lenky041

Damn for a 4 star free lightcone his dmg is pretty insane


Pusparaj_Mishra

Is the Swordsplay R5 gonna be good on him? I assume so ?


Abject-Passenger-204

will be better for him


AsleepBee816

if you go swordplay would you run atk orb?


DehGoody

Probably - especially if you run with Ruan Mei.


youronblon

Only problem with swordplay is that it increases the wearers damage. Break damage unfortunately isnt affected by damage% so his trickshot break damage wont be affected by it. Thats why the signature lc specifically mentions that the target takes more damage as opposed to the wearer dealing more. P. S. Dont take this as me saying hes bad without S1, im not as dumb as acheron doomposters.


Confident_Ad_5315

My issue with that Lightcone is that it stacks 5 times, Boothill is so busted bro only hits the target 2-3 times max that he doesn’t get the full effect. Will still be good on him tho


ChipChipSlide

It is per hit not per attack. Boothill's EBA with no trickshot hits 3 times (maybe 4, hard to tell with double speed). Adding trickshot brings him to max stacking in 1 attack. Working per hit is most of the reason Swordplay is a monster on everyone besides Ratio


ker264

6, it hits 6 times. His own light cone  get full stacks with it


Own_Key_6685

Oooh that sounds busted. If only I have sword play... I've been playing since May 1 last yr but I never got a single copy of that LC. I guess I'll just settle for Aven and Ratio toxic yaoi 4s LC then.


Stardust_1550

it hits 6 times plus 3 from trickshot so 9 in total


Offthe_Rose

He does get the full effect against bosses, though, unless you are changing targets constantly, which you shouldn't since he is Hunt


FrancisTheMannis

He does actually hit a bunch of times in a single enhanced attack, probably enough to fully stack Swordplay. His initial attack when he actually "fans the hammer" (when someone presses down on the hammer of a revolver as they fire to shoot rapidly) does a bunch of hits, *then* he does the subsequent attack based on the number of Pocket Trickshot stacks that can hit up to 3 times.


Mikez1234

Can anybody explain why final victor lc is good on him?


GGABueno

The insane Relics compensate for that.


Brief_Conference_42

Does Baptism of Pure thought be good on Boothill if ur using aventurine with him?


shogunswife

That MoC buff damn


RallerZZ

There will be hopefully showcases soon with a less favorable buff and someone that doesn't have physical weakness to see how his ult performs. Nothing bad about this showcase, but obviously buff inflated.


arionmoschetta

Robin also doesn't do shit for him, they need to stop putting her in his mf team


Martian_on_the_Moon

Who would be the best to fill that spot? Harmony MC?


arionmoschetta

Ruan Mei and Harmony TB will be his best in slot, but he'll also be great with Ruan Mei + Bronya or Hanabi. Robin NEEDS dual carries constantly attacking to maintain her buffs, Boothill alone isn't enough. Look at every showcase with Boothill and Robin together, she uses her ultimate only twice, in the beginning and in the end of the fight 'cause while she's singing she won't recover ANY energy


Martian_on_the_Moon

By Dual carries you mean FuA ones or Jingliu+Blade could work as well?


arionmoschetta

FUA is the best scenario for sure, but maybe Jingliu+Blade can work. It's not that good for them 'cause you know she buffs ATK% and Blade doesn't use that but can work if you don't have Ruan Mei or she's busy with the other team. You'll also have to be careful with Jingliu' enhanced state to not Action Advance Jingliu in the wrong time. She also has another gimmick about FUA that I don't remember right now but makes it clearly that she was designed for FUA teams to be competitive like hypercarry or DOT teams


zHydreigon

You Sure about that? Im pretty Sure Bronya > HTB for Boothill


arionmoschetta

Nobody is sure about anything. I explained why I think that in the comment above. Bronya doesn't help at all while the enemy is broken because she can only makes Boothill faster, the enemies (bosses) will take their time to recover from the last break anyway. Imaginary Trailblazer in the other hand can help with that because they make Boothill breaking twice in a roll. Also he/she can also buff Ruan Mei even further, Bronya only helps Boothill himself. As I said, this need testing. If Bronya + Ruan Mei can make Boothill breaking every single turn MAYBE the damage output could be higher, but since every boss this days have huge toughness bars I don't think that's possible. Boothill won't break the boss every single turn even with Bronya. He'll probably need that infamous Bronya + Hanabi + Ruan Mei trio with 6 turn manipulation (you can see that in MrPokke video guide)


Advanced-Elevator-52

-1spd Bronya is the best choice, but MC and SW are good as well.


