Which Honkai Star Rail Boothill construction is the best?

Boothill employs the physical element and follows the Hunt route. As a Hunt character, his primary objective is to do heavy damage to a single adversary at a time by trapping them in a fight. No matter which team you place Boothill on, he is your DPS.

Sailing Towards a Second Life, Boothill's trademark light cone, fits his kit well and is his best in slot. We advise acquiring plenty of attack and break-effect increasing relics, such as the Talia Kingdom of Banditry two-piece planar ornament set and the Thief of Shooting Meteor set.Keep in mind that Boothill receives more damage during a standoff, thus it's a good idea to have a healer or shielder on his squad.

How is Boothill used?

Since Boothill is a DPS, you should utilize all available buffers to maximize his damage output. Boothill may be locked into a standoff with a single character by employing his fighting talent, which ends when he vanquishes the target.

Which light cones work best for Boothill?

Sailing Towards A Second Life is the greatest light cone for Boothill. It is his distinctive five-star product. There are several excellent choices that go well with his outfit if you're not rooting for him.

Light cone	Effect	How to obtain
Sailing Towards A Second Life (five-star)	Increases Boothill’s break effect by 60%. The break damage dealt by him ignores 20% of the target’s defense. When his break effect – in battle – is 150% or higher, his speed increases 12%	Light cone banner (alongside Boothill)
Cruising in the Stellar Sea (five-star)	Increases Boothill’s crit rate by 8%, and increases his crit rate against enemies with 50% or less HP by a further 8%. When he defeats an enemy, his attack increases 20% for two turns	Purchase from Herta’s Store

Adversarial (three-star)	When Boothill defeats an enemy, he gains a 10% speed increase for two turns. Note that it’s best to use an R5 version of this cone	All banners

Which relics are the finest for Boothill?

As Boothill's talents scale off of attack and break impact, these should be your main priorities when searching for relics. A complete set of Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge or Thief of Shooting Meteor is what we advise., or if you're having trouble finding a decent set (don't worry, we're not either), you may choose two two-piece sets of various styles.

Feel free to mix and match, but the four-piece buffs aren't very useful on Boothill, even if the two-piece boosts for Watchmaker and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace are fantastic.

Relic	Effect	How to obtain
