Summary

One of the core aspects ofHonkai: Star Railis its use of Paths, manifestations of universal philosophical concepts and one’s own personal beliefs. In-game, Paths act as a class system where characters are categorized into different roles and playstyles, such as the support class, Path of The Harmony.

Robin is a five-star Physical-Type character from the Path of The Harmony. Aside from increasing your team’s damage output in the form of buffs and teamwide action Advance Forward, Robin has the ability to deal significant damage of her own, thanks to her unique kit.

7She’s Easy On Skill Points

Robin’s Skill, Pinion’s Aria, provides an effect that will increase all your characters’ damage by 25 to 55 percent. This effect lasts for three turns, and the duration will be reduced by one at the start of Robin’s extra turn.

This Skill allows Robin to only use up a Skill Point every three turns, making her viable for more Skill Point-hungry characters and giving them more freedom to use their Skills. Additionally, since she doesn’t need to use her Skill all the time, she’s also great forgenerating Skill Pointsherself with her Basic Attacks.

5She Can Deal Damage During Her Allies’ Turns

This additional effect of Robin’s Ultimate allows her to become a secondary DMG dealer for your team without even taking action herself. The best part is that you don’t even need to build her with any CRIT stats as her additional attacks are already guaranteed to CRIT.

4Prioritize Crit Rate On Your Characters

With Robin’s Talent, Tonal Resonance, all allies’ CRIT DMG is increased by five to 23 percent. Moreover, Robin will generate an additional two Energy for herself every time her allies attack an enemy target.

Aside from increasing your DMG and ATK, Robin offers a valuable and rare buff in the form of increasing your characters’ CRIT DMG, making it easier to reach favorable CRIT ratios for your DMG dealers. With Robin in the team, you can focus on getting higher CRIT Rate.

3Use Her Technique To Avoid Combat

After using Robin’s Technique, Overture of Inebriation, she creates a special dimension around her that lasts for 15 seconds. Enemies caught within this dimension will not attack Robin and will follow her while the dimension is active.

This technique is great for when you want to avoid confronting enemies andfocus on exploring, opening chests, or progressing through a quest objective. If you enter battle while the dimension is active, Robin will generate five Energy for herself at the start of every wave.

2She’s Perfect For Follow-Up Attack Characters

After reaching a certain level, you can unlock a Bonus Ability from Robin’s Traces. After unlocking her second Bonus Ability, Impromptu Flourish, while the Concerto state is active, the CRIT DMG of allies’ follow-up attacks is increased by 25 percent.

This, paired with her additional attacks whenever an ally attacks an enemy, makes her one of the best supports to pair withfollow-up attack characters. Characters who are great at dealing follow-up attack DMG are:

1Enjoy Her Singing Voice While In Battle

After using Robin’s Ultimate, she takes center stage and performs one of her songs called Welcome to My World. This is a special characteristic unique only to Robin as she’s the only character who lets you listen to music in the middle of battle.

She’s able to sing throughout the entire duration of her Ultimate’s Concerto stage, and will only end once Robin takes her turn again. This has no effect on the battlefield whatsoever, but hey, you can listen to her angelic vocals while beating up your enemies.
