Genshin Impact: Every Columbina Constellation Ranked From Best to Worst

Columbina, the enigmatic Damselette and Third of the Fatui Harbingers, has finally arrived as a 5-star Hydro Catalyst in Genshin Impact's Version 6.3 (Luna IV).

She shines at C0 as a sub-DPS and enabler in Hyperbloom, Aggravate, or Crystallize teams, but her constellations provide meaningful upgrades, especially for Lunar-focused comps. Many sources agree C0 is highly playable, with power spikes at C2 and C6. Below, we rank all six from best to worst based on team DPS uplift, utility, ease of acquisition, and rotation impact.

6. C5: Silence Tending One Lone Song

Increases the Level of Moonlit Melancholy (Elemental Burst) by 3 (max 15). All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 1.5%.

This is the weakest constellation by far. Burst level-ups provide only marginal gains (around 3-5% to Lunar buffs and initial Domain damage), and her Skill is the true star of her kit. The tiny 1.5% Lunar DMG elevation is negligible compared to higher cons' 7% boosts. Skip unless you're pathing to C6.

5. C3: Dreamlike Glow Across Tranquil Waters

Increases the Level of Eternal Tides (Elemental Skill) by 3 (max 15). All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 1.5%.

A standard stat stick for her primary damage source - the Skill's Ripple ticks and Interference bursts see an ~18% multiplier boost. Useful for personal sub-DPS output, but lacks team-wide utility or buffs. Better than C5 since Skill > Burst in her rotations.

4. C4: Cloudveiled Ridges in Floral Mists

When Gravity Interference triggers, restores 4 Elemental Energy to Columbina. If the dominant Lunar reaction is Charged/Bloom/Crystallize, that Interference's DMG increases by 12.5%/2.5%/12.5% of her Max HP (once every 15s). All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG elevated by 1.5%.

Solid energy economy (up to 20 ER per rotation with frequent triggers) lets you stack more HP/Crit for damage. The "True Damage" HP-scaling amp ignores enemy DEF, adding reliable ~20% personal DPS. Great for signature weapon users, but niche compared to broader buffs.

3. C1: Radiance Over Blossoms and Peaks

Unleashing Eternal Tides immediately triggers a Gravity Interference (once every 15s). Plus Ascendant Gleam utility: Energy restore (Charged), interruption resist (Bloom), or Rainsea Shield (Crystallize). All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG elevated by 1.5%.

Transforms her Skill into an offensive opener (+33% Interference frequency), with adaptive team support. Essential for tight rotations, especially Electro (energy) or Dendro (resist) teams. Strong value for one pull, though less raw damage than C2/C6.

2. C6: Through Darkness Led by Moonlight

For 8s after a Lunar reaction in Lunar Domain, +80% CRIT DMG to the corresponding element (non-stacking per type). All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG elevated by 7%.

Whale territory, but transformative. Near-100% uptime on massive team-wide CRIT DMG buffs (~40-50% total team DPS uplift, 110% personal). Pairs perfectly with her reaction enables, making any Lunar team a hypercarry monster. Ultimate luxury, but game-changing.

1. C2: Not in Lone Splendor

Gravity accumulation +34% faster. On Interference, Columbina gains Lunar Brilliance (+40% Max HP for 8s). Ascendant Gleam buffs active character: ATK (Charged), EM (Bloom), or DEF (Crystallize) based on her HP. All nearby party members' Lunar Reaction DMG elevated by 7%.

The undisputed best. Speeds triggers (4-5 per rotation), permanent HP scaling amps all her damage/buffs, and provides huge team stats (350+ ATK/EM/DEF). ~25% team DPS boost for just two pulls - perfect F2P breakpoint.

Constellation Ranking Summary

Columbina is meta-defining at C0-C2 for Lunar teams, with C6 reserved for dedicated mains. Prioritize her if building Nod-Krai or reaction-heavy comps - her constellations reward investment without gating viability.
