Robin is a 5-star Physical Harmony unit in Honkai Star Rail and she is one of the best characters in the game for buffing up follow-up attack teams.
Robin is a Halovian singer who hails from the Penacony region in Honkai Star Rail. The Family has invited her to sing at the Charmony Festival, using her power of Harmony to show off her musical prowess.
She is an exceptional unit who works pretty well with characters like Feixiao and Jade who are some of the most popular DPS choices for high-end content. Additionally, Robin is also very unique in her playstyle which makes her worth the investment.

While this is the best build for Robin in Honkai Star Rail, if you want to learn about the individual components of the setup, we have discussed those in detail in the following sections.
Best Light Cone
Flowing Nightglow
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).
But the Battle Isn’t Over
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.
Best Relic and Ornament set
Relic
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 | Bonuses |
|---|---|
| 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%. |

Best team comp for Robin in Honkai Star Rail
The best team to have Robin on would be alongside Feixiao, Topaz, and Aventurine. This composition works well because Robin synergizes well with the follow-up attacks from the rest of the team. Feixiao acts as the primary DPS in the team while Aventurine is the shielder who can also deal follow-up damage.
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, if you don’t have Feixiao, you can Dr. Ratio while keeping the rest of the team the same. Finally, Robin also works quite well in a team with Jade and Herta. This team has a similar philosophy has Feixiao’s party, but it is more suited for Pure Fiction.
