Hu Tao is one of the fan base's favorite characters Genshin Impact. Many would even argue that she is a top DPS in the game. Hu Tao works best in a party as the primary DPS Pyro, meaning he will be the main damage dealer of the team and his equipped items will support his Pyro abilities.
Although her hits increase with Attack, Hu Tao needs HP to perform because her HP is later converted to ATK. Meanwhile, equipping her with ATK-boosting items is a bad decision, as her base ATK is one of the lowest of all available characters. Here is an overview of the best Hu Tao built in Genshin Impact to help the Travelers build their right.

They won't give the same DPS as Crimson, but they can give it enough DMG to be a reliable DPS.

Other than that, here are some other alternatives for Hu Tao's best weapons:
- Flight of the Dragon: Strictly for Hu Tao's teams Vaporize in Genshin Impact.
- Primal Jade Winged Spear: His passive can be inconsistent, but overall, it's decent for Hu Tao.
- death match: A powerful Polearm jumpsuit that fits virtually most damage dealers.
- Staff of the Scarlet Sands: Hu Tao can't activate the full effect of Polearm, but the extra critical rate and ATK% is worth it.
- Ballad of the Fjords: Another Battle Pass beard weapon that gives Hu Tao a lot of elemental mastery for her Vaporize DMG.
- Blackcliff Pole: It can be hard to maintain its passive, but it's a great F2P weapon.
- The lithic spear: It requires characters from Liyue to max out, but since Hu Tao is usually paired with Xingqiu, Yelan, or Zhongli, there are two immediate stacks for Polearm.
- White Beak: A 3 star weapon in Genshin Impact which has an amazing passive and sub-stat. A great option for new travelers. However, note that players who build up HP to convert to ATK can overcome the limitation with this weapon. The limit for ATK converted from HP is 400% of Hu Tao's base ATK.
Overview of Hu Tao's talent
Much of Hu Tao's kit revolves around her health, which can be linked to her roots as a funeral director. This is a good thing for her team building, as pairing her with Hydro units boosts her Vaporize DMG and increases her HP by 25%. Even her Constellations exhibit similar qualities; C2 increases Blood Blossom DMG by 10% of max HP. And at C6, if she drops below 25% health, her CRIT rate increases by 100%.
Hu Tao's elemental ability
Hu Tao's elemental ability increases his ATK based on max HP and changes his 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 cannot exceed 400% of Hu Tao's base ATK (usually this is not a problem unless players use White Tassel).
To activate this ability, Hu Tao must sacrifice 30% of his current HP (so don't worry, Hu Tao can't die from casting this ability). When her health is below 50%, one of her passives increases her Pyro DMG by 33%. For this reason, players should keep Undertaker Wangsheng at low HP.
Hu Tao's Elemental Blast
Hu Tao deals AoE Pyro DMG while regenerating health. When releasing her Elemental Burst, if Hu Tao's HP is below 50%, her damage output and health regeneration are increased.
The priority of Hu Tao's talent
Many people's instincts would lean towards leveling up Hu Tao's skill, but the priority for Hu Tao's skill level up is actually: Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Blast.
