Hu Tao (Genshin Impact)

==Summary==
Hu Tao is the 77th Director of Wangshen Funeral Parlor.
With a cheerful demeanor and a trick up her sleeve, she can irritate nearly everyone she meets by offering her "early funeral services," blissfully unaware that most people will mark those as death wishes or bad luck. However, despite this seemingly bad behavior, her intentions are pure. She only wishes the best for her people, seeing death as part of a natural occurrence that is best to prepare early on.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:
Pyro Vision: A Vision is a gift from the gods of Teyvat that allows humans to wield elemental powers, turning them into Allogenes. Hu Tao's Vision is Pyro, thus granting her the ability to freely manipulate fire.
*Guide to Afterlife: Hu Tao sacrifices 30% of her HP to enter the Paramita Papilio state. In this state, all her attacks imbued with fire, her Charged Attacks can be executed several times faster, she gains Resistance to most crowd control abilities, and she becomes significantly stronger. Additionally, her charged attacks give enemies the Blood Blossom Effect, which causes every enemy affected to receive Pyro damage every 4 seconds for 8 seconds.
*Spirit Soother: Hu Tao slams a blazing spirit into her enemies, dealing massive Pyro damage. This also heals Hu Tao of a small percentage of her HP. When Hu Tao is under 50% HP, the damage and amount healed by Spirit Soother will be substantially increased.
*Crimson Bouquet: Hu Tao's charged attacks when she is in her Paramita Papilio state will not drain her stamina.
*Ominous Rainfall: Increases Hu Tao's Blood Blossom damage by 10% of her HP. Spirit Soother now afflicts enemies with the Blood Blossom effect.
*Lingering Carmine: Increases the buff amount and Blood Blossom damage of Guide to Afterlife.
*Garden of Eternal Rest: Defeating an enemy that is affected by the Blood Blossom effect increases the crit rate of her allies by 12%. Does not include Hu Tao herself.
*Floral Incense: Increases the damage and healing of Spirit Soother.
*Butterfly's Embrace: Once every 60 seconds, if Hu Tao's HP falls below 25% or if she takes a fatal hit, she can enter this ultimate state. For the next 10s, her Critical Rate, Elemental and Physical Resistance will increase drastically, and she will be highly resistant to interruptions. Hu Tao will not immediately collapse from her severe injuries if she enters the form, which is an added benefit.
