Tribby in Honkai Star Rail: Guide on how to play, builds, teams and rotation

В HSR Tribby is a quantum character of the Path of Harmony of legendary rarity. Despite her initial belonging to the class, the chosen one of the "Golden Descendants" is capable of not only strengthening allies, but also dealing good damage to the area with her ultimate and bonus attack.

The buffs offered by the heroine, such as increased penetration of all types of resistance and increased damage, will be useful to many units. However, due to the specifics of how skills work, in particular, the super ability, it is best combined with those who inflict mass damage.

Based on the main mechanics of the character, we can distinguish different build options that represent specific combinations of stats, equipment, and allies. It is on this basis that the guide is compiled, which includes the most recommended equipment and optimal teams.

The girl is a three-faced messenger, chosen by prophecy along with the rest of the "Golden Descendants". Along with her in Janusopolis, one of the largest cities of Amphoraeus, you can meet two more holy maidens: the gatekeeper Trianna and the priestess Trinnona. They are better known as Tribios under the title of "Daughters of Destiny", who draw their power from the core of the flame of the titan of the gates of Janus.

How Tribby's Skills Work

The Messenger is an atypical Path of Harmony character, as buffing allies is not her only function. She also deals damage to all enemies using her ultimate and bonus attacks, which helps deal with clusters of small enemy targets.

In short, the skills are as follows:

• Basic Attack - minor damage to several targets.
• Emboldening Salvo - increased penetration of all types of resistance of partners.
• Superpower - Increases incoming damage to enemies and damage dealt.
• Talent - Conducting a bonus strike after allies use their ult.

Of course, the heroine cannot completely replace a secondary damage dealer of the attacking class due to her initial focus, but at the same time she shows herself quite well as an additional source of mass damage, especially in the presence of quantum vulnerability.

Active skills

The heroine's basic active skills include: technique, basic attack, skill и superpowerThese skills are designed to specifically distribute buffs and damage, giving the team an advantage during combat.

ive skills

ive skills contain талант, which allows the heroine to inflict even more damage during a battle at the expense of her allies.

The order of leveling abilities

Super Ability > Skill/Talent > Basic Attack

Recommended skill improvement sequence:

1. Superpower - one of the main sources of damage, as well as a key boost for allies in the form of increased damage inflicted on enemies.
2. Emboldening Salvo и талант — are pumped up depending on which task is the highest priority. For example, if the messenger acts only as a , then preference is given to the skill. If you need to deal more damage with a bonus attack in an area, you can first increase the talent level.
3. Basic Attack - not particularly important for the position in of leveling, but allows you to deal more damage to multiple targets, restore energy and skill points while the Consecration status is active.

Tracks

All traces of the heroine:

Crete. bonus +5,3% (level 1)
"The Lamb Behind the Wall...": After performing a talent bonus attack, damage dealt increases by 72%. The effect can stack 3 times and lasts for 3 turns.	Crete. chance +2,7% (A2)	Crete. bonus +5,3% (A3)
HP+4% (A3)
"Glass ball with wings!": While the zone created by the super ability is active, Max HP increases by an amount equal to 9% of the sum of Max HP of all allies.	Crete. bonus +8% (A3)	Crete. chance +4% (A5)
Crete. damage +8% (A5)
"A pebble at the crossroads?": At the start of the battle, restores 30 energy to himself. After attacking allies, receives an additional 1,5 energy for each target hit.	HP+6% (A6)	Crete. chance +5,3% (level 75)	Crete. bonus +10,7% (level 80)

Total gain from stats contained in traces:

• Crete. bonus - 37,3%;
• crit chance – 12%;
• HP - 10%.

