Summary
Honkai: Star Rail’s Boothill has a decent kit complete with Physical damage, according to a recent leak. Last week, Boothill received his drip marketing campaign as the newest five-star character following the path of Hunt. He was confirmed forHonkai: Star Railversion 2.2, the patch that will also introduce players to Robin in early May.
There is no likelihood that Boothill and Robin will appear in version 2.1, as the characters for the game’s current version have already been confirmed.Honkai: Star Railwill add two new event-exclusive banners, Words of Yore and Laic Pursuit, on which players must spend Special Rail Passes to obtain Acheron, Gallagher, and rerun units like Pela and Luocha. In addition to these, the space fantasy RPG will bring back Dan Heng, a fan-favorite Wind character following the path of Hunt. According to the schedule, version 2.1 ofHonkai: Star Railwill go live on March 27.
A recent leak from HomDGCat, a credible leaker within the community, has revealed fresh details aboutHonkai: Star Rail’s Boothill, confirming that his skill set delivers a degree of Physical damage. Boothill performs a Technique to deal damage to the enemy with the lowest HP and gain one stack of Reforged, a special effect that increases Toughness DMG. He inflicts a temporary Physical Weakness effect on a single target using his Ultimate. Furthermore,Boothill gets a Crit DMG boostfrom one of his traces.
Boothill’s Skill is the core part of his kit, applying a Duel Mark on a single target. Upon using this Skill, the character enters a combat state and performs Enhanced Basic ATK. Also, he takes reduced damage from enemies without Duel Mark. One thing to note is that Boothill is still under development, meaning his kit or design could change until he debuts in the game.
Honkai: Star Rail Will Introduce at least Two New Characters in Version 2.2
As confirmed by the HoYo team, Boothill will be featured in the same version with Robin, another five-star character whose kit is based on Physical damage. According to early leaks,Honkai: Star Rail’s Robinwill fit well into the support role and provide her team with defense utility. She will supposedly be available in the first part of version 2.2.
Alongside Robin and Boothill,Honkai: Star Railversion 2.2will allegedly introduce Firefly, a new character capable of dealing massive damage. She has a powerful Technique that makes her immune to enemy attacks. Firefly’s supposed kit also features an overworld attack that dishes out AoE damage.
