Pyro
PolearmHu Tao is a 5-star Pyro character whose role is that of the Main DPS, and I highly recommend her as she delivers incredible damage. In my unbiased opinion (even though she's my favorite character, I promise to be objective), she is undoubtedly one of the best Pyro Main DPS characters in the game.
She's unique in several ways since her damage primarily scales with the HP stat (unlike most DPS characters that scale with Attack), and she excels in dealing significant damage through her Charged Attacks, especially when creating Vaporize reactions (Elemental Mastery is another crucial stat). This is enhanced by the potent effect of her Elemental Skill.
However, you need to be cautious with her, as activating her Elemental Skill results in a substantial loss of health. Fortunately, she can heal herself with her Elemental Burst. Hu Tao embodies a constant dance between life and death (given her profession at a funeral parlor), and she thrives on having low health, not maximum health (if you want to increase anything, it's her actual health pool).
As a devoted Hu Tao fan, I must emphasize the importance of obtaining her first constellation (C1). Without C1, her performance is not the same. This is because without C1, you won't be able to consistently perform Charged Attacks during her rotation, resulting in a significant loss of damage.

Hu Tao Main DPS
We'll seek to maximize Hu Tao's damage (which isn't exactly small) looking for the best stats for the character and her best team compositions. Remember that Hu Tao does not benefit practically nothing from the Attack %.
