Tribbie is back, and if you missed her the first time, this rerun is your sign to pull. A powerhouse Quantum support from the Harmony Path, Tribbie does way more than just buff. She enables wild follow up chains, boosts teamwide damage, and holds her own with surprisingly high scaling. If you build her right, she is the kind of unit that can shape entire teams around her.

What Makes Tribbie So Good

Tribbie’s kit is built around synergy. She applies Rest Penetration to lower enemy defenses, sets up a massive damage amplifying zone with her Ultimate, and gets consistent follow up attacks based on how often your team is using their ultimates. The best part? Her damage scales with HP, so she is tanky and still contributes meaningful burst.

If you are running a team that relies on frequent ultimates or follow ups, she fits in perfectly.

Best Relics for Tribbie

Tribbie’s main set is all about maximizing her Quantum presence while leaning into her slow playstyle. But there’s another great relic option if you’re focused more on raw Quantum pressure.

Primary Set

• Poet of Mourning Collapse 4 piece
  • Boosts Quantum Damage
  • Adds Crit Rate and benefits from having Speed under 95
  • Perfect for her slow, heavy hitting follow up style

Strong Alternative

• Genius of Brilliant Stars 4 piece
  • A great option if you want to focus more on Quantum Penetration and consistent damage
  • Ignores up to 20% defense of the target enemy
  • Especially useful against enemies with Quantum Weakness
  • More aggressive and less reliant on timing windows

Planar Ornaments That Work

• Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne
  • Boosts Crit Damage when the wearer’s follow ups are triggered
  • Absolutely perfect synergy with her Talent and Light Cone setups
  • Helps Tribbie deal surprising damage while still doing her Harmony job

Alternatives

• Sprightly Vonwacq
  • Helps her regenerate energy and rotate faster in certain team comps
• Broken Keel
  • Great for teamwide support in high debuff content
  • Works if you are using her more defensively with HP% builds

What Stats to Prioritize

You do not need to overcomplicate this. Tribbie thrives on HP scaling and needs a balance between staying tanky and landing meaningful follow ups.

• Body: Crit Rate or HP percent
• Feet: HP percent if you are using her slow build, or Speed if you want her more active
• Sphere: Quantum Damage or HP percent
• Rope: Energy Regeneration Rate or HP percent

Substats to Look For:

HP percent, Crit Rate, Speed (but not too much), Energy Regeneration

Her Best Light Cones

She has a signature cone (If Time Were a Flower) and yes, it is amazing. But you do not need it to make her viable.

• Best: If Time Were a Flower
  • Crit Damage, energy regeneration, and lets her grant Presage
  • Pairs perfectly with her passive
• Solid Alternatives:
  • Dance Dance Dance – Great for zero cycle team loops
  • Meshing Cogs – Free option that helps with energy
  • Memories of the Past – A little Break Effect plus energy, not bad for budget setups

How to Use Her in Battle

1. Start with her Skill to apply Res Penetration
2. Use your allies’ Ultimates to stack up for Tribbie’s Talent
3. Activate Tribbie’s Ultimate when you need that extra push. It creates a damage zone that scales off your team’s HP
4. Let her do her thing. Her passive follow ups will kick in and help clean house

Pro tip: Keep her under 95 Speed if you are running the Poet set. The extra Crit Rate and utility make it more than worth it.

Team Ideas

Tribbie works well in a lot of comps, but here are some of my favorite setups:

Meta Hypercarry: The Herta-Centric Squad

The Herta + Jade + Tribbie + Lingsha/Huohuo

• Why it works: Herta spams AoE ultimates, triggering Tribbie’s follow‑ups repeatedly while enabling massive damage amplification through Res PEN and Crit DMG boosts. Jade adds extra AoE pressure and follow‑ups. Lingsha or Huohuo provide sustain, shields, and energy flow.

Premium Erudition/AoE: Aglaea Team

Aglaea + Sunday + Tribbie + Lingsha

• Why it works: Aglaea is a high attack-frequency DPS, getting huge value from Res PEN. Sunday advances actions and boosts Crit DMG, while Tribbie amplifies every AoE hit. Lingsha secures healing and extra follow‑ups.

Follow‑Up Frenzy: Feixiao Lineup

Feixiao + Topaz + Aventurine + Tribbie

• Why it works: Feixiao’s rapid follow‑up attacks activate Tribbie’s passive constantly. Topaz buffs crit and follow‑ups; Aventurine adds shields and further follow‑ups.

Mydei Hypercarry Setup

Mydei + Tribbie + Sunday/Bronya + Huohuo/Luocha

• Why it works: Mydei delivers frequent multi‑hit damage that scales with Tribbie’s Res PEN zone. Sunday or Bronya provides action advancement/energy support, while healers add sustain.

Castorice Quantum Supreme

Castorice + Tribbie + Fu Xuan/Sparkle + Healer (Hyacine/Gallagher)

• Why it works: Castorice benefits from Res PEN and consistent follow‑ups. Fu Xuan or Sparkle help with Quantum synergy and energy flow. A healer like Hyacine supports long fights.

F2P-Friendly & Accessible

Serval + Tribbie + Remembrance Trailblazer + Gallagher

• Why it works: Serval provides AoE lightning spam to trigger follow‑ups. Tribbie adds Res PEN. Remembrance and Gallagher offer energy, Crit boosts, and healing, making this entire team obtainable and effective.

Mono‑Quantum Team

Jade + Silver Wolf + Fu Xuan + Tribbie

• Why it works: Silver Wolf sets up Quantum weaknesses and defense shred, capitalizing on Tribbie’s Res PEN. Jade gives AoE follow‑ups, enhancing Quantum output. Fu Xuan adds energy and defense stability.

Eidolons Worth Mentioning

Even just getting her E1 adds a massive power spike—it increases her bonus Quantum damage and makes her follow-ups way more impactful.

• E2 adds durability
• E4 makes enemies take even more damage in her zone
• E6 adds a huge AOE follow-up after her ultimate

Final Thoughts

Tribbie is one of those characters you underestimate until you finally build her. Then she becomes the glue that makes half your teams click. She buffs, she punishes enemies through Res Pen, and her follow-ups mean she’s never idle. Her rerun is a golden opportunity to pick up a unit that will stay useful long after this patch ends.
