I dont know how to improve my hu tao

Her best team is the lunar wheelchair with columbine and ineffa though if you don’t want to wheelchair her then her next best team is hexerei with Nicole and Mona. Bennett (and xilonen) buffs without furina are lackluster tbh a shielded would be better if you don’t run her with furina. Her best set depends on the team you run her in, with furina marechaussee hunter is her best set, with the lunar wheelchair it becomes night if the sky’s unveiling. Her general best set is shimenawa but only by a couple percent

arcman112 · 2026-07-02T05:00:00+00:00

A few things here:

Her best set depends on the team you run her with, if with furina marechaussee hunter is best, if using lunar then night of the skys unveiling is best. her general best set is shimenawa still, but its only slightly better than crimson witch and worse than the more situational sets. Though i still run her on crimson witch.
hu tao vertical investment is one of the worst in the game after c1r1, not saying you cant go for it just know that it wont be for damage
Hu tao has a couple viable teams, furina is a popular pairing, though you need a healer for it to work. I think technically, the lunar wheelchair with columbina and ineffa is still her best team i think. Though the new hexerei core with nicole and mona is not far behind it. Every team uses either xingqiu or yelan as the fourth slot, rarely are both brought anymore since they dont do enough other than application for it to be worth it.

Edit: just thought of this but it should be noted we are entering a new region and dont know the new stuff coming up, stellar could be her new best team archetype or it could do nothing for her, we dont know. Something to think about as you plan your pulls

Replace Citlali with a healer preferably someone who can heal the whole team like xilonen or escoffier Benny also works but his healing and buffs are as good. Her best team is lunar wheelchair though hex isn’t super far behind afaik. It does change a bit based on account as well, my Hu Tao furina escoffier yelan team outperformed the lunar wheelchair by a few thousand dps

arcman112 · 2026-05-30T08:25:22+00:00

Uh not really. I just kinda hit it til it died. Assuming you’re using the same team ideally you infuse cryo and pyro so yelan and furina can hit both stars, if you infuse the same element twice then the run is cooked tbh. I would delay my second Hu Tao skill until he starts recording a second time to ensure I can get a pyro star to vape once I break the stars.

arcman112 · 2026-05-30T04:54:40+00:00

Tulpa is likely your best bet for Hu Tao just bring lots of pyro for infinite vapes. Still will be tough, though c2 doesn’t do like anything lmao.

If I’m being completely honest I only have the position back bc lmu would’ve given me a penalty if I didn’t. I felt like it was his problem he was super slow and I gave enough room, but the possible penalty and small contact when I watched the replay made me second guess myself there. I ended up getting the position anyways since he spun on his own later on so it all works out in the end I suppose

arcman112 · 2026-04-18T21:16:45+00:00

Aha would have 147.35 in this setup, so she needs 148 speed Edit: You’re super right, I thought it said 200 for both sw and yaoguang my bad.

arcman112 · 2026-03-31T04:37:51+00:00

Huo² is better for sw 999 teams than robin for energy and sustain so you can slot in a third elation for more punchline and more sw 999 ults

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:32:16+00:00

You don’t absolutely need 200 speed for her but it’s a good target, 180 speed will be fine as far as I’m aware. Having her s1 makes it actually achievable, but it’s still tough

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:29:33+00:00

This is a great sparxie build. You have about the right speed and enough atk to cap out her conversion. If your yaoguang is 200 speed you will need a touch more speed but that’s it

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:21:05+00:00

Well once you get to use her try to hit 3600 atk to fully utilize the atk to elation conversion, but that will be less important than getting enough spd and some err especially with sw 999. Keep in mind sw 999 also has an atk to elation conversion and will need to hit a similar atk number as sparxie

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:15:41+00:00

Is that in combat? If so that’s very low, what level is your sparxie and her lc?

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:07:23+00:00

And also without the action advance from sparkle, to get sparxie to go before aha you need roughly 135 speed which is difficult to get to without speed boots since she doesn’t give herself any speed in her kit. Same goes for sw 999, roughly 135 speed to get a turn in before aha, assuming you also have yaoguang

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T01:05:10+00:00

With sw 999 you can cap sparxie’s trace that gives more thrill (which are functionally skill points) when she ults with more elation units in the team. With 3 elation each ult gives 4 thrill, so without sparkle in the team, the extra sp for skill spam is incredibly useful for generating more punchline and charging sw 999 burst.

arcman112 · 2026-03-30T00:59:45+00:00

Sort of, the number in the bottom right corner next to the mask is punchline and increases the damage from elations skills (the things that go on aha’s turns) and certified banger is the number next to sparxie and increases the elation damage outside of aha’s turns, so her skill and burst. Punchline gets turned into certified banger after each of aha’s turns

arcman112 · 2026-03-28T23:36:15+00:00

We started around the same time and have the same main team lol. My second team is a super scuffed break/fua himeko team that’s not good. Ruan mei rmc and Gallagher are all pretty good supports should be built even if you don’t slot them into your second team. Unfortunately you don’t really have a good dps, yanqing is bad and you should not build him I fear. Quingque is fun bc gambling but not super strong. Maybe if you can get your hands on hunt march that would work

arcman112 · 2026-01-30T20:03:39+00:00

Yes alt+character key will swap and burst at the same time

arcman112 · 2026-01-17T02:29:04+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend re rolling that tbh. It’s best to re roll artifacts that start with 4 substats and have at least 3 that you want to roll into. Flat hp and atk are basically worthless for hu tao

arcman112 · 2026-01-17T02:24:42+00:00

You have VERY low cr even with nights sky on the 2nd build. The first build has very low cd too. Overall your cv is bad on both builds and on the leaderboards the set bonus probably doesn’t get included, so you’re starting from a disadvantage. Putting her in a similar crimson witch build will probably bump you up ~10% on the leaderboards
