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.
Sushang
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Dancing Blade” When an enemy has their Weakness Broken on the field, Sushang's SPD increases by 22.5% for 2 turn(s)—ignore it and Sushang plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Sushang focuses the elite.
- As a 4★ The Hunt unit, Sushang is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Sushang is often the SP sink.
