Robin abilities in Honkai Star Rail
Basic ATK – Wingflip White Noise
Deals Physical damage equal to 50% of Robin’s attack to a single enemy.
Skill – Pinion’s Aria
Increase damage dealt by all allies by 25%, lasting for three turns. This duration decreases by one at the start of Robin’s turn.
Talent – Tonal Resonance
Increases all allies’ Crit Damage by 5%, and after allies attack enemy targets, Robin regenerates an additional two Energy for herself.
Technique – Overture of Inebriation
Robin creates a dimension that lasts for 15 seconds, and enemies within this dimension will not attack Robin, following her while the dimension is active. After entering battle with the dimension active, Robin regenerates an additional five Energy at the start of each wave. Only one dimension created by allies can exist at a time.
Ultimate – Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique
Robin enters the Concerto state, making all other allies immediately take action, and increases all allies’ attack by 15.2% of Robin’s attack plus 50. Also, after every attack by allies, Robin deals additional Physical damage equal to 72% of her attack one time. The Crit Rate for this damage is set at 100% and Crit Damage is set at 150%.
When in the Concerto state, Robin is immune to Crowd Control debuffs and can’t take a turn or action before the Concerto state ends. A Concerto countdown appears on the Action Order bar to track this. When the countdown’s turn begins, Robin exits the Concerto state and immediately takes action. The countdown has its own fixed Speed of 90.
Traces
- Coloratura Cadenza – When the battle begins, Robin’s action is Advanced Forward by 25%.
- Impromptu Flourish – While in the Concerto state, all allies’ CRIT DMG dealt when launching follow-up attacks increases by 10%.
- Sequential Passage – When using her Skill, Robin regenerates an additional five Energy.
Robin Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail
- Land of Smiles (E1): While the Concerto state is active, all allies’ All-Type RES PEN 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): Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.

The effect of Moonless Midnight can trigger up to 8 time(s). And the trigger count resets each time the Ultimate is used.
Best Light Cone for Robin in Honkai Star Rail
The best Light Cone for Robin is her 5-star signature Flowing Nightglow. This weapon causes her to gain one stack of Cantillation whenever any ally attacks. Each stack of Cantillation increases Robin’s Energy Regeneration Rate by 3%, up to 5 stacks.
After Robin uses their Ultimate, it removes Cantillation and gains Cadenza. Cadenza improves her ATK by 48% and the team’s DMG output by 24%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
We suggest running But the Battle Isn’t Over if you aren’t pulling for Robin’s Light Cone. This 5-star option increases her Energy Regeneration Rate by 10% and regenerates 1 Skill Point when Robin uses her Ultimate on an ally.
As for 4-star Light Cones, we recommend picking Memories of the Past to both increase her Break Effect by 28% and regenerate four Energy after she attacks.
Best Relic and Ornament set for Robin
We recommend choosing 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and 2-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement for Robin. This combination works great for Robin with the combined 24% ATK bonus due to her kit scaling on the 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 Ornament set you should pick for Robin is Fleet of the Ageless. This increases Robin’s Max HP by 12%. Additionally, when her SPD reaches 120 or higher, all allies’ ATK increases by 8%.

Best team comp for Robin in Honkai Star Rail
The best team to have Robin on would be alongside Dr. Ratio, Topaz, and Aventurine. This composition works well because Robin regenerates energy each time an ally attacks. Therefore, a team focused on follow-up attacks would be the best choice.
Additionally, Topaz can increase the power of follow-up attacks, and Robin can buff ATK and CRIT DMG. Lastly, Aventurine can provide more buffs while shielding the party.
Alternatively, you could place Robin on a DoT team with Kafka, Black Swan, and Huohuo. Robin’s Ultimate can grant characters an extra turn, allowing for more enemies to be afflicted with DoTs.
Robin Pros and Cons 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?
Based on her ATK and CRIT DMG buffs, we highly recommend pulling for Robin. Her Ultimate can also grant Immediate Action to all teammates, which is incredibly useful in game modes such as Pure Fiction, where players have a limited number of turns.
If you already have Bronya or Sparkle, you may not consider adding Robin to your roster due to their similar abilities of advancing actions. If you don’t have either character, it is in your best interest to pull for Robin to have an excellent Harmony unit on your side.
