Not to mention he can just drop an elemental burst every now and again for a ton of AOE damage.Īlbedo is the passive damage prince, being able to remain off-field for 30 seconds while applying a steady stream of damage and receive a Geo boost from the resonance that makes the job that much easier for your main DPS. The fact that Zhongli can play both offense and defense at the same time is one of the main reasons for his prominence and why he’s not easily replaced. A nice and sturdy shield will help prevent her from getting one-shot or combo killed out of nowhere. Zhongli’s shield will be vital as Hu Tao performs her best under 50% health. If performance is what you’re after, it’ll be hard to justify another character above him. That all being said, you could substitute Xinqiu for any other Hydro here you like if you prefer their playstyle. Xingqiu’s rain swords attack very quickly which actually works in our favor because before Hu Tao executes her charge attack, she actually performs a basic attack which will spark the rain swords in time to apply Hydro for the charge attack. Lastly, Electro resonance may seem bad on paper but it actually puts in work and allows you to spam your burst frequently.Īs we discussed previously, Hu Tao’s charge attack does not have an internal cooldown and can spark reactions as fast as you can queue up the next charge attack. If paired with a weapon that is also lackluster in the base attack department, the overall boost won’t be as enticing as it would be for other main DPS characters.Ĭryo resonance is also another interesting take allowing you to stack more crit damage in your artifacts. However, Fervent Flames is less attractive here than usual because of Hu tao’s low natural base attack. Since we’re trying to increase Hu tao’s overall damage, Fervent Flames and Enduring Rock will be our go-to resonances when we can afford to do so. Note that she not only relies on Pyro reactions but Electrocharge, Freeze, and Overload are also extremely important for her.

This means that on top of having a higher multiplier than her auto-attack combo, we can consistently trigger either Melt or Vaporize for as long as her skill is active and we have stamina. One of the main reasons these elemental reactions help put out so much compared to other characters is that Hu Tao’s charge attack has no internal cooldown. So, we’ll be triggering Vaporized more often but that doesn’t stop her Melt teams from being solid options as well. While Melt does provide more damage, we’ll see once we get to the team comps that her actual best partner is a Hydro character. These are the bedrocks for any Pyro main DPS as they’ll either multiply your damage by 1.5 or 2x depending on which reaction you trigger. The main two that you’ll be striving to include on every team are Melt or Vaporize. Hu tao’s potential damage output is very high and one of the main factors of that is her elemental reactions. We’ll be discussing team comps from the best of the best to those easily accessible to free-to-play players. The elemental resonances we can take advantage of, and what teammates will help to improve Hu tao’s overall damage. We’ll be taking a look at what elemental reactions we’ll want to make a priority when choosing teammates. Leaked Sumeru Characters Collei, Tighnari, Dori
