A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail has surfaced, offering a glimpse into the combat interactions between the highly anticipated characters, Boothill and Robin. These characters have already been confirmed by the game's official social media channels and are anticipated to debut in Version 2.2.
The roster of playable characters in Honkai: Star Rail continues to expand, with Acheron being the latest addition in the 2.1 update. Despite the unreleased Phase 2 five-star character, Aventurine, leaks have already begun circulating about another exciting set of playable heroes.
Following HoYoverse's official teasers, Robin and Boothill are both slated to be five-star characters. Robin, focusing on physical attacks under the Harmony archetype, is poised to support the party through attack buffs. Conversely, Boothill, aligned with The Hunt category, specializes in high single-target damage. A leaked post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit showcases gameplay footage featuring Robin and Boothill in action against multiple foes. Players speculate that pairing Robin's versatility with Boothill's damage output could make for a formidable team strategy.
Honkai: Star Rail: Deconstructing Robin and Boothill's Abilities
Prior leaks have hinted at Robin's Skill, granting a significant 36% ATK boost to all party members, as demonstrated in leaked footage. This buff lasts for three rounds, offering a consistent enhancement throughout battles. Robin's ultimate ability immobilizes her but confers various buffs to the team based on her Eidolon levels.
On the other hand, Boothill's Technique triggers attacks on the enemy with the lowest HP, accumulating Reforged stacks that enhance Toughness damage. His Skill marks a target for a boosted Basic Attack, while a passive component reduces damage from foes not under the mark.
Given the leaked in-game footage, the credibility of these leaks appears promising. However, HoYoyverse might introduce alterations to the characters' mechanics before the expected release of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 around May 8. As customary, the character launches will likely be split across two banner cycles.
