Genshin Impact: 5 best weapons for Hu Tao
Since Hu Tao’s debut in Genshin Impact, HoYoverse’s open-world RPG has received a variety of weapons, including spears, varying in cost and rarity. Check out which are the best options for Hu Tao below.
1 – White Tassel (White Tassel)
Even though it has 3 stars, the White Tassel is one of the best free weapons Hu Tao can use in Genshin Impact. Even though it has a lower base ATK than 4 and 5 star weapons, it is enough to be a good DPS weapon.
The White Tassel gives a CRIT rate of up to 23.4% on ascension. In addition, it has a passive effect that increases normal attack DMG by 48% at its highest refinement.
2 – Dragon’s Bane (Dragon’s Bane)
The Dragon’s Bane is one of the best 4-star free weapons for many characters in Genshin Impact. Based on Elemental Mastery, it scales very well to Piro elemental reaction teams.
Dragon’s Bane Spear grants Elemental Mastery up to 2221. In addition, the weapon provides a passive effect that increases DMG against opponents affected by Hydro and Pyrus by 20/24/28/32/36%, depending on refinement. This spear is effective on teams with Yelan or Xingqiu.
3 – Deathmatch (Duel Spear)
You can only get Dueling Spear by purchasing the Gnostic Hymn in the Battle Pass. This weapon has increased ATK% and Defense, as well as increased CRIT. With 4 stars, this is a great choice for Hu Tao.
Duel Spear gives up to 36.8% CRIT rate. Its passive effect grants a 16% increase in ATK and Defense, increasing significantly with each refine.
4 – Staff of the Scarlet Sand
The Crimson Sands Staff was released in Genshin Impact Update 3.1 and is one of the few 5-star weapons that provides a CRIT sub-stat.
With a CRITP rate of 44.1%, the Staff of the Scarlet Sands is the second best weapon after Hu Tao’s BiS. The Staff of the Scarlet Sands also gives 52% of Hu Tao’s Elemental Mastery as a bonus ATK. The spear also provides an extra 28% ATH bonus when an elemental skill hits an opponent.
5 – Staff of Homa
The Staff of Homa is the best weapon for Hu Tao and also the best spear for many characters. It gives a CRIT Rate buff of up to 66.2%, in addition to increasing the character’s HP by 20%. Its passive effect increases ATK based on your maximum HP. When the character’s HP is below 50%, the ATK bonus is increased by 1% of the maximum HP.
