    Maybe I'm mishearing but 6:40 he literally does have break efficiency in his kit though? Every stack of Trickshot increases Boothill's Enhanced Basic Attack's Toughness-Reducing damage by 50%. The best way to get 3 stacks is to break little mobs first then annihilate an elite this works with ruan mei or bronya or whatever action advance you have

      This take is bad considering it's Iyo the dual DPS guy
      Ruan Mei is a BREAK EFFECT HARMONY FIRST and versatile generic harmony second just like Robin for FuAs
      Smh
      Complaining that boothil isn't hitting big numbers without his ideal team is wild considering 1. This is an "issue" that is never brought up in Tier Lists because it's an addendum and fully accepted there and 2. Boothil CAN hit the massive numbers WITHOUT ANY LC ON THE HUNT PATH!!!! He isn't tied to LC or Eidolons at all for that damage! Dual DPS comps exist with him BECAUSE of harmony MC and because he is Physical LUKA of all people can act as a weird bleed/vulnerability support for him.
      The pieces for Break Meta have always existed it's just now we have TWO legitimate Break Support Harmonies that are making it shine. let me list characters just to prove how many there are
      Silver wolf, Asta, Sampo (yes sampo break is a thing), jing yuan, Misha, xeyui, Gallagher, serval, boothil, blade, himeko, herta, Luka, sushang, Fire MC
      So many characters that direct scale break or multi hit or have something in their kits that care about breaking
      Just because we only have 2 break effect supports (technical 3 if you count Gallagher) does not mean we will not get more or that future characters will not have things in the kits that directly support Break play style (i.e.enabling super break on their own or something)
      Complaining about boothil "needing" harmony mc or Ruan Mei is worse then complaining about DoTs needing Kafka like legitimately.
      Iyo you yourself didn't want use to make Acheron the new DPS Standard yet you are unknowingly downtalking Boothil by saying his numbers aren't doing the beeeg damage yet he is legit doing equal if not more then Dhil and Jingliu WITHOUT LC!!!! sorry bro but you are unconsciously comparing him to her
      Also this game is a team game so complaining that the Harmony MC/Ruan Mei is on a team where the main DPS cares about breaking is wild. If you have Robin/sparkle/bronya/silverwolf/pela that's your support for team 2 smh
      Heck even if you wanted to hypercarry BOTH SIDES there Re enough supports and debuffers for both sides
      Give it up man Break meta is happening if you want it or not (which you should cause it's literally dual DPS hell even triple DPS)

    not only he has weakness break efficiency, but he can also trigger break on weakness broken enemies without hmc. Ruan mei is still ridiculously broken for him, but not to the point that he is unplayable. He can stand ground on his own. The only problem with him and other **potential** break dps is that no matter how much damage they do, they can't do shit until they break the target. If they release a boss or enemies with ridiculous toughness hp, break dps will just do negative damage. Not only that, but the fact that you have to spend 1 - 3 turns to break an enemy sometimes means that they are at inherent disadvantage in terms of cycle-gated content like MoC.

      @@Kaien-qf6cr I'm in no way doubting break damage tbh. Mainly because in hoyo games, niche characters almost always tend to be really strong since devs overcompensate for their "weaknesses" compared to standard dps. Dot can be completely shut down by introducing enemies with billion effect res (you may say it's inprobable, but so is the billion toughness hp. It's hypotheticals made to signify weak points of a character's kit). I think that break dps is the best kind of dps if you don't want to do zero-cycles, as their damage once they break is absurd at f2p investments and they implant their own weakness making them "universal" as long as they don't introduce "this enemy is immune to quantum damage" type of thing.

