Genshin Impact Columbina Build Guide: Kits Explained
Columbina is an off-field Hydro sub DPS who focuses on dealing and buffing Lunar reaction damage. When Columbina is at the party, she can convert Electro-Charged, Bloom, and Hydro Crystalise reactions triggered by any party member into the Lunar Reactions. She is a flexible unit, able to slot into most teams that offer strong geo, dendro, or electro applications.
Her passive talent also helps players in Nod Krai Explorations. If any character in your team died in Nod Krai, then Columbina can revive that character and can also heal that character to its maximum HP. Her kit revolves around her elemental skill and her elemental burst. Here is a detailed breakdown of her Burst and Skill.
Eternal Tides (Skill)
Deals AoE Hydro DMG and summons a Gravity Ripple. Her Gravity Ripple is kinda similar to Mauvika Nightsoul’s burst mechanics. After using the Columbina skill, she summons a Gravity Ripple, which stays on the field for 25 seconds, follows the active character, and also deals AoE hydro damage based on her HP. But it can also deal Lunar reaction damage.
For unleashing that Lunar reaction damage, you need 60 gravity points. When a party member triggers a Lunar reaction or deals Lunar damage, Columbina will gain 20 gravity points every 2 seconds. After every 6 seconds, she will deal a massive Lunar reaction damage based on her max HP. That’s why a fast Dendro, Electro, or Geo applier is always recommended.
Moonlit Melancholy (Burst)
Transforms the surrounding terrain into Lunar Domain, dealing AoE Hydro DMG. This domain is similar to the one provided by Nahida’s burst, and within the domain, all allies will get 40% Lunar reaction damage bonus at talent level 10. Her burst costs 60 energy and stays on the field for 20 seconds.
Passive Talents
Her passive talents buff her and also buffs whole team.
A1 Passive
Her 1st Passive allows her to get 15% crit rate after the first rotation. When she deals Lunar reaction damage with her skill, she gains 5% crit rate for 10 seconds, and this passive can be stacked upto 3 times.
A2 Passive
When the character in the Lunar Domain triggers Lunar-Charged and Lunar-Crystalize reactions, there is 33% chance to inflict an extra Lunar-Charged and Lunar-Crystalize attack. If your party members trigger Lunar-Bloom, then the party will gain Moonridge Dew, which works the same as Verdant Dew. Basically, we will get 6 Verdant dew for our team.
A3 Passive
Her A3 passive converts Electro-Charged, Bloom, and Hydro Crystalise reactions triggered by any party member into the Lunar Reactions.
A4 Passive
Her A4 passive provide 7% Lunar damage bonus based on her HP. For getting 7% Lunar damage bonus, you need 35K HP.
Genshin Impact Columbina Build Guide: Constellations
| Constellations | Effects |
|---|---|
| C1 | One additional damage instance from skill cast. The Lunar-Charge team’s active character will recover 6 Energy. In the Lunar Bloom team, characters will get interruption resistance for 8 seconds. In the Lunar-Crystalize team, characters will get a shield that absorbs damage based on Columbina 12% Max HP. Additionally, Lunar reactions damage will be increased by 1.5% This Constellation will provide a buff for teams. Good small QOL improvement. |
| C2 | Her Gravity ripple deals 34% faster damage, and after using her skill, she gains 40% extra HP for 8 seconds. Additionally, she provides different types of buffs for Lunar reactions. In the Lunar-Charge team, active character gain 1% ATK based on Columbina’s max HP. In the Lunar-Bloom team, active character gain 0.35% Elemental Mastery based on Columbina’s max HP. In the Lunar-Crystalize team, active character gain 1% Defence based on Columbina’s max HP. It’s her best Constellation if you want to buff your Columbina and your Nord Krai characters more, then go for it. |
| C3 | Columbina’s elemental skill level will be increased by +3. |
| C4 | Columbina will get 4 energy after each Gravity ripple. Furthermore, her C4 will increase Lunar Charge damage by 12.5%, Lunar-Bloom by 2.5%, and Lunar-Crystalize by 12.5% based on Columbinas max HP. |
