Hu Tao is one of the most, if not the most, famous Genshin Impact characters and she’s finally getting another rerun in Version 3.4 of Genshin Impact. Strangely, however, many players are saying she’s not worth it anymore or that her value’s dropped in the era of Dendro which isn’t true and we’ll tell you why.
Hu Tao’s Value in the Dendro Meta of Genshin Impact 3.4
Hu Tao is up there as one of the strongest DPS units in the game and when it comes to single-target scenarios she’s definitely the strongest. Her value comes from her fast Pyro application. With a unit like Xingqiu who can apply Hydro just as fast, you get consistent Vaporise reactions that have a huge multiplier- thus giving you those sweet big numbers.
In the Dendro meta, however, other units and reactions have been added that help you get out of the cage of Melt and Vaporise reactions which were famous for their high multipliers and damage. As such you can now build Burgeon, Hyperbloom or even Quicken teams that can keep up with the damage numbers of Hu Tao teams. And a majority of these new teams are more F2P-friendly and require much less investment and skill to play.
This is where Hu Tao stumbles. Hu Tao is a complete unit at C0 and though she dishes out high damage numbers even with low investment, she does get better the more you work for her kit. That is to say that, unlike the new Dendro teams, her DPS ceiling is still higher- which is why we said the Dendro teams could keep up but they can never outright surpass Hu Tao’s DPS teams.
