All Columbina Talents and Their Priorities
Columbina’s kit primarily scales on her max HP. She enables all lunar-type reactions — Lunar charged, Lunar bloom, and Lunar crystallize, for her teams. This makes her more viable for teams outside of Nod-Krai characters. Columbina’s burst creates a domain that increases Lunar reaction damage for all characters. This makes her the best Lunar damage support in the game so far.
And the fact that it mentions ‘all characters’ means that it will buff the damage of off-field characters as well. Further, characters also get specific buffs when triggering Lunar reactions in the domain. Lunar charged characters get a thundercloud attack interval reduction, Lunar bloom characters get a special Moonridge Dew, and Lunar crystallize characters have a 33% chance to inflict an extra Moondrift attack when Moondrift Harmony is triggered.
Other than that, she also passively buffs the base Lunar damage inflicted by all party members based on her max HP. When it comes to her Talent Priority, you have to prioritize her Skill, which is her main source of damage. Followed by her Burst and then Normal Attack. Here is a quick overview of her Talents.
All Columbina Constellations
Here are all the constellations for Columbina’s kit in Genshin Impact:
| Constellations | Description |
|---|---|
| Radiance Over Blossoms and Peaks | Unleashing her Elemental Skill Eternal Tides will immediately trigger an effect equivalent to the effect of Gravity Interference. This effect can be triggered once every 15s. |
| Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: When Gravity Interference is triggered, if the Lunar reaction type that has accumulated the most Gravity for Columbina is: | |
| Lunar-Charged: Current active character will recover 6 Energy. | |
| Lunar-Bloom: Active character’s interruption resistance will be increased for 8s. | |
| Lunar-Crystallize: Summons a Rainsea Shield. The Rainsea Shield’s DMG absorption is based on 12% of Columbina’s Max HP, and it will absorb Hydro DMG with 250% effectiveness for 8s. | |
| All nearby party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 1.5%. | |
| Not in Lone Splendor | Rate of accumulating Gravity increases by 34%. When Gravity Interference is triggered, Columbina will receive the Lunar Brilliance effect, which increases her Max HP by 40% for 8s. |
| Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: When Lunar Brilliance is active, if, during the current trigger of Gravity Interference, the Lunar reaction type that has accumulated the most Gravity for Columbina is: | |
| Lunar-Charged: The party’s current active character gains ATK equal to 1% of Columbina’s Max HP. | |
| Lunar-Bloom: Elemental Mastery of the party’s current active character increases. Increase in Elemental Mastery is equal to 0.35% of Columbina’s Max HP. | |
| Lunar-Crystallize: DEF of the party’s current active character increases. Increase in DEF is equal to 1% of Columbina’s Max HP. | |
| All nearby party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 7%. | |

| All nearby party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 1.5%. | |
| Cloudveiled Ridges in Floral Mists | When Gravity Interference is triggered, 4 Elemental Energy will be restored to Columbina. |
| Additionally, if the Lunar reaction type that accumulates the most Gravity for Columbina is Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, or Lunar-Crystallize, the Lunar Reaction DMG dealt by this instance of Gravity Interference is increased by 12.5%/2.5%/12.5% of Columbina’s Max HP respectively. This effect can be triggered at most once every 15s. | |

| All nearby party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 1.5%. | |
| Through Darkness Led by Moonlight | For 8s after characters in the Lunar Domain trigger a Lunar reaction, based on the elements involved in the reaction, the CRIT DMG of the corresponding Elemental DMG is increased by 80%. The CRIT DMG-increasing effects for the same Elemental Type do not stack. |
| All nearby party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is elevated by 7%. |
Best Build for Columbina in Genshin Impact
Here is Columbina’s best build in Genshin Impact:
| Type | Information |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Nocturne’s Curtain Call |
| Artifact | Aubade of Morningstar and Moon |
| Main Stats | Sands: HP% Goblet: HP% Circlet: Crit DMG = Crit Rate |
| Sub Stats | ERR > HP > Crit Rate = DMG > EM |
Nocturne’s Curtain is the signature weapon of Columbina, making it the best option for her build. The Aubade of Morningstar and Moon is the new best artifact for Lunar reaction supports, and is tailor-made for Columbina’s kit. As Columbina scales off HP%, you need to build her max health to increase her DMG. Alongside that, Columbina’s Lunar Domain is extremely important from her Burst, so prioritize reaching her ERR goals first.
