An exclusive Honkai: Star Rail leak has lifted the curtain on the comprehensive kit of the highly anticipated character, Boothill. This forthcoming addition to the game's roster has been officially acknowledged by the game's social media handles, unveiling his striking splash art and confirming his imminent debut in the upcoming Version 2.2.

Boothill is not alone in the lineup of new characters for the Honkai: Star Rail update, as HoYoverse has hinted at the arrival of the spirited Harmony user, Robin. Although details about their banner placements remain under wraps, players can anticipate the release of update 2.2 around May 8.

A recent post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit has spilled the beans on additional specifics regarding Boothill, the new five-star Physical character. His arsenal includes a diverse set of Skills, Ultimates, Techniques, and Traces. Described in his official backstory as a relentlessly positive cyborg cowboy navigating the galaxy, Boothill is a key member of the Galaxy Rangers, a band of formidable individuals dedicated to upholding justice across the cosmos.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Unveils Boothill's Full Kit

• Skill: Sizzling Tango - Engaging in a Standoff mode with an adversary, Boothill amplifies his Basic Attack. Provoking the enemy into a Taunted state, both parties inflict 15-30% increased damage on each other. Upon vanquishing a foe, Boothill gains a Pocket Trickshot stack, terminating the Standoff. This distinct combat stance positions Boothill as an exceptional choice for confronting solitary adversaries in Honkai: Star Rail.
• Ultimate: Dust Devil's Sunset Rodeo - Inflicting a Physical Weakness debuff on an opponent for two turns, this Ultimate attack deals Physical damage equivalent to 400% of Boothill's ATK and postpones the enemy's actions by 40%.
• Technique: 3-9x Smile - Triggering this Technique allows Boothill to inflict Physical Weakness on a single foe during his initial Skill deployment in the subsequent battle.

The Ghost Load Trace enriches this Honkai: Star Rail character's CRIT Rate and CRIT damage by 10-50% of the Break Effect. Conversely, the Above Snakes Trace diminishes damage inflicted on Boothill by 30% from adversaries not engaged in Standoff. The leaked third Trace, Point Blank, empowers Boothill to regenerate 10 Energy points upon acquiring Pocket Trickshot during Standoff.

With regard to Boothill's role within a party in Honkai: Star Rail, it is foreseeable that he will serve as a high-performing single-target DPS character. This aligns with the typical focus on singular target damage observed in characters following the Hunt path. While these leaks offer intriguing insights, it is advisable to approach them with caution, as HoYoverse may introduce further alterations to Boothill's kit prior to his official debut.
