Introduction
Robin's Profile
Robin is a 5★ character from the Physical element who follows the Path of Harmony. A Halovian singer born in Penacony and rose to cosmic fame. An elegant and demure young lady. This time, she has been invited home by The Family to grace everyone with song during the Charmony Festival. She can use the power of "Harmony" to broadcast her music, manifesting "resonance" among not only her fans but all manner of lifeforms.
Robin's Role
Robin is an exceptionally potent Harmony support that provides some of the best team wide buffs in the game - all without intense skill point demands. On top of this, during her Ultimate she is immune to Crowd Control, contributes a very significant amount of raw damage and possesses the ability to Action Advance all her teammates on its initial use - an absurd ability normally reserved for singular allies.
Robin also has one of the highest aptitudes for directly scaling the buffs and damage she provides not only with gear but also team compositions. If you can equip her with exceptional amounts of ATK, DMG% and build a team that attacks frequently she is a true force to be reckoned with. As a Harmony character who focuses on buffing her allies, Robin lands into the Amplifier category, but thanks to her uniquely high damage and scaling potential you can consider her more of an Amplifier/DPS hybrid.
Overall, Robin is yet another unsurprising slam-dunk for Harmony, being on a similar power level to that of Ruan Mei but with enough differences that she stands at the top in teams that can bring out her full potential. Despite this Robin and Ruan Mei do overlap and whoever ends up being more potent in certain archetypes is still up for debate. One thing is clear, however: Robin is absolutely a top-tier support worth having.
Traces and Eidolons
First, let's go over Robin's kit - so stats, skills, major traces and minor traces - and explain how they work.
Robin's Stats (level 80)
Robin's Skills
Wingflip White Noise
Single Target
Energy gain: 20
Break: 30
Well, nothing much can be said about Robin's basic attack - like majority of the characters, it's a simple one-target attack with average damage.
Pinion's Aria
Support
Energy gain: 30
Break: -
Robin's skill is a teamwide DMG buff of up to 50%, lasting for 3 of Robin's turns. This makes it quite an efficient boost for the whole party as you're not having to constantly keep up a buff on specific teammates. Even better is that since her Skill's duration is based on Robin's own turns (this will be important once you check her Ultimate), she can keep a single Skill activation going for an incredibly long time, making her extremely SP efficient to boot, and of course thanks to her Talent, she is able to regain Energy even during the Concerto state.
Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique
Support | 160 energy cost
Energy gain: 5
Break: -
Robin’s Ultimate is the most iconic part of her kit. Upon use, it will Advance all her allies by 100% and place herself in the unique Concerto state, offering team wide-buffs and additional benefits.
While in the Concerto state, Robin becomes immune to crowd control and is unable to take action, appearing as a special icon in the turn action order in place of her usual portrait. During Concerto, Robin’s Speed is changed to a fixed value of 90 with absolutely no way of affecting this - so be sure to make use of Robin’s current or upcoming turn before using her Ultimate else it will be lost. When the special Concerto turn ends, Robin will return to normal.
Just advancing all allies is incredibly strong by itself but while Robin is in the Concerto state she increases all allies' ATK by up to 22.8% of Robin's ATK plus a flat 200. Which usually equals to 1000-1400 ATK buff depending on her stats which is a massive boost to almost all teams in the game (for reference this buff usually yields more than a fully maxed and stacked Asta ATK% buff!).
In addition to this she will also deal additional Physical DMG whenever any ally launches any attack against an enemy, dealing up to 120% ATK per attack action. What makes these hits unique is that they scale off Robin’s own damage not the one doing the attacking, meaning gearing her up for damage allows every ally to deal damage through her! This damage also has a fixed CRIT Rate of 100% and a fixed CRIT DMG of 150%, so you don't have to invest into Crit stat on her gear and can just focus on ATK and DMG%. In the right team, the damage Robin can deal in one Ultimate duration can be an absolutely massive increase to the team's overall output and if upon reading 'per attack action' your mind immediately went to follow-up teams, you're right on the money. Any action that lands a hit on the enemy will cause Robin to chuck a treble-clef at the enemy, including Ultimates and especially follow-ups. The low SPD that the Concerto state enforces on Robin is therefore actually a boon, giving the team more opportunities to proc Robin's additional damage and use her ATK buff.
