OneGenshin Impactfan posted a short clip on Twitter which gives a snapshot of Hu Tao’s unique dash ability. Since the user is known for leaking information for the title, the video looks to be legitimate. While dashing is not that rare, Hu Tao’s is special because it allows her to become invisible and pass through an enemy. She then reappears behind the target, revealing a quick maneuver that can be used to bounce around enemies at will.
For those interested in the potential of this ability, Lumie posted more details about its limits. Supposedly, it can not remain activated permanently, or even for a long period of time. It only triggers for a short moment while Hu Tao passes through a target or moves forward. She then becomes visible again, which means that this feature will not be able to keep her safe from attacks indefinitely. However, it should go well with some of the otherabilities leaked for Hu Tao’s kit.
Extra heroes is usually an exciting prospect forGenshin Impact, since part of the appeal is building a strong team. No doubt players will be wonderinghow to get Wishesnonstop when Hu Tao eventually comes to the game. The special dash looks like it could be fun for those interested in an agile playstyle. Though, from the leak it is hard to tell whether or not it will be that helpful in the heat of combat. And with no official confirmation at this time, there is a chance that the feature may not make it into the full game.
While Hu Tao should get fans hopping in to play, currently there is no stated release date. Therefore, players could be waiting a while before the new character even becomes available to play. That said, miHoYo did imply thatheroes might be coming during the 1.3update forGenshin Impact. In that case, it could be a close as early March when the upcoming banner comes to the game. For now, players will just need to plan their team compositions for Hu Tao.
Genshin Impactis available now on Mobile, PC, and PS4, and is in development for PS5 and Switch.
