Hu Tao Jump Cancel vs Normal Combos | Genshin Impact

[@siddhantroy8969]

Bruh...i was practicing jump cancels and while doing that...my hu tao was also doing plunging atks💀

[@bennettsoo5021]

No more hu tao now xiao tao

[@humz3963]

really helps especially since hu tao is coming out soon! just wanted to say the numbers aren't as big because ur above 50% hp so the damage wouldnt be as good

[@KagamiSama]

I'm happy it's helpful! Yup, I kept her above 50% hp because otherwise she would sometimes push Maguu Kenki into his 2nd phase before finishing her combo, lol. xD

[@Monster-cw7fi]

I love your editing style.

[@KagamiSama]

Thanks! This is my first time making this type of video. It's encouraging to hear you like it!

[@naratheweirdo]

sadly i couldnt get her c1 due to qiqi having to show up TWICE but hopefully i can still get as much dmg as possible. ty for the guide!

[@KagamiSama]

Oof, that's rough. She's still good at C0, though! Hope you have fun playing her!

[@monicahaiy6150]

Omg I kept losing as well but at least got her and the homa just lost a lot of all my saved primos for it tho. Didn’t get lucky.

[@SolSaR0903]

same here man

[@jackfalcon3923]

Thanks for video. I thought there's more value that this mechanic bring. For me 12.5÷ isn't a big deal

[@monicahaiy6150]

Thank you for my first hu tao and homa this is very helpful

[@KagamiSama]

Gratz on getting hu tao and homa! 👍

@@KagamiSama thank you! now farming her artifacts will be the only pain xD

[@bletwort2920]

I got her today. Never did any animation cancelling thing with any of my characters as I never needed it. So I will have to learn from scratch. Is it worth it to learn? For reference she’s C0 with dragons bane. In Double Hydro with Xingqiu C6 and Yelan C0R1. I am not sure if a small DPS increase on Hu Tao will be worth it. So I am looking for your opinion.

[@KagamiSama]

It's not necessary. If you enjoy doing it, the increase in damage is nice to have. But if you hate doing it, or you're happy with her damage without animation cancelling, you don't have to force yourself to do it. While performing good animation cancelling will give you a nice bump in damage, poor animation cancelling can actually hurt your damage compared to regular charged attacks (e.g. if you jump too early and don't actually perform the charge attack). I think it's satisfying when you pull it off, but I know a lot of people find it a pain to do. In the end, just play her in whatever way brings you the most joy. Damage numbers aren't everything! :)

[@aminulhussain2277]

It's very little effort for the amount of damage you gain.

[@skyacaniadev2229]

Spam normal attack is the worst, you basically get a Diluc level dps. The differences among those various canceling techniques are small tho, n2cj is probably the best for c0 hutao.

[@skyacaniadev2229]

Also, what this video didn’t mention is the vaporize count. Normal attack has internal cooldown on elemental reaction, combined with the much smaller attack ratio, making normal attack dps only a fraction of those techniques in this video. Spam heavy attack should be fine if you want to be lazy.

[@michaelyang838]

Could you please give me some advice on dash cancels on c1? i find that I'm facing the wrong way often and have to "turn the character" in order to hit them and that wastes time

[@KagamiSama]

Usually you want to dash in the opposite direction of where you are attacking, so that once you pass through the enemy, your dash takes you back to the enemy. Edit: For example, if the enemy is to the right, charge attack through the enemy, then hit dash, then press left as you're dashing so you move back to the enemy during your dash.

[@michaelyang838]

@@KagamiSama right so the problem I have is that if I charge forward and dash backwards, I need to press w again to turn around and face the boss

[@KagamiSama]

@@michaelyang838 Oh, in that case I suppose you could turn around at the end of the dash to face the enemy. Or delay hitting backwards during your dash so half your dash is forwards and half of it is backwards. But also, even if you are facing away from the enemy, Hu Tao's charge attack should automatically target the closest enemy without you having to turn to face them yourself unless you're really far away.

[@buttercup86900]

I just got c0 hu tao but im confused on how to jump/dash cancel. Please can you explain to me step by step?

[@KagamiSama]

The steps are really simple, but the timing is tricky. 1. Hold down mouse button. This will make Hu Tao do her charge attack. 2. As soon as her charge attack hits the enemy, press space to jump to cancel the rest of the charge attack animation. If you are right next to an enemy, the jump cancel happens immediately after you start the charge attack. Visually you'll see the tip of her spear *just barely* appear in front of her. Some people also listen for the sound of her charge attack as an audio cue. Getting the timing down isn't easy. If you do it too early, you completely cancel her charge attack. If you do it too late, she'll still end up far away from the enemy. This is definitely a "practice makes perfect" kind of thing. Some things to look out for: - Hu Tao's attack animations are a lot faster when she's in her E (skill) state. So if you want to practice jump cancels, do it while she's in her E state. - Make sure you're not holding down a directional button when you jump, otherwise you'll end up jumping in that direction rather than straight up. For dash cancels, you dash instead of jump to cancel the animation. You also need to control the direction of the dash so that you end up back at the enemy, which means you generally want to dash in the opposite direction of your charge attack. Congrats on getting Hu Tao! I hope you have fun with her! Don't worry if you can't get the timing down right away. It's not easy, but you'll get a better feel for it with time.

@@KagamiSama thanks :) but I'm on mobile. Please can u tell me how in mobile?

[@KagamiSama]

@@buttercup86900 Oh, I don't play on mobile, but I assume that instead of holding down the mouse button, you'd press and hold the attack button to charge attack, and instead of space, you'd tap the jump button.

[@buttercup86900]

@@KagamiSama thanks I'll try and practise it

[@kingzeza6344]

​@@buttercup86900Also small tip:If your CA doesn't register after doing jump cancel,wait for hu tao to land on the ground before long pressing NA This happens alot for beginners Hope it helps

[@GabeHowardd]

which is better? c1 hu tao or a new character?

[@KagamiSama]

I'd say new character because that gives you more options in terms of teams and playstyles. However, if I had to choose 1 constellation to pull for in the game, it would be Hu Tao's C1. It's one of the few constellations that actually change your playstyle rather than just give you bigger numbers. And it's a C1, unlike something like Ganyu's C6 which also changes your playstyle, but... it's a C6...

[@GabeHowardd]

@@KagamiSama I'll be saving for Kokomi then! She will be fantastic in my hyperbloom comp

[@Ashiyaphoenix]

It is hard to do so using the controller?

[@KagamiSama]

I don't play on controller, so I can't say. But I imagine it's not that different from mouse and keyboard. The main thing is getting the timing down.

How to work mobile

[@KagamiSama]

Sorry, I don't play on mobile so I can't say.

[@scarlet2457]

Ty so much cuz I'm kinda having some trouble controlling her charge attack sometimes I kinda miss or go a bit too far🥲🖐️

[@KagamiSama]

Thanks for the comment! Hu tao's combos aren't easy. I've been playing her for a year and I still mess up a lot. 😅 It takes practice for sure. But I love her character, so it's worth it. Good luck! 😊👍

[@HKKK33]

Still struggling to get her burst back on shimenawa set🥲

[@KagamiSama]

Yeah, Shimenawa can be rough sometimes. I know it's annoying to farm, but Crimson Witch is a nice upgrade if you can get a good set!
