A Quick Look at Robin, Penacony’s Most Famous Pop Star
Robin HSR was added to Honkai: Star Rail back in May 2024, and she quickly became a fan favorite support character. She’s a Halovian pop star from the planet Penacony who provides lots of party-wide buffs to damage and critical damage. Her Ultimate ability moves your entire party to the top of the action list, which is a huge advantage in any combat situation.

Robin’s Ascension Materials
Like any character in HSR, Robin is at her best when she’s fully Ascended. Unfortunately, this can also be a little expensive when it comes to credits and materials!
Here’s what you need to Ascend Robin at each level cap:
| Ascension Level | Credits Required | Materials Required |
| 20 | 4,000 | 5x Dream Collection Component |
| 30 | 8,000 | 10x Dream Collection Component |
| 40 | 16,000 | 6x Dream Flow Valve, 3x IPC Work Permit |
| 50 | 40,000 | 9x Dream Flow Valve, 7x IPC Work Permit |
| 60 | 80,000 | 6x Dream Making Engine, 20x IPC Work Permit |
| 70 | 160,000 | 9x Dream Making Engine, 35x IPC Work Permit |
It feels a little strange to need work permits in a video game, but as they say, art imitates life!
If you want to Ascend Robin’s abilities instead, you’ll need a few different materials:
| Ability Name | Credits Required | Materials Required |
| Coloratura Cadenza | 5,000 | 3x Firmament Note, 1x Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster. |
| Impromptu Flourish | 20,000 | 5x Celestial Section, 1x Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster, 1x Tracks of Destiny |
| Sequential Passage | 160,000 | 8x Heavenly Melody, 1x Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster, 1x Tracks of Destiny |
Best Light Cones for Robin
To help you level Honkai: Star Rail Robin even faster, you’ll need the best Light Cones you can afford. If you can’t afford the weapon you’ve got your eye on, grab a Honkai Star Rail cheap top up at U7BUY. Oneiric Shards have never been so affordable!
There are several light cones available for HSR Robin, but only one signature light cone: Flowing Nightglow. Here’s a look at its stats:
| HP | ATK | DEF |
| 952 | 635 | 463 |
It also has an impressive passive ability. Each time an ally attacks, Honkai: Star Rail Robin gains 1 stack of Cantillation, up to 5 stacks total. Each stack increases her Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR) by 3%, up to a max of 15%.
But if you drop her Ultimate, Cantillation is replaced by Cadenza, which increases her attack by 48% and the whole team’s damage by 24% for 1 turn.
For most characters, their signature light cone is a must-pull item, but Robin HSR actually has several other light cones that work quite well for her.
But the Battle Isn’t Over
| HP | ATK | DEF |
| 1283 | 529 | 463 |
This light cone’s passive ability increases Robin’s ERR by 10% and regenerates 1 Skill Point when she uses her Ultimate. When she uses her Skill, the next ally to attack deals an extra 30% damage.
For Tomorrow’s Journey
| HP | ATK | DEF |
| 952 | 476 | 330 |
This time, the passive effect is a little more simple: it increases Robins attack by 32%. When she drops her Ultimate, it gives a 30% damage increase. While it’s not the best choice overall, this is the best free-to-play light cone for Robin.
There are other light cones available that can also work well for Honkai: Star Rail Robin, so feel free to experiment and see what other powerful combos you can discover!
Best Team Builds for Robin
Robin is an invaluable support character, which means that she fits into a lot of different team builds. Let’s take a closer look at a few potential team builds that work well with her. Most of the time, Robin’s amazing support powers make her the perfect choice for supporting a powerful DPS character, usually with other support characters for healing.
Option 1: Robin, Feixiao, Topaz & Numby, Aventurine
In this team comp, Robin Honkai: Star Rail plays her usual role of providing team-wide buffs, while Feixiao is the main DPS. Topaz and Numby help fuel Feixiao’s follow-up attacks, while Aventurine keeps the team alive with shields.
Option 2: Robin, Feixiao, Cipher, Aventurine
This is a similar concept to the previous one, but a little less focused on a single DPS. Feixiao is the main DPS and Aventurine keeps everyone alive, while Cipher provides some additional attack damage and Robin HSR enhances everyone’s attacks.
Option 3: Robin, Anaxa, Sunday, Huohuo
If you prefer more support available, this double-Harmony support team really powers up Anaxa as a single carry DPS, and ensures that your allies are always acting first.
Remember that these are just a few of the more popular options, and there are many other possible team combinations that work well!
Now that you know the best ways to use Robin in your HSR build, you’ve probably realized how much work it can be to actually make it happen.