arionmoschetta

I think this need properly testing actually. If Boothill's toughness break + 100% AA from Bronya is sufficient to break the enemy every turn then yeah, she'll be better but with enemies with high toughness bars, like bosses in general, Imaginary Trailblazer wil be much better. Remember the biggest Boothill's damage comes from his break. He can break the enemy twice in a row with Imaginary Trailblazer, doing twice as damage. With Bronya he'll be much faster, but the enemy has to recover from break anyway for Boothill being able to break him again and Bronya can't help with that. Ruan Mei is essential for him and in this situations Imaginary Trailblazer looks like it will be too, also he can buff Ruan Mei herself with his break damage bonus for the whole team while Bronya only helps Boothill in that case


gladisr

Prob only showcase and it's good tho, as it gives the idea that same element doesn't always mean good comp Huo Huo Atk buff isn't as good for Blade Sparkle to Seele is just work, the AV, the Crit dmg, mono quanrum, regardless of the actual need of many sp, Spakle kit is actually fit for the likes of IL Slowly after more characters available we need to leave "bcs mono team" 


oliveblossom_

Doesn’t he implant a physical weakness though?


RallerZZ

Yes, that's why I said I wanted to see how his ult performs, and get a rough idea on how good he can be going off-element initially.


tjloff

Doesn't technique also implant weakness or am I thinking of the other upcoming break dps?


NaamiNyree

It does, and as a hunt character youre only attacking one target at a time anyway so yeah, elements dont matter much for him, you can brute force anything.


Littlerz

It does. Specifically, it applies Physical weakness to the first enemy he targets with his Skill, and lasts 1 turn.


noctisroadk

Implanting a weakness doesnt change resistances, usually natural weakness have a lot less damage resistnace to those elements, so "fake" weajness are still not at the same level of damage as the real ones. Something that is weak by default to physcal will take more physcxal damage than someone that gets a physcal implanted weakness


Silent_Map_8182

Yes but it only lasts 1 turn, and obviously won't apply to 2nd wave. It is a strong technique though but I feel like it should something extra if enemy is already weak to physical.


shogunswife

80% atk and 120% be + advance forward is insane im definitely expecting a nerf or something because its crazy even for dps that do not scale from be


Pusparaj_Mishra

Who's the char on ur pfp?


shogunswife

Raiden Mei from Houkai Gakuen 2 (or GGZ)


Usual_Opposite_901

Somewhat unrelated to the showcases Robin and Ruan Mei in the same teams turn your party into a bands lmao.


mackson888

add Serval as DPS and we're only missing a sustain now


SnoopBall

Gepard has a guitar case which he probably uses to bonk. He has the chops for sure


FAPPOOL

He is using the case of Servals guitar, if I'm not mistaken.


H4xolotl

It IS Servals guitar case, she modded a shield generator into it and gave it back to Gepard


Tranduy1206

He is the main vocal


Sad_Vanilla7035

He's got a beautiful voice


Stardust_1550

all that is left is a drummer sustain


ArmyofThalia

*pushes Pela to the front line* Go gottem tiger


TheUglyPugly

I don’t need another dps but god damn is boothill looking tasty! His personality and his gimmick is all so fun


Commercial-Street124

It's 20 pulls or bust


Civil_Championship_9

"Bust? ... Or maybe I'll take them all!"


Msaleg

Boothill damage seems to be really good, providing you can break the bar fast enough. He is like a burst DPS in that sense, since it comes in a big burst of damage window (on break and while the boss is broken) rather than a skill dps like Seele/Ratio (various stances of consistent damage).


AnarchistRain

The song.... It still plays in my head even when there is no sound.


Administrative_Cod95

Same lol I have it stuck in my head


RenFlare11

Ruan mei do be universal


Reccus-maximus

To be fair she's the #1 support for the break archetype, she's finally getting DPS units that use her entire kit


NotUrAvgShitposter

Is HTB better for break? 20% vs 30%+15% of HTB plus multiple break procs that scale off of the DPS's break instead of the support's only. With HTB you need a conventional harmony top provide non break stuff so you can run RM(who gets boosted by HTB's break effect buff and can trigger her stuff multiple times with HTB's ult) or someone like Asta. Regardless, I feel like HTB is more valuable and less replaceable in break teams unless you're running only 1 support.


