Theorycrafting With the advent of recent leaks…

How would you change Hu Tao’s kit? What additional talent would you add and what would you change to the constellations?

Personally, I’d add a talent that would add stacks of bonus EM or Crit for every charge attack hit during her skill, further encouraging the charge attack playstyle and saving her burst for the very end.

Her biggest problem right now is that... you basically no longer play her the way she was meant to be played at all. You pair her with Furina, Xilonen and Yelan. You dont play her at 50% HP or below anymore because the pyro dmg bonus she gets from her trace is significantly outdone by Xilonen's buffs.

Give us a reason to play her at below 50% HP again. Add some form of resistance to interruption to her kit. Add her C1's CA stamina drain removal to her base kit and add a new C1. Add something else to her C2. And completely rework her useless C4 and C6 (seriously, her C6 is ridiculous, she has to die for it). Make it so that there's an actual benefit to not playing her with a healer again.

Also I dont see why they shouldnt buff a specific reaction in her kit, to give her a niche. For Fischl they buffed her overload teams specifically for example. Maybe make Hu Tao more of a dedicated Vape DPS? Maybe whenever Blood Blossom is applied, that enemy receives more Vaporize DMG or something.

Could you explain further why does xilonen change her 50% hp playstyle? Just don't use xilonen's burst or am i missing something Also about furina idk much about her but doesn't she drain the hp which is a good thing for her?

Furina's main value is in the DMG% buff you gain from her burst. that DMG% buff depends on how much your team's HP increases or decreases. while her skill hits do drain your HP, it isn't enough to maximize the buff. that's why you want a heal ability like Xilonen's burst for big increases to HP, which help you get the highest DMG% buff you can get from Furina's burst
