Here we have collected all the information you need to know about the best Tingyun build in Honkai Star Rail, because you won't be able to unlock its full potential without a proper build that includes eidolons, light cones, and relics.

The best Tingyun build in Honkai Star Rail

Tingyun follows the path of Harmony and deals electricity damage, but her main skill is to enhance the abilities of other party members. She is a 4-star support character that is great for buffing DPS characters to increase their damage output.

It is recommended that Tingyun builds prioritize attack, energy regeneration rate, and movement speed in order to move more and use skills more often.

Before diving into the details, let's start with an overview:

• The best light cones: The battle is not over Carve the moon and cut the clouds Memories of the past Dance! Dance! Dance!
• Best Relics and Ornaments: Wild Wheat Shooter, Falling Meteor Thief, Space Sealing Station, Living Wonwak.
• Best Squad: Zele, Bronya and Bailu.

Now let's first take a closer look at the best Tingyun light cones in Honkai Rail.

Best Light Cones for Tingyun

The list of character's best light cones includes:

• But the Battle Isn't Over
• Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds
• Memories of the past
• Dance! Dance! Dance!
• Chorus

Your chosen Tingyun weapon must match the Path of Harmony for the passive effect to take effect.

Tingyun greatly benefits from the increased energy regeneration rate offered by the Battle Not Over Light Cone, Armor's signature cone, making her an ideal user of this item. She can use it to increase the next ally's damage after using her skill and to replenish the team's skill points after activating her ultimate.

However, The Battle Is Not Over is a 5-Star Light Cone and thus can be tricky to get as it depends on the banner's luck. Luckily, there are several 4-Star Light Cones in the game that can be a great choice for Tingyun. Her top 4-star light cones include Cut the Moon and Cut the Clouds, Memories of the Past, and Dance! Dance! Dance!, and of the 3-star weapons, you should prefer the Choir.

Tingyun's skills are great for strengthening a squad, and Carve Moon and Shape Clouds light cone helps her maintain those abilities. In addition, having this light cone increases her attack stat, which is very useful because the character's benefits scale with her current attack power level.

The list of the best Tingyun relics includes:

Arrow of wild wheat (relic)

Tingyun will benefit from artifacts that increase speed and energy recovery. Therefore, when choosing a set of relics for her, this should be your top priority.

The Wild Wheat Shooter is the perfect Tingyun relic in Honkai Star Rail. It is mainly used in a two-piece set to increase attack power. But since the relic offers +12% attack, +12% base attack damage, and +6% speed in the early game, a 4-piece set is also a viable option for this character.

As a result, the best choice when creating the best Tingyun build is the Wild Wheat Shooter. Alternatively, Falling Meteor Thief would be an excellent support set.