Eidolons

All consts:

E1	While the Super's zone is active and after allies attack enemies, true damage equal to 24% of that attack's total damage is dealt to enemies that took additional damage from the zone.
E2	The additional damage dealt by the zone is increased by 120% of the initial damage. After the zone is triggered, additional damage is dealt once more.
E3	Super Ability Level +2. Max Level - 15. Basic Attack Level +1. Max Level - 10.
E4	While Consecrated is active, allies ignore 18% of enemy targets' defense.
E5	Skill level +2. Talent level +2. Max level - 15.
E6	When the heroine uses the super ability, automatically performs a bonus talent attack against all enemies. The damage dealt by the bonus attack increases by 729%.

The best Eidolons of Tribby are E1, E2 и E4:

• First consta Allows you to deal more damage with your superpower after allies hit enemies, which has a positive effect on your team's combat potential. And true damage is added, which is fixed.
• Second Const. is also linked to the ult and directly enhances this ability. Additionally, when enemies take damage from the zone, another additional damage is triggered.
• Fourth Consta gives the squad the ability to ignore 18% of enemy defense, which in total significantly increases incoming DPS on enemy targets. However, the "Consecration" status from a skill or technique must be active for this to work.

If you want to invest in a character as a F2P player, it is recommended to stop at E2.

How to play as Tribby

The gameplay of the messenger from Amphoreus cannot be called standard, as for a representative of the Path of Harmony, since she combines two roles at once, thereby expanding the range of her capabilities during the battle. In particular, her skills allow her to simultaneously strengthen allies and deal with enemies.

It is worth noting that the heroine is able to perform moves quickly or slowly depending on the chosen build. However, this does not have a significant impact on the final sequence of actions - only the damage inflicted changes to a greater extent.

The main task remains to each second move activate ultimate. A similar outcome can be achieved with the help of allies (thanks to the mechanics of the third trace, which gives energy for the attacks of partners) or independently, if you have the necessary equipment and stats.

The Tribby rotation is as follows:

1. It is recommended to start with equipment, due to which the "Consecration" status will immediately appear at the beginning of the battle for 3 turns. This will save skill points for the team and will allow you not to wait for the turn for the buff to start working.
2. When the turn comes, it is mainly used base hitThe need for this skill arises when there is a lack of speed/energy in combination with allies who do not activate the third trace so often.
3. In the future, to constantly maintain the status of "Consecration", it will be necessary to alternate 1 skill and 2 normal pokes. In addition, this option makes it possible to bring the squad into the “plus” in of skill point consumption.
4. The superpower is used when it is ready - ideally no later than 2 turns after activation. The ult not only applies a buff, but also resets the number of bonus hits after allies use their superpowers once.

Advantages and disadvantages

The heroine is considered a valuable representative of the Path of Harmony for many damage dealers. However, despite her usefulness, she has certain "pros" and "cons". It is important to consider the existing strengths and weaknesses if you plan to use her in a team.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Offers versatile and powerful buffs, which directly increases the DPS of the entire team. Thanks to this, it can be combined with any damage dealers, and it doesn’t matter at all whether they play from penetration or periodic damage.	Works worse against single targets because the third trace restores energy after an ally's hit each enemy. As a result, the superpower gauge will fill up more slowly than in scenarios where there is a battle against a crowd of enemies.
Has good damage of its own, which comes from the super ability and the bonus strike of the talent. Moreover, the damage is distributed to all opponents, which makes it easier to deal with clusters of small mobs.	It follows from the first point that the unit Doesn't pair so well with heroes without splash damage or those who rarely attack. She remains a useful for them anyway, but the build becomes more complicated, since you will have to focus more on speed.
Highly effective in AoE content allows the heroine to ideally act as a for the age "Pure Fiction". With her in the team, closing this mode will become much easier and more comfortable.	For maximum exposure in of DPS dealt It is advisable to unlock the eidolons — optimally up to E2. The heroine is good against small monsters even without awakenings, but only with consts does she become a truly strong combat unit.
Great synergy with Erudite heroes thanks to the third trace, which provides energy when partners hit enemy targets. It is worth mentioning separately Great Gerta (Erudition: Ice), which derives much benefit from the union.
Economical in consuming skill points. The duration of the "Consecration" status is 3 turns, which allows you to alternate 1 skill and 2 basic attacks. Thus, the girl will create an additional skill point.

