Robin VS Boothill VS Fuxuan VS topaz Which Should You Choose | Honkai Star Rail 2.2 

no

Yes… if the cons are “needs simple understanding” and “needs investment” like every character in the game… then his con in single target Really most people change their definitions of “need investment” to whatever is convenient in the moment as you can say anything “needs investment” Kit overviews are only needed for understanding the role they fill… but don’t really add much as you need the details of the kits… Boothill also relies are more stats than the standard dps making him easier to build especially since he essentially gets 2 crit main stat pieces due to his break effect getting converted to crit stats

@@KamiloYT So no character needs to invest in any specific stat tailored to their kit? This implies there are characters running around with any combination of attack, def, resistance, hp etc. No target stats to invest in. Can you give me examples of such characters?

@@hayseshouhda5730 there are characters that are insanely strong base level, think minimum requirements for a weapon in a different game. then there are characters that really shine at certain breakpoints, conditions, or everything maxed. if you have loads of resources and or prefarm so any character you get is gonna be max its not really an issue ever

@DCDragoCraft Tell me then, where is this 'breakpoint' for boothill described in this video compared to another character then.

I have used it on gfenshin around 3 times and I didn't get banned you might wanna give it a try

I wouldn't touch it anyway. Who really knows what they're doing with your info. Incredibly irresponsible for these youtubers to advertise it.

@ultimategenosyko @jaydamaso78 ive used it multiple times in genshin. its safe but it takes 10 - 30 minutes for ur stuff to come in so don't get too anxious waiting. afaik its similar to the websites that ytbers use to give genesis crystals to other players (and other players giving to ytbers to troll, i.e tuonto, mtashed). U just put ur UID and the paid gems will be sent to u but u can pay less because they are buying the gems for you through cheaper ways (i contacted customer support to learn about it and they said they are working with a hoyo staff who can confirm this is OK) but just go and see for urself

I was also having to decide between those two, in the end the choice for me was made when I remembered this is Topaz's rerun, once she goes this time she is going to be absent for a while. Robin will likely be back soonee than Topaz.

I would still say Robin, since it's harder to power creep support units and jade is coming soon who will probably be a good dps, likely better than topaz

@@aquamentai possible problem with jade is that topaz has this very specific niche for FUA teams, like kafka has for DoT teams, where she buffs the damage of FUA Jade can definitely fall into this niche as well, but as she will be a erudition character she will most likely fall into the role of a main dps for engame content like pure fiction Plus as I've seen in other videos about this topic, this is topaz rerun, we're no longer in the first year where there are less characters and therefore reruns of past characters happen more often and star rail releases 2 characters per patch, not just 1, so reruns of specific characters will only become more and more rare. Robin is releasing this patch, she does offer more general utility, true, but she also will have her rerun sooner due to her being a new character, so as someone who wants both characters I'll go for topaz this patch as I'll be able to pull for robin sooner than topaz moving forward Edit: also, important to note, harmony trailblazer is releasing next patch as well, while they won't be as good as 5 star options like ruan mei, they will be very useful for people who still don't have her. I have all the pieces for a FUA team, the only missing piece is topaz and a good harmony character to go along with dr. Ratio, aventurine and topaz. Yes, robin is a good option, but so is ruan mei and while I don't personally have ruan mei, harmony TB will be an amazing substitute for f2p players, as they will also give a buff to break efficiency and judging by their other 2 paths so far, preservation and destruction, while they aren't 5 star level they are still above 4 star level, kind of a 4.5 star level. So yeah, the pieces just fall in place for a FUA team, I'll be pulling for topaz now and robin in her rerun as I'm finally getting to the point where I have enough characters to do 2 teams for endgame content and therefore I don't really feel the need to pull every single patch

if you want firefly then go for firefly

Firefly is break as well I think so ...

@@DaNoobrobloxNoobIsBest i might actually swipe to get both at this point 😂

@@Miketation Swipe team stand up

I had a dream one night. I think I heard that firefly had something to do with break. Just my dream tho.

Go for Robin if you like FUA, as you have all your FUA units like Aventurine, Ratio and Clara.

How the fuck are you level 63 with 35 days in game………

@@RaidenKunii I started a new account and it's quite easy if you complete the main story and all the permanent events, not to mention, all the companion quests, chests, simulated universe, MOC and normal quests

@@AIA222-yu5ml yep exactly this, plus i am a bp player

@@RaidenKunii in addition to what the other commentator said, i also burned a bunch of fuel on trace leveling to be able to do pf and moc early, which i'm kinda regretting now lol

Def not worth it to pull for fu xuan lc this late

I'd recommend getting her E1 instead. She makes her team a lot more dangerous that way although, the s1 is really helpful in MoC and As a resort for uncanny punishment in Simulated Universe.

