Another character on the cards is Honkai Star Rail’s Robin, due to meet the Trailblazer in updates set on the planet of Penacony.

Ahead of us getting to Penacony, Hoyoverse introduced plenty of characters who are due to make an appearance at the opening festival, including a performer by the name of Robin. So, what do we know about the stylish singer, Honkai Star Rail’s Robin? Not too much just yet, but we can have fun speculating what role she might fill.

In the meantime, here’s the current Honkai Star Rail banner and all the information about the latest Honkai Star Rail update, and where new characters fall in our Honkai Star Rail tier list.

Honkai Star Rail Robin release date

Thanks to her recent drip marketing, we now know Robin will release in the first half of version 2.2 of Honkai Star Rail, on May 8. She runs alongside Honkai Star Rail’s Topaz (and Numby).

What do we know about Robin’s build?

Robin now has official drip marketing, confirming her as a five-star unit that walks the Harmony path, and uses the physical element. As a five-star, she has her own light cone, Flowing Nightglow, that is tailored perfectly to her kit. This will be her best-in-slot option.

What are Robin’s skills?

During the livestream introducing Robin and Honkai Star Rail’s Boothill, we got a look at some of her kit.

  • Technique – Overture of Inebriation
    • Robin creates a dimension that makes enemies follow her without attacking, allowing you to get the upper hand. After entering battle in this dimension, Robin regenerates energy.
  • Skill – Pinion’s Aria
    • Robin’s skill enhances the total damage dealt by your team.
  • Talent – Tonal Resonance
    • When using her talent, Robin regenerates energy when allies attack enemies on field.
  • Ultimate – Vox Harmonique, Opus Cosmique
    • Robin’s ultimate allows all allies to immediately take action while providing buffs to your team with a whimsical song.

Who is Honkai Star Rail’s Robin?

Robin makes her in-game entrance during the Trailblazer’s introduction to Penacony, along with her brother, Sunday. They’re sort of helping to run the Charmony Festival and are on hand to assist travelers, though by trade, Robin is a well-known singer.

The only hint towards any part of Robin’s kit that we have so far is that she’s singing at the festival in honor of the Aeon of Harmony, Xipe. This means that she may be on the path of Harmony herself given that music and the Harmony have a sort of connection – the materials needed for Harmony characters is a music box, after all.

Robin’s English voice actor is Alice Himora, and her song vocals are by Chevy.

There’s a whole new cast of characters awaiting us in Honkai’s new area, such as Honkai Star Rail’s Aventurine, Honkai Star Rail’s Gallagher, and Honkai Star Rail’s Firefly. If you want to pull on any of them, then grab these Honkai Star Rail codes for some free gems.