Tonal Resonance
Support
Energy gain: 0
Break: -
Robin's Talent is also simple, providing a permanent CRIT DMG boost to the whole party of up to 20%. It also has the added effect of granting Robin 2 additional points of Energy whenever allies attack enemy targets.
The bonus energy of the Talent is one of the pivotal parts of Robin’s kit. The more you can attack the more frequently you’ll have access to Robin’s Ultimate. It’s not unusual to gain up to half of Robin’s total energy cost from this talent in specialized teams, really taking the edge off her 160-cost Ultimate.
Overture of Inebriation

Energy gain: 0

Robin's Major Traces
Coloratura Cadenza
Impromptu Flourish
Sequential Passage
The A2 Major Trace will give Robin a 25% Action Advance at the beginning of a fight, making it much easier to use her Skill before any of your other DPS characters get their first actions off. Which means you don't need to invest into her Speed as much as you do with other Amplifiers - you just need to grab enough to make her act first (120-121 Speed on Robin is enough for her to go before a character with 160 Speed).
A4 Major Trace will improve upon the innate follow-up synergies by granting follow-up attacks a 25% CRIT DMG boost during the Concerto state, and her A6 will make Robin's Skill regenerate an additional 5 Energy on use. The A6 trace in particular can make it quite a compelling choice to use Robin's Skill even if she doesn't need to refresh it purely for the massive influx of Energy it provides.
Robin's Minor Traces
Eidolons
Now let's check Robin's Eidolons and how they affect her buffing capabilities and damage output.
Robin's Eidolons
Land of Smiles
Eidolon 1
While the Concerto state is active, all allies' All-Type RES PEN increases by 24%.
Afternoon Tea For Two
Eidolon 2
While the Concerto state is active, all allies' SPD increases by 16%. The Talent's Energy Regeneration effect additionally increases by 1.
Raindrop Key
Eidolon 4
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%
Moonless Midnight
Eidolon 6
While the Concerto state is active, the CRIT DMG of the Additional Physical DMG caused by the Ultimate increases by 450%. The effect of Moonless Midnight can trigger up to 8 time(s). And the trigger count resets each time the Ultimate is used.
Eidolons reviewed
Robin’s E1 is absolutely monstrous granting the whole team 24% All-Res Penetration during her Ultimate which is 1% off of how much Ruan Mei’s Ultimate grants. This Eidolon not only increases the team’s damage but also Robin’s own damage offering everything you’d want for those looking to invest in her more.
Robin's E2 offers additional Speed for allies during Concerto which can in some cases allow for extra hit’s to occur during its duration but more importantly increases the Talents Energy Regeneration from 2 to 3 meaning you’re that much closer to chaining together Robin’s Ultimate for maximum uptime. Not as universal as E1 but still an upgrade.
Robin's E4 will instantly dispel all Crowd Control debuffs on allies when they get Action Advanced by the Ultimate, and will also improve their Effect RES by 50% during Concerto.
Finally, E6 makes Robin really put the 'Harm' in Harmony, giving herself 8 uses of a hyper enhanced additional DMG instance during her Ultimate, having a 600% CRIT DMG bonus instead of the usual 150%, going back to the usual amount after 8 attacks have been launched and resetting the stack count when the Ultimate is used again. It, uh, destroys pretty much everything in the blink of an eye. Have fun with that, Anemone.
Damage calculations
This calculator can give you an idea of the total amount of damage that can be achieved during a single Robin Ultimate. Use the slider to adjust how many attacks you expect to be able to launch during Robin’s 90 speed ultimate duration - keep in mind that all allies are advanced immediately and each attack counts.
For example, Dr. Ratio first advanced skill would be 2 hits, his Ultimate would count for 3 hits and due to the slow Speed of Robin’s ultimate, he’ll get another skill in for another 2 hits for a total of 7 minimum just from his standard combo. It’s safe to assume that most standard teams can achieve at least 12-15 hits while the specialist teams, like the dedicated Follow-up ones, are capable of achieving 20-30 hits when things go their way.

Robin stats in the simulation: 4648 ATK, 123 Speed, and 38.8% Phys DMG. She's also equipped with 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and 2-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement Relics Sets and Sprightly Vonwacq for the Planar set. Her 50% DMG% from the skill is also included.