  • @loneylowf8876
    @loneylowf8876 4 місяці тому +11

    Theres some stuff in this video that, although well intentioned, feels like misinformation.
    a) Boothill having no WBE. Boothill starts at 2 units, but gets 1 unit of toughness dmg for every trickshot up to 5 units total, thats 1 unit more than xueyi's ULT, and its on an enhanced basic so its more frequent. That being said Ruan Mei is still a BiS pick because she takes those 5 units and turns them into 7.5 which is essentially HMCs skill at HMC e6 if every bounce hit the same target, its ridiculous toughness dmg.
    b) Boothill doing no damage after weakness is broken. Boothills main mechanic is detonating BREAK dmg on weakness broken enemies. He deals up to 170% of his original BREAK to weakness broken enemies when hitting them with eBasic. You CAN run HMC with Boothill but its often REDUNDANT. And ill explain why (ill use round numbers dont quote me for this)
    Say we have an elite with 700k hp
    boothill does enhanced basic, hits 350k break and 180k superbreak for 530k dmg total. you still have to hit them 1 more time for 2 hits to death. if you didnt run hmc, youd kill them in 2 hits anyway for 350k+350k=700k.
    In this scenario HMC had 0 impact, 0 difference and ive seen this happen numerous times where boothill oneshots a target and HMCs superbreak DOESNT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO TRIGGER.
    The reason why Boothills own detonate is much stronger than superbreak is because
    1 - its break damage, not superbreak damage so it has the 2x physical element multiplier which superbreak damage doesnt have ( sueprbreak doesnt discriminate element types )
    2 - has higher scaling bcuz it scales on enemy max toughness up to 480, instead of the units own toughness dmg.
    3 - allows you to not run HMC. You get to run bronya instead and increase his atk, cdmg and dmg% slightly for a bit more regular damage too, and 2x his actions.

    People got to realize that boothill's kit is very deceptive. He looks like a hybrid dps that wants to build crit, atk and break effect when that is not really true. 80% or more of his dmg comes from break. So if you don't break with him pack up and go home cause you ain't clearing anytime soon. That is why you should only prioritize as much spd and break effect as possible any other stat is so minimal to his performance it might as well be considered a dead stat.

Breaking enemies has been a part of the game since the beginning whether to trigger bigger DOTs with Kafka and Luka or stop boss from using powerful attacks giving you more time to heal or defeat the enemy.

By this i mean (vs 800k hp eney) you do 400k break(+ detonate) +200k superbreak for 600k on an enemy with 800 then you attack again AND SUPERBREAK DOESNT EVEN TRIGGER because boothill's own detonation killed for the remaining 200k.
      Instead you could've use bronya for effectively 100% wbe buff and killed in 2 turns anyway 400k+400k twice as fast.

    I'm a new ish player, I thought most videos actually say break is highly f2p friendly compared to other comps. Is it weak moreso for high skill ceiling stuff? like break is easier to build than like dot which needs kafka, but the ceiling is much lower too?

    • @subtlesong8936
      @subtlesong8936 4 місяці тому +6

      Honestly, people say hyper break teams are f2p friendly because of a couple options. First, HTB is completely free and just requires you to complete the story and side quests for their eidolons. Second, your BIS sustain is a 4 star Galagher which hypothetically requires less pulls to get. Also, the echoes of war you need to run for mats also give break relic sets.
      On the other hand, you might need to put in more effort for your relics in order to reach certain stat lines. Hyper break also almost requires you to have Ruan Mei right now. HTB is also best run as a sub-dps rather than a pure support. But that requires enemies to stay weakness broken.
      Personally, I'd recommend hyper break if you love one of the break based DPS characters. While Ruan Mei is a universal support, the other pieces can be a bit niche right now. That's coming from a F2P who is building a hyper break team to pair with a certain upcoming DPS.

    • @isshonsaha8673
      @isshonsaha8673 4 місяці тому +2

      No, the only thing you need is Ruan Mei. Which you should pull anyways even without break teams because she goes into almost any team you can think of. You get both Harmony mc and Gally for free. Although I will mention that for Boothill specifically, Bronya >> hmc. Boothill already has a superior version of super break built into his kit and wants to kill things himself so he'd rather have Bronya give him his stacks faster and essentially double his damage over the 30-40% dmg increase you get from having hmc on the team.
      Break teams do a lot of damage but the floor and the ceiling are pretty close by because of how break effect works. The only way to improve the damage of break teams is to just wait for hoyo to release better break supports. If you've played Genshin it's similar to the hyperbloom teams.

    Boothill actually looks really fun, but I think my biggest problem with him is even though he can implant physical on ult, he's basically useless if the mobs dont already have physical weakness. He needs to build up his stacks and that process is incredibly slowed down without innate physical weak enemies. Other top tier dps you can brute force content and pretty much ignore weakness if your teams are good enough.

