5 mistakes you should not make while playing Tribbie in Honkai Star Rail

1) Building Tribbie with wrong gear and stats

When building Tribbie in Honkai Star Rail, ensure to use the correct gear sets, Light Cones, and prioritize the right stats. Since it takes an absurd amount of Trailblaze Power to farm the perfect Relic and Planar Ornament sets, you should get ones that allow this Harmony character to utilize her abilities to their fullest.

Since Tribbie is a Harmony character, you must give her an appropriate gear set that synergizes with her abilities. As for the stats, this newly released Chrysios Heir needs a decent amount of HP and CRIT stats. If you are wondering what gear sets you should farm for this 5-star, we recommend checking out our Tribbie build guide.

2) Placing Tribbie in team compositions that don't suit her

Since you must build teams featuring four characters in Honkai Star Rail to clear most activities, each unit in the compositions should synergize with others. While Tribbie can be placed in most teams, she must be in a dual DPS composition to unleash her abilities’ fullest potential. Hence, we recommend using her in teams that can utilize her abilities.

If you are not sure about what characters to use when building the perfect team for this Chrysos Heir, check out our Tribbie teams guide.

3) Overprioritizing one stat

One of the common mistakes Trailblazers make when building a character in Honkai Star Rail is overprioritizing one stat. Since Tribbie needs HP and both CRIT stats to function properly, you should not look for a single stat. If you do so, the build won’t work as intended and you’ll just waste a significant amount of Trailblaze Power.

Hence, we recommend you look for all necessary stats on the Relic and Planar Ornament pieces so that the Tribbie build works perfectly.

When playing with Tribbie in Honkai Star Rail, make sure you understand how her abilities work — this will help you easily master her playstyle. While her buffs are easy to use, triggering them at the right time is extremely crucial, as you shouldn’t waste her turn, especially in end-game activities.

Therefore, you should take a look at Tribbie’s abilities and how her kit functions before taking her to the battlefield. If you are still wondering how you can master her playstyle, you can check out our Tribbie guide.

5) Leveling up the incorrect Traces

Like most Harmony in Honkai Star Rail, Tribbie must use her abilities to grant various buffs to her team members. As you can level up every one of her abilities individually, you should always make sure to level up the Traces she needs first.

As Tribbie doesn't need her Basic ATK and Passive Talent to boost her allies' damage, avoid upgrading them before her Ultimate and Skill. If you are running low on Trace level-up materials, following this step is a wise decision, as you don't have to spend extra Trailblaze Power to farm more materials.
