Lightning
The HarmonyThe best 4-star support in Honkai: Star Rail. Tingyun elevates any hypercarry with her Benediction Skill, granting massive ATK and additional Lightning DMG, then caps it off with her Energy-restoring Ultimate that also boosts the target's damage by 50%, all while remaining almost entirely Skill Point positive.

Deals Lightning DMG equal to 100% of Tingyun's ATK to a single enemy. Low priority skill; using the Skill for Benediction is almost always better, though this gains 20 Energy. Talents can trigger off this to deal additional Lightning DMG if Benediction is active.

Soothing Melody
Grants a single ally with Benediction, increasing their ATK by 50%, up to 25% of Tingyun's current ATK. While Benediction is active, the ally deals Additional Lightning DMG equal to 40% of their ATK once per attack. Benediction lasts for 3 turns and only applies to the most recent target. This raw multiplier bonus is among the rarest and most powerful damage amplifiers in the game.

Ultimate
Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds
Regenerates 50 Energy for a single ally and increases the target's DMG by 50% for 2 turns. At 130 Energy cost, Tingyun's Ultimate is expensive but the payoff is exceptional: giving 50 flat Energy to any ally dramatically accelerates their Ultimate cycling, especially for Energy-hungry carries. At E6, this becomes 60 Energy.

Violet Sparknado
When Tingyun uses her Basic ATK, the ally with Benediction immediately deals Additional Lightning DMG equal to 60% of that ally's ATK to the same enemy. This allows Tingyun to contribute meaningful non-negligible damage between Skill casts, and doesn't consume Benediction charges. An extra deterrent for trash waves.

Technique
Gentle Breeze
Tingyun immediately regenerates 50 Energy upon using her Technique. Allows her to enter battle already partway toward her first Ultimate, meaning she can restore Energy to her carry faster on wave 1 and apply Benediction sooner in the opening rotation.

Best Light Cones
#1
A Grounded Ascent
Her best-in-slot. Regenerates 8 Energy after using Skill or Ultimate on an ally, grants a stacking DMG buff (up to 24% per stack, 3 stacks) to the buffed ally, and refunds 1 Skill Point every 2 Skill or Ultimate uses. Addresses all of Tingyun's rotation needs simultaneously.
#2
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Most commonly used alternative. When Tingyun uses her Ultimate, advances all allies' actions by 24% (at S5). Allows high-Speed Tingyun to grant the team extra turns, accelerating the entire team's action economy. Particularly strong combined with other action-advance effects.
#3
Meshing Cogs
Solid F2P accessible option from Stellar Warp. Regenerates 8 Energy each time Tingyun is attacked or uses a Basic ATK (once per turn), enabling faster Ultimate cycling without any investment.
#4
But the Battle Isn't Over
Increases Energy Regeneration Rate by 18% and regenerates 1 Skill Point every 2 Ultimates. When Tingyun uses her Skill, the next acting ally deals 50% more DMG for 1 turn. A viable alternative if you have it from a previous banner.
#5
Planetary Rendezvous
Specialist option: provides a 24% DMG increase (at S5) to allies of the same element as Tingyun (Lightning). Best when your main carry is also Lightning-element. Easy to fully superimpose from Stellar Warp.
Best Relics
Cavern Sets
1
Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal (4pc)
Her best-in-slot cavern set. The 2pc grants 6% SPD. The 4pc bonus, when using Skill or Ultimate on a single ally target, increases that ally's CRIT DMG by 18% per stack (up to 2 stacks, lasting 2 turns). This means Tingyun can provide up to 36% CRIT DMG to the carry on top of all her other buffs, exceptional for any CRIT-scaling DPS.
2
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace (4pc)
Good team-wide supportive option. 2pc gives 6% SPD. 4pc: when the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, all allies gain 12% SPD for 1 turn. Best timed carefully to ensure the SPD buff benefits key members at the right moment. Strong when coordinated with high-damage turns.
3
+
Sacerdos' 2pc + Musketeer 2pc (Mixed)
Flexible 2-piece combination when you don't have a clean 4pc set with strong substats. Sacerdos 2pc gives 6% SPD; Musketeer 2pc gives 12% ATK and 6% SPD on the 4pc (or 12% ATK on 2pc). Mix and match based on which pieces have the best substats.
Planar Ornament Sets
1
Sprightly Vonwacq
Best planar set for Tingyun. Grants 5% Energy Regen Rate plus, when SPD reaches 120+, advances Tingyun's action forward by 40% at the start of battle. This lets her apply Benediction before her allies act, accelerate rotations, and access her Ultimate sooner on wave 1, critical for a support character.
2
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas
Grants 5% Energy Regen Rate. If Tingyun is not the first character in the team lineup, increases the first character's ATK by 12%. Excellent option for supporting a single primary ATK-scaling DPS, commonly used in practice.
3
Fleet of the Ageless
Increases Tingyun's Max HP by 12%. When her SPD reaches 120 or higher, all allies' ATK increases by 8%. Straightforward supportive option that also improves Tingyun's survivability.
4
Broken Keel
Increases Effect RES by 10%. When Effect RES is 30% or higher, all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 10%. Good if you can comfortably reach 30% Effect RES through substats, providing a teamwide CRIT DMG bonus.
Best Teams for Tingyun
Tingyun excels in hypercarry setups since all her buffs target a single ally. The more your carry relies on their Ultimate and ATK scaling, the more value Tingyun adds to the team.
01 · Phainon Hypercarry
Most used team in current MoC
02 · Yunli / Clara Hypercarry

03 · Dan Heng Permansor Terrae
High synergy carry
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae appears as a high-frequency Tingyun partner in MoC, PF, and AS data. Tingyun's Energy restore and DMG buffs synergize well with Permansor Terrae's kit. Sparkle handles Skill Point generation; Aventurine provides shielding.

