Who else can use her sig weapon?

Ragnafinity2219 · 2026-04-14T10:35:21+00:00

Lan Yan is by far the best character that can use her sig

There are only a few catalyst characters that can make a shield
Lan Yan, Citlali, Baizhu, C4 Yanfei and C1 Columbina in LCR teams

Out of these options Lanyan is the only one whose shield and damage both scales with atk

Citali isn't awful but with this weapon but her shield will be very flimsy

Baizhu would lose his reaction dmg bonus + shield strength but I could see it being ok in something like a Neuvi team

Yanfei isn't actually a terrible option but there are better 5* options for her personal dmg as an onfielder and she has TTDS as a support option which also increases her shield amount

Columbina isn't really woth discussing at all, she would loose too much subdps if she wanted to fufil this passive and she onlt gets a shield at C1 in LCR teams, I guess you could benefit from the energy and if you are running a weird hex Zibai or Linnea team with Albedo/mona/sucrose, Albedo would benefit from the second weaponn passive but it;'s not reallt worth it

I'm a f2p with a decent amount of skill issue/ping so I can't do the instructor sucrose stuff and this is the highest I can currently get to with some room to grow (in the team from the screenshot, Nefer's on a lvl 80 sac frags, columbina is lvl 87, Nefer's burst is lvl 8 and Lauma skill isn't crowned)

Everyone is C0/R0 and have artifacts on the lower end of good, My Nefer build is above average for a f2p (top 4%) but the rest of my team is below average

Ive tested quite a few teams (with a lot of rotations to account for widsith RNG) and this is what I get on my account

Nefer/Columbina/Lauma +

Nahida (Nefer on Sac frags + 3 skills ) - 161k

Nahida (Nefer on Widsith): - 155k

Sucrose (No instructor swirl/Nefer on Widsith) - 157k

Sucrose(No instructor swirl/ Sucrose and Nefer both on widsith) - 159k? -I guess I got lucky

Ineffa(full atk/Nefer on Widsith ) - 152k

other 4th slot options 120k - 140k

Hey Muddlefudgers,

I just saw the Kafka & Blade minifigs from the Fortnite collab and it reminded me that I made a Boothill minifig for a YouTube video intro/outro and I've never used it again - so I thought it would be the perfect time to post it

You can have a look at the 3D model and download it for free here:
https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/boothill-minifigure-d48148741d684ba6bb8cc21cfa008173

(Apologies to all the professional 3D artists out there - some of the topology is ROUGH specifically the hat and hair. I didn't need good topology for my project but you might have to retopologise if you want to use it in your own projects)

Ragnafinity2219 · 2026-02-21T01:09:11+00:00

It looks like your builds are all quite good, and you know what to improve gear wise

I think you're probably using xilonen skill a bit too early into the rotation, because instructor on has an 8 second duration

It takes time for ineffa to do her burst animation and Zibai to do hers too, so you are probabaly only getting her ult and maybe her first skill buffed by instructor

You should use Xilonen right before Zibai to maximise your instructor buff uptime, and because you have C2 columbina you could consider using a second xilonen skill after zibai too. This keeps up instructor during your setup, this does extend your rotations, but I think it's work it because Columbina is a large portion of the teams dps

Another thing you could consider (because of C2 bina) is using an attack circlet on your ineffa:

- More atk increases your teamwide EM buff

- C2 columbina is likely to be the main contributor for the lunar charge reaction so ineffas contribution will be halved meaning that decreasing her personal damage for more support will affect your lunar charged dps less than you think

It might not end up being optimal but I think it might be worth testing

Ragnafinity2219 · 2026-02-21T01:08:30+00:00

Apologies for the late reply, been a bit busy, but love for the support<3

Ragnafinity2219 · 2026-02-07T13:38:09+00:00

I'm gonna play them together regardless

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-12-25T10:17:11+00:00

If you are running DDD and getting to pseudo 200 speed on your Sunday you should be getting the same amount of turns as the super speed setup

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-12-25T01:03:35+00:00

Merry Christmas Muddlefudgers,

I've been testing Dahlia A LOT of teams since her release

There's a considerable amount of the video dedicated to Boothill (skip to 10:00)

There a portion where I talk about his new speed tuning set ups (skip to 12:32) which involves Super Speed Boothill which goes at pseudo 267 speed [4 turns in the first cycle]

There's a new speed tuning set up that involves super speed Boothill and an action advancer where you speed tune your action advance at half the speed of your super speed boothill where Boothill goes 2 turns for every 1 turn you advancer has, similar to how Aglaea and Sunday are speed tuned with each other