| C5 | Columbina’s elemental burst level will be increased by +3. |
| C6 | Hydro, element crit damage will be increased by 80%, and other elements involved in Lunar reactions (Geo, Dendro, Electro) crit damage will be increased by 80% too. This constellation can buff Columbina and also buff the whole team. |
Columbina is already an excellent damage dealer and a good buffer at C0. Her C1 can improve your team’s overall performance, but her C2 is good for the whole team damage buff, and it also increases her personal damage. Other Constellations are made for whale players.
Genshin Impact Columbina Build Guide: Best in-slot weapon
| Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|
| Nocturne’s Curtain Call (5*) | Her best-in-slot is her signature weapon. Her weapon passive gives 24% HP, 60% Crit Damage, and 14 energy. If you want more damage from your Columbina, then I recommend you go for the signature weapon rather than pulling her C1. |
| Sacrificial Jade R5 (4*) | When not on the field for more than 5s, Max HP will be increased by 64%, and Elemental Mastery will be increased by 80. After the wielder take field for 10s all effects will end. It’s a 4* weapon, but this weapon, R5, can surpass any 5* weapon. Columbina damage and buff both scales on HP, so 64% HP is perfect for her. |
| Jadefall Splendor (5*) | For 3 seconds, after using Burst equipping character will restore 4.5 energy every 2.5 seconds and will gain 0.3% for every 1,000 Max HP your equipping character has. We can get Maximum 12% damage bonus. If you have Baizu’s signature weapon, then this can buff your Columbina. It’s her best 5* signature weapon alternative. |
| Prototype Amber R5 (4*) | Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 6 Energy every 2s for 6s. All party members will regenerate 6% HP every 2s for this duration. Has HP% and an energy refund on burst. It’s her best F2P weapon. If you don’t have primogems for her signature, then you should level up this craftable weapon. |
| Favonius Codex R5 (4★) | Crit Hits have 100% chance of generating 6 energy once every 6 seconds. If you use this weapon, you don’t need any energy recharge from artifacts. |
Genshin Impact Columbina Build Guide: Artifacts
| Artifacts | Effects |
|---|---|
| Aubade of Morningstar and Moon | It’s Columbinas best artifact set right now. This artifact set can buff the whole team and can also increase her personal damage. 2-Piece Set: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80. 4-Piece Set: Increases Lunar reactions damage by 20% when the character is not in the field. Additionally, when your team has two Nod Krai characters, Lunar Reaction DMG will be further increased by 40%. |
| Silken Moon Serenade | It’s Columbina’s second-best artifact set. Especially if you are using the Lunar-Bloom team, it can even surpass the Aubade of Morningstar and Moon artifact set in team damage output. 2-Piece Set: Energy Recharge +20% 4-Piece Set: If your team has two Nod Krai characters, all team members will get 120 Elemental Mastery. Furthermore, your team’s Lunar reaction damage will be increased by 10%. |

- Circlet: CD/CR
- Sub-stat: ER=HP>CD>CR>EM

Neffer Lunar-Bloom Team
It’s Neffers Premium team, which can deal huge damage. Even without Columbina Neffers Previous team was overpowered, but after Columbina’s release, this team improved more.

Columbina will buff our whole team, and she will be our sub DPS. Neffer will be our main DPS in this team.

Ineffa and Columbina provide buff, and they will be our sub DPS. Sucrose is our 3rd support in this team.
Zibai Lunar-Crystalize Team
Zibai and Illuga have not released yet, but based on the information we have, we can say Zibai will be a strong Lunar-Crystalize DPS, and Illuga is a must-have support for Zibai. Columbina will be our buffer, support, and Hydro applicator for this Zibai team.
Aino C6/Xilonen are both great supports for the Zibai team. Aino C6 gives 35% Lunar damage bonus, and Xilonen can reduce enemies’ resistance, provide DMG bonus, and heal the team.