He's prob gonna be the best hunt unit

I just got to penacony but i think i'm going for him, space cowboy sounds like a fun character

Boothil does the second most dmg After acheron. And he is break effect based. Topass is weak. Only good thing about her is the little buff to fua teams.

Your character lean more towards topaz

Yes especially if you use both of them with harmony MC

If you already have Aventurine and Ratio your main prio would be Topaz 100% con competition. She's like the Kafka of FUA. There's already a lot of harmony units that work well with FUA teams, Robin is just the prem FUA support. Jade remains to be seen. In your situation I would wait until the last second to pull for Robin after getting Topaz just to see if Jade is worth it but honestly with so many good Harmonies, and Jade being an Erudition unit that will most likely implement FUA in an aoe I would be tempted to pass Robin for her and have the flexibility to switch out Ratio for Jade in case I wanted an aoe FUA carry for pure fiction or anything alse. That flexibility would be much more comfortable than a harmony that will forever NEED to take that team slot because there's simply no better option and then possibly regret skipping Jade when I want to use FUA but the content wont let me use a hunt unit like Ratio. At the end of the day if you see Jades kit and it doesn't peak your interest id pull Robin. Gotta look at the situation from a logical stand pint lmao.

She struggles with enemies that deal very heavy AOE dmg since it’ll drain her HP much faster since she’s reducing the dmg from teammates, making her get killed risky. Of course she has her emergency healing on a certain HP% and regain a stack (Max is 2) making sure she can stay alive longer. 1 stack, low hp, automatically use stack to heal herself and gain a stack, repeat (make sure to use ult to gain a stack and also heal a little to ur teammates) It’s easy to prevent but, If Fu Xuan can’t keep up the damage she receives and dies, then your team will struggle.

I don't believe I've ever seen my E0S0 ever die in moc, so as long as you build her decently she's fine

Aventurine has auto shielding u almost never have to use skill

@@yhwach1 Adventurine and Huohuo are the best 2 sustainers then 3rd is fuxuan . All of those 3 are s+ tier but the 1st 2 offer something more than just sustain

@@theteamxxx3142 yeah how do i build aventurine to male high dmg but also sustain perfectly

One question... I have Aventurine (he is my only 5 star sustain right now) and I was thinking of pulling fu xuan or huo huo. I wanted huo huo for my Dot team but Aventurine makes the moc super easy for me, right now I'm just struggling with the second half. Based in your fu xuan experience would you recommend her over huo huo?

@@coffee_and_cookies Both of them are great actually. If you want a sustain character just for your DoT team, I would choose Huohuo because her energy regeneration atk buffs are helpful for DoT. If you want a sustain for a very squishy team comp though, I would choose Fu Xuan because her damage mitigation really helps. At the end of the Day, both of them are great sustain, both of them can really protect your team. It just depends which play style you find more comfortable and fun to use, or which character you like the most based on their design or personality. If it helps, you can go watch RU-vid tips and watch each character's pros and cons, I recommend you watching Sevy Plays or Guoba Certified.

@@coffee_and_cookies if your team needs crits more, yes. She actually does not die in MoC even if you build her as a dps. (Same goes for Avent so I recommend not focusing def on him as well) Plus, she makes the monoQuant team available for any stages.

firefly and Ruan mei*

Goodluck then. I'm personally going for Xuan's E1 and a Boothill lol

Yes

Seeing as you have bronya already I'd go for Topaz probably, as robin will at least have a rerun in a couple of months and who knows when for topaz

oh and robin, which is even harder to pick cause hoyo put them on the same banner😭

Topaz n robin

But Robin better

from what i have seen Robin and Ruan mei are similarly good robin beeing slightly better so go for Bootyhunter or Firefly or Jade.

Go for fu xuan if you don't have any 5 star sustains

@@vii3601 I have Luocha and Aventurine. Fu Xuan would only be for Mono Quantum.

@@marcxangor4183 And if u have shit relics since she gives out 12% CR (Lvl 10 skill)

Probably new combat content will be for hunters, and single target characters will shine there.

@@Dayterias Yeah, I heard that too. Doesn't make the decisions any easier.

