I’ve put together the Light Cones, Relics, Trace priority, stat priority, teams, and Eidolon verdicts for the best Rin Tohsaka build in this guide, covering both her intended Sub-DPS role and her E1-enabled Main DPS alternative.
Rin Tohsaka is a 5-star Quantum unit on the Path of Erudition, added to Honkai Star Rail through the Fate collaboration (Phase 2). She’s built almost entirely around Archer, sharing her own buffs with him and unlocking a shared Joint Follow-Up ATK that neither character can perform alone (hence the “Joint”).

How to Play Rin Tohsaka: Rotation and Tips
Rin’s turn order matters more than her button presses. Her Talent, Gem Magecraft, builds “Gem Energy” every time an ally spends or recovers Skill Points, and once she holds 15 or more (or the party has 7 or more Skill Points banked), her Skill upgrades into the AoE Second Magic Experiment.
Her real payoff is the Joint Follow-Up ATK, Freeform Tohsaka Style: acting right after Archer fires his own Skill triggers a free, shared AoE hit and refunds 4 Skill Points to the whole party. Keep Rin’s SPD above Sparkle’s so she can act between Archer’s turns and reset that window every cycle.