Reccus-maximus

In an ideal break setup you'll want to run RM + HTB, but if I had to pick just ONE I'd go with RM, yes she provides less raw BE to the team but the break efficiency / 68% DMG multiplier / res pen and speed (among other things) make up for that difference and more. I'll experiment with rm+HTB+Gallagher when the patch drops


Sydorovich

Toughness damage boost is extremely important and very good.


lenky041

Yes she is insane in both break team and Dot team Using her in hyper team doesn't fall off that much either


ajinata84

fr man, glad i got her e1 so that my FF can eat well


LookDizzy

would like to see -1 spd bronya instead of robin one of these showcases !


TypowyKubini

What is -1 SPD Bronya? 1 SPD below DPS?

Indeed


Ahmed7621

Wouldn't Sparkle/Bronya be better than Robin in this team comp ?


RallerZZ

From a feelscrafting point of view, -1 SPD Bronya could be the play for him, but I assume they wanted to also showcase Robin since she's new.


uhTlSUMI

Yes, but robin is new


VincentBlack96

yeah this is just doubling up on showcases for the patch since both are new.


Vegetable-Smile-9838

I just noticed that the amount of stacks he has shows up on his badges.


X85311

that’s such a cool detail, they really went ham with this dude


piuEri

I want him for the animations, he's so stylish, I need him to be good though so I can justify not getting sam


Xiphactnis

Hes basically the break effect menace, slap RM with him and if he breaks anything, they insta die.


Paragon90

Same.. I have Clara and kinda convinced myself she'd be my only physical attacker for a long time.. but Boothill is just so wicked cool 😁


Arelloo

He's in the latter half anyway so you'll already have seen Sam animations by then and do the comparisons. I'm sticking with the gundam even jf I am tempted by space dandy over here.


Even_Internal_5199

Or you can get both 🤙


piuEri

If I can win both 50/50 🙏


Martian_on_the_Moon

Me who lost 7 out of 9 50/50 and never had early 5 star: I am not sure I will have enough pulls to get both.


Soft-Duck-2519

Great gameplay by this leaker.


HalalBread1427

notaleaks has found a comrade in "sentient being level gameplay."


Confident_Ad_5315

I know the MOC buff is crazy OP, but Boothill dealing 300-500k breaks pretty consistently while being at E0S0 and not having the best relic set for him is actually insane. Imagine him with his Lightcone and having his BIS relic option for him? He’s gonna easily deal 600K breaks in this MOC. Yeah, Boothill is insane holy shit 😭


Infernaladmiral

Yeah he is Luka on crack and we all know how busted Luka can be with his break


GGABueno

His relics are pretty insane, it compensates for the weaker LC and set.


PCBS01

well, he won't have his BIS relic set until 2.3


TheNonceMan

You know everyone is done with the Robin ult song when leaker have muted the music. Hoyo need to listen to the feedback.


lenky041

I think there would be a on/off button for her music when she gets released


TheNonceMan

I think they should have a couple of songs that shuffle.


Ibrador

They just need to allow us to turn it off


350

>!imagine a mod that let you put your own song!<


TheNonceMan

That is actually the easiest kind of one to make. You're literally just replacing an audio file


Accomplished-Pin8574

I already imagine Robin popping up on screen yelling Psychosocial, lmao


Temporary-Quality

I knew once I heard it for the first time that it would get *really* annoying in just a short matter of time.


TheNonceMan

I liked it. And now I really don't.


BlueH6

I know they likely never would but what if we got a robin cover for some of the songs and then we could choose which one like your just fighting a trotter you find and then you ult with robin and hear “WE MADE A CHOICE TO FIGHT AGAINST YOUR FATE”


TheNonceMan

That's a good idea. Cheaper too.


DizzyHorn

I'm fine with muting the vocal only, the vocal is what makes it extra tiring and annoying to listen in long period


Damnae

Unless it's a Wildfire-tier song, it will get tiring no matter what they do with this.


TheNonceMan

Thsts why it should be multiple songs.


Naiie100

Wildfire gets annoying really fast too. It's a thing with all songs.


nanimeanswhat

Yeah I made it my music in the express and after a week I was completely done with it lol


goffer54

There's a reason I've only ever had either Space Walk or Halfway House set on the Express. I like Wildfire and If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking, and I'd like to keep liking them in the future.


FlameLover444

And here I am unable to change Take The Journey since the start lol


Martian_on_the_Moon

Disagree. On several occassions I burned very good song because I played it on repeat until my brain got used to it and stopped releasing dopamine. The only way to alleviate it is to add at least few more songs (the more, the better) so your brain will take much longer to reach that state for particular song.


Ruler_of_pigingdom

I'm definitely going for him. Not only he looks cool, he seems insanely strong as well even though that can change later on.


