Tomorrow, the Rite of Lanterns gala will be over, after a month full of celebrations where the people of Teyvat were able to raise their wishes to the sky through a Xiao Lantern.
That's why Genshin Impact developers, miHoYo, released all the details about the new character coming soon to the game, whose weapon is now available through the Epitome Summon banner.
Introducing Hu Tao, the 77th Director of Wangsheng Funeral Home.
Hu Tao: history and abilities
Hu Tao is a somewhat mysterious character as despite being a very young person, she became the main person in charge of all Liyue's funeral affairs, together with Zhongli.
However, beyond her earnestness as a funeral home director, Hu Tao is often well known for her prankish and curious attitude, as well as having mean and mischievous ideas from time to time.
Despite this, she always tends to respect the position she finds herself in towards life, and towards all those who go into the afterlife in a funeral march surrounded by dim lights, bearing great responsibility. with the people of this world and the next. .

His normal attack, Wangsheng's Secret Spear, allows him to smash enemies with up to six quick swings using his polearm. When charged, Hu Tao can consume a certain amount of stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to enemies along the way.
His elemental skill, Guide to Afterlife, allows Hu Tao to consume some of his HP to knock back nearby enemies, while also entering the Paramita Papilio state.
In the Paramita Papilio state, Hu Tao's ATK will be boosted based on his max HP, though this ATK bonus cannot exceed 400% of his base ATK. This state will also convert his attack DMGs to Pyro DMGs, as well as giving him more interrupt resistance.

Recommended Team Composition
To get the most out of it, we recommend using Hu Tao with:
- Xingqiu (Hydro) : It will allow Hu Tao to permanently inflict more damage on his opponents through vaporization reactions.
- Bennett (Pyro) : Provides Pyro Resonance without healing Hu Tao, to gain more benefits from using Hu Tao's status buffs.
- Zhongli (géo) : His skills avoid high damage with his shield while providing a mobile debuff, making it safer for Hu Tao to fight while at low health.
- We can also suggest picking any Cryo character to deal Melt DMG, or healing characters like Barbara to deal Vaporize DMG while also giving an escape window.
