Zibai is a 5-star Geo Sword character introduced in Version 6.3 (Luna IV), serving as a DEF-scaling on-field Main DPS who excels in Lunar-Crystallize reactions. Her kit revolves around entering Lunar Phase Shift via her Elemental Skill, infusing Normal Attacks with Geo DMG, building Phase Shift Radiance through attacks and reactions, and unleashing enhanced Skills for massive Lunar-Crystallize damage. She thrives in teams with Hydro appliers and Moonsign supports for optimal buffs and reaction uptime.
Her banner runs in Phase 2 alongside characters like Neuvillette, starting around February 3, 2026.