  • @Handlerhandlerhand
    @Handlerhandlerhand 4 місяці тому +2

    Honestly, i feel like the break meta still does not have its ideal support. HMC is the enabler for break teams but RM was made in the context of DOT, her kit is just great overall so she'll work anyway.
    I think the ideal support for break teams will need to cover both how fast we can break enemies(which ruan mei does) and guaranteeing that the team capitalizes as much as possible on breaks so i am thinking more of a team action advance passive after attacking a broken enemy plus some kind of robin's ult.

      Break doesn't benefit from damage buff, same reason why it doesn't benefit from elemental orbs. If fact, it doesn't even benefit from atk%. What Ruan Mei gives is spd, delay on break, turn skip, and efficiency., plus 20% break effect. That's where her power lies in BE teams.

    If I’m understanding it right does your complaint essentially boil down to the following:
    1.) BE is essentially hardlocked to both/either HMC/RM.
    2.) Boothill has a ramp up within a ramp up.
    For point 1. I largely agree, but it’s also pretty easy to see how they could add future break supports. The biggest problem is any future support for BE could easily break the game in all scenarios where BE is viable. Switching RM’s damage percentage for def ignore on Break or something similar would skyrocket damage in its own.
    For 2. Yeah, but thankfully as you point out that’s an issue largely for 0-cycles. I think a conversation worth having is how much does the BE team open the door for psuedo sustain playstyles? This should be a consideration when talking about its overall place in the meta.

    I don’t think the break meta has truly even started and that’s the only reason it’s not “ready”, but once we hit 2.3 it’ll have begun. Boothill and HMC are watering the seed planted by Mei and everything coming in 2.3 (iykyk) is the meta sprouting. It’s gonna be more versatile, especially because HMC and Mei will be peak together but will work separately with other partners (like Bronya, Pela, etc) and other sustains (especially Aventurine) will work in their own ways. Plus it’s inevitable another 5 star limited support and sustain that are break focused will come and take it to another level. Boothill himself has everything a break DPS needs in his own kit (toughness reduction enhancements, doing break damage on broken enemies, weakness implant) and who you pair with him just helps him do all of that but more. He doesn’t actually need anyone to do what a break dps wants to do. That’s why he works so well with other supports

    While I agree that we can get options that are more tuned to boothill like break effect buffers that have action advance or a super break unit with break efficiency built in, it's a bit of an astronomical take that boothill is lacking team options to make his break team functional and in NO means should you ever be maxing crit and attack without considering break effect or mans is transforming into physical yanqing.
    HMC is very replaceable with bronya just because you have the opportunity to deal 250-300k basics + about 110k super break, or you can double his basic attack damage and deal 150k more damage then that setup instead. (admittedly you'd prefer some comfort enhancements like e1 or s1 for bronya) Speed tuning also shouldn't be a hassle since you can very easily hit a bare minimum of 134 -142 spd on bronya thanks to ruan mei, and boothill has to be above that speed for talia.

    Sure you get even more by adding Ruan Mei, but saying that he should also do what Ruan Mei does with Weakness break efficiency is weird. He is not a harmony Unit.
    Another Thing you mentioned is that he needs Harmony MC because he wouldnt deal damage to weakness broken targets otherwise.
    Yes he does, his passive lets him Deal up to 170% Break Damage on a weakness broken target + On Top of all the Crit Buffs/Damage Buffs he gets from his Passive and mates.
    But lets say he wouldnt do that Damage, Why is Needing Harmony MC a problem? I see it as a Win that he needs Harmony MC as this Unit is Full F2P E6 and finally gets a real Hardcarry for the break Meta.

    He doesnt need much to shit so much dmg out. I may be glazing the shit oit if ny cowboy but i feel he rivals acheron. Sure he isnt hitting 1mils but acheron also over inflates her number on dead mobs where boothill's dmg ceiling is locked behind the mob hp. (Seen this dude hit kafka for 800k)

Also you said no super break but his kit has a stacking break reproc depending on your medals. While not explicitly stated this is super break since it’s based off the phys break dmg reproc, this is alongside him gaining more toughness break efficiency as he gets stacks.
    He seems fine, definitely made for AS with performance varying in PF/MoC as it is very volatile for new characters. But break meta is here and ready and cannot wait for you to change tune when FF drops because she is just a a brainlessly good unit in her current beta iteration.

You would need a really high speed(180-200 speed) with more AoE capability to stack super break targets to really want to run HTB rn over an AA unit. Thank you nonetheless!

