Hu Tao has been in Genshin Impact for a while now as one of the game’s more desired Pyro DPS characters, and she will make a return in Version 3.4. For those who do not have Hu Tao but plan on pulling for her, it’s good to start farming for her ascension materials now. Fortunately, since she debuted in 2021, even newer players should be able to access everything she needs.
Here are the Ascension Materials and Mora to set aside for Hu Tao:
Ascension 1:
- 20,000 Mora
- 1 Agnidus Agate Sliver
- 3 Silk Flowers
- 3 Whopperflower Nectars
Ascension 2:
- 40,000 Mora
- 3 Agnidus Agate Fragments
- 10 Silk Flowers
- 15 Whopperflower nectars
- 2 Juvenile Jades
Ascension 3:
- 60,000 Mora
- 6 Agnidus Agate Fragments
- 20 Silk Flowers
- 12 Shimmering Nectars
- 4 Juvenile Jades
Ascension 4:
- 80,000 Mora
- 3 Agnidus Agate Chunks
- 30 Silk Flowers
- 18 Shimmering Nectars
- 8 Juvenile Jades
Ascension 5:
- 100,000 Mora
- 6 Agnidus Agate Chunks
- 45 Silk Flowers
- 12 Shimmering Nectars
- 12 Juvenile Jades
Ascension 6:
- 120,000 Mora
- 6 Agnidus Agate Gemstones
- 60 Silk Flowers
- 24 Shimmering Nectars
- 20 Juvenile Jades
You can get Silk Flowers in Liyue Harbor and around Wangshu Inn. Also, you can farm Juvenile Jades from the Primo Geovishap, which is in the Minlin area of Liyue. In total, you will need 420,000 Mora, 46 Juvenile Jades, and 168 Silk Flowers. This is on top of the Agnidus Agate materials and Whopperflower materials.
As for Hu Tao’s Talents, she takes Diligence books. You can farm Diligence from Taishan Mansion on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Her Weekly Boss drop is Shard of a Foul Legacy, which you can get from Childe. Childe is in Liyue, just like all the other Ascension Materials Hu Tao takes.
To fully level up a single Talent, Hu Tao needs:
- 1,652,500 Mora
- 3 Teachings of Diligence
- 21 Guides to Diligence
- 38 Philosophies of Diligence
- 6 Whopperflower Nectars
- 22 Shimmering Nectars
- 31 Energy Nectars
- 6 Shard of a Foul Legacy
- 1 Crown of Insight
While you do not need to push her all the way to Level 90, I do recommend fully Ascending Hu Tao. This is because her special stat when leveling up is her Crit DMG. A lot of Hu Tao’s usefulness comes from her Charged Attack and the nuke DMG from her Burst. So having a high natural Crit DMG is beneficial.
Genshin Impact is readily available PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Hu Tao is a limited 5-star character, so you cannot always pull for her unless she is on a re-run banner.