Relics and Light Cones
Recommended Main and Substats
ATK% >= SPD > HP% = DEF%
When it comes to the stats Robin wants, here are some additional comments.
- SPEED:
- Unlike some other supports Robin doesn't "need" Speed as during her Ultimate her Speed is fixed at 90 and she spends a good amount of time within that state. She also doesn't rely solely on her own actions for generating Energy and in many cases generates more Energy from her team and taking damage than herself. For these reasons Speed is not essential.
- It is recommended however that you build enough Speed on your Robin so that she always takes the first action in combat and applies her 50% damage increase to all allies. Thanks to her 25% action advance bonus ability it doesn't take much for Robin to outspeed even the fastest team setups. Generally 120/121 Speed will allow you to outspeed allies at around 160 Speed (you can use even less Speed than this if you're running a slow team and a non-speed scaling planar).
- If you're using supports that similarly start with action advances like Robin you may want to look into running Sprightly Vonwacq to ensure she always moves first. Outside of ensuring Robin moves first, Speed is no longer essential but can still hold value in allowing Robin quicker actions outside of her ultimate which may or may not be the difference between landing an Ultimate at a more opportune time or gaining another one entirely.
- ATK% & DMG%:
- Robin's biggest buffs and all her damage can be scaled with ATK%, making it by far her best stat and the one you should focus on stacking as much as possible of.
- If you're interested in seeking out more personal damage for Robin though, DMG% and PHYS% can in many cases be more valuable than ATK%. Many Robin builds end up with 180%-200%+ increased ATK% easily and the only source of DMG% Robin has naturally is her skill which grants her 50% (+ whatever she can manage from her Light Cone). Meaning the DMG% multiplier ends up being much lower compared to ATK%.
- For maximizing damage experimenting with a PHYS% orb or other sources of DMG% can help you gain more from your Robin as long as you're not giving up too much in the form of ATK and losing out on Robin's supportive capabilities.
- Energy Recharge%:
- Exactly how much Energy you need to achieve casting Robin's Ultimate every 1, 2 or 3 actions will change based on your team, the fight, and random chance. As the more your team is able to hit the more energy Robin will gain, the more the enemy attacks and the more of their attacks are AoE, the higher chance Robin has to gain substantial energy from taking damage. And of course based on luck she may or may not get hit by more or less attacks. For all these reasons, it's not possible to say exactly how much Energy Regeneration you need but getting as much as possible without sacrificing Robin's personal damage and team buffs is advised.
Recommended Endgame Stats
- HP: 3200+
- ATK: 3000-4400+
- DEF: 800+
- SPD: 120+ (get a bit more if Robin isn't the first to act at the start of the battle)
- Energy Regeneration: 119.44%+
Recommended Relic Sets
1
ATK increases by 12%.
The wearer's SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
Increases ATK by 12%.
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.
Comparable ATK buffing effect and slightly less Concerto damage than 4-piece Physical set but without the need to stack up any buffs and being much more accessible to farm.
2
Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
After the wearer attacks or is hit, their ATK increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to 5 time(s).
Best set for Robin when fully stacked, granting 25% ATK and 10% Physical Damage boosting both her Concerto damage and ATK buff the most compared to all other set options. The downside of this set is its ramp up time - while not hard to fully achieve, the improvement of this set over others is small enough that it might not be worth to farm specifically unless you already have it.
Also, keep in mind that Concerto doesn't give stacks, so you need to use Basic or get hit to obtain them - that's the main reason behind the fact that while on paper it's the best set, stacking it to full effect takes time/depends on RNG.
3
ATK increases by 12%.
The wearer's SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
-
ATK increases by 12%.
The wearer's SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
Increases SPD by 6%.
When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.
An alternative to pure damage sets when some extra Speed is needed due to lack of sub-stats or the desire for a higher Speed Robin. Needing less Speed sub-stats allows for more Attack sub-stats or simply higher Speed overall.
5
ATK increases by 12%.
The wearer's SPD increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
Increases Physical DMG by 10%.
After the wearer attacks or is hit, their ATK increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to 5 time(s).
Alternative damage focused setup that loses out in value compared to other options outside of extremely good sub stats.

