==Overview==

'''Boombox''' is a support [[Phighters|Phighter]] who specializes in controlling the battlefield with his intense knockback and shield-based abilities. Perfectly timing {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPrimary}} allows Boombox to increase his own damage or the supportive effects of {{Abilitylink|BoomboxSecondary}} through gaining charges. {{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}} grants Boombox a forcefield that blocks incoming projectiles, allowing for him and his teammates to close the gap against the opposition. His Phinisher, {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}}, can turn the tides of the battle with a powerful crowd control, as well as granting his teammates a huge overshield, making them nearly invincible for a few seconds.

==Strategy==

** 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}}

* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxSecondary}}

**At maximum charges, Shielding Amplifier grants you a whopping 50 shield to your 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.

*{{Abilitylink|BoomboxE}}

**Position in front of your teammates to make the most of Forcefield.

* {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}}

**It is not recommended to use Raining Tacos at low health as there is a large risk of dying and wasting the Phinisher.

 

===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===

 

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.

 

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.
