How to Play Robin

Robin guide: how to play, rotations, best teams, relics, and investment priority for this Physical Harmony Support.

Last updated:

Overview

Robin enters a Concert state with her Ultimate, buffing all allies' ATK and enabling additional follow-up attacks. Her Skill removes debuffs from allies. She scales off ATK% — build ATK on Robin to increase buff values.

How to Play

Use Ultimate to start Concert at the beginning of each combat phase. During Concert, all allies deal increased damage and trigger bonus follow-ups. Use Skill to cleanse debuffs. Robin should have high SPD and Energy Regen for frequent Concerts.

Optimal Rotation

Robin Ultimate (start Concert) → Main DPS burst window during Concert → Robin Skill to cleanse → rebuild Energy → Ultimate again. Time Concert with boss phase transitions for maximum damage.

Strengths

Best team-wide buffer in the game. Enables follow-up attack teams. Concert uptime is nearly 100% with proper build. Works with any DPS archetype.

Weaknesses

Less impact in DoT teams where follow-ups matter less. Requires Energy Regen investment. Concert setup time can delay first burst.

Investment Priority

E0 is S-tier. Build ATK% and Energy Regen. Past and Future S5 works as budget cone. Level Ultimate first for longer Concert duration.
