Abilities of Robin in Honkai Star Rail

Basic Attack – Wingflip White Noise

Inflicts 50% of Robin’s attack as Physical damage to a single enemy.

Skill – Pinion’s Aria

Robin’s turn will cause the duration of the 25% increase in damage dealt by all allies to decrease by one turn, lasting for a total of three turns.

Talent – Tonal Resonance

Boosts the Crit Damage of all allies by 5%, and upon allies’ attacks on enemy targets, Robin gains an extra two Energy for herself.

Technique – Overture of Inebriation

Robin generates a 15-second dimension that shields her from enemy attacks and causes them to follow her. While in battle with the dimension activated, she gains an extra five Energy at the beginning of every wave. It is possible for only one ally-created dimension to be present at a time.

Ultimate – Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique

Upon entering Concerto state, Robin prompts all other allies to take immediate action and grants them a 15.2% increase in attack based on her own attack plus 50. Additionally, after each ally’s attack, Robin inflicts additional Physical damage equal to 72% of her attack. This damage has a set Crit Rate of 100% and Crit Damage of 150%.

While in the Concerto state, Robin is impervious to Crowd Control debuffs and is unable to take any turns or actions until the state ends. A Concerto countdown will be displayed on the Action Order bar to keep track of this. Once the countdown reaches its turn, Robin will exit the Concerto state and immediately take action. The countdown operates with a fixed Speed of 90.

Traces

Robin’s actions are Advanced Forward by 25% when the battle begins during the Coloratura Cadenza.
Instant Flourish – While in the Concerto state, all allies will deal 10% more CRIT DMG when launching follow-up attacks.
When Robin utilizes her Skill, she gains an extra five Energy through regeneration.

Robin’s Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail

During the activation of Concerto state, the All-Type RES PEN of all allies in the Land of Smiles (E1) increases by 24%.
Afternoon Tea For Two (E2): While the Concerto state is active, all allies’ SPD increases by 16%. The Talent’s Energy Regeneration effect additionally increases by 1
Inverted Tuning (E3) increases Skill Lv. by 2, with a maximum level of 15. It also increases Ultimate Lv. by 2, with a maximum level of 15.
Raindrop Key (E4): When using the Ultimate, dispels Crowd Control debuffs from all allies. While Robin is in the Concerto state, increases the Effect RES of all allies by 50%
“Lonestar’s Lament (E5) increases Basic ATK Lv. by 1, with a maximum level of 10, and Talent Lv. by 2, with a maximum level of 15.”
The effect of Moonless Midnight (E6) increases the CRIT DMG of Additional Physical DMG caused by the Ultimate by 450% while the Concerto state is active. This effect can be triggered up to 8 times and resets with each use of the Ultimate.

The Optimal Light Cone for Robin in Honkai Star Rail

The most optimal Light Cone for Robin is the 5-star signature weapon, Flowing Nightglow. This weapon grants her one stack of Cantillation every time an ally attacks, and each stack boosts Robin’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 3%, with a maximum of 5 stacks.

After Robin utilizes their Ultimate, Cantillation is removed and Cadenza is acquired. Cadenza increases her ATK by 48% and boosts the team’s damage output by 24%, lasting for 1 turn(s).

If you are not supporting Robin’s Light Cone, we recommend using But the Battle Isn’t Over. This 5-star choice boosts her Energy Regeneration Rate by 10% and grants 1 Skill Point regeneration when Robin uses her Ultimate on a teammate.

For 4-star Light Cones, it is highly recommended to select Memories of the Past as it not only boosts her Break Effect by 28%, but also restores four Energy after each attack.

The Top Relic and Ornament Set for Robin

We suggest selecting 2 pieces of Wild Wheat Musketeer and 2 pieces of Prisoner in Deep Confinement for Robin. This combination is highly effective for her as it provides a total ATK bonus of 24%, which complements her kit that scales with this stat.

Relic
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2-piece: ATK increases by 12%.4-piece: The wearer’s SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
Prisoner in Deep Confinement	2-piece: Increases ATK by 12%.4-piece: For every DoT the target enemy is afflicted with, the wearer will ignore 6% of target’s DEF when dealing DMG to them. This effect is valid for a max of 3 DoTs.

The ideal ornament set for Robin would be the Fleet of the Ageless, as it boosts her Max HP by 12%. Furthermore, when her SPD reaches 120 or higher, it also raises the ATK of all allies by 8%.

Eidolon 2 (Highest Priority) – All allies’ SPD increases by 16%.

Optimal Team Composition for Robin in Honkai Star Rail

A great team to include Robin on would consist of Dr. Ratio, Topaz, and Aventurine. This team setup is ideal as Robin’s energy regeneration is triggered by ally attacks, making them a perfect fit for a team that specializes in follow-up attacks.

Furthermore, Topaz has the ability to enhance the strength of subsequent attacks, while Robin can boost ATK and CRIT DMG. Finally, Aventurine can offer additional buffs while also protecting the party with a shield.

Alternatively, you could form a DoT team with Robin, Kafka, Black Swan, and Huohuo. Robin’s Ultimate has the ability to grant characters an additional turn, which can result in more enemies being affected by DoTs.

Pros and Cons of Using Robin in Honkai Star Rail

Pros	Cons
ATK and CRIT DMG buffs	No Skill Point regeneration like Sparkle
Advancing forward actions	Reliance on multiple follow-up attack characters

Should you pull for Robin in Honkai Star Rail?

Considering her ATK and CRIT DMG buffs, we strongly suggest pulling for Robin. Additionally, her Ultimate has the ability to grant Immediate Action to all allies, making her a valuable asset in game modes like Pure Fiction where turns are restricted.

If you currently have Bronya or Sparkle on your team, you may not want to add Robin to your lineup as they possess comparable abilities in initiating actions. However, if you do not have either character, it would be beneficial to summon Robin as she is a strong Harmony unit to have on your team.
