What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Tingyun build?

Tingyun is a four-star lightning character that treads the path of Harmony, meaning she is best suited to a support role. She provides potent buffs through her skillset, boosting your team’s overall damage output and energy regeneration.

Tingyun’s skill sees her buff the attack of both herself and one additional ally, and her ultimate both regenerates energy for the target ally and increases their attack even further.

What are the best light cones for Honkai Star Rail’s Tingyun?

Tingyun has her own light cone called Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds, which compliments her kit perfectly. As such, we recommend you use that with her if you manage to pull it.

If you’re looking for an alternate, make sure it aligns with the path of The Harmony. The Battle Isn’t Over and Chorus are good options.

Light cone Effect How to obtain
Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds Randomly applies one of the following effects at the start of the battle and whenever Tingyun takes action:
  • Increases all allies’ attack
  • Increases all allies’ crit damage
  • Increases all allies’ energy regeneration

The effect cannot be identical to the last effect applied and replaces the previous effect. The applied effect expires when Tingyun falls in battle. Effects of the same type cannot stack

Gacha
The Battle Isn’t Over Increases Tingyun’s energy restoration rate by 16% and restores one skill point whenever she uses her ultimate on a target ally. The target ally also restores ten energy. This effect can only trigger once per turn Gacha or the Starlight Exchange store
Chorus After entering battle, increases all allies’ attack. Effects of the same type can’t stack Gacha

What are the best relics for Honkai Star Rail Tingyun?

We’re still working out the best relics for Tingyun. Currently, we believe Band of Sizzling Thunder is the best set for Tingyun’s personal damage, whereas Thief of Shooting Meteor is a great option to help her break enemy weaknesses and use her ult more often.

While not perfect for Tingyun’s kit, Space Sealing Station is the best available planar ornament set. It boosts her attack, buffing the effect she applies to allies.

Relic set Effect Obtained from
Band of Sizzling Thunder Two pieces equipped: increases lightning damage by 10%
Four pieces equipped: increases Tingyun’s attack by 20% for one turn after she uses her skill
