Gotham Knights: Best Robin Build

Robin is the most stealth-focused character in Gotham Knights. His kit focuses on taking down enemies while undetected.

In addition, specific skill upgrades allow him to take down even larger enemies like brutes in one shot.

If you prefer a more all-in gameplay instead of stealth, consider checking out our guide on the best build for Red Hood in Gotham Knights.

In this guide, I will showcase the best level 40 Robin build in Gotham Knights focusing on his ideal loadout, momentum abilities, and skill trees.

Best Robin Loadout

Just like other characters in Gotham Knights, Robin truly shines when he gets to level 40 with legendary gear.

Specifically, this is his best loadout in the game:

  • Melee: Modular Concussive Bo Staff (deals concussive elemental damage and increases critical damage after a knockout)
  • Ranged: Cryogenic Slingshot (can easily freeze enemies and quickly grants momentum)
  • Suit: Linked Suit (combines defensive and offensive buffs)

While legendary gear is hard to gain since it depends on time, effort, and luck, it’s worth it since it will boost your stats significantly.

Also, other legendary gear will work and can even be better than the recommended one with the proper build. However, you need to make sure to equally balance stats between power, health, defense, and crit stats.

Best Robin Momentum Abilities

While all of Robin’s momentum abilities can shine in the right circumstances, some allow for uniquely powerful combos with other skills. Here are Robin’s best abilities in Gotham Knights.

Wraith

Wraith has solid synergy with Robin’s entire kit. It makes enemies Afraid and spreads Fear amongst them, while also increasing Robin’s critical rate and critical damage by 15%.

Fireworks

Fireworks is Robin’s bread-and-butter skill. It triggers immediately when cast and deals solid damage over time on a large area of effect.

On top of that, it also deals elemental damage, thus allowing for great synergy with other skills.

Microbots

Robin’s ultimate ability summons microbots that inflict fear, deal incendiary damage and then explode.

It’s overall a great ability when taking down any enemy as it allows Robin to gain space again and set up the rest of his abilities.

Best Robin Skill Tree

While eventually, you’ll want to unlock everything, start by prioritizing the slugger tree. This tree increases Robin’s damage significantly as well as his crit stats.

Then, progress the shadow tree only slightly to ensure you’re gaining the most out of your stealth gameplay.

Make sure to unlock the Turnaround Takedown (second row, right side) as early as possible to easily take down large enemies. Unlock that and move on to the tinkering tree.

For the tinkering tree, your goal is to unlock Elemental Burst as soon as possible (bottom row, left side). The tinkering tree buffs Robin’s elemental damage overall and Elemental Burst is the cherry on top.

Lastly, the knighthood tree enhances Robin’s kit overall and is full of solid options to choose from.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this is the best build for Robin in Gotham Knights.

Prioritize legendary gear, focus on the slugger, tinkering, and knighthood tree (with a bit of shadow tree), and combine them with the right momentum abilities to ensure you’re dealing as much damage as possible.