And since I rarely pull and only for characters that I like I have quite a lot of pulls

Commenting for an answer, I'm in the same boat had my eyes set on Fu Xuan rerun but Aventurine seems to be a very good substitute

@@LeJonathan I try to borrow fu xuan while doing mats hunting and I tried to have aven in the same team with her dude everyone survive hahaha the power of preservation

aventurine better and hid banner still up

Depends. If you want another no-death-guarantee for your other team, sure. Plus, she's the best at quantum and is a good crit rate enhancer.

​@@user-vh7cr7wc2pyou can literally auto battle the hardest stage of Gold and gears with just the 2 of them lol

She is cracked, just watch Chewyy's showcases. But i have one warning: Robin might be harder to play than other harmonies, but the reward is worth it. *TLDR* : Ruan Mei for Comfort, Robin for faster clears.

Topass was trash from the start. I regret pulling her instead of Jingliu

@@yhwach1 Topaz isn't trash, she's very good at buffing FuA teams. She's more like a Hunt/Harmony character. I don't have Topaz nor Jing Liu but if I were to choose, I'd rather go with Topaz because the more FuA team coming in the long run, the stronger she gets. Jing Liu's damage is really good, she's one of the best, if not the best DPS right now but that's it. DPS can easily be replaced unlike buffers or sustain.

@@fischlpfpcausewhynot6107 does she even do that buffing when E0S0?

@@yhwach1 Yes, The damage of your FuA will increase by a great amount thanks to Proof of Debt She synergizes with Dr Ratio, Aventurine, Robin and the upcoming character, Jade (She could also team up with Jing Yuan but I haven't tried it nor saw someone did it)

@@yhwach1topaz is still worth pull for her ability to track chest

@@Drip_Vader according to what I understood robin gives 50% team wide damage boost which is close to Ruan Mei and she share her attack she buffs attack which is what all dot characters need damage and attack am I understanding correctly ?

​@@EmmettDia actually yeah I was being extremely biased here for some reason after going over it again I found robin is not only on par she's slightly better sometimes

Ratio is way better than Clara. Topaz and Ratio is a good teammate Especially when u have aventurine

@@yhwach1 Thanks for the advice, luckily i got aventurine 2 days ago, so i think i will build for FUA team

@@yhwach1 Do you have any recommendation about Dr Ratio's relics and lightcone?

@@attarhabib7346 idk about lc but i think he is best suited with the follow up relics the ones from duke inferno set. But im not sure i havent build him yet

Hmm, from my pov (someone with clara and Topaz), I can tell you that Robin works with both of them, Clara is just more Rng than Topaz. Oh and please note that Clara’s counter mark isn’t a debuff, so if you want to do a team with Clara/Ratio with Robin, you would miss 2 debuffs to guarantee Ratio’s follow-up attacks. Topaz is less Rng, but if you want to do a team comp with Topaz/Ratio with Robin, you would miss 1 debuff to guarantee Ratio’s follow up attack. So you could bring Gallagher as a sustain to get that last debuff or you can go with Topaz eidolon 1 (which creates another debuff on the enemy)

Ohh and also, since all of the IPC’s characters seems to have some follow up attacks in their kits, you could wait for Jade instead of Topaz, to go with Robin.

Honestly, if you want Jade skip Robin only because they contest the same spot. Topaz is like the Kafka of FUA, without her, it still works but WITH her a FUA team is more effective

Not sure but topaz is worth it since she helps find chest locations

Ehh shes ok E0S0 her LC is a bit of a boost for her personal dmg but its very recommended for ratio teams and with her E1 and S1 you wont need a debuffer anymore for ratio comps allowing you to slot in robin/ruan mei and do lots of dmg Tbh I recommend not going for topaz if you aren’t at least investing into E1/S1

​​@@zerovking7629Doesn't e0s1 aventurine give enough debuffs to make that team work? I also have Aventurine s1 and my ratio is always on %100 prob.

@@zerovking7629 So if i pull for topaz lc for my FuA team with dr ratio i will be good?

@@zerovking7629do i need her lc for ratio team?

@@Koreachangsu Robin's ultimate makes me want to choose her instead lol it's just so adorable in game

yes pity is shared in the limited banners

@@seif.boughanmi8956 oh shit 🗿

yep your pity is gone king enjoy your aventurine

Yes

Yeah skip, new sustain coming

Ruan mei is a pretty big buff to bootyhill but not a must

I does but I don’t think you have to worry because ruan mei is most likely going to run aside Sam or after Sam so if you can you can get robin and save for sam and ruan Mei next patch

@@Oppriteshould i get robin or ruan mei

@@yhwach1 if you talking about which is better for Sam I say Ruan Mei because Sam scales off breakeffect

@@Opprite hmm but robin is so cool tho idk what to do😭

@@yhwach1 aye robin can still work but sadly I’m skipping I already got Sparkle and Mei so I’m all in for sam

I'm thinking about getting her but running her in a none FuA team could be difficult getting her Ult up especially if I'm not running HuoHuo with her. The 100% AV is great on top of the 50% Dmg Bonus but idk if I'll attempt her banner.

