Talents[]

Icon	Name	Type
	Secret Spear of Wangsheng	Normal Attack
Normal Attack Performs up to 6 consecutive spear strikes. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
	Guide to Afterlife	Elemental Skill

Each enemy can be affected by only one Blood Blossom effect at a time, and its duration may only be refreshed by Hu Tao herself. Paramita Papilio ends when its duration is over, or Hu Tao has left the battlefield or fallen.
	Spirit Soother	Elemental Burst
Commands a blazing spirit to attack, dealing Pyro DMG in a large AoE. Upon striking the enemy, regenerates a percentage of Hu Tao's Max HP.

Gameplay Notes[]

Hu Tao has a unique sprint that allows her to briefly pass through smaller enemies. This only applies to the initial sprint and does not apply to the continuous run.