Recommended Planetary Sets
1
Increases the wearer's Max HP by 12%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, all allies' ATK increases by 8%.
Best supportive buffing set for Robin, granting her some personal ATK from its bonus but more importantly an ATK bonus to the rest of the team that outweighs the benefit of increasing her own ATK further with other planar sets.
Sacrifices a small amount of her personal damage for a small bonus to overall team damage.
2
Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's ATK increases by an extra 12%.
A reasonable option for more damage focussed Robin, granting her the highest personal ATK of all planar sets, offering strong Concerto damage and team ATK buffs.
3
Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's action is Advanced Forward by 40% immediately upon entering battle.
-
Increases wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. Increases DMG for all other allies with the same DMG Type as the wearer by 10%.
Due to Robin's gigantic Ultimate cost (160 energy) and her ability to accrue energy from every teammate action - on top of her own Energy generation and standard combat generation - the little bit of extra ERR from this set can edge you just on the right side of specific breakpoints. This could allow you to gain an Ultimate where you otherwise wouldn't. The benefit of this set isn't guaranteed though as the Energy you generate maybe wasted - it's up to you whether the chance at that benefit is worth giving up some of Robin's supporting or personal damage options.
5
Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 10%. When the wearer's Effect RES is at 30% or higher, all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 10%.
Offers no benefit to Robin or her kit but can be used if no other alternatives are available or you specifically want CRIT DMG% over more damage and ATK boosting from Robin.
6
Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's SPD is equal to or higher than 135/160, the wearer deals 12%/18% more DMG.
Best set for maximizing Robin's Concerto damage in a vacuum, but relies on her achieving 135 Speed. Also is only a slight upgrade over Space Sealing Station on Concerto damage and offers less bonus ATK to the team.
The set can be used but isn't a clear upgrade over Space Sealing despite its additional requirements.
Recommended Light Cones
The numbers show the percentage damage output increase/decrease of Concerto damage compared to the Light Cone marked with 100%.
100%
Every time any ally attacks, the wearer gains 1 stack of Cantillation. Each stack of Cantillation increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 3/3.5/4/4.5/5%, stacking up to 5 times. When the wearer uses their Ultimate, removes Cantillation and gains Cadenza. Cadenza increases the Wearer's ATK by 48/60/72/84/96% and all allies' DMG dealt by 24/28/32/36/40%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Source: Event Warp (limited)
By far the best option for Robin, granting her the most base ATK, ATK% and damage increases of any Harmony Light Cone. This maximizes her personal damage and team wide buffs.
Also offers 15% Energy Regeneration with only a little downtime at the start of combat and right after she uses her Ultimate. Large amounts of energy regeneration can allow Robin to skip entire actions of her rotation, substantially shortening the gaps in between her ultimates and improving her performance at the same time.
88.35%
Increases the wearer's ATK by 16/20/24/28/32%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases their DMG dealt by 18/21/24/27/30%, lasting for 1 turn.
Source: Mission Reward
Offers lesser but comparable damage and teamwide buffs as Robin's signature but without any form of Energy Regeneration. The lack of energy means out of all of her standard Cone options, this one will have the least frequent Ultimates but this can be somewhat made up for by using an ERR set if desired.
71.79%
Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 10/12/14/16/18% and regenerates 1 Skill Point when the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally. This effect can be triggered after every 2 uses of the wearer's Ultimate. When the wearer uses their Skill, the next ally taking action (except the wearer) deals 30/35/40/45/50% more DMG for 1 turn(s).
Source: Stellar Warp
Offers Robin strong base stats and 10% of the incredibly desirable Energy Regeneration stat which alone makes it a viable option. For many Robin setups, this Cone might perform better than most 4-star Cones, even when they are S5. The rest of the bonuses of this Light Cone are less impactful for Robin but not completely useless - granting the team occasionally a few free skill points and (if tuned correctly) an extra damage boost.
66.14%
Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 28/35/42/49/56%. When the wearer attacks, additionally regenerates 4/5/6/7/8 Energy. This effect can only be triggered 1 time per turn.
Source: Stellar Warp
Sacrifices Robin's personal damage and team wide buffs in favour of Energy Regeneration when attacking enemies with her basic attacks. A decent option but the loss of personal stats is not ideal and in many scenarios (especially ones with high amounts of combat damage) Robin doesn't use her basic attack that frequently in between ultimates. Which means that other ERR Light Cones and the unique effect of Meshing Cogs can outperform this one for ultimate uptime.
