Honkai Star Rail has entered the second phase of its version 2.2 update, introducing a remarkably strong 5-Star single-target damage dealer named Boothill. This character embodies the cowboy style, complete with a cyborg body, a hat, and a revolver. You can either obtain him through in-game draws or quickly experience this new character by purchasing a Cheap Honkai: Star Rail Account that already includes him. Here are some tips about how to build the best Boothill.

Boothill Overview
Joining the ranks of the limited Hunt characters in Honkai: Star Rail, Boothill is a single-target Physical DPS specialist with a unique kit that excels in exploiting Weakness Break. While characters like Sushang also benefit from Weakness Break and share the same element and path, Boothill goes further by applying Physical Weakness to enemies, enhancing his basic attacks, and utilizing a scaling Break Effect to deliver massive damage. This means Boothill's performance is particularly effective against mini-bosses and bosses in Honkai: Star Rail.

The Best Relics for Boothill
As a Hunt character reliant on Break Effect for damage, Boothill benefits most from relics that boost this stat. Equipping him with the 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor set and Talia: Kingdom of Banditry provides a 68% Break Effect increase.

Alternatively, combining 2-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor with 2-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace enhances Boothill's speed. This combination matches the 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor in effectiveness, demonstrating Boothill's versatility. While it sacrifices 16 Break Effect, the added speed compensates, ensuring no significant loss in damage.

Overall, Boothill doesn’t require a high Crit stat. His passive ability provides some Crits, and players can maximize his potential by achieving 300% Break Effect (including buffs from other characters). Prioritizing Break Effect and speed over Crit is crucial for optimizing Boothill's performance.

The Best Light Cones for Boothill
The top Light Cone for Boothill in Honkai: Star Rail is Sailing Towards a Second Life. It provides SPD, Break Effect, and DEF penetration, making it his best-in-slot due to its comprehensive benefits. No other Light Cone matches its effectiveness for Boothill, with all others falling short in terms of damage.

The next best 5-star Light Cone is In the Night, followed closely by the 4-star River Flows in Spring at S5. River Flows in Spring stands out because its passive grants SPD, a crucial stat for Boothill along with Break Effect, which is rare in Hunt Light Cones.

If you can't obtain his top Light Cones, the S5 Adversarial is a solid alternative. This 3-star F2P Light Cone also boosts his SPD, a stat Boothill highly values.

Trace Priority for Boothill
Talent: The top priority is his talent, because talent determines his damage base.
Ultimate Skill: Prioritize upgrading Boothill’s Ultimate as it provides significant damage boosts.
Skill Skill: Upgrade the skill that Boothill uses most frequently in combat.
Basic ATK : Upgrade if there are remaining resources after prioritizing the Ultimate and skill.

The Best Teams for Boothill
1.Boothill, Bronya, Ruan Mei, Gallagher
This is the optimal team for Boothill in Honkai Star Rail. Both Bronya and Ruan Mei significantly boost Boothill's damage output. Bronya's Advance Forward ability also allows Boothill to attack multiple times. Gallagher is a strong choice for debuffing enemies and enhancing your Basic ATK. However, Luocha or Huohuo are also excellent alternatives.

2.Boothill, Harmony Trailblazer, Ruan Mei, Gallagher
This team surpasses the previous one due to the Super Break DMG mechanic from the Harmony Trailblazer. When combined with Boothill's Break DMG, it enables you to quickly dismantle bosses. Gallagher maintains his role, debuffing enemies, boosting ATK, and healing allies as needed.

The above is the best build guide for Boothill in terms of Light Cones, Relics, Trace Priority and Team Recommendation. If you allow the guide, you will get a high-damage Boothill. If you haven't got Boothill yet, you can try to Buy Honkai Star Rail Accounts to experience him early.
