Robinis an incredible 5-star support character in Honkai Star Rail who follows the path of Harmony and deals Physical damage.
The best thing about Robin is her abilities are multi-targeted, so she can buff up the entire party at once, which in turn can lead to some interesting scenarios.
The Halovian singer also boasts a unique ultimate ability that not only provides buffs to party members but also deals a devastating amount of damage to enemies.
If you want to add Robin to your trailblazing party, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we explain the best Robin build inHonkai Star Rail, covering details like the best light cones, planar ornaments, and team compositions.
Best Robin build: light cones
Robin’s ultimate is the most important of her kit, but you will need lots of energy to use it frequently. Hence, the best light cones for Robin are the ones that increase her energy regeneration rate, boost allies attacks, or both.
As such, it’s no surprise that the best light cone for Robin is her signature light cone, ‘Flowing Nightglow,’ which increases her energy regeneration and attack as well as boosts allies’ damage.
If you can’t afford Robin’s signature light cone, fret not. There’s another solid option named ‘Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds.’
Equipping this will get you one of the three buffs at the beginning of the battle, all of which are incredibly beneficial for Robin and her team.
‘But the Battle Isn’t Over’ is always a great option since it can regenerate energy for Robin and boost damage for one ally. However, to trigger its effect, you have to use Robin’s ultimate twice, which can be a bit tedious.
Lastly, there’s ‘Meshing Cogs,’ which is a surprisingly effective 3-star Light Cone that generates energy every time you hit a target or get hit by them. However, this can only be triggered one time every turn, but it’s still quite good at accumulating energy quickly.
Best Robin build: relics
Since Robin’s skill and ultimate depends on her ATK, it’s best to equip Relics that bolster that stat. Equipping four pieces of the Musketeer of Wild Wheat relic set is the best option since it can boost Robin’s attack and speed.
With more speed, Robin can get more turns and regenerate energy quickly. Plus, it will also help trigger the effects of the Planar Ornaments (more on that below.)
Champion of Streetwise Boxing is also a good option since it can provide an attack boost and raise your Physical Damage.
While the attack boost you get is slightly lower than Musketeer’s, this Light Cones makes up with the Physical damage boost, which Robin’s ultimate greatly benefits from.
Lastly, if you’re running a Robin DoT team, you may go with four pieces of Prisoner in Deep Confinement.
You will get the same attack boost as Musketeer’s, but having two DoT characters in the team will allow Robin to penetrate the enemy’s defense better with her ultimate and deal more damage.
Best Robin build: planar ornaments
For Robin’s planar ornaments, you’re able to go with either Sprightly Vonwacq if you want more energy regeneration or Space Sealing Station if you want more attack boost.
you may get an additional attack boost with Space Sealing Station or get your action advanced forward with Sprightly Vonwacq if Robin’s speed reaches 120. This is where the Musketeer relic set comes in handy, as it can provide the necessary speed buff.
If you’re running a follow-up attack team, we recommend going with Sealing Station instead of Sprightly Vonwacq since Robin will already have a decent energy regeneration rate. However, if you’re running a DOT team, Sprightly Vonwacq would be more beneficial to make the most out of Robin’s kit.
Best Robin build: team composition
Robin works the best in a follow-up attack team. A DoT team (consisting of Kafka and Black Swan) would also work, especially if you have Huhuo for energy regeneration.
Lastly, a free-to-play team consisting of Herta, Natasha, and any DoT or DPS character could also work with Robin. We have explained ourbest Robin teams in a separate guide, where we break down the perks of each team composition, so you may want to check that for a more detailed explanation.
That sums up our best Robin build guide in Honkai Star Rail.
