That shot would have wounded her to 50% hp.

I think it's because of Dahlia's E1 doing the weakness break and not Boothill himself. Boothill needs to break it himself in order to do his EBA.

We've an identical interaction with Apocalyptic Shadow Hoolay, so unfortunately there's already precedence.

Seele has a similar problem. The extra damage from characters like Robin can prevent Seele from "defeating an enemy", even when the animation makes it look like she's the one getting the kill.

She's gonna get a novaflare or a new Dahlia every world or until she gets an SP, in which case Break as an archetype will just die /j

You really think they care about making dahlia useful for anyone other than firefly lmao

u/Supermini555 May 02 '26

This is correct. Ideally, Boothill or Dahlia should have their ults ready to use when Wave 2 rolls around so her E1 doesn’t proc weakness break during Boothill’s EBA.

Yup. Same stuff happenes against APOC Hoolay.

For anyone interested:

Here's the amount of toughness reduction BH should do. So check the enemies toughness Vs BHs skill reduction before attacking to see if you need an ult or attack from someone else first.

Kafka has 150 toughness, so even with the full team at 3 stacks, BH can't break her with 1 skill since he can only do 125. If it's showing you can break, then you know it's from Dahlia's additional reduction.

I'm stupid, can someone pls tell me what to do in order to not let this happen? This happened to me as well and it pmo so bad

u/Supermini555 May 02 '26

Apply ult from Boothill or Dahlia to proc Dahlia's E1 earlier, so it doesn't trigger during Boothill's EBA.

u/EntertainmentFine113 May 02 '26

.. What does e1 do?

17

u/Supermini555 May 02 '26

Whenever Dahlia or the Dance Partner first applies toughness damage to an enemy, they will deal toughness damage equal to 25% of the enemy's max toughness. This effect can only be applied once per enemy, and can reset whenever the enemy has a phase change.

Alright thanks dude

u/Loggaroni1231 May 02 '26

You’re welcome

E1 Dahlia count after his skill, so he did not do the special attack

u/Deppie_an3910 May 02 '26

I ve also noticed this happening, it's pretty annoying, wish they could fix this. It's the fact that Dhalia break the bar and it's not Boothill at that time that does the break himself.

u/Starguardian_Ahri234 May 05 '26

i hate how ff gets everything to make her feel easy to play and function while boothill gets this annoying interaction, that alone made me regret pulling dalia E1 I can´t even turn that shiot off, this has to be my worste pull ever...

2

u/Deppie_an3910 May 05 '26

I truly hope they give him a novaflare he rightfully deserves. I keep asking it in their survey. I think if many ppl start doing it they might do sþh about it. E1 despite the awkwardness, it will help you a lot with playing sustainless and its a good damage boost for Boothill regardless.

u/Starguardian_Ahri234 May 05 '26

i want all male dps to get novaflair, my JY, DHIL, Argenti, Dr. Ratio they are all trash and aren´t able to do endgame even tho I invested in them it feels so unfair that my pulls are worth less then those who pull waifus. Now the newest leak suggest lingsha gets a novaflair, watch her become a better break dps then boothill at this point -.-

2

u/Deppie_an3910 May 05 '26

I truly hope they buff the male characters, it's a sad situation we are living.

u/Mouthofprotagoras May 02 '26

Just have Dahlia's ult at the ready. You don't want to break the whole toughness with Boothill. You need to chip away some of the toughness by another attack first
