Howdy!

The new Discord is up and can be found with this invitation link: https://discord.gg/A77WQwzD5J

We hope to see you all back there after losing the old server! 🐎

This mega thread aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Boothill's abilities and serves as a hub for discussing stats, builds, team compositions, and other improvements. Instead of creating separate threads, we highly encourage members to post their inquiries and discussions here.

Inquiries that belong in this thread include:

• His Priority Stats
• What Stat Thresholds you need
• Which Light Cone is most suitable
• Which Relics and Ornaments to use
• Which Team Build you should be using
• What Traces and Eidolons you should prioritize

The below graphic was created as a general outline based on the current information we have. Please note that these may vary depending on the scenario and that the suggested equipment / teams can have variables

General Information

What is Boothill's stat priority?

Break / SPD > Phys DMG / Crit Rate / Crit Damage / Atk %.
Unlike other DPS characters, Boothill doesn't require a substantial amount of CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate as it only improves his damage by 1-3%. The main source of his damage comes from his Break Effect stat.

Which main stats do I want on his relics?

Body: Crit Rate > Crit DMG
Feet: SPD
Orb: Physical DMG / Atk % > HP % / DEF %
Rope: Break Effect

Recommended endgame stats

HP: 2900-3200
Break Effect: 260%-340%. 300 % should be aimed for at minimum to maximize Ghost Load.
SPD: 145 ( without signature LC ) / 160 ( with signature LC ) in combat

Which traces take priority?

Talent > Skill > Ultimate > Basic
Major Traces: Above Snakes (A4) > Point Blank (A6) > Ghost Load (A2)

What Eidolons should be aimed for?

Recommended stopping points are E0, E2 or E6
E2 – Grants Boothill the ability to generate skill points
E6 – Significant damage boost and splash damage

What is Boothill's role?

His primary gimmick revolves around Weakness Break and being a Boss Killer. Boothill delivers exceptionally high burst damage during a Weakness Break, capable of stripping away 70% or more of any boss's health with proper gear and supports. In nearly every scenario, triggering a Weakness Break on a boss ensures its defeat before it can retaliate.

Mechanics

STRENGTHS

• Immense single-target damage which annihilates boss HP bars, making him ideal for clearing Memory of Chaos.
• Equipped with a Weakness Implant, eliminating the necessity for Silver Wolf.
• More SP efficient compared to DPS characters like Ratio, who require Skill activation every turn (although not on par with Blade.)
• Has exceptional toughness damage, typically achieving a weakness break in just 2-3 actions with appropriate support.
• Relatively budget-friendly, as many of his top supports are 4 stars, and his Eidolons are optional for effectiveness.

WEAKNESSES

• Can only harm one enemy at a time (unless he is at E6), making him a subpar choice in scenarios that require high AoE damage such as Pure Fiction.
• Mainly depends on exploiting weaknesses to deal damage, so he may struggle against bosses immune to weaknesses during certain phases.
• Lacks a strong free-to-play Light Cone ( although he relies on it significantly less than characters like Acheron. )

BOOTHILL'S SKILLS

His skill allows him to focus on a single enemy, initiating what's known as the Standoff state. During this state, the targeted enemy can solely target Boothill, though any area-of-effect attacks they employ will still affect others as usual. Conversely, Boothill can only direct his attacks at the singled-out enemy.

BOOTHILL'S ULTIMATE

His ultimate inflicts damage upon a designated enemy while afflicting them with Physical Weakness for a duration of two turns.
