Honkai: Star Rail – Tribbie build and ascension guide

All good things come in threes with the best Honkai: Star Rail Tribbie build. This demigod and Flame-Chaser from Amphoreus has mastered the powers of Janus to support her team in battle. Following The Harmony and dealing Quantum DMG, Tribbie is a HP-based Support character.

Tribbie’s Basic Attack deals Quantum DMG based on her Max HP to one enemy and adjacent targets, giving it a similar pattern to Jade’s.

Her Skill, Where’d the Gifts Go, activates Numinosity for three turns. While this effect is active, the entire party’s All-Type RES PEN is increased.

Tribbie’s Ultimate, Guess Who Lives Here, deals Quantum DMG based on her Max HP to all enemies and creates a Zone for two turns. The Zone increases the damage enemies take on top of allowing Tribbie to deal Quantum DMG based on her Max HP when allies hit enemies. This additional attack aims at the enemy with the highest HP among the ally’s targets.

Her Talent, Busy as Tribbie, allows Tribbie to launch a Follow-Up Attack dealing Quantum DMG based on her Max HP to all enemies whenever an ally uses an Ultimate. This can only happen once per character, though Tribbie can reset this counter by using her own Ultimate.

Tribbie also comes with Traces that provide her with a stacking damage boost triggered by her Follow-Up Attacks, increase her Max HP based on the Max HP of all allies while the Zone lasts, and restore Energy to her whenever allies hit enemy targets.

Pulling additional copies of Tribbie raises her Eidolon Levels and boosts her abilities further. At Level 1, the additional attacks generated by the Zone deal an extra instance of True DMG. The Zone’s extra attack becomes even stronger thanks to Level 2, which increases its damage and adds another instance of Quantum DMG. Level 4 allows all allies to partially ignore enemy DEF while Numinosity is active. Level 6 triggers Tribbie’s Follow-Up Attack when her Ultimate is used and buffs her Follow-Up Attack DMG.

Honkai: Star Rail – Tribbie: best Light Cones

Tribbie’s signature Light Cone, If Time Were a Flower, provides significant boosts to her kit. The wearer’s CRIT DMG is increased and their Follow-Up Attacks regenerate extra Energy. Making Follow-Up Attacks also creates the Presage effect for two turns, boosting the CRIT DMG of all allies. Furthermore, the wielder of this Light Cone gains Presage immediately after entering the battle and restores a set amount of Energy.

Best Light Cones for Tribbie in HSR:

• If Time Were a Flower (5-Star)
• Earthly Escapade (5-Star)
• Flowing Nightglow (5-Star)
• For Tomorrow’s Journey (4-Star)
• Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds (4-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Tribbie: best Relics

Tribbie is a Support character with high damage potential, which you can further emphasize by raising her Max HP, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. Tribbie’s kit and Light Cone offer good Energy Regeneration already, but it doesn’t hurt to stack more of this, as Tribbie’s Zone is a beastly tool to have handy in battle. 

You don’t want to get SPD on her, as this would interfere with the effects of the Poet of Mourning Collapse set. Tribbie’s base SPD is 96, so the SPD malus coming with the set will get her below the crucial threshold of 95.

Best Relic Sets for Tribbie in HSR:

• Poet of Mourning Collapse (4) – +10% Quantum DMG, -8% SPD, +20%/32% CRIT Rate if the wearer’s SPD is lower than 110/95.
• Longevous Disciple (4) – +12% Max HP, +8% CRIT Rate for two turns when the wearer is hit or has their HP consumed by an ally or themselves (stacks up to two times).

Best Planar Ornaments for Tribbie in HSR:

• Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne (2) – +12% Max HP, +28% CRIT DMG for both the wearer and their Memosprite, if the wearer’s Max HP is higher than 5,000.
• Lushaka, the Sunken Seas (2) – +5% Energy Regeneration, +12% ATK for the first character in the team’s line-up, if the wearer is not in this spot.

Honkai: Star Rail – Tribbie: best teams

Tribbie offers an interesting package of benefits, being able to support any kind of team with her All-Type RES PEN buff and providing immense fire support with her own damage.

• The Herta (Main DPS), Jade (Sub DPS), Tribbie (Support), Lingsha (Support)

Tribbie is an excellent choice to support The Herta, as both of them regenerate Energy from the team hitting as many enemies at once and come with corresponding attack types. Tribbie adds damage to The Herta’s attacks passively and actively with both of them acting as each other’s batteries. With Jade and Lingsha – two fellow area-of-effect attackers – on board as well, both characters will have an extremely high Ultimate uptime, maximizing their damage.
