Genshin Impact 6.3 Columbina Ultimate Build Guide

Her banner, Somnias a Luna, runs from January 14, 2026, to February 3, 2026, alongside Ineffa's rerun. She excels at enabling and amplifying "Lunar Reactions" - a new reaction system tied to the Nod-Krai region - including Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, and Lunar-Crystallize. Scaling primarily off HP, Columbina provides off-field Hydro application, team-wide Lunar DMG buffs, and even a revival passive, making her a versatile enabler for Nod-Krai teams and beyond.

Kit Breakdown

Normal Attack: Moondew Cascade

Performs up to 3 rapid Hydro strikes. Hold for Moondew Cleanse, a stamina-consuming blast. Plunging attacks deal AoE upon impact. Low priority, but useful in on-field Lunar-Bloom setups where she consumes Verdant Dew via charged attacks.

Elemental Skill: Eternal Tides

Summons a Gravity Ripple that shadows the active character, pulsing AoE Hydro DMG every 2s and generating particles periodically. It accumulates "Gravity" from any party member's Lunar Reactions. At max (60 points), it auto-discharges Gravity Interference:

Lunar-Charged: Single AoE instance.
Lunar-Bloom: Multiple instances.
Lunar-Crystallize: Single AoE instance.

The Ripple adapts to the dominant reaction and works off-field, adding ~1 Lunar hit every 6s.

Elemental Burst: Moonlit Melancholy

Creates a Lunar Domain buffing all Lunar Reactions:

Lunar-Charged: Extra lightning strike chance on Thunderclouds.
Lunar-Bloom: Generates up to 3 Moonridge Dew (acts as extra Verdant Dew).
Lunar-Crystallize: Extra attack chance on Moondrifts.

Provides up to 40% team Lunar DMG Bonus at max level.

Passives

Utility Passive: Auto-revives a fallen party member once per use, restoring HP (exploration only in Nod-Krai).
A1/A4: Boosts CRIT from Lunar hits; enhances Burst buffs.

Talent Priority: Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack.

Ascension and Talent Materials

Ascend with Varunada Lazurite, Slime drops, and Radiant Antler (Nod-Krai specialty). Talent books: Teachings/Guide/Philosophies of Moonlight (new domain). Total Mora: ~5M. Weekly boss material TBD (likely The Doctor).
