Hu Tao mainly scales off HP , because her Elemental Skill converts Max HP into bonus ATK, which is why HP-focused builds are so strong on her. She also still benefits a lot from CRIT, Pyro DMG Bonus, and Elemental Mastery for damage, while ATK is less important than usual but not completely useless.

How her scaling works

  • HP: Her skill turns Max HP into ATK, so more HP usually means more damage.
  • CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG: These scale her damage like any DPS character.
  • Pyro DMG Bonus: Boosts her Pyro attacks and Burst damage.
  • Elemental Mastery: Helps a lot if you’re Vaporizing her charged attacks.
  • ATK: Still matters indirectly, but HP is usually the better stat to stack for her skill-based damage.

Practical build focus

A typical Hu Tao build prioritizes:

  1. HP or EM sands depending on team and weapon.
  2. Pyro DMG goblet.
  3. CRIT circlet.

Simple takeaway

If you want the shortest answer: Hu Tao scales primarily with HP, then CRIT stats, and often EM for reaction damage.