60.54%
After the wearer uses attacks or gets hit, additionally regenerates 4/5/6/7/8 Energy. This effect can only be triggered 1 time per turn.
Source: Stellar Warp
Sacrifices even more of Robin's potential damage and support than Memories of the Past, but for much greater potential Energy Regeneration. In fights with multiple AoE attacks that can frequently hit Robin, it's very easy to gain access to her Ultimate very quickly after it ends using this Light Cone. For raw Energy Regeneration in the right fight, this Light Cone may very well be the best choice but at the cost of the rest of Robin's kit.

Tips and Tricks
Kit interactions
- Robin's Signature Light Cone, Flowing Nightglow, despite removing 5 stacks of its Energy Recharge buff upon using her ultimate can be immediately re-stacked allowing for close to 80-90% uptime on the 15% energy regeneration buff,
- Every separate action performed by an ally that strikes an enemy including Ultimates, standard abilities and follow-up attacks all trigger Robin's talent to generate energy,
- Hits from entry Techniques count as hits for Robin's energy regeneration granting her an additional 2 energy at the start of combat,
- Always place Robin in the centre of your team composition and if possible next or in between whichever characters have the highest chance to be hit by enemies (Preservation or tanks). This will grant her a tonne of free energy from being hit,
- Robin's Skill generates substantially more energy than her Basic Attack. If you have Skill Points to spare and Robin is close to gaining her ultimate consider using her Skill instead of the basic even if it's not time to refresh it's duration,
- Robin's Ultimate does not advance summons such as Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord or Topaz's Trotter Numby.
How many buffs does Robin provide?
- PASSIVE:
- 50% DMG%,
- 20% CRIT DMG,
- DURING ULT:
- 1000-1400 Flat ATK (equivalent to a 80-100% ATK% increase),
- 25% FUA CRIT DMG.
- 100% full team Action Advance,
- 24% All-Type RES PEN (E1),
- 16% Speed (E2).
When should I use Robin's Ultimate?
There are multiple factors to consider when choosing the best time to use Robin's Ultimate. At the most basic level you should aim to use it after all of your team has just moved allowing the entire team to be fully boosted, granting each of them a full action advance. On a more advanced level in endgame there are a few more things to consider.
- In Pure Fiction you have a set amount of cycles in which to slay as many enemies as possible. Your goal with Robin should be to maximize the uptime of her Ultimate but also to gain as many activations of it as possible for as many free advances as you can. To achieve this, it can sometimes be correct to use Robin's Ultimate earlier than described above so she doesn't end up overcapping her energy and losing out on a potential Ultimates later on in combat. Balancing early Ultimates with full team advances is something to be on the look out for in Pure Fiction,
- In Memory of Chaos getting clears in as few cycles as possible means everything and Robin's Ultimate, when used correctly, can guarantee you a better performance. After you clear a wave in Memory of Chaos all characters and enemies Speeds are reset, which introduces a new consideration on when you might want to use Robin's Ultimate to ensure you gain from this change and don't lose character actions:
- The first new timing for using Robin's Ultimate is at the first start of a new wave right as every characters actions are reset - so you can immediately perfectly advance all your team mates right as the new wave starts gaining full value from Robin's ultimate.
- The second new timing is to use Robin's Ultimate right before a cycle ends and all enemies and allies have moved to grant your team 1 full additional round of actions, potentially saving you a cycle and earning you a 3 star rating. Another advantage of using Robin's Ultimate to finish off an existing wave is that she'll start the next wave with a fully refreshed Ultimate duration as the duration of her Ultimate is based on the Speed mechanic and that speed is reset each new wave.
How is Robin on Auto?
Robin isn't bad on auto but she will most of the time immediately use her Ultimate as soon as it's available regardless of your team's current points in the action order, potentially completely wasting the action advance portion of her Kit. The rest of her AI gameplay is intelligent and smooth.
Do I need to use ERR Rope and Sprightly Vonwacq / Penacony, Land of the Dreams on Robin?
While an ERR Rope is a must have on Robin, Sprightly Vonwacq / Penacony, Land of the Dreams are not. Though the 5% Energy Regeneration can situationally be incredibly powerful.
