Looking back through all the years of Genshin Impact so far, I found it really fascinating how long Hu Tao has stayed relevant for and all the different ways she kept herself in the meta’s top tiers. Today we’ll be going through the history of Hu Tao, and how she still manages to survive even amidst Genshin’s increasing power ceiling.

Oh yeah I forgot to include her getting buffed from Hydro resonance becoming 25% max Hp instead of 20% healing lol
hutao will always be the strongest pyro
1:39 "Unless you regard Xiangling as a one"💀
I can't take it anymore…
1.0 – She was a vape caracter who scales off Atk
2.0 – She barely needs ER
3.0 – She loves having EM
4.0 – She loves HP manipulation
What is Natlan gonna have that benefits this character somehow?
Imagine there being a big party healer that increases infused attacks
The slime will never let her die
I feel she Will find a Way to stay relevant even in natlant
It took a literal Harbinger to contest Hu Tao’s place, and even then Hu Tao is still often the first, and arguably best, option for a Pyro DPS.
Even Vicineko agrees, Hu Tao is just a fan favorite
Look likes running a funarel parlor can comes quite handy in a voiding one yourself
unkillable but unlikeable too
If hu tao somehow gets another teammate that buffs her i don’t think she will be the main dps anymore as of now she barely does half of the teams dps😂. Except if we get a cryo xq that applies 2u of hydro every time or something
It's a pity, if she died, the number of deaths in Li Yue would drop sharply.
That wouldn't be very productive would it? I mean, she is a funeral parlor director. If she died, she'd be her own customer. No profit in that
During her most previous rerun, I didn’t get her mainly because i wanted Yelan more. However after my failure to get her, I realized that she's really boring gameplay wise. I like her design and personality but the gameplay majes the character for me. (Most of the time, exceptions being Ganyu and Layla) Staff of Homa is nice for my Xiao tho
My lovely hu tao! She's still my favorite character in genshin and it will never change! I love using her in abyss especially boss floors, she just melts enemies like butter!
Hutao refused to die?
I pretty sure she did die, when she prank my 50/50 with Dehya while having Neuvillette standing 0 Pity behind her. With Arlecchino later sweeping the remain.
You forgot mentioning the change to hydro resonance from healing bonus to bonus HP, which basically buffed her whole double hydro team.
There's so much wrong with this video, I just give up
With Emilie just around the corner, a burning reaction buffer, Hu Tao might get a resurgence and this time in a viable dendro team, I mean I don't know her status now with dendro I don't have Hu Tao hahaha, nevertheless, I think no, Hu Tao ain't going nowhere anywhere else.
mona xq zhongli was also a really nice choice for hutao
Man everyone tells me Arlecchino is better than Hu Tao, but I have both, and my Arlecchino isn't hitting 120k every second before even factoring in Yelan and XQs damage.
Hu Tao is great, I've come to appreciate her even more now that Arlecchino came out, as someone who refuses to use Bennett most of the time, Hu Tao is miles better in my eyes than Arlecchino because the latter needs Bennett's circle to perform at her peak.
imagine if pyro arcon would bu pure pyro support allowing you to run double pyro and hydro so hu tao, pyro arcon, yelan, furina
atk buff ✅
healing ✅
some other buff ✅
that would some next level sourcery hu tao would be taking all pyro units and putting them into coffins while climbing to the number 1 spot
Nanomachines, son
the one character I can see myself c6 as a ftp
What would you powercreep for in Jenshin? Another annoying boss that stays off field for 90% of the fight
Considering how close relatively she will release to Arlecchino, I doubt the Pyro archon will be another DPS. There is a possibility the Pyro archon could support Hu Tao and keep her relevant even through version 5.
Also somewhat unrelated but at C0, Hu Tao plunge does extremely comparable damage to Arlecchino teams is not better. Arlecchino does scale like crazy with constellations though
“That rap was fire. Put it out.”
To make a correction : Plunging Hu Tao isn't plunge spam but actually N2 + Charged Attack + Plunge combo – which actually make her deal slightly more DMG than C1 traditional double hydro
And that makes her the best plunge DPS in the game funnily enough (thanks to the team being extremely strong and giving out more buffs)
Also regarding Dehya at 6:45, she wasn't "meant to be a DPS", she was meant to be a Tank support. Yeah a niche one that only really saw an interest in Lyney and Neuvillette teams but a support nonetheless (it's basically the same as when Kokomi released and everybody wanted to play her DPS because her burst and constellations were DPS oriented, while she was supposed to be healer and AoE hydro app)
there'll probably be some new supports that enable hu tao to get even stronger
neck and neck with cappuccino probably but it's kind of fun to have choices if you prefer one to the other
they're both insanely strong though i think hu tao teams are easier to put together
I want to use Hu Tao she's feels so hard for me to use without C1.
Arlecchino is Easier to use than Hu Tao but… I suck at dodging.
Hu Tao. Hoyoverse buggest Mistake
Still my top DPS, Hu Tao will never die
"How GOOD was Hu Tao ACTUALLY? The History of Hu Tao in competitive Genshin" -Vars 2
Sorry I had to dislike the second you compared Hu Tao and Neuvillete, I am fed up with Neuvillete being mentioned on every single topic regarding genshin.
I bet they'll add a cryo xingqiu but the trigger being charged attacks rather than normals so only she can benefit from it
I don't think the pyro archon will be an issue for Hu Tao. It doesn't seem likely that they would introduce what is essentially a more powerful version of Hu Tao in Fontaine, just to up the ante directly again in Natlan. But that's just me. I still think Hu Tao is one of the best attackers in the game, and even if she's not as powerful as Arlecchino, the fact that she's been relevant this long makes her one of the best DPS units in the game.
She's the reason i played this game and always be my favorite characters❤
HU TAO MAIN RISEEE UPPP🔥
This just in, Pyro Archon and Hu Tao have the best synergy in Genshin history and Hu Tao also gets dedicated artifact set catioulting her to the very best in game
Unkillable? HAHAHAHA. Any time I use her as a trial the moment I use her skill she's KOed by a stiff breeze. On top of that I find her personality to be annoying so she's always been an easy skip for me. Nice ass, though.
in the stars and in the abyss, she alone is the meta one
Even if she gets thrown off the meta, she will still be one of my favorite characters to use ever
If Tao has 1 million fans, then I am one of them
If Tao has 5 fans, then I am one of them
if Tao has 1 fan, then he is me
If Tao has no fans, then I am no longer alive
If the world is against Tao, then I am against the world
From the OG liyue big 3 the only one who is forgotten by hoyo is Ganyu, bc Hu Tao and Xiao are really good with how many indirect buffs they had, but i feel like people overrate Hu Tao a lot bc she's popular, Lyney, Gaming, Xiangling and now Arlecchino are decently stronger than her lmao
as a Hu Tao stan/main it’s crazy how far she’s gotten despite Arlecchino coming out and actually now having someone to compete with. also her being in a plunge team is fun imo
can’t wait if Hu Tao is still there in Natlan with all these new characters coming out soon 🙂
She ferry the dead, but refuses to die…
