After unlocking the Talent “Flutter By”, ending Paramita Papilio increases the CRIT Rate of all of Hu Tao’s party members other than herself for a set duration.

Hu Tao Passive Talents
Unlock 2 more passive talents for Hu Tao on her first and fourth ascension phase.
 The More the Merrier |
|---|
| When Hu Tao cooks a dish perfectly, she has a 18% chance to receive an additional “Suspicious” dish of the same type. |
 Flutter By |

 Sanguine Rouge |
| When Hu Tao’s HP is equal to or less than 50%, her Pyro DMG Bonus is increased by 33%. |
The first thing you should understand in order to take full advantage of Hu Tao’s power would be her playstyle.
Unlike any other character, her full potential lies within a very specific objective and that is by keeping her health below 50% as long as possible which is heavily influenced by several different factors with the most important one being her passive talent that provides Hu Tao with sizeable pyro DMG bonus.
This is a very crucial thing you will need to manage because her elemental skill will infuse her attacks with Pyro and getting that bonus from the mentioned passive on top of every attack is something you should strive for all the time.
