Overview
Boombox is a support Phighter who specializes in controlling the battlefield with his intense knockback and shield-based abilities. Pulse Wave allows Boombox to knock enemies away from him and his allies as well as increase his own damage or the supportive effects of Shielding Amplifier through gaining charges. Protecting Overtone grants Boombox a forcefield that blocks incoming projectiles, allowing for better gap closing between his team and the opposition. His Phinisher, Raining Tacos, can turn the tides of the battle with powerful crowd control and granting his teammates an insane amount of temporary shields, making them nearly invincible for the duration.

Strategy
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
Boombox is a support Phighter that has a wide access to displacement effects and defensive abilities to disorient fights and tank damage for his team. The defensive utility of Forcefield and Raining Tacos can be used to gain ground or protect teammates. With correct timing, Raining Tacos can turn fights into a team's favor due to the shield granted to Boombox and his allies on landing.
This is offset by multiple weaknesses. Boombox faces significant difficulty in approaching and dealing with mobile Phighters due to limited mobility options and range in his abilities. At a frail 150 hitpoints, Boombox is dependent on Forcefield or Raining Tacos to protect himself, making him easy to dispatch if caught without them. His ultimate Raining Tacos has a slow start-up and is telegraphed. Enemies can avoid the AoE of Boombox's ultimate or kill him before he lands, effectively wasting it. It is not a feasible option for responding to burst damage due to the time it takes before Boombox lands.
Ability Usage
- Pulse
- placeholder
- Sound Wave
- placeholder
- Forcefield
- Position in front of your teammates to make the most of Forcefield.
- Forcefield can also be utilized to protect ranged Phighters, such as Hyperlaser in ranged exchanges.
- Forcefield's knockback on activation and reactivation is powerful enough to throw Phighters out of bounds on maps such as Rocket Arena and The Iron Cafe when given the opportunity.
- Jump Smash Move
- Use Jump Smash Move before Raining Tacos to gain additional height and damage for Q2.
- Pulse, Sound Wave and Forcefield can be used during the end-lag of the reactivation. Use it to squeeze in additional damage.
- Raining Tacos
- It is not recommended to use Raining Tacos at low health as there is a large risk of dying and wasting the ultimate.
Counterplay against Boombox
Ranged Phighters with any source of mobility can outrun a Boombox. Maintaining distance from Boombox prevents him from gaining charges for Sound Wave and doing damage with Pulse and Jump Smash Move. On smaller maps, the player should be mindful to avoid backing themselves into a corner/dead-end.
A significant weakness to Forcefield is its open 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 Forcefield, 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.
