Overview
Hu Tao spends HP to power a limited Pyro Charged-Attack window. Set up teammates first, then stay active; low-HP bonuses are useful only when she can survive incoming damage.
Role
HP-to-ATK Pyro Charged attacker
Playstyle
Set up support first, then use her limited Skill window for attacks and Charged hits without switching out.
Why It Works
The Skill converts Max HP into ATK with a Base-ATK-related cap.
Watch For
Leaving the field ends the Skill state; damage bonuses are not a reason to ignore lethal incoming damage.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Hydro and protection → Skill → Normal into Charged loops → jump/dash cancel → Burst for damage or recovery.
Key Notes
Low HP enhances Pyro damage and the Burst, but healing and survival still matter.
C0 jump cancels conserve Stamina; C1 enables easier dash cancels.
Activate Hydro before the Skill.
Shimenawa can delay access to Burst healing.
