Tingyun’s Kit And Cycle Rotation (At Max Level)

Tingyun’s kit is pretty straightforward. She buffs the attack of your main DPS. Let’s look closer to understanding her best playstyle in Honkai Star Rail.

Tingyun is a very Skill Point positive characteras her Skill buff stays active for three turns. Her Skill increases one ally’s Attack %, so you must use it on your main DPS. Tingyun’s Ultimate buffs an ally’s damage and regenerates 50 energy for them. Her Talent allows the ally with Benediction to do additional Lightning damage.

The ideal way to play Tingyun is touse her Skill at the first turn to give Benediction to the main DPS and continue making Basic Attacks for 3 turns.Use her Ultimate on the Main DPS when the extra 50 energy recharges their Ultimate.

Tingyun’s Auto-Play Behavior in HSR

Tingyun’s auto-play behavior is aligned with her ideal play style. Theauto-play AI correctly identifies your team’s main DPSand uses Tingyun’s Skill to apply Benediction on them at the start of the battle. The AI then follows with Basic Attacks as long as the Benediction stays active. Besides that,Tingyun’s auto-play AI uses her Ultimate the moment it is fully chargedon the main DPS.

Auto-Play Behavior Turn Cycle:Skill > Basic Attack > Basic Attack > Basic Attack > Skill.
