Honkai: Star Rail – Tingyun build and ascension guide

by

Encourage your teammates to deliver their top-notch performances using an optimal Tingyun setup in Honkai: Star Rail. This fox-like character with a silver tongue adheres to the Path of Harmony, primarily focusing on dealing Lightning damage, but her true power lies in boosting the abilities of her fellow team members.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “Tingyun’s skill, Soothing Melody, blesses an ally with the Benediction effect for three turns. This boosts their Attack Power according to Tingyun’s own Attack Power. Characters under Benediction also add Lightning Damage to their next attack, based on their own Attack Power. When Tingyun strikes an enemy, she unleashes extra Lightning Damage, proportional to the Attack Power of the ally currently under the Benediction effect.

In the midst of joyful clouds, she bestows energy on a specific ally, boosting their vitality and enhancing their attack power for the next two rounds.

Gaining duplicate versions of Tingyun leads to enhanced usefulness in gameplay. At level 1, using her ultimate skill grants a speed boost to an ally with Benediction for one turn. At level 2, her ally with Benediction regains energy after defeating enemies. Level 4 amplifies the damage multiplier of Benediction and level 6 increases the amount of energy restored by Tingyun’s ultimate ability.

Honkai: Star Rail – Tingyun: best Light Cones

As a gamer, I’ve found that Tingyun relies heavily on two key stats to carry out her role effectively: Attack (ATK) and Energy Regeneration. Luckily, Flowing Nightglow, Robin’s signature Light Cone, offers both. It boasts the highest base ATK among all The Harmony Light Cones and grants its user Energy Regeneration that escalates every time an ally takes a swing (stacking up to five times). This energy boost resets whenever I unleash my Ultimate, which not only beefs up my Attack but also amplifies the team’s damage output for a single turn.

Best Light Cones for Tingyun in HSR:

  • Flowing Nightglow (5-Star)
  • A Grounded Ascent (5-Star)
  • Earthly Escapade (5-Star)
  • But the Battle Isn’t Over (5-Star)
  • Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds (4-Star)
  • Past and Future (4-Star)
  • Poised to Bloom (4-Star)

Besides ATK and Energy Regeneration, Tingyun also requires a substantial amount of SPD (Speed) to grant her buffs to allies swiftly. The remaining slots should be filled with defensive stats to ensure her survival, as Tingyun is often targeted due to her attractiveness.

Best Relic Sets for Tingyun in HSR:

  • Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal (4) – +6% SPD, +18% CRIT DMG for two turns for an ally targeted by the wearer’s Skill or Ultimate (can stack up to two times).

  • Musketeer of Wild Wheat (4) – +12% ATK, +10% Basic Attack Damage, and +6% SPD.

Best Planar Ornaments for Tingyun in HSR:

  • Broken Keel (2) – +10% Effect RES, +10% CRIT DMG for all allies if the wearer’s Effect RES is 30% or higher.

Honkai: Star Rail – Tingyun: best teams

Tingyun continues to be an excellent choice for various team compositions, particularly teams that emphasize one strong Primary Damage Dealer.

  • Seele (Main DPS), Bronya (Support), Tingyun (Support), Huohuo (Healer)

In this setup, Tingyun serves as a top-notch secondary Support for most primary Damage Per Second (DPS) characters who can function independently as hypercarries. This team structure often pairs Tingyun with another Support character, typically Bronya, Sparkle, or Sunday. Tingyun’s role is primarily to replenish the Energy of the main DPS and maintain an active buff on them. The other Support provides additional buffs and either skill point restoration or turn manipulation, depending on the specific requirements of the main DPS. Huohuo, with her versatile healing abilities and supportive skills, makes an excellent choice to complete the team.

Characters like Seele, Jingliu, Imbibitor Lunae, Blade, Yanqing, and Aglaea would make excellent additions to a team of this kind.
