Summary
- A new leak has revealed combat gameplay of upcoming characters Boothill and Robin for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2.
- Robin buffs the party with ATK boosts, while Boothill focuses on single-target damage.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak reveals combat gameplay footage featuring two upcoming characters, Boothill and Robin. Both characters have already been confirmed by the game's official social media accounts, and they are expected to be released during Version 2.2.
Honkai: Star Rail keeps updating the pool of playable characters, with Acheron being the most recent addition as part of update 2.1. Even though the Phase 2 five-star, Aventurine, has not been released yet, numerous leaks have already revealed more information about a new set of playable units.
HoYoverse's official announcements of Robin and Boothill have confirmed that both characters will have a five-star rarity. Robin is a Physical user who follows the path of Harmony, which means that she can be a decent supportive unit and provide buffs to the whole party. On the other hand, Boothill belongs to the path of The Hunt, which is usually reserved for characters that have great single-target damage potential. A new post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit shows in-game footage featuring the two upcoming characters, Robin and Boothill, in battle against multiple enemies. Considering that Robin is a flexible support, many players in the comment section agree that she can be used alongside Boothill, who will fill the role of main DPS in most cases.
Honkai: Star Rail: Robin and Boohill Kits Explained
Previous Honkai: Star Rail leaks have revealed that Robin's Skill can provide a 36% ATK buff to all the party members, as shown in the video. The effect lasts up to three rounds, which makes it a decent buff that can be used frequently during a battle. Robin's ultimate disables all of her actions and provides various types of buffs to the whole team depending on her Eidolon levels.
Boothill's Technique effect will make him attack the enemy with the lowest HP and gain one stack of Reforged. These stacks can increase the character's Toughness damage. Boothill's Skill applies a Duel Mark on a single target, which allows him to perform an enhanced Basic Attack. One of the skill's passive effects makes him take reduced damage from enemies that are not affected by the mark.
Considering that the post shows in-game footage, it means that the leaks are most likely credible. However, HoYoyverse could still make multiple changes to the characters' designs, considering that Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 is expected to drop around May 8. As per usual, the two character releases will be spread over two banner cycles.
