So we finally got a consolidated MV/s Chart for Hu Tao Vape Adjusted MV/s at diff EM breakpoints based on tested Vape uptimes
Hu Tao do BIG single target numbers but numbers can vary heavily based on your input timings
She is very Skill Expressive
Credits in the notes

Also Hu Tao hits VERY high EffAtk to multiply on these MV/s' due to her E slamming atk into her build
Keep in mind she has A LOT of caveats & is the hardest to maximize unit in Genshin
Depending on skill she'll be either below Diluc or above Ganyu
Here's N2CJ frame perfect:

C1 unlocks the ability to do Dash Cancel Combos. If you don't learn these combos then it's a nice QoL buff to not have to worry about Stamina Management
If you DO learn the combos it's the highest DPS increase C1 in Genshin
Here's N1CD frame perfect for reference

All of this aside remember that Hu tao has THE MOST caveats in the game to hitting her ceiling.
-Stamina management
-Single target mostly
-Selfish 9s window
-Awkward 16s rotations
-CA playstyle with targeting issues
-Mechanical input discrepancy
-HP management
-XQ lives with her

Working on script on early testing rn
No timeline on it coming out but Soon™
Tl;DR: She's the exodia of 5 stars
She has caveats/issues from all the top 5 star carries but the highest single target ceiling as well
At least according to early calcs/tests
Grain of salt and all that

Also Zakharov updated his DPS comparison sheet with conservative combo sequences on Hu Tao (can go higher)
Keep in mind this is for her personal 9 second window of power
It is not full team DPS calcs over larger time windows
Team calcs take a lot longer
