Should You Build Tingyun?

Despite being one of the characters that were released in Day 1, Tingyun is still a great 4-star Harmony unit thanks to her Energy restoration.

If you have Tingyun, go ahead and build her as soon as you can since she can fit into a lot of team comps that require energy.

Main Stats Sub Stats
Body: ATK%
Feet: SPD
Sphere: ATK%
Rope: Energy Regen
ATK% ★★★
SPD ★★★
HP% ★★
Effect RES% ★★

This build allows Tingyun to provide other useful buffs besides the buffs her kit already has. Sacerdos increases her SPD and provides a stacking CRIT DMG boost for the ally she uses her Skill or Ultimate on.

Broken Keel increases Tingyun's resistance to debuffs thanks to the Effect RES and increases the CRIT DMG of the party, as long as she meets the 30% Effect RES requirement. Having ATK% Body and Sphere pieces is also useful since Benediction scales with ATK%.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
ATK 2400 or above
SPD 146 / 156 / 160+
HP 3000 or above

Tingyun's ATK buffs scales on the ATK stat, so prioritize that along with SPD. Having some HP sub-stats will help Tingyun survive hard-hitting attacks.

Having high SPD on Tingyun allows her to regen SP and Energy more often by having more turns. Higher SPD is even better, but try to hit SPD Breakpoints.

Tingyun's Best Teams

Tingyun F2P Team

Support Support Main DPS Healer
Star Rail - TingyunTingyun Star Rail - YukongYukong Star Rail - Dan HengDan Heng Star Rail - NatashaNatasha

As one of the best supports in the game, Tingyun can be added to any Team Comp that has room for her. For a F2P team, Dan Heng would especially want Tingyun in the team since his Talent, which only activates when he's targeted by an ally's ability, synergizes well with her.

Hyper Carry Teams

Support Support Main DPS Healer
Star Rail - TingyunTingyun Star Rail - SparkleSparkle Any DPS Character Star Rail - HuohuoHuohuo

Tingyun's offensive buffs are great by themselves, but pairing her with another offensive buffer like Sparkle will significantly ramp up the damage output of a single Main DPS unit. This enables the DPS to be powerful enough to take out enemies with ease.

Character Merits
Star Rail - SundaySunday Sunday can be used to turn advance the DPS. Sunday is best used if you don't have Huohuo.
Star Rail - AstaAsta Asta provides Speed and stacking Attack buffs for the whole team.
Star Rail - BronyaBronya Bronya provides DMG buffs and extra turns to the DPS.
Star Rail - RobinRobin Robin provides DMG buffs and an extra turn for her other allies when she uses her Ultimate.
Star Rail - Ruan MeiRuan Mei Ruan Mei brings more unique buffs like Break Efficiency and All RES PEN, which can be paired well with Tingyun's buffs.
Star Rail - HanyaHanya Can replace Sparkle. Hanya brings single-target SPD and ATK buffs, as well as SP restoration which can also pair well with Tingyun's buffs.
Hunt
Destruction

Units
Tingyun will greatly improve the damage of any offensive unit designated as the Main DPS.

Tingyun's Best Relics and Ornaments

All Recommended Relics and Ornaments

Relics Rating & Merits
Sacerdos Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal x4 ★★★★★ - Best
Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal is the best set for Tingyun as it allows her to buff a single-target ally with her Skill and Ultimate.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Messenger Traversing Hackerspace x4 ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Messenger is also a great set for Tingyun since it increases her SPD and provides a party-wide SPD buff after using her Ult.
Eagle of Twilight Line Eagle of Twilight Line x4 ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best
Eagle of Twilight Line can be used by Tingyun since it gives her Advance Forward after using her Ult, which means she gets her next turn much earlier. This allows her to get her Ult back up more easily by restoring Energy through quick turns.
Ornaments Merits
Broken Keel Broken Keel ★★★★★ - Best
Gives a CRIT DMG buff for the team, which provides the highest DPS increase out of all the support Ornaments. Requires Effect RES from substats or other bonuses to activate the CRIT DMG buff.
Sprightly Vonwacq Sprightly Vonwacq ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Tingyun can use Sprightly Vonwacq to advance her first turn in the turn order. With enough SPD, Tingyun can go first over faster enemies.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas Lushaka, the Sunken Seas ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best
Lushaka can be used if Tingyun is paired with a DPS that scales on ATK. This requires the DPS to be in the 1st position in the party.

Relic List & Guide

Tingyun's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Light Cone Why We Recommend It
Star Rail - Dance! Dance! Dance! Light Cone Dance! Dance! Dance! ★★★★★ - Best
Dance! Dance! Dance! is generally Tingyun's best-in-slot since it allows her to advance forward other party members.

This is especially useful in Endgame content where you want to minimize the cycles and turns needed to clear a stage.

Flowing Nightglow is the best Light Cone for Tingyun in terms of providing optimal DMG since it increases her ATK and helps her increase the DMG dealt by the party when she uses her Ultimate.
Star Rail - But the Battle Isn But the Battle Isn't Over ★★★★☆ - Great
But the Battle Isn't Over provides Tingyun some Energy Regen and can provide a Skill Point after using her Ultimate. The DMG buff requires Tingyun to be before the DPS in the turn order for this to be effective.
Star Rail - Earthly Escapade Light Cone Earthly Escapade ★★★★☆ - Great
Earthly Escapade provides party-wide CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG buffs. Tingyun would want to be before the DPS so that the latter can receive the DMG buff.
Star Rail - A Grounded Ascent Light Cone A Grounded Ascent ★★★☆☆ - Good
A Grounded Ascent provides energy restoration to Tingyun and DMG buffs to the ally targeted with her Skill or Ultimate. It also provides some bonus SP restoration after two uses of her Skill or Ultimate.
Star Rail - Meshing Cogs Light Cone Meshing Cogs ★★★☆☆ - Good
Meshing Cogs can provide Tingyun energy whenever she attacks or gets hit. This allows Tingyun to get her Ultimate back quicker. This is also a Light Cone you can easily S5 to gain its maximum potential.
