Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Mysterious New NPC
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak shows a new NPC that will arrive in the upcoming update 2.2 alongside new characters Boothill and Robin.
A new post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit has revealed more details about the new five-star Physical character Boothill, including his Skill, Ultimate, Technique, and multiple Traces. According to his official bio, Boothill is an extremely optimistic cyborg cowboy who drifts among the stars. He is also a member of the Galaxy Rangers, a group of powerful characters who wander around the cosmos and try to uphold justice wherever they go.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Boothill’s Kit
- Skill: Sizzling’ Tango – Boothill enters a Standoff state with an enemy target, enhancing his Basic Attack. The enemy will become Taunted and both of them will take 15-30% increased damage from each other. After defeating a target, Boothill obtains a stack of Pocket Trickshot, then dispels the Standoff. The unique Standoff state could make Boothill a great choice when fighting single bosses in Honkai: Star Rail.
- Ultimate: Dust Devil’s Sunset Rodeo – Boothill applies a Physical Weakness debuff to an enemy for two turns. It also deals Physical damage equal to 400% of Boothill’s ATK and delays the enemy’s action by 40%.
- Technique: 3-9x Smile – After the Technique is used, Boothill inflicts Physical Weakness on a single enemy when using his Skill for the first time in the next battle.
Boothill’s Ghost Load Trace increases this Honkai: Star Rail character’s CRIT Rate and CRIT damage equal to 10-50% of the Break Effect. The Above Snakes Trace decreases the damage Boothill receives by 30% from targets that are not part of his Standoff state. The third Trace, mentioned in the leak, Point Blank, makes Boothill regenerate 10 Energy points when Pocket Trickshot is obtained during the Standoff state.
When it comes to Boothill’s party role in Honkai: Star Rail, it’s safe to assume that he will be a single-target DPS character. This should not be a surprise considering that most characters who follow the Hunt path are primarily focused on single-target damage. These leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt, considering that HoYoverse could make additional changes to Boothill’s kit before his official arrival.
