==Strategy==
Line 122 ⟶ 132:
** 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 ⟶ 150:
* {{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.
**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 141 ⟶ 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.
