We don’t have an official name or rarity of the new leaked weapons. But, we do have details on the weapon’s ability – and it turns out, Hu Tao’s new polearm weapon raises the HP by 20%, and with each 1% loss in HP, players gain a 1% ATK DMG bonus.
For now, we are calling it Hu Tao’s weapon because firstly, she was holding the polearm, secondly, the stats of the weapon(abilities) makes it the best weapon for her(at least for now).
