All Boothill’s kit and ability leaks in Honkai Star Rail

Posts from the honkaistarrail_leaks community on Reddit

As specified, Boothill is expected to be a 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail. Although his kit details are questionable, he will likely be a Physical unit that treads on The Hunt Path.

Besides, X user Dimbreath has further hinted at Boothill’s potential Skill and Ultimate abilities:

• Skill: Triggers a Duel mode against an enemy, which increases his ATK and generates a Bullet when the target is defeated or afflicted with the Weakness Break effect. If the opponent attacks before either, they will steal the ATK buff instead. Once Boothill obtains five Bullets, he gains an extra turn and can unleash an Enhanced Basic ATK that shoots all of them, each doing more damage.
• Ultimate: Upon casting the ability, he deals increased Break DMG while delaying the enemy's turn. It might also make the target vulnerable to Physical DMG.

No further information is available about Boothill’s movesets as of writing. Moreover, the specified abilities are highly subject to change unless HoYoverse makes them official.

Boothill has a unique character design compared to any other 5-star unit in the game, as he wears modern cowboy attire. His aesthetic is incomplete without the hat and the gauntlet on his right arm.
