Hu Tao's pull value in Genshin Impact 5.1

Hu Tao is a 5-star character who used to be the best Pyro DPS unit at one point. She excels in single-target situations, thanks to her Charged Attacks, which are also the main source of her damage. Additionally, she can deal AoE nuke damage from her Elemental Burst while healing herself.

Hu Tao's overall damage output is pretty high, and she can defeat most enemies very quickly, which makes her good against multiple enemies too. Additionally, she is pretty easy to build. Hu Tao has many good artifact options, and they're all available in the Artifact Strongbox. Moreover, she has several good 4-star and F2P weapon options like Dragon's Bane and White Tassel.

However, Hu Tao doesn't come without cons. As mentioned, she relies on her Charged Attacks for most of her damage. Furthermore, due to her unique playstyle and kit, she must always have her HP below 50% and you must master her "jump cancel" technique at C0. This will allow Hu Tao to spend less stamina after using a Charged Attack and you can get the best out of her.

Is Hu Tao worth getting in Genshin Impact 5.1?

Yes, Hu Tao is still worth pulling in Genshin Impact 5.1. Arlecchino may have dethroned her as the best Pyro DPS, but that doesn't mean Hu Tao has become less potent than she was before. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor director can still clear a lot of content easily, including the Spiral Abyss, so she is definitely a great choice if you need a good DPS unit.

That said, mastering Hu Tao's "jump cancel" playstyle at C0 is easier said than done since it can be quite tricky and you must have good situational awareness. Therefore, getting her may not be ideal unless you're willing to learn the "jump cancel" technique or pull her C1.
