In addition to this, Hu Tao will get a story mission that will be activated at the same time, and it will be permanently unlocked and available if he has reached adventure rank 40 or higher. A few days later, on March 5, there will be a new Dragon Invasion event, which may be one of the last in this patch.
Hu Tao’s banner will be like the last two banners, Xiao and Keqing, and it will run for two weeks as we are moving away from the three-week rotations that we saw for many months before this. I’m not sure if this is better for me or for the players. More banners means more chances on different heroes, but a shorter time means more limited availability and less time to shred Prime Gems during that period. Although there is a pretty strict limit on how many you can get, anyway. All things considered, I think it’s probably… better? I prefer to have more banners more often I think, especially if they are starting to bring back old featured characters like Venti, which they will do in the next patch.

As we learned yesterday, Hu Tao is a pyro DPS hero, combining elements from Xiao’s kit, where she sacrifices health to deal elemental damage, and Childe, where she activates an elemental damage mode that lasts for a period of time and marks enemies for Constant DoT. She’ll be a good addition to a team, although if you’ve just landed Xiao, it feels like she could fill the same role, and she’s certainly not a supporting character, that’s for sure.
Anyway, see you next Tuesday.
