Rise and Sing is the 5-star signature Light Cone for Robin • Summeretto, available on the Brilliant Fixation banner during the first half of Honkai: Star Rail 4.5. It leans directly into her Ultimate-and-Fever rotation, but for most accounts it is not the pull that makes or breaks her.
Quick answer: Skip Rise and Sing on most teams. Robin • Summeretto functions well on the free Herta Store cone, Memory’s Curtain Never Falls, so save those pulls for Hyacine or her E1 instead. Only prioritize the signature if you run her with SPD-scaling damage dealers like Aventurine • Waveflair, or the Ashveil and Mortenax Blade core.
What Rise and Sing does
The cone gives Robin • Summeretto a large passive HP boost, a Skill Point refund tied to her Ultimate, and a burst of speed for the whole team at the start of combat. The Skill Point return is the most practical part, since her rotation involves spamming Skill to summon and heal the Summer Songbirds.
| Effect (Superimposition 1) | Value |
|---|---|
| Passive Max HP boost | +30% |
| Skill Points recovered after Ultimate | 1 for allies |
| Action advance on entering combat | 40% |
| “New Melody” duration | 2 turns |
| All allies’ SPD while “New Melody” is active | +20% |
Because her kit scales with Max HP, the flat 30% HP is real value rather than a wasted stat. It feeds her own damage, the Songbirds’ HP, and the ATK buff she hands to high-ATK allies. The team-wide SPD from New Melody helps her hit Vibes breakpoints faster at the very start of a fight.
Why you can skip it on most teams
Two of the cone’s effects are strong and clear, the HP and the Skill Point refund. The rest is situational. The New Melody speed buff only lasts two turns and fires once on entering combat, so its long-term value is limited compared to a permanent stat stick or a repeating team buff.
She does not need the signature to work. If you want SPD plus some HP, several Remembrance cones cover that role, and her overall support output stays competitive without Rise and Sing. Passing on it lets you redirect a significant number of pulls toward things that raise her ceiling more.
Free and cheaper alternatives
Memory’s Curtain Never Falls from the Herta Store is the standout budget choice. It gives SPD and a temporary team-wide damage buff after Skill, which lines up neatly with her early rotation. For players chasing more stats, a few limited HP-scaling cones also fit.
| Light Cone | Source | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Memory’s Curtain Never Falls | Herta’s Store | Free SPD plus a short team damage buff after Skill; the best F2P support pick. |
| To Evernight’s Stars | Event Warp (limited) | HP% stat stick that also adds a little personal damage and DEF ignore for her memosprites. |
| Make Farewells More Beautiful | Event Warp (limited) | Solid HP% stick that raises the ATK bonus she passes to allies. |
| The Story’s Next Page | Stellar Warp / Event Warp | Reliable HP% option that is easy to superimpose. |
When Rise and Sing is worth pulling
The signature earns its cost in specific setups where its extras stop being filler. If your Robin • Summeretto slots into any of the teams below, the case for pulling gets much stronger.
- SPD-scaling damage dealers such as Aventurine • Waveflair, where the New Melody speed buff directly converts into more damage.
- The Ashveil and Mortenax Blade core, which acts frequently and benefits from the extra tempo and Skill Point economy.
- Signature collectors who want the highest ceiling on her, since the HP, Skill Point refund, and SPD stack into one package.
Outside those cases, the gap between Rise and Sing and a free alternative is small enough that the extra pulls are better spent elsewhere.
Where to spend those pulls instead
If you skip the cone, two targets give more value in 4.5. Picking up Hyacine, if you do not already have her, gives Robin • Summeretto a sustain unit that heals allies outside their turns and keeps Vibes flowing. That directly improves her Fever uptime.
The other target is her first Eidolon, Stray Bird of Summer. E1 raises her maximum Vibes by 20 and adds extra Vibes generation, which speeds up how quickly she reaches Fever and holds her buffs at higher values. It is widely treated as her cleanest stopping point for support-focused accounts.
Keep in mind the Brilliant Fixation banner is not rate-up guaranteed on the first hit, so budget Stellar Jade for the possibility of an off-rate 5-star before Rise and Sing appears. If those pulls would otherwise buy Hyacine or E1, the safer play for most rosters is to build Robin • Summeretto on a free cone and hold the signature for a rerun.
