's best team ready to go!
I have scara and hu tao can i Bring them together in one team?
I can't believe that Genshin was so nice to me today. First i lost the 50/50 to Jean, then after 30 pulls i got finally Hu Tao. Then tried to get her Weapon – the Pitty was 0, i did a 10 Pull and it turned gold and i got her Weapon. The rest of the fates i spent in the Hu Tao banner again and this time i won the 50/50. Its to good to be true. Thank you for the amazing guide so i can build and use my Hu Tao. 🙂
(Sorry for my bad englisch xD)
just lost 50/50 at 87 pity for hu tao to qiqi 🙁
sooo is dragons bane the 3rd best? 1st being staff of homa 2nd being death match?
I like how Hu tao is a strong but complex character to play with.
Adding Raiden Shogun's E to Hu Tao makes things interesting
As a f2p player I can be proud ti Say that After about 5 months of farming i was able to get c1 hu tao
Got hu Tao on 3 pity lmao
For those who are still wondering, Hu Tao is worth it. If you don't have Raiden, Hu Tao is almost a must for your main carrier. If you already have them, Yelan is a must.
I've tried both Crimson and Shime with my C0R1 Tao. I must say, either of them is fine. *But*, suppose having both sets available for her with comparable stats like I do, choose the set that has higher EM. Even if you put her with EM buffer comps.
After all, Shime is an expected collateral as we grind Emblem set. While Crimson, you need to commit.
I'll not pull for Hu tao, but I missed your guides, so I'm watching this one hahahha
I always wave hi irl when I watch a sevyplays video
Can you use dps Mona instead of yelan? W kazuha and Xinqiu
so I just pulled for her, 74th wish and got her 😀
Damn..i get 2 aqua simulacra 😭