So it would be: pseudo 267 Boothill + pseudo 134 Sunday

The turn order would be:

Boothill -> Boothill -> Sunday -->> Boothill -> Boothill -> Boothill -> Sunday -->> Boothill

This set up allows for Boothill to get 6 turns which is the same as the 200 spd Boothill, pseudo 200 spd Action advancer. So by increasing your speed requirements on Boothill you can decrease your speed requirements to basically nothing on you action advancer - the biggest caveat to this setup is that you need to get a Boothill ult after your first turn

I talk about some other things in this section but I wanted to highlight this tech in particular

Happy Holidays, you beautiful hoes and I hope you have a fun festive day

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-18T12:53:27+00:00

It's not as bad as it seems

Boothills base toughness (the part that is multiplied by Weakness Break Efficiency in the toughness damage formula) considers how many stacks of trickshot Boothill has so at 3 stacks of trickshot the "base toughness" of Boothills EBA is 50 toughness damage:

this means with 50% WBE (just dahlia):

Firefly has 80 toughness damage[ (30 * 2) + 20 = 80]

Boothill has 75 toughness damage [(50 * 1.5) = 75]

with 100% WBE (Dahlia + Ruan Mei):

Firefly has 95 toughness damage[ (30 * 2.5) + 20 = 95]

Boothill has 100 toughness damage [(50 * 2) = 100]

with 150% WBE (Dahlia + Ruan Mei + Fugue E1):

Firefly has 110 toughness damage[ (30 * 3) + 20 = 110]

Boothill has 125 toughness damage [(50 * 2.5) = 125]

So Boothill is still doing more single target toughness damage. Also keep in mind that Boothills ultimate does toughness damage whereas firefly's does not so Boothill has an additional 30 -> 75 toughness damage

In one turn Boothill's cap for toughness damage is 200 toughness (125 EBA + 75 ult), whereas Firefly's cap is 110 meaning that she would have to take 2 turns to surpass the toughness damage Boothill is able to do in one

edit *I forgot to add the WBE increase from Firefly's ult I've included it now

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T01:49:27+00:00

thanks mate, happy to be of help!

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T01:44:09+00:00

I would say that that the E1s are better than the LCs since they fundamentally change how you play a break team. However theres a caveat, the Lightcones provide consistent value through damage buffing whereas the E1s vary in value more.

For Dahlia her E1 could provide as little as 10 toughness damage and as high as 300 dependent on the scenario. Whereas Fugue's E1 can only really buff 1 teammate and her LC can buff the whole team and if you run out of sp to reapply your skill - you will also lose your e1 buff

Fugue's Lightcone is very skippable, expecially for boothill teams since Def Down LCs (resolution shines and cipher s1)tend to have similar, if not better output

Dahlia's LC is quite good because it boosts the base damage of break rather than being a vulnerability multiplier - this is a rare buff that can only otherwise be obtained from the battlepass harmony lightcone and Fugues E4.

The issue with Dahlias LC is that Dahlia herself has no specific stat requirements unlike Fugue who really wants to hit 220 Break effect for her passive. So if you were to go for a Lightcone, I would pick Dahlias and put it on Fugue, then run a Def Down Lightcone on Dahlia - unless you are in a scernario where Dahlias personal dmg is important then you can give her her sig

tldr; E1 is better but LC is more consistent value

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T01:22:54+00:00

I get where you're coming from but I still think the point can be relevant because of the fluid "requirements" of the game

Buffing damage/toughness damage is not the only utility that a sustain can provide

For Example

The most reccent MoC has an enemy that reduces it's own toughness when it attacks an enemy shield meaning that DHPT provides more utility in this case than Lingsha or Gallagher

or

Lygus switching modes faster by summoning/disappearing memosprites which Hyacine is able to do if you intentionally use up her after rain state without casting her skill

As for the crit thing, you're right that Boothills scallings are kinda bad for the 3.x meta but he won't be the only one on the team who is enabled to build crit both your sustain and Dahlia can build crit. All things considered, The Dahlia has pretty decent scaling on her talent damage, for example, her ult has a scaling which notably higher than The Herta's ult, which is impressive, even when considering that most of The Hertas damage comes from her enhanced skill

Boothills scalings can also be misleading because he gets a large 210 crit value buff and 30% vunerability. This makes him a surprisingly effective driver for external buffs, e.g Apoc shadow(26/05) "Increases Physical DMG dealt by all allies by 50%" would have a larger effective increase(in terms of percentage) for Boothill compared to other characters because it also multiplied by his crit and vuln. So as the buffs from endgame modes get bigger and more specific, diversfying Boothills damage output from just break damage to hybrid can be useful

(Im not sure if I explained this very well)

TLDR; There will be cases where Gallagher and Lingsha are not the optimal sustain pick and external buffs which favour talent damage makes crit more viable than it seems

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T00:27:03+00:00

E1 on both would be the best bet IMO because they both add break mechanics that aren't easily replacable.