Best Tribby Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The demigoddess girl is considered a hybrid character of the Path of Harmony, performing the functions of a and a secondary damage dealer at the same time. Therefore, for full effectiveness in battle and helping the team, it is necessary to take into her features and mechanics when selecting stats:

• All skills scale from HPAs a result, the main emphasis is placed on health.
• Ultimate is an important skill, which means it will come in handy energy recovery.
• Since the gameplay involves dealing damage, you need Crete. damage и Crete. chance.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, the super ability is one of the key "buttons". It is charged by more frequent actions or with the help of allies if the third trace is open. For example, in a standard group with representatives of the Erudite, the ultimate is easily restored ively even at low speed, since these heroes attack in the area and quite actively.

The "slow" build is a classic for the Amphoreus Messenger, as it works well in most situations. However, the character is still able to place a greater emphasis on development. speeds, and there are scenarios where this actually makes sense.

To clearly determine which Tribbi build in XSR is more of a priority, let's take a closer look at both options.

"Slow" build	"Quick" build
No need to refresh the "Consecration" status from the skill often. Skill points for the team are generated more slowly.	More frequent use of the skill. At the same time, more active generation of skill points within the cycle.
Easy build, higher damage due to HP boots equipped and "flexibility" in of equipment choice.	The character is more difficult to assemble and at the same time sags in personal damage. Fewer suitable equipment options.
Initially, the heroine is effective in AoE content, where even without speed she steadily restores energy from the trail.	In situational fights, when there are few enemies or the main DPS does not deal damage in the area, speed will allow you not to lose energy.
No superpower within the start of the battle without assistance from allies or the signature cone.	The build is relevant if the team has enough sources of damage. Therefore, you can sacrifice HP for the sake of speed.
Overall, fewer ultimates are used throughout the battle, despite having the same buff duration and refresh rate.	More super powers, which also creates good synergy with the Dance! Dance! Dance! Cone and the Twilight Reach Eagle set.

Recommended stat values ​​to have at level 80:

• HP (health) - from 4-000 units.
• Crete. chance - from 70%
• Critical damage - from 140%
• speed - base 96 units, 88 units with "To the Rhapsodist Singing Elegies" ("slow" build); from 120 units ("fast" build)
• protection - from 1 units.

Light Cone Rating

The weapon should match the Path and also offer useful bonuses to both the heroine and her allies. However, first of all, it is worth paying attention to cones with energy restoration and action progress. The table considers suitable options.

Alternative equipment:

• "Worldly Pranks" (light) - the cone has high base HP and increases critical. indicators. However, its problem is that the heroine restores skill points only with a basic attack, which is why the buff for the team will work unstable. In addition, there is no energy regen.
• "Cut out the moon and cut out the clouds", "Date with the Stars",  "The Adventures of Gresavile" (epic) - more situational options, which, however, can be used before obtaining the weapons discussed above.

What relics and decorations are needed

Artifacts are chosen based on the build the character plays in. Therefore, it is important to highlight situations in which sets become most preferable. As for bonuses and stats, these can be crits, HP, elemental damage, energy recovery or various buffs for allies.

cave relics

There is also an option to equip "Genius of Diamond Stars", which will work in any build. However, in a slow build it is inferior to the "Elegy-singing Rhapsodist", and in a fast build it is less optimal than the "Eagle of the Twilight Reach". Thus, despite its versatility, it loses to specialized sets in their niche. It is mainly used until the necessary sets can be assembled.

planar decorations

In addition to the sets considered, you can wear:

• "The Dreamland of Penaconia" — an alternative option with energy. Optimal in monoquantum team, but will also work with various elements if the DPS character has a quantum element. Otherwise, it is better to use "Mermaid, Flooded Shores" or "Living Vonvac" to increase VE.
• "The Fleet of the Ageless" — slightly worse in the "fast" build, since it does not advance the turn and does not provide energy. At the same time, it increases HP, which will have a positive effect on damage, and strengthens allies. If the rotation is built properly without decoration, it is used to buff the attack.

