Physical + hunt path + weakness break focus Bro is American Sushang
I do have Argenti but honestly I still want Boothill for his aesthetic alone. But even regarding his kit I really like the duel mechanic and I find that teams outside the standard ATK/Crit Hypercarry (so like DOT and breaking and such or even a FUA dual DPS setup) is a lot more fun. And hving fun is what's most important, right?

Slight misconception to Boothill's kit: His Enhanced Basic does regenerate the usual 30 Energy, similar to Blade's Enhanced Basic. The 'additional' Damage from the Bullet stacks, however, do not. Its another case of the Skill description being hella misleading like having 2 or more hits in basic attacks but the only time this is stated is in DHIL's basics while characters like Sampo with a 3 hit basic aren't mentioned. The 'Additional' part is important since other characters like Tingyun and Welt have this specific mechanic in their Talents, but does not regain Energy this way (Welt's E2 doesn't count). This is similar to Summon based Follow Up characters like Topaz and Jing Yuan who regenerate 0 Energy from Topaz and LL. In contrast, characters with Non-Summon based Follow Ups like Kafka, Blade and Ratio do regain Energy every time they use a Follow Up. Tl;dr Its literally ST Physical Blade Enhanced Basic with the exact same energy regen but additional instances of dmg if u got stacks.
TLDR: Boothill is going to be one of the dps in the game. He hits crazy numbers at E0 which makes him very F2P friendly considering that one of his BiS sups is free. He will probably be coming in the second phase so for you F2ps out there you should probably wait till Sam's beta gameplay is released and choose whom to go for.

I believe he will be OP , one of the most f2p friendly units to date. Mainly because of that channel hsr guides, started watching them like 3 months ago and everything they say is like 95% accurate even wayy before the character releases. Highest single target damage in the game, able to 0 cycle moc at e0, very flexible lcs, ability to implant physical weakness, variety of teamates , still not gonna pull but gonna be a s+ tier unit I think. Of course he will have downsides like when the enemies are too tough to break kinda like yanqinq.
Just found your channel, and watched this and the robin one and gotta say, great idea by putting a common doubt related to the character on the thumbnail bro, that's what led me straight to watching your Robin right after this one, keep up the good work!
Who cares how good he is if he's hot? In all honesty, we have to wait for official release because these videos are often a little away from how the unit is in live where people can property test them. Physical does struggle a lot compared to other elements, but so does every unit without proper investment and supports. Yeehaw can implant phys weakness which already makes him nice, you can put him against almost anyone, his toughness break on enhanced basic looks insane, HTB is free which is great already, Ruan Mei gets used in almost every team so you don't have to pull her just for him, other supports work great as well (i hope). Will he be op? We'll have to wait until he goes live, but I think he will be a comfortable unit for people that like him, which is me, I like him. I am skipping Acheron for him so he better be good or else! And from what I see so far he's good.

One of boot hills bis teams is extremely skill point positive so if you have it his sp issues aren’t gonna be a problem Unless htb energy rotations are weird and you have to use skill once every three turns
I mean I don’t wanna be a simp but if his light cone is hot I’m gonna pull for it like I did with dr ratio
I was too dumb so I just had to watch the pros and cons sections twice to get the relevant info haha
I'm saving all my pulls for him. Hoping for E2S1.
Tbh, he could just set run four piece thief since it still gives +32 break effect with the added bonus of getting 3 energy each time he breaks a weakness
A bit hard to understand your WORDS, but guess what, I understood the vid really well. Great work my dude! Keep it up!
His kit looks insane to be fair. I'm still torn between him and Topaz, but I have a feeling I'll sooner get him guaranteed than win a 50-50 on Topaz
Question would this Team be good fu xuan, boothill, harmony trailblazer, ruan mei? I dont have a physical dps For my 2 team im thinking acheron, silver wolf, sparkle, aventurie (hopefully win 50 50)

Boothill is SP Neutral (2 turns enhanced basic), his enhaced basic recharge good energy (more with extra bullets, three turns ult) but his follow up doesnt, basic enhanced does more damage than his ult. Boothill dies very quickly.

honestly yes, he with RM and without is night and day, thankfully his second BIS support is literally harmony MC so you already have half the work done for you, but if you dont have RM and arent able to/willing to get her on her rerun then Boothill as is rn is a though sell, no one boosts him the way RM and HMC does, his kit is still undergoing changes though so it might be a good idea to hold off for a bit to see how it ends up closer to release, just the other day his eidolon 2 got a massive boost and it seems theres still more changes incoming next couple weeks

In my opinion u should just pull ur fave, however meta wise: If you don’t have a good aoe/ blast dps for moc, then jingliu will be better If you have ruan mei, the value of boothill massively increases cause he wants to break enemies a LOT. So she is his best support with harmony trailblazer At the end of the day pull for your fav character in lore and in gameplay, boothill seems super fun, but if u struggle with content like MOC becauseyou lack AOE coverage then jingliu is good. You could also wait for firefly (fire destruction) she will probably be a better pick than jingliu
