Hu Tao's Secret Spear technique is based on several rules, the first of which is: "The spear opens the path to the afterlife, and the butterflies bridge this world and the next."

Guide to Afterlife is Hu Tao's Elemental Skill.

Gameplay Notes[]

  • When a converted attack hits at least one enemy, it generates 2.5 Elemental Particles.
    • This particle generation has a cooldown of ~5 seconds.
    • Therefore, it can generate a total of 4–6 Elemental Particles through its whole duration.
    • Converted Plunging Attacks do not generate particles.
  • While the Paramita Papilio state is active, Hu Tao does not step back before charging forward. This makes her Charged Attacks under this state faster and travel further from her starting position.
  • This skill's activation produces a damageless 0U Pyro attack around Hu Tao.
  • No HP will be consumed if Hu Tao has exactly 1 HP left when activating the skill.
  • The Paramita Papilio State does not expire during the animation of a Charged Attack.