Squad Guide for Tribby in HSR

In the team, Tribby plays the role of a with universal buffs that will be useful to many characters (increasing overall damage and penetration of all types of resistance). However, her mechanics still suggest synergy with AoE damage dealers. This primarily includes representatives of the Path of Erudition, as well as some units of Destruction, Memory or Nothingness. This is due to the peculiarity of the third trace, which restores energy for each enemy target hit by an ally.

In addition, Tribby interacts well with:

• Damage dealers scaling from HP. Considering that the heroine offers effects that directly increase DPS, she will suit such fighters. This area also includes those who play from penetration of vulnerability or DoT damage.
• Heroes who specialize in bonus attack. This is where we consider fighters who are not prone to massive damage. However, with sufficient acceleration and constant bonus strike, they can still charge the messenger's super ability.

Additionally, it is worth noting that bonus attacks are only triggered by using ultimates allies. This should also be taken into when selecting a team. Ideally, her partners should rely on their superpowers and activate them consistently.

In any case, the heroine can be combined with any DPS characters if desired. However, it is important to make sure that she is able to restore the ultimate every 2 turns without outside . It is in such cases that the use of a speed build becomes relevant.

Which characters are suitable?

The table shows the units that synergize best with the Demigoddess:

The following are optional heroes that can benefit from interaction with the unit:

• Primary and secondary DPS characters:

• Healers and shield guardians:

• Debuffers and Buffers:

Examples of the best teams

The following squads can be formed with the character:

Is it worth knocking out?

Tribby is a legendary heroine of the Path of Harmony and offers allies such buffs as increased penetration of all types of resistance and overall damage. Such enhancements are quite universal due to the direct impact on damage, which allows using the messenger from Amphoraeus for literally any DPS character. However, the girl is not considered a classic , as she has attacking skills in her arsenal. In particular, she deals damage with the help of a super ability and a bonus attack of a talent.

It is important for the heroine to charge her superpower on a stable basis in order to be as effective as possible. Her partners can help her with this thanks to a trace that restores energy if squad hit enemy targets. Thus, the messenger works great with AoE damage dealers, affecting all enemies, as this allows her to ult frequently without the active participation of the heroine herself. At the same time, she is still able to take the initiative and use a “speed” build, which will be in demand in battles against a smaller number of enemies in combination with single-target heroes.

To sum it up, the character is worth picking if you need a with universal buffs in a team created for ing Great Hertha (Erudition: Ice) thanks to the perfect synergy between their mechanics and focus on mass damage. It is in this segment that she reveals herself best. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that, if desired, she can become a in absolutely any group and bring benefits there if you adjust the build in the direction of increased speed. However, in the latter case, there are often no less worthy alternatives.

Which is better: signal or E1

Let's take a closer look at the features offered by the Eidolon and Signature Cone:

• E1 is a very strong consistency that allows you to apply additional true damage while the super ability zone is active. This helps increase the overall DPS of the entire team, and also makes the heroine stronger against dense enemies, since the damage is concentrated on the target with the largest health reserve.
• Signa is primarily aimed at simplifying the build by increasing crit. and energy regeneration. However, it will also be useful for some squads if the main DD also cares about crit. This is a great option for a classic build, and it gives the opportunity to ult closer to the beginning of the fight.

Overall, the Cone does make the build process more comfortable, which can be a priority in certain situations. However, the first Eidolon is a versatile and powerful buff for the entire party, regardless of the party composition and content being played. Plus, there are other great options, like 4⭐ Dance! Dance! Dance! or 3⭐ Interlocking Gears.
