Honkai: Star Rail - Should You Pull for Robin or Boothill

Honkai: Star Rail - Should You Pull for Robin or Boothill

For Boothill, the build might be considered rather more complicated compared to Robin, since he combines a traditional DPS build, which typically involves Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%, with Break Effect. Given this, players have more stats to pay attention to, with Break Effect taking the most priority among main stats or set effect bonuses. Boothill will benefit from combining sets that provide Break Effect, such as Thief of Shooting Meteor and Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations. There isn't much flexibility in this regard, except for considering Champion of Streetwise Boxing as a 2-piece instead. For Planar Ornaments, he is also not as versatile as Robin, though this is expected from DPS characters generally. He can best make use of Rutilant Arena to increase his Basic ATK DMG even further. Considering that Boothill doesn't gain Crit Stats through his traces, reaching a 70% Crit Rate threshold can further increase the difficulty of min-maxing this character. Overall, however, if most attention is put on Break Effect through main stats or even light cone options, sub-stat min-maxing can be made a little eas

She provides SPD buffs that make her teammates able to take more actions during combat, which is absolutely essential given the system's mechanics. Likewise, characters like Boothill or Seele rely heavily on reaching certain SPD tiers compared to their teamma

Hanya's weaknesses include her high Energy cost Ultimate , which only applies to one ally, her low base defensive stats, and her Skill's somewhat clunky interaction with Burden. Despite these drawbacks, Hanya remains a very strong and flexible support, especially for Skill Point-hungry DPS like Imbibitor Lunae and Qingque. While her Eidolons are not required, they do provide nice quality of life improvements and enhance the effectiveness of her bu

When it comes to light cones, Boothill is quite dependent on his signature light cone, Sailing Towards A Second Life, for optimizing his damage, as it is currently the only Hunt light cone that provides Break DMG. This light cone may not be considered quite future-proof since it is relatively niche for him. Nevertheless, he can still make use of other options, primarily as stat sticks, such as Seele's light cone In the Night. However, it can be said that he is still much more reliant on his light cone than many other DPS characters as well. This makes Boothill not quite F2P-friendly or easy to build on that note in terms of build. However, he is still going to perform quite well without his light c

For the Planar Ornaments, performance between different sets is a bit more minimal, and players should essentially decide on which one to equip based on their sub-stats. Duran Dynasty of Running Wolves and Inert Salsotto generally are a bit more fitting for Jade for each occasion, on the other hand Sigonia the Unclaimed Desolation and Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm depend more on team composition, while being particularly useful in Pure Fiction, as opposed to other cont

Yanqing has unfortunately fallen to the wayside over time. He is a Single Target DPS, and performs this role well enough in battles that require it, but he struggles to fit into many other scenarios. Welt is an AoE DPS who suffers the same problem in reverse. The two play well enough on teams in the early game, but struggle to measure up to their counterparts on Honkai: Star Rail 's standard ban

Robin enters the roster as a Physical Harmony character, further enriching the limited 5-star Harmony character list alongside recent additions like Ruan Mei and Sparkle. Conversely, Boothill debuts as a Physical Hunt character, broadening the selection of Physical DMG dealers, which previously included options like Argenti, Clara, and Sushang on the non-limited ros

Other B-Tier characters may berising stars in specific game modes despite struggling to perform in others. Herta and Himeko define this role, given their almost absurd ability to carry in Honkai: Star Rail 's Pure Fiction game mode . Their reliable follow-up attacks pair well with one another, and other follow-up dependent charact

Considering that Jade's own kit comes with some self buffs, for example being able to increase her own Crit DMG, building Jade is not as difficult as some other characters, despite her still required to be built similar to many DPS characters while requiring to balance certain stats. Here's everything players need to know when building Jade in Honkai: Star R
