{% tab title="Guide to Afterlife" %}
Only an unwavering flame can cleanse the impurities of this world.\
Hu Tao consumes a set portion of her HP to knock the surrounding enemies back and enter the Paramita Papilio state.

**Paramita Papilio**\
• Increases Hu Tao's ATK based on her Max HP at the time of entering this state. ATK Bonus gained this way cannot exceed 400% of Hu Tao's Base ATK.\
• Converts attack DMG to Pyro DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion.\
• Charged Attacks apply the **Blood Blossom** effect to the enemies hit. • Increases Hu Tao's resistance to interruption.

**Blood Blossom**\
Enemies affected by **Blood Blossom** will take Pyro DMG every 4s. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.\
Each enemy can be affected by only one **Blood Blossom** effect at a time, and its duration may only be refreshed by Hu Tao herself.

**Paramita Papilio** ends when its duration is over, or Hu Tao has left the battlefield or fallen.

**Notes**

* The **Paramita Papilio** state does not affect Poise Damage or Impulse Type of the Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks.
* Blood Blossom tick rate is effected by hitlag. (+1s)
* Elemental Particles are generated by Pyro-infused Normal and Charged Attacks during **Paramita Papilio**.
  * There is a 5-second ICD between instances of Particle production.
  * Meaning, ideally Hu Tao will generate particles twice while infused
  * Plunging Attacks do not generate Particles.
* Paramita Papilio can be extended with hitlag.
* When entering Paramita Papilio the knockback will cause the Illusory Bubble from Mona's Stellaris Phantasm to be removed and the Omen debuff applied even though no damage was done.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Spirit Soother" %}
Hu Tao commands a blazing spirit to attack, dealing Pyro DMG in a large AoE.

* Upon striking the enemy, regenerates a percentage of Hu Tao's Max HP. This effect can be triggered up to 5 times, based on the number of enemies hit.
* If Hu Tao's HP is below or equal to 50% when the enemy is hit, both the DMG and the HP Regeneration are increased.