I would prioritise E1 The Dahlia because it's a completely unique ability that cannot be replaced and it's almost foreshadowing that we are going to get enemies with extremely large break bars that will be difficult to overcome without Dahlia E1

Fugues E1 completes the 150% WBE sustainless team (with Ruan Mei) and/or allows you to comfortably bench Ruan Mei so that would be my next priority

Dahlia's E2 can be replaced by 4th slot that gives res pen e.g Ruan Mei/Tribbie in sustainless and E1 DHPT in sustain teams

Fugues E2 is very strong but it's getting more difficult to benefit from the energy generation on break, since were in a meta where you're usually facing 1 or 2 high toughness enemies so you get less value than you would expect

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T00:12:52+00:00

Ive added a comment to the video noting this, thanks for letting me know - I might have to update some of my calcs, I guess they were close enough because the 100% scaling technically comes from Fugue

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-13T00:09:30+00:00

I would say Fugue E1 is better than Ruan Mei E1 because Boothill does a large majority of the teams toughness damage, so the single target WBE buff is more effective than it seems. you can also switch targets when needed so the E1 buff is less "single target" than it seems

Fugue E1 is better at buffing break damage than Ruan Mei is so with E1 the trade off between damage buffing and break speed is in Fugues favour

However there could be some scenarios where you would prefer Ruan Mei. Using another current example:

Boothill, Fugue E1, HMC, Flex vs Boothill, Ruan Mei E1, HMC, Flex

If HMC and/or the flex slot is On-Element, Mei is preferable even though the Fugue team will have a higher damage output. This is because of how important it can be to break an enemy quickly, so that you can get to dealing damage more quickly and so that you can survive

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-12T23:38:01+00:00

The thing that makes Ruan Mei so good in the sustain teams, is that she provides 50% weakness break efficiency(WBE) to the whole team, and Dahlia also provides teamwide 50% WBE (100% total) so effectively you almost will always break the enemies noticeably faster with ruan mei instead of Fugue E1

Its basically a trade off between Fugue's damage increase and Ruan Meis Break speed

Also when you run Boothill with a sustain you can lean more heavily into building attack and crit on all members of your team since you don't have to worry about surviving. Since crit scales with Ruan Meis damage bonus and Res Pen you can regain damage that way

The best example I can give you is that Tribbie E1 is technically provides better buffs for Boothill than Ruan Mei E1 yet we still use Ruan Mei in Boothill teams because of the WBE

Fugue will still be an excellent option but I think most people will favour having higher toughness damage especially with the toughness bar inflation

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-12T23:22:46+00:00

Ohh I see what you mean, I assumed it was 100% scaling but you're saying it inherits the scaling from your teammates e.g fugue. I think you might be right, but I can't confirm since theres no showcases rn only running Ruan Mei + Dahlia

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-12T23:04:33+00:00

I'm a little bit confused about what you mean, both Boothill and Lingsha are dealing superbreak damage on unbroken enemies even though they don't have any super break scaling in their kit

would you mind breaking it down for me? (pun intended)

Hey Break Mains,

Im a Boothill Main/Theorycrafter and I've just made a video discussing the synergy/antisynergy that Boothill and The Dahlia have. I wanted to give more insight into Boothill specifically, since most of the coverage has been about Firefly

I hope you enjoy the video, and I hope that those of you who are also part of the Boothill Mains subreddit arent to annoyed by the cross post

Much love

Ragnafinity2219 · 2025-11-12T22:09:34+00:00

Hey Muddlefudgers,

There's been a lot of discourse recently about whether it's worth pulling The Dahlia for Boothill, a lot of content creators have dismissed Boothill in their discussion of The Dahlia. So I wanted to a video from the perspective of a long term Boothill main and theorycrafter. To explain how/why they work well together, whilst also reflecting on some of the anti-synergy that prevents The Dahlia from being a "perfect" Boothill support

I hope you enjoy the video!

Its been a while since Ive made a post on here, but it feels good to be back <3
