I doubt Mihoyo will ever allow the Trailblazer to have an explicitly romantic relationship with anyone, so I'm not sure how much of a real consideration that is going to be. They're more likely going to keep it ambiguous with Firefly, despite all the flirting.

Firefly very much has the vibe of "love interest the shonen MC meets in an original movie and promptly forgets about once the movie's over," so that tracks with me.

Depending on how he is I can just put the relics I've already levelled for Sushang onto him. So that's neat.

His kit description is still very vague but he's supposedly gonna be a Break-focused character.

His skill triggers a standoff with a targeted enemy; if the enemy is killed or broken before they move, he gets an ATK buff and a "bullet", but if the enemy attacks before then they get the buff instead. Once he gets 5 bullets his BA is enhanced and he gets an extra turn. Presumably there's gonna be a faster/more convenient way for him to accumulate bullets though, as it is it sounds slow and clunky. His Ultimate supposedly does increased Break damage and delays the enemy turn. There's also something about the Ultimate making the enemy "vulnerable to physical damage" but it's unclear if this is just a Phys RES debuff or a weakness implant.

e: Scratch that, new info just dropped (by a leaker who said Boothill's gonna be in 2.2 instead of Sam, so seems to be more reliable) that Boothill can implant Physical weakness. Which makes sense if he's got a Break gimmick.

2.2 looking like a full skip unless Luocha gets rerun. He pretty much needs to be run before or during Sam's banner.

I'm sure Sam will be fine with most sustains, especially healers. It's just a safe bet that Luocha will get a rerun near Sam because a reactive healer is the best option for self-harm characters.

How are you going to release a gunfighter character called boothill and not give him a cowboy hat? I'd also prefer he punctuate his sentences by firing his six shooters in the air, but I get that's asking a bit too much

Remember that he's only showing up now because Mihoyo has given up this aspect of the fight with leakers - if they didn't post this thing on twitter when they did, leakers would just throw media with him up 5 seconds after the 2.2 beta data was distributed. This way they get back a bit of control of the hype machine.

What it means in practice is he could show up in either 2.1 or 2.2's MSQ or event quests and he'd still technically be premiering before his banner shows up.

I don't know about that, but regardless, money spent in this type of game shouldn't be viewed as a long term thing anyway. There's always stronger characters or new gimmicks being released. Or maybe you'll just lose interest in the game in favor of a different one. Any value you get out of spending now is in the fun you get from spending now and having the characters now, and it should absolutely not be viewed as some kind of investment.

Probably a good idea to remember that all of these games will reach EOS someday anyway and not to spend more than you'd spend if it were a monthly subscription or something. Unless you're just super frivolous about spending hobby money in general, in which case have fun.
