Quick Links
Being a live-service game,Honkai: Star Railgets updated frequently, which introduces various new characters and enemies to the game. Some of these enemies bring unique mechanics to the table, and you only have a chance of winning against them if you choose some specific DPS units.
While a DPS unit’s value gets determined by the enemy you face, it’s completely different for Harmony units, asthey usually stay on top all the time. This makes it quite important to build Robin, a five-star Physical Harmony unit, properly on your account.
Best Robin Relics And Planar Ornaments
Unfortunately, with the current Relics present in Honkai: Star Rail,there’s no four-piece set that suits Robin perfectly. Due to this, some of the best relics you can use on her are a combination of two sets with two-piece bonuses:
Relics
Two-Piece Musketeer Of Wild Wheat
During Robin’s Ultimate, she deals extra DMG based on her ATK, buther Crit Rate and DMG for this type of DMG stay fixed. This leads to ATK being the most sought-after stat for her.
Both these two-piece bonuses give you some extra ATK, making them a great fit on Robin.
Two-Piece Prisoner In Deep Confinement
Two-Piece Champion Of Streetwise Boxing
you may also try to go for a two-piece of this set as it can provide her with some Physical DMG Bonus. However,this might not be too useful, and it’s usually better to just go for as much ATK as possible.
Planar Ornaments
Sprightly Vonwacq
Sprightly Vonwacq is the BIS (best in slot) ornament set for Robin as it increases her Energy Regeneration Ratewhile also advancing her movement forward at the start of the battle.
Combined with the movement advance from her kit, you’re almostguaranteed to have Robin be the first character to take actionin every battle.
Penacony, Land Of The Dreams
On the other hand, if you’re planning to use Robin alongside aPhysical DPS like Claraor Sushang,you’re able to use this set to get some extra DMG bonusfor them while keeping the Energy Regeneration.
Space Sealing Station
If you want to build Robin purely on damage to get as much value out of her Ultimate as possible, you’re able to go for this set toget an extra 24 percent ATK for free.
Robin Relic Stat Priority
While you might not have many choices when it comes to Relics while building Robin,you have quite a few for her actual stats. Most Harmony characters don’t need you to get any specific stats on them, but it’s the opposite for Robin:
Energy Regeneration Rate
ATK Percent > SPD > HP Percent > DEF Percent
Ideally, you’d want to stack as much ATK Percent on Robin as possible, but you can go forSPD boots if you’re having a lot of issues with her Energy regeneration. This will likely happen if you’re using her in a non-follow-up-attack team. The best-case scenario is to get some SPD on the sub-stats instead.
Physical DMG Bonus is mostly only viable if you have her on Eidolon six, but you can still use itif the rest of your main stats are ATK Percent.
Best Robin Light Cones
With the amount of Harmony characters released in Honkai: Star Rail,it’s not a surprise that Robin has quite a few choices. However, as you’d expect, her signature Light Cone tops the list quite easily since it’s tailor-made for her. Here’s the main reason for each Light Cone mentioned above to be good for her:
Flowing Nightglow
Apart from removing her Energy problems, this Light Cone alsoincreases Robin’s overall DMG in her Ultimatewhile also giving her allies a decent buff.
Past Self In Mirror
The Break Effect from this one might be a little useless on her, but theparty-wide DMG bonus and the extra Energymake it the second-best choice for her.
For Tomorrow’s Journey
This four-star Light Cone is also tailor-made for Robin, giving her ATK andincreasing her DMG after using the Ultimate.
Dreamville Adventure
Since Robin can’t use any abilities for a while after using her Ultimate, this can go wellif you plan to use her with DPS that rely on their Ultimatefor most of the damage.
Planetary Rendezvous
This Light Cone can be great, much like the Penacony ornament set, if you plan on usingRobin alongside a Physical DPS unit.
Carve The Moon, Weave The Clouds
Finally, this Light Cone is good for almost any Harmony characterdue to the variety of buffs it can provide.
Robin Trace Priority
HoYoverse games are known for increasing the paragraphs explaining a character’s ability as the game gets older, which is mostly because the kits get more complicated. However,Robin is a breath of fresh air among thissince her kit is quite straightforward to understand. Here are the general things you need to know:
As you’re able to see from above, Robin’s Ultimate is the most important part of her kit,making it the first trace that you need to upgrade. She also increases her entire party’s ATK during this ability, which is the main multiplier that gets increased with the levels apart from her own damage.
Followed by the Ultimate,you can upgrade Robin’s Skill and then the Talent. While the talent provides extra Crit DMG, it’s a lot less compared to the DMG bonus from the Skill. Moreover, you can’t increase the Energy she gains from other allies' attacks through these upgrades.
You don’t necessarily have to upgrade Robin’s Basic Attack, but it’sstill recommended to get it to level four.
This is mainly because youhave to use Basic Attacksto get her Ultimate faster.