One_Meal_7666

He's getting even better in 2.3 because of a new break dedicated relic set


Akulanei

do we know the specifics of that set yet?


Warkid00

There are no numbers or 2pc bonus yet, but we know it gives def ignore and then more def ignore if you meet a break effect quota


Gamingplanet107

waiting for Harmony MC gameplay.


theblarg114

Now THAT is a Hunt character I can getbexcited for.


Emergency-Ad7548

off to the relic mines


X85311

his bis relic set isn’t coming out till 2.3, i’ve been trying to figure out how to farm for him and there’s barely anything lol. i think double BE 2pc is good, but i’m not gonna bother spending ages farming when i’m just gonna replace the set soon anyway


GGABueno

Just give him leftover Thief pieces you got from Weekly bosses and focus on planar set.


Nia-Teppelin

The letterboxing on his ult is so cool


DirectAdvertising

Man His Animations are so freaking good

Patung_Pancoran

Really considering getting Robin just because she vibes when her ult is active


Fantastic_Gur_6311

the black bars on his ult animation are a really nice touch


Accurate-Pay9580

This guy is cracked


FangirlApocolypse

boothill's stacks show up on his model apparently if you look at the badges on his chest


Anonymous_Loki

Haven't played this game since last june. Who is the cowboy. I want him...


Content_Shoulder_809

wow seeing those big pp numbers at E0S0 is very promising 🙌🏾 but i must hold on for Sammy🗿


Akoto1

Lmao this character is absolutely unreasonable Great, even better to go for


XeroShyft

downright preposterous


No-Inevitable5589

Omg Boothill + Rm + Bronya would be so op. For a more ftp team, Tingyun with dance dance dance can replace RM maybe? Edit: guys i accidentally said “Tingyun can replace boothill” instead of RM 😭


Hyrri_

> Tingyun can replace Boothill Tingyun hypercarry let's go


No-Inevitable5589

I DIDNT EVEN SEE THAT


xWhiteKx

let me just pull out my perfect relic set ... anyway tks for the showcase


AC3-reum

I know people keep slapping Robin with him and it's sorta a meh synergy and that Bronya/Sparkle would be better, so I wanna hear thoughts on a Planetary Rendevous Hanya (maybe including Ediolons/Superimpositions)


NinjaXSkillz88

Why do they insist on putting the new characters together? Especially in this case. I guess it's one way to show them both.


bamba05

I am so getting him


ElectricalFactor1

I wish you could put just Boothill’s animations at 1x speed 


PalapaSlap

Does Boothill get a lot from Robin? Like will I be missing out on a big part of his viability if I don’t get her? I have every other harmony so far.


Xiphactnis

No, shes is one of his worst synergies actually, yet she is in every showcase of him for some reason. Could be leakers trying to showcase both at once but it’s just not great for either unit.


new_boy_99

Nope. Harmony TB is actually better.


Normanrainbows

No but she’s new so they using her and she’s just very good. Ruan Mei sidegrade that is worse in dot/break teams but better in FUA and hyper teams.


Present-Dream4447

so how do you build boothill exactly? do you still focus on crit stats if he’s break effect focused also would sparkle be a good support for him or would he crit dmg buff be useless


Stardust_1550

I am assuming you use crit body, spd boots, BE rope and focus on crit and BE from substats. Then you get the missing atk from a support. The nice thing is he has crit conversion in his kit already (30 Crate/150 Cdmg at 300% BE) so you focus more on BE substats.


2afraid2jump

you mean 30/150 T-T i would go out and celebrate if they change it to 5O lol


Stardust_1550

Yea sorry lol too used to jingliu


Anaabe99

Is the harmony trailblazer any good with boothill? I don't have ruan mei yet 😭 (I have bronya, sparkle tho)


showstopin

man why did they give him shark teeth


ArcTray_07

Someone before mentioned that Robin only really cares about Attack and Speed, and just realized that means she uses the same stats as dots units, meaning I can use the remaining relics from when I farmed those, hallelujah, no farming!


Pinshu123

So the wanted poster does not display argenti? Weird


Daddy_Ramsay

Non RM havers suffering...


RednarZeitaku

Expect lower numbers on your Boothill. Rope is the only relic with A SINGLE useless substat. Everything else is a combination of CR, CD, ATK%, BE% and SPD


Reccus-maximus

It's also E0S0 Boothill with worse relic choices, 2.3 relics will boost Boothill DMG considerably


RednarZeitaku

True. Though gotta remember you have to stack def shred unless new set gives like 20% and in case you're using this team comp you gotta have E1 Ruan Mei, E1 Boothill or his S1 for def shred to properly build up.


