What Are Bangboo?

Combat Buddy

Bangboo are AI companions that provide passive bonuses and active skills during combat. They trigger automatically based on chain attacks and provide element-specific bonuses.

Element Synergy

Each Bangboo has an element type. Having 2+ agents of the same element on your team activates the Bangboo's chain attack, which deals damage and applies Anomaly buildup.

How to Choose a Bangboo

Priority 1: Element Match

Match the Bangboo's element to your team. If 2+ agents share an element, pick that element's Bangboo to activate its chain attack.

If your team has mixed elements, pick a Universal Bangboo. Paperboo for more damage, Bulletoo for CRIT teams, Devilboo for survivability.

FAQ

Do Bangboo matter for team damage?

Yes, but less than agents. A well-matched Bangboo can contribute 5-10% of your team's damage through chain attacks and Anomaly buildup. The element match is more important than the Bangboo's tier.

Which Bangboo is best for Promeia?

Penguinboo (Ice) is the best match for Promeia's freeze teams. It provides additional Ice DMG and freeze buildup, accelerating Promeia's shatter cycles.

Should I pull for Bangboo or save Boopons?

Boopons are Bangboo-only currency. You can't use them on agents. Pull for the element-matching Bangboo for your main team first, then save for future releases.
