Skill

Guide to Afterlife

Only an unwavering flame can cleanse the impurities of this world.
Hu Tao consumes a set portion of her HP to knock the surrounding enemies back and enter the Paramita Papilio state.

Paramita Papilio

• Increases Hu Tao's ATK based on her Max HP at the time of entering this state. ATK Bonus gained this way cannot exceed 400% of Hu Tao's Base ATK.
• Converts attack DMG to Pyro DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion.
• Charged Attacks apply the Blood Blossom effect to the enemies hit.
• Increases Hu Tao's resistance to interruption.

Attribute	Paramita Papilio
ATK Increase (T9%)	5.96% Max HP
Activation Cost	30% Current HP
Particles	2~3 (3:2)
Infusion Element	Pyro
Duration	9s
Cooldown	16s
Casting Poise Damage	120
Casting Impulse Type	3

Blood Blossom
Enemies affected by Blood Blossom will take Pyro DMG every 4s. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
Each enemy can be affected by only one Blood Blossom effect at a time, and its duration may only be refreshed by Hu Tao herself.

Paramita Papilio ends when its duration is over, or Hu Tao has left the battlefield or fallen.

Attribute	Blood Blossom
Blood Blossom DMG (T9%)	108.8%
GU	1U
ICD	Standard
Snapshot	Dynamic
Damage Element	Pyro
Damage Type	Skill
Duration	8s
Poise Damage	0
Impulse Type	1

Notes

• The Paramita Papilio state does not affect Poise Damage or Impulse Type of the Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks.
• Blood Blossom tick rate is effected by hitlag. (+1s)
• Elemental Particles are generated by Pyro-infused Normal and Charged Attacks during Paramita Papilio.
  • There is a 5-second ICD between instances of Particle production.
  • Meaning, ideally Hu Tao will generate Particles twice while infused
  • Plunging Attacks do not generate Particles.
• Paramita Papilio can be extended with hitlag.
• When entering Paramita Papilio the knockback will cause the Illusory Bubble from Mona's Stellaris Phantasm to be removed and the Omen debuff applied even though no damage was done.
• Hu Tao's Elemental Skill activation is a 0 DMG hit that isn't counted as Skill DMG, therefore it cannot proc effects that require a Skill DMG hit such as 4pc Tenacity of the Millileth and 4pc Deepwood Memories set effects.
