The second part of Genshin Impact 2.2 Update will bring back Hu Tao’s Event Wish Banner – Moment of Bloom in the game. This Event Banner will not only feature Hu Tao but also the new 4-star Pyro-user character, Thoma. Other 4-star characters, including “Kätzlein Cocktail” Diona (Cryo) and “Mujina Ninja” Sayu, will also receive a substantial drop-rate boost.
Hu Tao was first introduced in Genshin Impact on March 2, 2021. She is the current director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, who manages Liyue’s funerary affairs. Despite her young age, she does her utmost to carry out a person’s last rites. She is intent on preserving and maintaining the world’s balance of yin and young. As a playable character, she is a playable Pyro character who uses a polearm to execute her skills and deal immense damage to her enemies. Check out Hu Tao’s talents and abilities below:
