Version 2.1 Trailer – “Into the Yawning Chasm” | Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai Star Rail Boothill kit
Boothill is a 5-Star Physical character of The Hunt path who scales off Break Effect and can implant a Physical Weakness on enemies with his Ultimate and Technique.
All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces.
Keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from honyehunterworld that could change upon his official release, here’s a summary of Boothill’s kit in Honkai Star Rail:
- Element: Physical.
- Path: The Hunt.
- Rarity: 5-Star.
- Basic Attack: Skullcrush Spurs – Deals Physical damage equal to 50% of Boothill’s attack to a single enemy.
- Enhanced Basic Attack: Fanning the Hammer – Deals Physical damage equal to 90% of Boothill’s attack to a single enemy. For every stack of Pocket Trickshot, Boothill deals an additional hit of Physical damage equal to 10% of Boothill’s attack to the target. This attack can’t regenerate Energy. Fanning the Hammer also can’t recover Skill Points, and can only target the enemy currently with Standoff.
- Skill: Sizzlin’ Tango – Activate Standoff for Boothill and a target enemy, lasting for two turns. When there are no enemy targets on the field that have Standoff and can be attacked, Standoff is dispelled. When in Standoff, the enemy target is Taunted and Boothill can’t use his Skill. His basic attack is also enhanced to Fanning the Hammer. When in Standoff, both the enemy target and Boothil receive 15% more damage when attacked. This Skill can’t regenerate Energy, and the turn will not end after using Boothill’s Skill.
- Ultimate: Dust Devil’s Sunset Rodeo – There is a 150% base chance to apply Physical Weakness to a target enemy, lasting for two turns. Also deals Physical Damage equal to 240% of Boothill’s attack to the target, and delays their action. The extent of this delay is equal to 10% of Boothill’s Break Effect plus 10%.
- Talent (passive ability): Five Peas in a Pod – When the target with Standoff is defeated or Weakness Broken, Boothill dispels Standoff and receives one stack of Pocket Trickshot, up to three stacks. While using Fanning the Hammer, if the enemy is Weakness Broken, Boothill deals Break Damage equal to 28% of his Physical Break damage to this target for every stack of Pocket Trickshot, on the basis of the target’s maximum Toughness. The maximum amount of Toughness taken into consideration can’t exceed 1600% of the Toughness reduced by a basic attack. After winning the battle, Boothill can retain Pocket Advantage for the next battle.
- Technique (overworld ability): 3-9x Smile – When using Boothill’s Skill for the first time in the next battle, there is a 150% base chance to inflict Physical Weakness equal to Boothill’s Ultimate to the target, lasting for one turn.
- Bonus Trace 1: Ghost Load – Increases Boothill’s Crit Rate by 10% of his Break Effect, and his Crit Damage by 50% of his Break Effect. Crit Rate can only be increased by a maximum of 30%, whereas Crit Damage can be increased by a maximum of 150%.
- Bonus Trace 2: Above Snakes – Decreases the damage Boothill receives from targets not in Standoff by 30%.
- Bonus Trace 3: Point Blank – When Pocket Trickshot is obtained via Boothill’s Talent, he regenerates 10 Energy. This effect is also triggered when obtaining Pocket Trickshot stacks that exceed the maximum.
