At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Boothill
- “Dust Devil's Sunset Rodeo” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Sizzlin' Tango” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Five Peas in a Pod” Each stack of Pocket Trickshot increases the Enhanced Basic Attack's Toughness Reduction by 50%—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- “Dust Devil's Sunset Rodeo” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Boothill focuses the elite.
- E0 without “Sailing Towards a Second Life” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Boothill wants Break Effect supports and Toughness bars that can actually be broken; into awkward weakness line-ups the Complete Combustion / Break loop loses most of its damage.
Seele
- Ultimate “Butterfly Flurry” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
- “Resurgence” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—cleaving a trash mob can snowball into another full Skill/Ult cycle.
- Skill “Sheathed Blade” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- E0 without “In the Night” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- Extra-turn and single-target Ultimate patterns shine on bosses but stall in Pure Fiction unless adds die fast enough to proc the talent loop.
- Spamming “Sheathed Blade” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Seele is often the SP sink.

With Boothill
Pela enables Super Break / Toughness pressure rather than a generic CRIT Harmony slot.
With Seele
Pela applies DEF shred / vulnerability so the carry’s multipliers actually land.
With Boothill
