To play Robin effectively, you want to make a big focus on stealth. Though his gear will follow the template set by other characters, most of his skills focus on deceptively taking down enemies from the shadows. He is quick and nimble, though his staff is a little slow in a fight.
He does have a skill tree focusing more on heavy and critical attacks, but this is true for all heroes, and probably not where you should focus your time or ability points.

This means their allies won't find them, and lets you be a lot stealthier.
