Honkai: Star Rail New Hoolay Boss Leaked on Reddit

In Honkai: Star Rail, Speed (SPD) is an important stat for both characters and enemies. The higher the SPD, the more turns a character or enemy gets to act. Characters with high SPD can defeat enemies more quickly, sometimes in just one turn. Likewise, enemies with high SPD can hit players faster, making it tougher for players to respond. Since the game is turn-based, Speed is crucial to consider in fights.

Hoolay - The fattest boss in Honkai: Star Rail

A recent leak from HomDGCat shows that the new boss, Borisin Warhead: Hoolay, arriving in Version 2.5, will have a base SPD of 190, making it the fastest enemy in the game so far. The leak also mentions that Hoolay’s SPD will increase further as the fight goes on. In battle, Hoolay can summon Borisin Wolftroopers, a type of enemy introduced in Version 2.4. Each Wolftrooper on the field boosts Hoolay’s SPD by 5%.

Additionally, after enemies make six attacks, they enter a state called Moon Range, which raises Hoolay’s SPD by 80%. In Memory of Chaos stage 12, Hoolay can reach a maximum SPD of 380.

If these stats stay the same in the final update, Hoolay will be a very tough enemy. Players might need to go through two phases to beat it.

The leak also reveals that Hoolay is weak in physical, fire, and wind attacks. The boss will have a toughness of 240 and a total HP of 1,361,715. Players should remember that Hoolay isn’t the only new enemy coming in the next update; Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 will introduce three formidable new bosses in total.

When Hoolay’s boss fight goes live, fans should use their characters’ abilities to make the battle easier. Characters who can boost an ally's SPD, like Asta or Tingyun, or reduce enemies' SPD, like Dan Heng or Welt, will be helpful.

Teams focused on Damage Over Time can also be effective, as they cause damage during Hoolay’s turns. Characters with Follow-up Attacks may be especially useful. Yunli, a 5-star character featured in the current banner, has a powerful Follow-up Attack. You will have a chance to pull for Yunli and her special Light Cone until August 21.
