B tier (Good with a plan)

Repair Toolbox stacks 15% ATK twice while Pressure is being spent, so the spin buffs itself as it runs, and damage taken drops by 50% for as long as it lasts. Her Ultimate and Tactical Assault nodes carry the highest Break Exploit total on the roster, twice Lorin's. Building stun and building her own damage from one resource means a team around her needs no second poise breaker, and that fourth slot is worth more than the raw numbers suggest. She leans hard on crit, so she wants real gear before she pays out.

About Captain Kaboom

"Captain Kaboom reporting for duty! Repairs, burnt fuse boxes, broken stoves, bad guys, you name it!" The Kaboom Team are akin to a hive of industrious bees, buzzing tirelessly around Silvernia's Spinotrodes. They never turn down fresh milk and a coin or two for their purses, but most of all they treasure the companionship of their beloved Kaboom Team fellows. Children without a home, they often gather together, singing their motto as one: 'Mind for shocks, check the cables; keep things clean; activate once stable!' Revealed as a Technician of the United Mining Industry and a Radiatio Break Suppressor with a Saviour identity. Her Wrench kit builds Pressure and Maximum Current to fuel her Charged Attacks and balloon skills.

In the Dichotomy Beta build, Captain Kaboom appears only briefly, bounding in with her signature line, 'Captain Kaboom reporting for duty! Repairs, burnt fuse boxes, broken stoves, bad guys, you name it!' before heading off to fieldwork.

How to play Captain Kaboom

A poise breaker built to carry. Her kit raises her own damage as well as building stun, so she can anchor a team rather than support one. Pressure fuels spinning charge attacks that stun, damage, and build Radiatio resonance at once.

Difficulty: moderateField time: on-field carryResource loop: Maximum Current into PressureBuilt-in parry
  1. 1

    Run the Basic Attack combo to build Pressure

    The 4th hit grants by far the most

  2. 2

    Press Skill for Captain's Ambush at full Maximum Current

    The balloon attack adds a large chunk of Pressure on top

  3. 3

    Spend Pressure on the Charged Attack

    The spinning attacks stun, damage, and build Radiatio resonance together, and the Passive grants ATK each time Pressure is consumed

  4. 4

    Parry mid-spin when attacked

    Blocks the hit without ending the sequence

  5. 5

    Press Ultimate for Explosive Bear

    A single large hit of both damage and stun

Best Implements for Captain Kaboom

Implement stats are fixed rather than rolled, so a set is a decision you make once. The short answer is Cogs of the City. See the equipment guide for how the four slots and the Epiphany fit together.

4 piecesBreak Exploit +60

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When the character's Break Exploit exceeds 200, they also gain 25% Stun Buildup Bonus for 14s whenever they perform a Charged Attack.

Why Captain Kaboom: Pressure fuels spinning charge attacks that stun and damage at once, which is precisely the trigger here: past 200 Break Exploit, every Charged Attack adds Stun Buildup for 14 seconds.

Hey, Jack

Alternative
4 piecesStun Buildup Bonus +25%

Increases the holder's Stun Buildup Bonus by 25%. When the character's Stun Buildup Bonus exceeds 100%, landing a Basic Attack on an enemy or performing a Perfect Dodge grants 1 or 3 stacks of All In respectively. Each stack of All In increases their Charged DMG by 3% for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

Why Captain Kaboom: Her parry is built into the charge attack, so Perfect Dodges land often, and each one grants three stacks of All In to raise the Charged DMG she carries with.

Best Epiphany for Captain Kaboom

One Epiphany per character, and the effect never changes: duplicates raise the substats and leave the effect text alone. The short answer is Death of a Clerk. See the equipment guide for where the slot sits, or all 30 Epiphanies.

Death of a Clerk, a Lv.60 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 60ATK % +24%

Increases the holder's Radiatio DMG by 10%. They gain 1 stack of Fatal Shadow when dealing DMG. Each stack of Fatal Shadow increases CRIT DMG by 25% for 10s, stacking up to 5 times.

Why Captain Kaboom: Radiatio-locked, and Fatal Shadow stacks on any damage dealt rather than on a specific button. Five stacks is 125% CRIT DMG, which suits a breaker whose Pressure spin already builds stun and damage in the same attack.

White Beast of the Deep, a Lv.60 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 60Break Exploit +120

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When their Break Exploit exceeds 180, each 1 point of Break Exploit over 180 grants 0.15% DMG Bonus, up to a maximum of 30%.

Why Captain Kaboom: The Break Exploit line that pays in DMG Bonus rather than more stun. Pick it when the team already has enough Stun Buildup and she is being asked to carry.

Team Synergies

Poise breaker that doubles as a crit carry

Strengths

  • Builds stun and her own damage from the same resource, so she can headline a team
  • Parry is built into the charge attack
  • Frees the fourth slot, since a team built around her needs no second poise breaker

Weaknesses

  • Crit-dependent, so she needs the gear and the buffs to reach her ceiling
  • No Radiatio support exists beyond Firtho

Best partners

Firtho

The only Radiatio pairing available, so Firtho's team Radiatio damage bonus is not wasted, and she heals through the on-field time Kaboom needs.

Red Rose

Kaboom's damage leans heavily on crit, so a CRIT DMG buffer serves her better than another poise breaker would.

Hugin

Both scale on crit, so one set of crit buffs covers both, and the Gravity Field holds targets in place for her spinning attacks.

Pro Tip: Check the team building guide for how the four slots, attribute sharing, and the Power budget fit together.
