Genshin Impact players like to keep their eyes on the future of the game, which means interest in Hu Tao is starting to grow. She is predicted to arrive in the game sometime during 1.3, potentially as the Banner character after Xiao arrives.
While information is currently pretty thin, we will be using this article to keep track of everything that is revealed about Hu Tao, either through leaks or official announcements from miYoHo.
Lore wise, we know that Hu Tao is the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue, and she keeps burying Qiqi and something of a prankster. She is a Pyro character that fights with a Polearm.
Remember, everything in this guide is drawn from test server leaks, so is subject to change.

- Butterfly’s Embrace: Triggers when Hu Tao’s HP drops below 25%, or when she suffers a lethal strike: Hu Tao will not fall as a result of the DMG sustained. Additionally, for the next 10s, all of her Elemental and Physical RES is increased by 200%, her CRIT Rate is increased by 100%, and her resistance to interruption is greatly increased. This effect triggers automatically when Hu Tao has 1 HP left. Can only occur once every 60s.
