Hu Tao Build In Genshin Impact – Best Build Guide
Hu Tao is one of the fanbase’s favorite characters in Genshin Impact. Many would even argue that she’s a top-tier DPS in the game. Hu Tao operates best in a party as a Pyro Main DPS, meaning she’ll be the main damage dealer of the team and her equipped items will support her Pyro abilities.
Although her hits scale with Attack, Hu Tao needs HP to perform as her HP is later converted to ATK. Meanwhile, equipping her with items that boost ATK is a poor decision since her Base ATK is one of the lowest among all available characters. Here’s an overview of the best Hu Tao build in Genshin Impact to help Travelers build her right.

Updated on October 31, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: Hu Tao remains strongly rooted in the game’s meta because of how versatile she is in Genshin Impact. This allows many characters to join her party to offer her new gameplay and mechanics. With the release of Xianyun in Genshin Impact, Hu Tao’s gameplay developed to involve more Pyro Plunging attacks, which greatly elevated her DPS. Now that there’s another Hu Tao Banner, it only makes sense to update this guide to include all the new things that improve Hu Tao’s build in Genshin Impact.

Hu Tao Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
The 4pc Crimson Witch of Flames set works excellently on Hu Tao because her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst utilize Pyro DMG, and the 2-piece set offers a Pyro DMG Bonus of 15%. Hu Tao’s Vaporize hits will be more devastating when using Crimson Witch of Flames.

On the other hand, you can go for 4pc of Shimenawa’s Reminiscence or Marechaussee Hunter as a replacement. They won’t offer the same DPS as Crimson, but they can give her enough DMG to be a reliable DPS. Shimenawa’s Reminiscence is straight with a 50% buff to her Charged ATK DMG, while Marechaussee Hunter completely dictates her build to be more focused toward Crit DMG.
Hu Tao Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
As far as weapons go, the Staff of Homa is easily the best weapon for Hu Tao, as it was created for her. Its skill, Reckless Cinnabar, increases HP and provides an ATK bonus according to Hu Tao’s max health. Since she will stack up on HP, she’ll naturally gain a lot of ATK stat. Additionally, when Hu Tao’s HP drops below 50%, she’s granted more ATK%. Considering Hu Tao will reduce her own HP when casting her skill, it’s trivial for her to trigger this effect.

Other than that, here are some other alternatives for Hu Tao’s best weapons:
- Dragon’s Bane: Strictly for Hu Tao’s Vaporize teams in Genshin Impact.
- Primordial Jade Winged-Spear: Its passive can be inconsistent, but overall, it’s decent for Hu Tao.
- Deathmatch: A strong Polearm overall that fits practically most damage dealers.
- Staff of the Scarlet Sands: Hu Tao can’t activate the full Polearm’s effect, but the Crit Rate and extra ATK% are worth it.
- Ballad of the Fjords: Another Battle Pass Polearm that grants Hu Tao a lot of Elemental Mastery for her Vaporize DMG.
- Blackcliff Pole: It may be hard to maintain its passive, but it’s a great F2P weapon.
- Lithic Spear: Require characters from Liyue to maximize, but since Hu Tao is usually paired with Xingqiu, Yelan, or Zhongli, that’s two immediate stacks for the Polearm.
- White Tassel: A 3-star weapon in Genshin Impact that has an amazing passive and sub-stat. A great option for new Travelers. However, note that players stacking up on HP to be converted to ATK may exceed the limitation with this weapon. The limit for converted ATK from HP is 400% of Hu Tao’s Base ATK.
Hu Tao’s Talent Overview
Much of Hu Tao’s kit revolves around her health, which may tie back to her roots as a funeral director. That’s a good thing for her team building as teaming her with Hydro units improves her Vaporize DMG and increases her HP by 25%. Even her Constellations exhibit similar qualities; C2 increases Blood Blossom DMG by 10% of her Max HP. And at C6, if she falls below 25% health, her CRIT Rate is increased by 100%.
Hu Tao’s Elemental Skill
Hu Tao’s Elemental Skill increases her ATK based on her max HP and changes her Normal Attack DMG to Pyro DMG. At level eight, she gains ATK based on 5.66% of her health, and at level 10, the number increases to 6.26%. Note that this bonus can’t exceed 400% of Hu Tao’s Base ATK (This is usually not an issue, though, except if players are using White Tassel).
To activate this skill, Hu Tao has to sacrifice 30% of her current HP (so don’t worry, Hu Tao can’t die from casting this ability). When her health is less than 50%, one of her passive talents increases her Pyro DMG by 33%. Because of this, players should keep the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Director at low HP.
Hu Tao’s Elemental Burst
Hu Tao deals AoE Pyro DMG while regenerating her health. When releasing her Elemental Burst, if Hu Tao’s HP is below 50%, her damage output and health regeneration are both increased.
Hu Tao’s Talent Priority
Many people’s instincts would incline toward leveling Hu Tao’s Skill, but the priority for Hu Tao’s talent level up is actually: Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst.