Best Columbina Stats
- ERR: 160% to 180%
- HP: 35000
For Columbina’s targeted stats, you need to first reach her ERR goal of 160% to 180%. For double-hydro characters in the team, 160% should be enough to use her burst every rotation. But for single hydro teams, you will need to 180% ERR.
Following that, try to hit a minimum of 35000 HP on Columbina. She completely scales on HP, so building it up will also scale her damage output.
Best Weapons for Columbina
- Nocturne’s Curtain Call
- Surf’s Up
- Tome of the Eternal Flow
- Reliquary of Truth
- Prototype Amber
- Favonius Codex
- Sacrificial Jade
Columbina’s best weapon is Nocturne’s Curtain Call, but after that, you can simply use Prototype Amber or Favonius Codex if you are building her as a Lunar support. She doesn’t require other 5-star weapons when built as a support.
But, if you want to build Columbina as a main DPS, then you can use the 5-star weapon alternatives like Surf’s Up, Tome of the Eternal Flow, and Reliquary of Truth.
Best Artifacts for Columbina
- Aubade of Morningstar and Moon
- Silken Moon’s Serenade
- Tenacity of the Millelith
- Night of the Sky’s Unveiling (main DPS)
Aubade of Morningstar and Moon is the clear favorite for Columbina. This artifact set massively increases Lunar reaction damage for the team, making it the perfect fit for her. However, that’s only if someone else on your team already has the Silken Moon’s Serenade equipped. If not, then you will have to prioritize equipping it on Columbina.
Other than that, you can also use Tenacity of the Millelith artifact set on Columbina, but it would be less effective compared to the others. For those who are building her as a main DPS, you will have to use the Night of the Sky’s Unveiling artifact instead.
Best Team Comps for Columbina
Here are the best team comps for Columbina in Genshin Impact:
| DPS | Sub DPS / Support | Support | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flins | Ineffa | Columbina | Sucrose |
| Nefer | Lauma | Columbina | Nahida |
| Zibai | Illuga | Columbina | Zhongli |
Columbina is the perfect support for the three main Lunar DPS units of Nod-Krai. These are Flins, Nefer, and Zibai. She easily fits into all three teams and greatly enhances their damage output. Other than these characters, she can also pair up with other Nod-Krai characters for a wider range of teams, like playing alongside Ineffa in a Clorinde vaporize team, or alongside Lauma for a Nahida-centric Bloom team.
Best Columbina Kit Rotation in Genshin Impact
Columbina’s kit rotation is pretty simple; all you have to do is use her Elemental Burst, followed by her Elemental Skill, and then swap her. Here is a quick overview of Columbina’s kit rotation in Genshin Impact:
Burst > Skill > Swap Out > Complete Rotation > Swap In > Repeat
Only when you are playing Columbina as a main DPS in a Bloom team can you use her Charged Attacks to trigger the Bloom damage. This means that you will have to use the Burst, then Skill, swap out and complete rotation, swap in and use her Charged attack, and then repeat.
Genshin Impact Columbina Build Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Enables all Lunar Reactions | – |
| Massively buffs the Lunar reaction damage | – |
| F2P weapon options | – |
| Easy to build with incredible damage output | – |
Columbina has absolutely no cons to her kit. She enables all Lunar Reactions, buffs the Lunar DMG, and can deal a fair amount of damage herself. Her weapon options are also grounded, with many great 4-star alternatives when building her as a Support. She is also easy to build, as all you have to do is target her ERR requirement and HP. Overall, Columbina is clearly one of the best characters in the game, and you should definitely pull for her if you have the primogems.