Eidolons
E
1
Windfall of Lucky Springs
After using their Ultimate, the ally with Benediction gains a +20% SPD increase for 1 turn. Provides a meaningful speed boost to the carry immediately after Tingyun's Ultimate, improving their action economy for that turn, especially valuable for carries who rely on acting quickly after receiving buffs.
Good Utility
E
2
Gainfully Gives, Givingly Gains
The ally with Benediction regenerates 5 Energy after defeating an enemy. This effect can only be triggered once per turn. Useful in wave-based content and AoE scenarios where the carry is eliminating enemies frequently, further reducing their Ultimate cooldown.
Wave Content
E

Halcyon Bequest
Ultimate Lv. +2 (up to Lv. 15) and Basic ATK Lv. +1 (up to Lv. 10). Higher Ultimate level increases the DMG boost granted to the target ally and improves overall skill scaling. Meaningful since the Ultimate is Tingyun's second most important buff source.
Solid Upgrade
E
4
Jovial Versatility
The DMG multiplier provided by Benediction increases by 20%. This raises the additional Lightning DMG the buffed ally deals from 40% to 60% of their ATK (at max Skill). A direct and significant improvement to Benediction's raw multiplier bonus, one of the strongest eidolons per copy.
High Value
E
5
Sauntering Coquette
Skill Lv. +2 (up to Lv. 15) and Talent Lv. +2 (up to Lv. 15). Higher Skill level increases the ATK boost cap from Benediction. Higher Talent level raises the additional Lightning DMG from Tingyun's Basic ATK proc from 60% to a higher value. Both improve her core buffing capacity.
Incremental

Peace Brings Wealth to All
Ultimate regenerates 10 more Energy for the target ally, raising the total from 50 to 60. This seemingly modest increase has an outsized impact in practice: an extra 10 flat Energy changes which rotation turns a carry can fire their Ultimate on, often enabling one additional Ultimate per fight in tightly optimized rotations.
High Impact97.26% usage at E6
Major Traces
Nourished Joviality
Ascension 2
Tingyun's SPD increases by 20% for 1 turn after using Skill. Tingyun already has an exceptionally high base SPD of 112, making this 20% boost extremely potent. The faster she moves after using Benediction, the faster she can reapply it and regenerate Energy for her carry.
Knell Subdual
Ascension 4
Basic ATK DMG increases by 40%. Improves Tingyun's Basic ATK damage output and synergizes with her Talent (Violet Sparknado), which triggers additional Lightning DMG from the buffed ally whenever Tingyun uses Basic ATK. A modest damage contribution from what is otherwise a supportive move.
Jubilant Passage
Ascension 6
Tingyun immediately regenerates 5 Energy at the start of her turn. This is arguably her most important trace: the faster Tingyun cycles her own Energy, the faster she uses her Ultimate. 5 free Energy per turn adds up significantly over the course of a battle and is the highest priority trace to unlock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Tingyun remains one of the most valuable 4-star supports in the game. Her ability to simultaneously boost ATK, provide a raw DMG multiplier through Benediction, and restore 50 Energy with a 50% DMG boost via her Ultimate is a combination no other single character can fully replicate at her rarity. She appears as a top partner in current MoC, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow data.
Benediction's additional Lightning DMG is a raw increase to the buffed ally's DMG multiplier, equal to 40% of their ATK per hit (at max Skill level). This fires once per attack action, not once per hit, so multi-hit abilities still trigger it only once. Because it's tied to turn count rather than action count, it does not get consumed by Extra Actions like Seele's Resurgence, follow-up attacks, or Ultimates. This makes it incredibly efficient for carries that generate many extra actions.
Speed is the single most important stat for Tingyun. The recommended targets are 134 SPD or 143+ SPD. Reaching 134 SPD allows her to act more frequently than many enemies and maintains strong buff uptime. At 143+ SPD, Tingyun gains even more turns relative to the team. Her base SPD of 112 and the A2 trace's 20% SPD boost after Skill use make high Speed highly achievable with the right relic substats.
Tingyun's buffs are entirely single-target: Benediction, her Ultimate's DMG boost, and the Energy restore all target one ally. This means she gets significantly less value in multi-DPS or DoT team compositions where no single carry is the primary damage source. She is best-in-slot for true hypercarry setups but will underperform in teams designed around spreading damage or applying debuffs across multiple damage dealers.
Tingyun's eidolons are worth acquiring at your convenience since she frequently reappears on banners as an off-rate 4-star. E4 (Jovial Versatility) increases Benediction's DMG multiplier by 20%, which is a direct and substantial buff. E6 (Peace Brings Wealth to All) raises her Energy restore from 50 to 60, which sounds small but meaningfully changes rotation timing in practice. At E6, 97.26% of players who used Tingyun in MoC had her at this eidolon, and the investment is well rewarded.
Tingyun benefits any carry that (1) scales heavily on ATK, (2) relies on their Ultimate frequently, and (3) is the primary damage source in the team. Top synergy partners based on current data include Phainon, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, Yunli, Clara, and Argenti. Argenti in particular loves Tingyun's Energy battery due to his extremely high Ultimate cost. Any Energy-hungry carry that can exploit her 50-60 Energy restore will get outsized value from her.
