Best Boothill build in Honkai Star Rail — insane single-target DPS character!
Behold, the space cowboy.
Boothill, a 5-star character from the Path of the Hunt, is a formidable physical damage dealer in Honkai Star Rail.
The space cowboy works well in a break effect-focused team and can deal a ton of damage to a single target.
If you want to add Boothill to your trailblazing party, you have come to the right place.
ONE Esports’ best Boothill build guide covers everything you need to know on how to make him a solid single-target DPS character who specializes in dealing break damage, including detailed explanations on light cones, relics, planar ornaments, and team compositions.
Best Boothill build: Light cones
The best light cone for Boothill is, unsurprisingly, his signature light cone, which boosts his break effect and break damage. Boothill’s damage scales with the break effect, and this light cone increases that stat significantly and gives him a speed boost, allowing him to take more actions in the standoff state.
In a break or super break team, which includes Ruan Mei and Gallagher, Boothill can deal an insane amount of break damage.
Cruising in the Stellar Sea is a great alternative, as it can boost Boothill’s attack, crit rate, and crit damage. This light cone is especially effective when fighting bosses, as you get bonus crit rate when the enemy’s health is 50% or less.
Likewise, Sleep Like the Dead is a good choice if you have a crit build. Equipping this increases Boothill’s crit rate.
Swordplay is a great 4-star alternative if you want a good damage boost. The amount of damage dealt increases if you target the same enemy, making this a great choice against elite and boss enemies.
Lastly, River Flows in Spring is also a good 4-star light cone for Boothill since it provides damage and speed buffs.
Best Boothill build: Relics
The Thief of Shooting Meteor is the perfect Relic set for Boothill because it increases the break effect and regenerates energy for Boothill when he breaks an enemy’s shield.
Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations is a good alternative if you can’t get Thief of Shooting Meteor. It also increases the break effect but doesn’t regenerate energy.
However, you only want to equip two pieces of this, as the four-piece bonus can’t benefit Boothill in any way.
Best Boothill build: Planar ornaments
The best planar ornament for Boothill is Talia: Kingdom of Banditry.
It can increase his break effect up to 36%, though keep in mind that his speed needs to be at least 145 to trigger the 20% bonus break effect. you’re able to achieve that by having someone like Asta in the team.
Best Boothill build: Team compositions
With Boothill, you’re able to build teams focused on dealing break and super break damage. There’s also a possibility of a free-to-play break team that can easily tackle most endgame activities like Memory of Chaos.
