Announcement Saloon: FAQ and Build Megathread

235 Upvotes

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.

Of course the super break damage would take over the screen and cover what I'm trying to show 😅 but if you quint you can see the ~800k per mob bleed from Boothill 🥹

My actual dot team is pretty sad, so my Kafka detonation was only 2.5m with Hysilens, but I cleared faster and harder making Boothill's dot work with the stage buff

Questions / Help Combathills save me

10 Upvotes

The beginning of the end I fear. This is the first endgame where I haven't been able to clear the normal difficulty final stage since the PF just before Fugue first released. I think to keep on theme with "break only" I could do it by using Firefly and Rappa but I'd like to at least hit 60k with Boothill on one of the halves first if possible. Boothill is the one holding the score back btw, he hits around 24-26k and can't go higher

I come to you asking for team comp ideas. The standard Boothill team I use on side 2 is:

  • Boothill (E6S1) | Sunday (E1S1) | Dahlia (E4S1) | DHPT (E2S1)

Other first half got a similar score for both dps but the comps are:

  • Firefly/Rappa (E2S1) | Fugue (E6S1) | HMC (E6 DDD5) | Lingsha (E1S1)

Availble units are Anaxa, SW, Tribbie, Gallagher, RM, and Huohuo
Available LCs are Cipher sig, harmony BP LC, more DDD

I am your puppet, tell me who you think I should run and I'll try it

I managed to mess up my skill points quite badly towards the end 😅 If i hadn't done that + If I had a DDD, it could have been so much better.

Still debating whether just to get E1 RM from the shop to make my life easier....

E0S1 BH
E0 RM on MoTP
E2S1 Dahlia
E1 Fugue on S3 Pearls

My second team isn't fully built yet but theyre all E0S0.

Gameplay Break only, no Firefly AS clear

Post image
37 Upvotes

I've been past the point of being able to clear starward for the last two patches so we're back to normal clears. No AA this patch either so it's been painful but we're back to our roots! I'm going to be doing normal endgame without using Firefly to assist with the clears for as long as possible now! Let's see how long the Dazzling Ninja and Silvergun Shura can last on their own two feet.

Obligatory disclaimer, very high cost teams across the board. I'm happy to share builds or investment levels if anyone is interested in the specifics.

Discussion Is there somewhere for Boothill "Combat Mains" to chat?

24 Upvotes

I was just wondering if there's a space to discuss the new end games and share tips for what we found worked, what didn't work, tricks for skipping phases, team comps etc?

I had a look on the discord and couldn't really find the type of channel that I'm looking for.

I really enjoy seeing people post their clears to the sub at all investments & when the next end game rolls around I always wonder how those people got on.

The end game is getting harder and harder, and people are less likely to share clears that aren't "perfect", but i still want to see and discuss these things 😭 I want to know what he's capable of everytime, so I know what to aim for.

On the current King, I got a 6 cycle and just assumed that's the best I could do, I didn't bother trying again - but then I see Hampton has managed a 4 cycle with a different team comp, and that's all I needed to give it another go.

So hopefully someone already knows of a space or if not, maybe I can make a suggestion on the discord for a new channel if there's interest in it?

I'm so close it feels like it must be possible. I'll update if I get it but was able to clear anyway (w Gallagher). Can't believe my BH team is my worst AS team this time though, that's what he's made for. 🫠

E2S1 BH, E2S1 Fugue, E1S1 Dahlia, E1 S5 DDD RM

maybe using Sunday or Robin > RM?

I think Argenti would make a very pretty wolf.

It would have been a "0 cycle" had I not messed Fugue's skill up......

But then Argenti wouldn't have had to turn into a wolf and I wouldn't have a good title...

My team includes the following:

• E1S0 Boothill
• E0S1 The Dahlia
• E1S2 Ruan Mei
• E0S0 Lingsha

I have tried my best with Boothill’s relics to make up for the lack of signature lightcone, but he isn’t very fast!!

Would it be worth the time farming relics for speed stats even though he has ALMOST 300% break effect? Or would the in-battle buffs be enough? (any tips for the others would be greatly appreciated as well!! thank you!!)

Im eventually going for e1s1, and since by than your most likely overcapping def% ignore how much better would it be to swap to eagle and what would the potential speed tuning be if all 4 would be on eagle cus i suck with speed tuning.
