The History of Hu Tao – Genshin Impact's Unkillable Character



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.

  1. 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?

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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)

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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.

  15. 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

  16. 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

    Reply
  17. 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 🙂
