Here’s everything in our HSR Tribbie build:
What’s the best Tribbie build?
Tribbie is a five-star quantum element character who treads on the path of Harmony. Her kit revolves around dealing increased damage to large fields of enemies, so she’s a great buffer pick for Pure Fiction and other similar combat scenarios.
Here’s a brief overview of our best Tribbie build:
| Best light cone | If Time Were a Flower |
| Light cone substitute | Dance! Dance! Dance! |
| Best relic set | Poet of Mourning Collapse |
| Best planar ornaments | Lushaka, the Sunken Seas |
| Main stats |
|
| Sub-stats |
|
As a sub-DPS support, Tribbie’s best light cone is If Time Were a Flower. Her best relic set is Poet of Mourning Collapse, paired with Lushaka, the Sunken Seas. You should aim to boost her HP%, crit rate, and crit damage, and avoid boosting her speed for this specific build.
What is the best light cone for Tribbie?
Tribbie’s best light cone is her signature five-star light cone, If Time Were a Flower. This massively boosts both her own and her team’s crit damage and lets her use her ultimate as soon as battle begins. This means that Tribbie’s zone is active immediately and she can begin dealing extra damage to enemies. She also regenerates energy every time she uses her follow-up attack, leading to a satisfying cycle of ultimates and near-constant zone uptime.
Tribbie’s second-best light cone is Dance! Dance! Dance! This four-star light cone advances all allies’ moves forward whenever Tribbie uses her ultimate, which works wonderfully to keep her ultimate’s zone active for as long as possible.
Meshing Cogs is a viable F2P option if you’re struggling with energy regeneration. This will also make her ultimate uptime better, but we recommend ascending it to S5 first.
Here are the best HSR Tribbie light cones:
| If Time Were a Flower | Increases Tribbie’s crit damage by 36%. After she launches follow-up attack, additionally regenerates 12 energy and gains “Presage”, lasting for two turns. While Tribbie has “Presage”, all ally targets’ crit damage increases by 48%. When entering battle, Tribbie regenerates 21 energy and gains “Presage”, lasting for two turns |
| Dance! Dance! Dance! | When Tribbie uses her ultimate, all allies’ actions are advanced forward by 16% |
| Meshing Cogs | After Tribbie uses attacks or gets hit, additionally regenerates four energy. This effect cannot repeatedly trigger in a single turn |
What are the best relics for Tribbie?
Tribbie’s best relic set is four pieces of Poet of Mourning Collapse. Not only does this buff her personal quantum damage, but it decreases her speed and increases her crit rate. Not many characters benefit from decreased speed, but since Tribbie’s ultimate zone’s uptime resets on her turn, it’s best for her to act last in the order.
Tribbie’s second-best relic set is four pieces of Longevous Disciple. Her kit scales based on her max HP, so this additional buff is useful, and it also gives her a slight crit rate boost when she’s hit.
Tribbie’s best planar ornament set is Lushaka, the Sunken Seas. It buffs her energy regeneration rate, which is essential for cycling her ultimate, and it can offer an additional attack boost to your main DPS as long as Tribbie isn’t the first character in the team lineup.
An alternative planar ornament set for Tribbie is Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne. It buffs her max HP a little and if you can reach the 5K max HP requirement, she also gets a decent crit damage buff. While hitting this requirement isn’t too hard for Tribbie, you don’t want to sacrifice valuable energy regeneration.
Here are HSR Tribbie’s best relics:
| Poet of Mourning Collapse | Two equipped: increases quantum damage by 10% Four equipped: decreases Tribbie’s speed by 8%. Before entering battle, if her speed is lower than 110/95, increases Tribbie’s crit rate by 20%/32% |
Obtain from: Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Aria, Castrum Kremnos, Amphoreus |
| Longevous Disciple | Two equipped: increases max HP by 12% Four equipped: when Tribbie is hit or has her HP consumed by an ally or herself, her crit rate increases by 8% for two turns and up to two stacks |
Obtain from: Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Elixir Seekers, Alchemy Commission, Xianzhou Luofu |
Planar ornaments
| Lushaka, the Sunken Seas | Two equipped: increases Tribbie’s energy regeneration rate by 5%. If Tribbie is not the first character in the team lineup, then increases the attack of the first character in the team lineup by 12% | Obtain from: Divergent Universe: Famished Worker |
| Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne | Two equipped: increases Tribbie’s max HP by 12%. When Tribbie’s max HP is 5000 or higher, increase her crit damage by 28% | Obtain from: Divergent Universe: Unceasing Strife |