RM is good but if I can't even break I can't really put her to use.

    I'm not so sure about your concerns here. Unlike Kafka who had no 5* DPS partners, Boothill comes out after Ruan Mei, who is already good enough for people to get when not playing Break Meta teams.
    Is Break Meta team in quite as good of a place as Follow Up Meta teams are? No. But everyone has HMC, and Gallagher is easy to get. Throw in Ruan Mei for the ideal support, and you've got a complete team with only 2 5*s. Boothill is in a MUCH better position than Topaz was when she first came out, when she had even less support than Kafka.

    Why would you be worried about the Break meta when Firefly is around the corner? If HoYo won't tone her down (and they have no reason to, people are crazy about her and she will bring them probably the same amount of money as Acheron), we'll have a character with in-built Ruan Mei, in-built Fire weakness application with every move, superbreak and weakness type ignore. Throw a real Ruan Mei and Gallagher there -- and it's over: enemies won't move ever since they're constantly broken (pseudo-sustain Firefly lol). It's sad Boothill suffer from being a Hunt character... again. And Destruction will most probably will on top... again. It's all still a subject to change but unless we get a lot of enemies with huge shields, the Break meta will be much stronger than old Crit (excluding overbuffed premium FUA team) and DoT imo.

    This take is bad considering it's Iyo the dual DPS guy
    Ruan Mei is a BREAK EFFECT HARMONY FIRST and versatile generic harmony second just like Robin for FuAs
    Smh
    Complaining that boothil isn't hitting big numbers without his ideal team is wild considering 1. This is an "issue" that is never brought up in Tier Lists because it's an addendum and fully accepted there and 2. Boothil CAN hit the massive numbers WITHOUT ANY LC ON THE HUNT PATH!!!! He isn't tied to LC or Eidolons at all for that damage! Dual DPS comps exist with him BECAUSE of harmony MC and because he is Physical LUKA of all people can act as a weird bleed/vulnerability support for him.
    The pieces for Break Meta have always existed it's just now we have TWO legitimate Break Support Harmonies that are making it shine. let me list characters just to prove how many there are
    Silver wolf, Asta, Sampo (yes sampo break is a thing), jing yuan, Misha, xeyui, Gallagher, serval, boothil, blade, himeko, herta, Luka, sushang, Fire MC
    So many characters that direct scale break or multi hit or have something in their kits that care about breaking
    Just because we only have 2 break effect supports (technical 3 if you count Gallagher) does not mean we will not get more or that future characters will not have things in the kits that directly support Break play style (i.e.enabling super break on their own or something)
    Complaining about boothil "needing" harmony mc or Ruan Mei is worse then complaining about DoTs needing Kafka like legitimately.
    Iyo you yourself didn't want use to make Acheron the new DPS Standard yet you are unknowingly downtalking Boothil by saying his numbers aren't doing the beeeg damage yet he is legit doing equal if not more then Dhil and Jingliu WITHOUT LC!!!! sorry bro but you are unconsciously comparing him to her
    Also this game is a team game so complaining that the Harmony MC/Ruan Mei is on a team where the main DPS cares about breaking is wild. If you have Robin/sparkle/bronya/silverwolf/pela that's your support for team 2 smh
    Heck even if you wanted to hypercarry BOTH SIDES there Re enough supports and debuffers for both sides
    Give it up man Break meta is happening if you want it or not (which you should cause it's literally dual DPS hell even triple DPS)

    This is probably just an early Kafka situation. She didn't seem super ideal when her only real partner was Sampo, but the more DoT characters came out, the better she became in the long term. Break only really has Harmony MC and Ruan Mei as options so it is in a similar zone of "good but you have to invest in a playstyle that's not fully fleshed out." Couple of characters from now, maybe by 3.0, people are gonna be kicking themselves going "Damn wish I pulled Boothill now that this crazy new Harmony character that perfectly compliments the break archetype came out."
    They could add a Sparkle type character that buffs Break Effect instead of crit damage, they could add a character that adds a second break meter that doesn't stun the enemy but hits them with the big burst damage when it breaks, they could add more ways for these break characters to function after the break bar is broken, and suddenly they'll become a lot more hype to use. We'll just have to see what the future characters look like.

Its going to be harder to market new sustains without much dmg as we already have quite a lot of great sustains that don't do much dmg already.
