The optimal Light Cone for Robin is her 5-star signature Flowing Nightglow. This weapon provides one stack of Cantillation whenever any ally attacks, increasing her Energy Regeneration Rate by 3% per stack, up to 5 stacks.

Upon using her Ultimate, Robin clears Cantillation and gains Cadenza, boosting her ATK by 48% and the team’s DMG output by 24% for one turn.

An alternative Light Cone for Robin is But the Battle Isn’t Over. This 5-star option boosts her Energy Regeneration Rate by 10% and regenerates 1 Skill Point when Robin uses her Ultimate on an ally.

Best Relic and Ornament Set

The Musketeer of Wild Wheat set synergizes exceptionally well with Robin.

Relic

For Robin, we recommend the 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and 2-piece Prisoner of Deep Confinement combination, granting a total of 24% ATK bonus, which aligns perfectly with her kit.

Best Team Composition for Robin in Honkai Star Rail

The ideal team composition featuring Robin includes Feixiao, Topaz, and Aventurine. This synergy works excellently as Robin enhances follow-up attacks from her teammates. Feixiao should serve as the primary DPS, while Aventurine offers shielding and additional damage capabilities.

Pairing Robin with Feixiao creates a powerful team synergy.

Topaz contributes to follow-up attack power, while Robin provides ATK and CRIT DMG boosts, and Aventurine enhances the team’s capabilities with shielding support.

Alternatively, if Feixiao is unavailable, you can substitute him with Dr. Ratio while maintaining the rest of the team. Robin also synergizes effectively with Jade and Herta, as this team mirrors the strategies of Feixiao’s party, focusing more on Pure Fiction.