How many attacks do allies need to deal to secure permanent uptime on Robin's Ultimate?
Worst case, you want your Robin to achieve a 3-action rotation of 1 Skill and 2 Basics. You can refer to the table below to see the impact of different Light Cones and energy generation on how many allied attacks are required to make that 3-action rotation work without taking hits in combat.
Total ERR refers to the total energy regeneration that Robin has with a specific setup. Rotation Energy refers to how much energy Robin will generate from 2 basic attacks and 1 skill without taking combat damage. Required ally attacks refers to how many attacks and as a result triggers of her 2 energy talent you need in order to make the rotation work flawlessly.
Remember that taking combat damage especially with Robin placed in the middle of the team is very real and will happen, lowering the amount of required ally attacks needed and potentially allowing for 2 or even 1-action rotations.
| Light Cone | ERR Rope | ERR Set | Total ERR | Rotation Energy | Required Ally Attacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 39% | 117.1 | 15.0 | ||
| 34% | 112.9 | 17.5 | ||

Synergy and Teams
Robin's Synergy
Below you can find some characters that Robin has great synergy with.
| Character | Notes |
|---|---|
 | Topaz is a an exceptional partner for Robin with absurd two-way synergy between them. Topaz and Numby's frequent follow-up attacks grants Robin much higher amounts of additional energy while also triggering her Ultimate Concerto damage much more often. The majority of Topaz's damage fortunately is also Follow-up meaning she can take full advantage of a full 45% CRIT DMG boost from Robin's kit! |
 | Similar to Topaz, Dr. Ratio launches over double the amount of usual attacks compared to a non-FUA damage dealer, meaning he will be generating more energy and damage for Robin. A large portion of Ratio's damage is also Follow-Up so similar to Topaz, he can gain full value of 45% CRIT DMG from Robin. |
 | Aventurine is a Sustain that attacks more frequently than other Sustains and even more damage dealers. Under the right circumstances, Aventurine is the perfect teammate for Robin. Aventurine is no stranger to doing reasonable damage himself but during Robin's ultimate he can now seriously contribute to wearing down enemies and even killing some, thanks to her Concerto damage buffing each of his attacks. |
 | Huohuo is an alternative to Aventurine as she has a lot to offer to Robin thanks to her Ultimate. It recovers a percentage of the team's Energy based on their maximum which for Robin is a whopping 160. The one thing that really keeps Robin balanced is that energy cost, and Huohuo helps with its uptime. Huohuo's Ultimate also grants the team an ATK% boost which Robin herself can use to scale her own Attack, increasing her Concerto damage but also the buff she provides the rest of the team! |
Robin's Best Teams
Please keep in mind that those aren't the only teams you can use Robin in - only those that we found the best results during our testing. Robin is a very versatile Amplifier and she can work in many teams.
Premium FUA Team
F2P FUA Team
A more accessible version of the Dr Ratio follow-up attack team, that focuses on ensuring Ratio has his 3 debuffs at all times, while still having damage amplification and potential for Robin to capitalise on frequent attacks.
Pela can be replaced by Silver Wolf.
DoT Team
For those without Ruan Mei (or those looking to make use of her elsewhere) can slot Robin in the tried and true DoT team, sometimes gaining even faster clears than Ruan Mei variant can. Robin enjoys the extra energy provided by Huohuo and thanks to Kafka's frequent Follow-up Attacks she'll maintain a decent hit count for her Talent and Ultimate activations.
What's Next?
That's the end of the early impressions article for Robin and we hope you did enjoy it! As we mentioned in the introduction section, full Robin guide will be released and placed on her profile once she's properly available in the game and then she will be also added to our tier list.
Till then!
This premium follow-up focused team maximizes total attacks from team members, not only creating numerous synergies between each other but most importantly massive synergy with Robin. Having so many chaining Follow-up Attacks, generates Robin an absurd amount of energy and triggers her Concerto a ridiculous amount as well. With this team you'll get some of the most frequent Robin Ultimates with the highest total hit count leading to some of the best Concerto damage.
To reach the 3 required debuffs for Dr. Ratio, you'll need signature Light Cone on Aventurine or Topaz (ideally you want both).
