**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.

===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.
