Ever since her debut in Genshin Impact\u2019s Update 1.3, players have been desperate to get another shot at Hu Tao. The Liyue funeral parlor Director is one of the most powerful characters in the game, dealing insane critical damage when paired with the Staff of Homa. The 5-star character\u2019s rerun in November, however, has created a major problem in the RPG\u2019s co-op mode as stated in a viral post. According to many players, the heroine\u2019s playstyle gimmick has led some fans to spoil the miHoYo title\u2019s online matchmaking. Is Hu Tao ruining Genshin Impact co-op? Hu Tao is able to execute a mind-blowing amount of damage once her health drops below 50%. Living up to her title of funeral Director, players have to master a playstyle of constantly keeping the heroine on the edge of death to land massive damage to enemies. The unique mechanic has created major problems with the miHoYo RPG\u2019s co-op mode according to the community. In a viral post on the r\/GenshinImpact forum, a user detailed experiencing a wave of players obsessing over landing large critical damage while ignoring the rest of the enemies immune to fire. \u201cWhile co-oping the Crimson Witch domain, I\u2019ve seen a few people bring HuTao into the domain,\u201d they wrote. \u201cThen when the Pyro Slimes come up they do absolutely nothing, no attacking whatsoever. And then they only start attacking with their skill activated for the other 2 waves. They literally just bring Hu Tao to flex. And this has happened multiple times.\u201d The player was not alone in their negative experience, as other fans also detailed running into the same problem in co-op mode since Hu Tao\u2019s rerun launched in Update 2.2. \u201cOne of the reasons I don\u2019t ever co-op unless I\u2019m helping someone. Just makes domains harder,\u201d a player wrote. \u201cIt happened when Hu Tao first came out as well. One of the most annoying (and honestly unbelievable) is when I met a Hu Tao in Crimson Witch who used her E against the Pyro Slimes,\u201d another said. Several fans pointed out that another reason players focused on only landing high damage is to raise the friendship level of their character. \u201cMaybe they\u2019re raising her friendship? That said, it\u2019s pretty sh**ty in random co-op\u201d and \u201cThey want to build up friendship XP faster. I think you get double friendship XP in co-op so it\u2019s sort of two birds, one stone,\u201d two comments read. Based on the many experiences fans posted, this appears to be a much larger issue than Hu Tao. Whenever a new 5-star character is introduced or a rerun event happens, players are using co-op to quickly raise friendship levels up. At the time of writing, miHoYo has yet to respond to the backlash. Only time will tell if they ever address it. As a precaution, it\u2019s probably best to avoid the online mode until a few weeks after the banner refresh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genshin Impact players furious over Hu Tao \u201cbreaking\u201d co-op mode miHoYoAfter making her return to Genshin Impact in November 2021, players are complaining that Hu Tao is \u2018ruining\u2019 the miHoYo\u2019s RPG\u2019s co-op mode.
