Name cards in Genshin Impact are certain events or character themed backgrounds that improve the aesthetics of the Paimon menu, Friend list, and Co-op menu. Every character has its own themed name card before release, which can be obtained by reaching friendship level 10 with the character.

The 1.3 update has added Hu Tao's name card into the game, which can be redeemed by reaching friendship level 10.

Hu Tao's Namecard

Hu Tao is an upcoming character in Genshin Impact who hails from Liyue with a Pyro vision. She wields a polearm and deals pyro elemental damage along with physical damage. In the game story, she will be known as the 77th director of the Wangsheng funeral parlor.

Hu Tao's elemental skill, burst, and combat abilities were leaked on social media a while ago, resulting in a huge hype train for her banner. Although the officials have not spoken about any estimated time of her arrival, fans have started digging the internet to gather as much information a possible.

With the recent "All that glitters" patch, Genshin Impact has confirmed a mysterious banner coming shortly after the Keqing banner during the 1.3 version. Hu Tao's preferred polearm "Staff of Homa" will also be a part of the "Epitome Invocation" banner from 23rd February to 16th March. That also confirms the release of Hu Tao in early March.