You still want Ruan mei over her in dot

Topaz if you don’t have her

Get Robin she has more value as a universal support over Topaz, they both make the FUA team great but Robin just adds more value to your account more so than Topaz.

@azelzzz9639 but how tf u run fua team without topaz?

Robin is more universal

I think Robin is better than Topaz at e0s0. E1 makes her more similar to RM, which is very underrated. She doesn't powercreep RM (idk if anyone ever will), but she does powercreep the other Dual DPS supports, and she's just more consistent.

You already have 2 5 star sustain units being Luocha and Aventurine and if you plan to build Jingliu you will have her, Ratio, and QQ with sparkle is basically a gacha 5 star. I would recommend running Aventurine with ratio as they compliment each other very well, as a start, moving Luocha to qqs and sparkles team because he is extremely sp positive and qq needs all the sp she can get even with sparkle and benching Lynx and fire mc. Ratio is a hyper carry and needs a buffer and sampo covers his debuff needs, and you wont need Lynx with Luocha on that team already. Over all, if you like follow up attack teams you should pull for Topaz and replace fire mc with her on Ratios team. Ratio, Topaz, any debuffer like sampo works and Aventurine is a very very solid composition. QQ (Or Jingliu if you plan on building her) with sparkle, another buffer or debuffer harmony unit and Luocha could be a very solid secondary team for you. For easy to get and build supports you could use I would recommend, Pela for Jingliu, she will greatly increase her damage with her res penetration and can get rid of nasty enemy buffs. And Tinggiun for Ratio so he can ult more and in turn get more FUAs and get the ball rolling for the team. These are just personal suggestions, I dont have all the details of your account so I cant give a very accurate course of action, just a general idea of what you should do. Considering the next few banners are Robin/Topaz and Boothill/FuX the most valuable limited character for your account would be Topaz. Objectively. Just my advice, but me personally, I pull what I like when I can because im ftp 2. So I neve actively pull for meta :P

Dont see why not unless Firefly has some insane critical counter synergy with action advance, which I dont think is the case.

Wha

@@KamiloYT Oh my bad I forgot this list is only 2.2 banners and not like a team build

if u have sparkle, sure but overall aventurine is a much better sustain for him cus sp positive

@@denmark6238 i do have her

Feel like HuoHuo is better for him just because the extra energy and attack

DanIL best sustain is Huohuo and Aventurine. Fu xuan is okay but Daniil trace gave you enough Crit rate so thats why huohuo/aven is more preferable

@@arumi9410 ok ty I guess I get aven

Nahh

Yes if you don't have 2 limited sustains. If you do, skip her.

@@WestProZ17 aren’t fu xuan and aventurine the only limited one’s? Gepard is on the permanent banner.

@@TuX3d0o They're only limited in being preservation units, luocha or huohuo are some other good sustainers

@@tossover6490 oh i got huohuo so I might be able to skip Fu Xuan is think

Yes. Robin buffs both Blade and Jingliu and advances everyone forward. The atk Is a bit wasted on Blade, but the other buffs Robin provides kinda make up for It, and you have Lynx Who buffs his hp.

@@davidm0355 eh Robin's attack buff also is kinda wasted with Jingliu since she has a hefty attack buff already due to her talent. They don't really have that much synergy in this team especially since Blade scales kinda badly with attack anyways.

No

Because she’s in 2.3 this is only focusing on 2.2 banners

But, you may got more CRIT DMG with robin. Your sam gonna be stronger😢

For real.

#So excited to get sam # - Will get powercreeped in like 3 patches, honestly do you really even need him when most people probably have DHIL or Jingliu by now.

powercrept in three patches? boothill's ult does archerons damage on single targets and you possibly won't get an easier/flexible hunt character in the future like him and well aoe is just a weakness for the hunt not jus for boothill

A little reminder that DHIL is trash

Dhil isn't trash and getting power crept doesn't mean anything anymore that's like saying a nuclear bomb is now a pool noodle because the hydrogen bomb was invented boot will absolutely shred through moc and most likely the upcoming apocalyptic showdown and thanks to his ult he's basically universal as you can fight anyone so go for whichever nuclear explosion you like I like a cowboy hat on mine
