Tier S Pyro Main DPS · Polearm

Hu Tao Build Guide

Hu Tao is the #1 single-target Pyro DPS. Her charged attack vapes hit incredibly hard with proper setup.

Rating: 9/10 — top Pyro DPS, slightly reliant on C1 for stamina.

⚡ Why This Build Works

Hu Tao excels as a Main DPS because Single-target Pyro DPS — highest ceiling for single-target damage.. The combination of Crimson Witch of Flames (4pc) with Staff of Homa maximizes their damage output, while the recommended substats (CRIT Rate/DMG > HP% > EM) ensure optimal stat distribution for the current meta.
