Quick Links
Honkai: Star Rail has several fascinating and strong characters you can obtain via the story and the Warp system, all of which have a variety of builds and party compositions that can make them shine brighter than they already do during combat.
Tingyun, the Foxian member of the Xianzhou Luofu faction, is one of the best four-star support characters in the game and can easily change the tide of battle in your favor if built and implemented correctly. With the proper team around her, optimal Light Cones, and Relics, Tingyun can be the best member of your party, so don't underestimate her.
Best Relics And Planar Ornaments For Tingyun
Being a support character, it's crucial to hone in on Tingyun's ability to steadily apply buffs on her teammates and dish out a decent amount of damage on the opponents when need be.
Her Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds Ultimate is also one of the best actions in the game, as it will restore 50 Energy to her target and raise their Attack by 20-60 percent for two turns, making her build all the more valuable and vital to nail.
The tables below will showcase the best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Tingyun, allowing you to squeeze the most performance out of her and make the rest of your party nearly unstoppable with her buffs.
Best Relics For Tingyun
Relic Set | Reason For Synergy |
|---|---|
Musketeer of Wild Wheat | This set is currently the best one for Tingyun, as it gives her a substantial damage boost and raises her Speed, enabling her to get out in front of most characters to apply crucial buffs before they attack. ATK +12 Percent, SPD +6 Percent, Basic ATK DMG +10 Percent |
Band of Sizzling Thunder | If you're looking for a pure boost to Tingyun's damage output, this set will be the way to go, as it immensely increases her Lightning Damage and boosts her overall Attack by 20 percent for one turn after using a Skill. Lightning DMG +10 Percent, ATK +20 Percent |
The lack of Speed the Band of Sizzling Thunder offers to Tingyun makes it the lesser of the two choices. While it will cause her to deal significantly more damage, she will regress as a support character, which is where she shines the most.
Best Ornaments For Tingyun
Ornament Set | Reason For Synergy |
|---|---|
Fleet of the Ageless | Regarding Tingyun's Ornament set, this is the best one you can outfit her with as it drastically increases her Max HP and will increase all party members' Attack by eight percent if her Speed is or exceeds 120. Max HP +12 Percent, ATK For All Allies +8 Percent |
Space Sealing Station | Drastically increases Tingyun's Attack based on her Speed Stat, making her exceptionally strong in battle as she will consistently be in front of most other characters in your party. ATK +12 Percent, Adds another +12 Percent to ATK if Speed is at least 120 |
Sprightly Vonwacq | Increases her Energy Regeneration Rate by five percent and improves their Advance Forward by 40 percent if their Speed is 120 or higher, enhancing their support capabilities. Energy Regeneration Rate +5 Percent, Advance Forward +40 Percent |
Tingyun's base Speed Stat is 112, but with the Musketeer of Wild Wheat Relic Set, you will be at roughly 143, putting you well above the threshold needed to take advantage of the benefits from all the Ornaments listed above!
Best Light Cones For Tingyun
Light Cones are another crucial aspect when it comes to getting the most out of your characters in Honkai: Star Rail and can make or break your build depending on what you choose and focus on upgrading.
The table below showcases the best Light Cones for Tingyun and why they should be your focus and priority. We have also separated these Light Cones into Warp and Free-To-Play categories, as some are only obtainable via the Gacha aspects of the game.
Best Warp (Gacha) Light Cones For Tingyun
Light Cone | Description |
|---|---|
But the Battle Isn't Over | Energy Regeneration Rate is drastically increased by 18 percent, and performing an Ultimate will replenish one Skill Point. This effect is only applied after every two uses of your Ultimate. Furthermore, using a Skill will have the following party member deal 50 percent more DMG for one turn. HP +1164, ATK +529, DEF +463 |
Memories of the Past | Your Break Effect is enhanced by 56 percent. Attacking will also replenish eight Energy, but only once per battle. HP +952, ATK +423, DEF +396 |
Dance! Dance! Dance! | Advances Forward all party members' actions by 24 percent after using your Ultimate. HP +952, ATK +423, DEF +396 |
Best Free-To-Play Light Cones For Tingyun
Light Cone | Description |
|---|---|
Meshing Cogs | Regenerate eight Energy after landing an attack or getting hit. Can only be applied once per battle. HP +846, ATK +317, DEF +264 |
Chorus | Raise the Attack of all party members by 12 percent at the start of every battle. This is not stackable with similar effects. HP +846, ATK +317, DEF +264 |
All Stats for the Light Cones outlined above are based on their Max-Level Stats, so they will be drastically lower when you first acquire them and will need to be Ascended and Superimposed to become stronger and more potent.
Tingyun Traces Overview And Priority
Lastly, we have Tingyun's Traces, which can significantly enhance her Skills and Ultimate during combat, making her one of the best support characters in the game due to her ability to turn DPS-focused characters into what essentially is a nuke.
Like every character, Tingyun has many Traces, but the ones listed below are the most crucial ones you should focus on when starting out if you want to get the most out of her as early as possible. While these aren't all the Traces she has to offer, they are the most essential!
Soothing Melody
Soothing Melody is Tingyun's Skill Action, enabling her to bless her target with Benediction for three turns, drastically increasing their Attack by 25 (Level 1) to 62.5 percent (Level 15).
When under the effects of Benediction, the first attack will also deal an additional 20 to 50 percent Lightning Damage, making it excel against opponents who are weak to that element. This will be your primary focus, as you constantly cast Soothing Melody throughout most battles.
Amidst The Rejoicing Clouds
Tingyun's Ultimate, Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds, may very well be the best one in the game, as it can turn already potent DPS characters, like Seele, into nukes that have the potential to take off large chunks of HP with one move, or even insta-kill them.
When casting Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds on a party member, they will instantly gain 50 Energy, bringing them closer to their Ultimate or activating it for them, which is tremendously valuable but not the Ultimate's best feature.
The best feature of upgrading this Ultimate is its ability to grant your target a whopping 20 (Level 1) to 65 percent (Level 15) increase to their overall damage for two turns. You know how we mentioned earlier that Tingyun could turn some characters into what essentially is a nuke? This is why.
Pairing Tingyun's Ultimate with the previously covered Relics, Ornaments, and Light Cones will make for a disgusting set of buffs you can apply to a party member, making them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
Overall, all of Tingyun's Traces offer excellent buffs and bonuses that should be acquired, so unlock all of them as you see fit and as they become available to you. When it comes to upgrading them, however, we recommend focusing on these first, as they offer the best results.
