  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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 🙂

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. 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)

  13. 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.