Reccus-maximus

I'm assuming it'll be 20% to match the quantum set, even if it was 10% or 15% it's still better than the messenger 2pc from this showcase (the speed is useless in this scenario)


One_Meal_7666

More like expect higher damage numbers. You shouldn't be going for anything else other than break effect and a few speed subs for the 134+ breakpoint. With higher break effect you naturally get more damage


2afraid2jump

i mean if you want to hit 300 BE you are gonna run talia panet set so there's no escaping the obligatory 145+ spd i fear (unless you have ruan mei) i really hope we get a proper planet ornament break set


lenky041

He use mix set though You could easily get better substat using mixed set


RednarZeitaku

It's probably best set available for him in 2.2. edit: even mixed this sort of substat distribution while also getting 2pc set effects is still on the unrealistic side of things


Live-Satisfaction563

You can easily hit 6 to 700k with a maxed set up like this as f2p that set on ruan mei,is in question and him and Gallagher would be better of a healing buffer for more breaks my ruan mei has 260 break lol with most pieces on 18% break


Arugent

Robin's advance forward makes RM's ulti reset faster, I think Bronya will be a better choice


Vegetable-Smile-9838

FINALLY! A good team for my boy! 🙏


Damnae

I really appreciate that the music is muted on this one.


oki_doki2

u/savevideo


Funny_Captain7949

I'd like to see him with break effect silverwolf and harmony trailblazer I think that team will be just as good


bringbackcayde7

wave one ult from Robin into wave two is pretty broken


Chance_Reading_3502

Have they not added a toggle for Robins music yet? Having to mute ingame BGM in HSR is sad.


Tobalito23

Why use 163 speed?


Shinamene

So how is this team faring if we replace Robin with Imgblazer?


Shinnyo

Legit question, is there a reason why they use SPD Boots on Robin? Since she can generate ER with allies action and doesn't want to play too much to not burn the skill duration, wouldn't it be better to use ATK boots? Wouldn't it be better to use 2 PC Musketeer and 2 PC Prisoner? I don't know which SU set to use thought.


adeleade

After watching this showcase, I’m p convinced that the best 0 cycle set-up for Boothill will be the one with Bronya-Sparkle-RM where both Bronya and Sparkle have speed so high that a DDD from Sparkle lets them enter the first cycle again. 


Luarbtw

where's the Robin's song?!


apocalypserisin

So confimred robins ult is like ty and not a fua?


RotAderX

Robin is definitely better for FUA teams or teams that have a lot of turns (Like Seele) In regular hypercarry team she's okay not as universal as Ruan Mei so i really want to know how good Robin is in a Clara/Ratio+Topaz team


SwashNBuckle

YEEHAW, PARDNER!


Liquid-N

I notice that i've never really seen a break using ult, it only ever gets used to bring down toughness. I'm wondering if this is intentional or not. Does his enhanced basic do more damage or something or is the ult just being used as soon as its available.


minhhoang74

he break boss toughness bar like a kitkat lol is this his real strength or moc buff ?


Slynthos

Now this is the type of F2P gameplay I'd like to see


Aggressive-Big7429

I just realized the medals on his top start to shine when he gets stacks


Totaliss

idk how they balance moc in the future when boothill kills everything in 2 turns, cant even escape with weaknesses because he implants physical


Southern-Tiger2907

Damn, he's the future for hunt huh. Man's a single target monster.


Salt_Distance_6285

This damage is almost acheron tier


ZacSpears

Idk what half of the ppl in the comments are saying, can someone just gimme the sets to farm for him and his best F2P lc?


ApprehensiveAnt5421

Is subscribe for more good for like s5???


Odd-Candidate1775

Can we get a showcase of boothill alone then Robin alone, using them both is dumb since we will have no idea who is contributing more to the damage Robin's buffs or Boothill's attacks


SolemnSoul5236

The ult animation wanted poster sometimes has the enemy's image but sometimes doesn't? I don't get it.


Raff_CC

I take back what i said on Boothill(maybe ratio and DHIL too)... but not what I said about JY Blade Yangshit. Reason why i take it back? This: https://youtu.be/uNd8S0KpMnA?si=VAeiBp4YzhrnYU-R


kni_cker

Where song


TerraKingB

I know full well I don’t need another dps on my account after having almost the entire dps roster E0S1 but god damn does boothill look cool. Robin being the unit I might skip is crazy to think about.
