==Strategy==
Line 108 ⟶ 117:
|
* Versatile support, with charge allowing for greater offense and defense simultaneously
* RainingShield Tacosof {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}} can deny enemy Phinishers
* Can provide large shields to protect teammates
* Knockback on abilities helps counter melee Phighters
|
* High skill floor due to {{PAGENAME}}'s passive
* Low hitpoints
* PoorLow range
* Long Phinisher cast animation
}}
Line 119 ⟶ 128:
Boombox excels when he can consistently hit his Charging Blitz. Not only does it give anyone around him a 25% speed boost, but it also allows him to constantly deal damage and then bring his team's shields back up. Boombox is best played around his team or at least one teammate.
 
===Ability Usageusage===
* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPassive}}
** Charges stay even if you stop hitting Charging Blitz unless you die, so you can use other abilities to create combos with Pulse Wave and Shielding Amplifier.
* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPrimary}}
** At maximum charges, hitting Pulse Wave will deal 1614 total damage per hit, which can make enemies lose health quicker than expected.
* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxSecondary}}
** Even without charges, you can use Shielding Amplifier for 1510 shield to escape tricky situations.
**At maximum charges, Shielding Amplifier grants you a whopping 50 shield to yourself andyour teammates, allowing your team to last longer in battles.
* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxQ}}
**Bass Boost's and Beat Drop's pull and knockback respectively may disorient enemies if used quickly.
**Use Bass Boost before Raining Tacos to gain additional height and damage for Q2.
**Bass Boost's initial pull can force enemies into [[Map Elements#Killbricks|killbricks]].
**Recasting Bass Boost on a slope will launch the player in the direction of the slope, useful for quick escapes or to close distance rapidly.
**After recasting, {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPrimary}}, {{Abilitylink|BoomboxSecondary}} or {{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}} can be used to squeeze in extra damage.
**Utilizing {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}} at the peak of the first jump will make you harder to hit.
*{{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}}
**Position in front of your teammates to make the most of Forcefield.
Line 136 ⟶ 149:
**Pulse, Sound Wave and {{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}} can be used during the end-lag of the reactivation. Use it to squeeze in additional damage.
* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}}
**It is not recommended to use Raining Tacos at low health as there is a large risk of dying and wasting the phinisherPhinisher.
**Similarly to {{Abilitylink|MedkitPhinisher}}, this can be used to save your team from dangerous situations (such as [[Subspace|Subspace's]] {{Abilitylink|SubspacePhinisher}}).
 
===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===
Line 142 ⟶ 156:
 
A significant weakness to {{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}} is its lack of aerial coverage and semi-cylinder shape. Ranged Phighters such as [[Rocket]] or [[Slingshot]] can take up a higher elevation and damage Boombox and his teammates without issue. In addition, shield piercing and AoE damage can pass through the forcefield. Without {{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}}, Boombox is frail and can be taken out from the fight with ease.
Furthermore, recasting {{Abilitylink|BoomboxQ}} leaves Boombox vulnerable on the ground for a few seconds, giving opportunities for other Phighters to land powerful attacks during the downtime such as [[Sword|Sword's]] {{Abilitylink|SwordE}} or [[Skateboard|Skateboard's]] {{Abilitylink|SkateboardSecondary}}.
 
Raining Tacos is extremely telegraphed and risky to use in the middle of a teamfight. The player should take a moment to kill any Boombox attempting to use it at low health. Ranged Phighters with hitscan projectiles such as [[Hyperlaser]] and [[Slingshot]] have the opportunity to shoot down the mid-air Boombox. If Boombox is too healthy to kill in this state, the best option is to back out or seek high-ground to avoid the damage.
