All Zibai Talents and Their Priorities
ZIbai completely scales off DEF and EM. Her elemental skill sends her into the Lunar shifting phase, which allows her to deal Geo damage with her normal attacks. Doing normal attacks in this phase builds a stack that enhances her Skill to Spirit Steed, which then does a big chunk of damage.
While Zibai is in the party, all Hydro Crystallize reactions are converted to Lunar Crystallize. The Lunar Crystallize damage scales on her base DEF. Due to her passive, having other Geo characters in the team increases her DEF, while having other Hydro characters increases her EM.
When it comes to her Talent Priority, you have to prioritize her Skill, then her Normal Attacks, and finally her Burst. Here is a quick overview of her Talents.
| Talents | Description | DMG Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Normal Attack Performs up to 4 rapid strikes. | 1-Hit DMG: 99.9328% |
| 2-Hit DMG: 92.0227% | ||
| 3-Hit DMG: 61.058%+61.058% | ||
| Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes. | 4-Hit DMG: 153.9792% | |
| Charged Attack DMG: 145.605%+145.605% | ||
| Charged Attack Stamina Cost: 20 | ||
| Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. | Plunge DMG: 126.378% | |
| Low/High Plunge DMG: 252.7025%/315.639% | ||
| Skill | Summoning a shadow of her former powers, she switches to the Lunar Phase Shift mode. | Lunar Phase Shift 1-Hit DMG: 101.8426% DEF |
| Lunar Phase Shift 2-Hit DMG: 93.7813% DEF | ||
| Lunar Phase Shift 3-Hit DMG: 62.2248%+62.2248% DEF | ||
| In this mode, Zibai’s Normal Attacks and Charged Attacks will deal Geo DMG that cannot be overridden by other infusions, and she can accrue special Phase Shift Radiance through different methods. Zibai can consume Phase Shift Radiance to unleash the special Elemental Skill Spirit Steed’s Stride. | Lunar Phase Shift 4-Hit DMG: 156.9218% DEF | |
| Lunar Phase Shift Charged Attack DMG: 118.71% + 118.71% DEF |
||
| Spirit Steed’s Stride 1-Hit DMG: 310.5504% DEF | ||
| Spirit Steed’s Stride 2-Hit DMG: 253.7424% DEF | ||
| Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: While in the Lunar Phase Shift mode, when Zibai performs Normal Attacks, the fourth attack will deal an additional instance of Geo DMG, which is considered Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG. | Lunar Phase Shift 4-Hit Ascendant Gleam DMG: 53.0208% DEF | |
| Lunar Phase Shift Duration: 15s | ||
| CD: 18s | ||
| Burst | Zibai operates the Jadelight Canopy, dealing two instances of Geo DMG, with the second damage instance being considered Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG. | Skill 1-Hit DMG: 228.528% DEF |
| Skill 2-Hit DMG: 319.9392% DEF | ||
| CD: 15s | ||

| Layered Peaks Pierce the Clouds | Other Geo party members increase Zibai’s DEF by 15% each. Other Hydro party members increase her Elemental Mastery by 60 each. | – |
| Moonsign Benediction: The Coursing Sun and Moon | When a party member triggers a Hydro Crystallize reaction, it will be converted into the Lunar-Crystallize reaction, with every 100 DEF that Zibai has increasing Lunar-Crystallize’s Base DMG by 0.7%, up to a maximum of 14%. | – |
| Additionally, when Zibai is in the party, the party’s Moonsign will increase by 1 level. | – | |
| Moonlit Flower Forest | At night (18:00 – 06:00), when not in combat, restore 1 Elemental Energy to Zibai every 2 seconds. This effect does not work in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss. | – |
All Zibai Constellations
Here are all the constellations for Zibai’s kit in Genshin Impact:
| Constellations | Description |
|---|---|
| Burst Forth With Vigor, But Enter in Silence | After using the Elemental Skill Heaven and Earth Made Manifest, Zibai will immediately gain 100 Phase Shift Radiance, and the max number of Spirit Steed’s Stride usages per Lunar Phase Shift mode is increased to 5 times. |
| Additionally, each time you switch to the Lunar Phase Shift mode, the first Spirit Steed’s Stride’s 2nd-hit Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG is increased by 220%. | |
| At Birth Are Souls Born, and in Death Leave But Husks | When in the Lunar Phase Shift mode, all nearby party members’ Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG is increased by 30%. |
| Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: Ascension Talent The Selenic Adeptus Descends is enhanced: the 2nd hit of Spirit Steed’s Stride deals additional DMG equal to 550% of Zibai’s DEF. You must first unlock the Ascension Talent “The Selenic Adeptus Descends.” | |
| Free From Constraints and Worldly Ties | Increases Elemental Skill Level by 3 |
| The Spirit Passes, Then Form Follows | While in the Lunar Phase Shift mode, Zibai’s Normal Attack sequence will not reset, and when Spirit Steed’s Stride hits opponents, Zibai will gain the “Scattermoon Splendor” effect: The next time she uses Normal Attacks, her 4th hit will deal 250% of the original Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG. |
| Perceive the Worthless and Debate It Not | Increases Elemental Burst Level by 3 |
| The World, A Journey in Passing | While Zibai is in the Lunar Phase Shift mode, her Phase Shift Radiance gain rate is increased by 50%. |
| Additionally, Spirit Steed’s Stride will change such that it will consume all Phase Shift Radiance. This will elevate the DMG dealt by this instance of Spirit Steed’s Stride and the Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG dealt by Zibai within the next 3s by 1.6% for every point consumed above 70. This effect cannot stack. |
Best Build for Zibai in Genshin Impact
Here is Zibai’s best build in Genshin Impact:
| Type | Information |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Lightbearing Moonshard |
| Artifact | Night of the Sky’s Unveiling |
| Main Stats | Sands: DEF% Goblet: DEF% Circlet: Crit DMG = Crit Rate |
| Sub Stats | Crit Rate = DMG > DEF% > EM |
Best Zibai Stats
- Crit Rate: 70%
- Crit DMG: 160%
- DEF
- EM
- ERR: 140%
Although Zibai doesn’t particularly have specific stat goals, you will need to prioritize as much Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and DEF as possible. Ideally, having above 70% Crit Rate and 160% Crit DMG should be good enough. For her ERR goals, she only needs around 140% to burst every rotation in her best teams.
Best Weapons for Zibai
- Lightbearing Moonshard
- Uraku Misugiri
- Light of Foliar Incision
- Flute of Ezpitzal
- Harbinger of Dawn
The best weapon for Zibai will be her signature weapon, Lightbearing Moonshard. When we look at alternatives, there are very few options around as she scales completely on DEF. The best 5-star alternative weapons for Zibai are Uraku Misugiri and Light of Foliar Incision, both of them having very high Crit stat.
Other than that, you can also use the 4-star F2P Nod-Krai Craftable weapon Flute of Ezpitzal, which is a DEF scaling weapon. The 3-star weapon Harbinger of Dawn is also amazing on Zibai, if you can maintain her health over 90% in the fight at all times to get the Crit Rate buff.
Best Artifacts for Zibai
- Night of the Sky’s Unveiling
Zibai has only one viable artifact, and it is the Night of the Sky’s Unveiling set. This artifact is tailor-made for Lunar Reaction DPS units, making it the only fit for Zibai.
Best Team Comps for Zibai
Here are the best team comps for Zibai in Genshin Impact:
| DPS | Support | Support | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zibai | Illuga | Columbina | Zhongli |
| Zibai | Illuga | Columbina | Gorou |
| Zibai | Illuga | Columbina | Chiori |
| Zibai | Illuga | Columbina | Xilonen |
| Zibai | Illuga | Furina | Zhongli |
Zibai has very limited team options. She heavily depends on Illuga and Columbina, both of whom are necessary to bring the best out of her kit. For the 4th slot, you can put Zhongli, C6 Gorou, Chiori, or Xilonen.
In case you don’t have Columbina, then you should use Furina, Aino, or Xingqiu instead. However, the overall damage output would reduce significantly.
Best Zibai Kit Rotation in Genshin Impact
Zibai is an incredibly easy character to play. Her Elemental Skill sends her into an enhanced state. After that, she can use her Normal Attacks to charge her enhanced Skill to full power. Finally, use her enhanced Elemental Skill at max power to deal maximum damage.
Swap In > Burst > Skill > Normal Attacks (until fully charged) > Enhanced Skill > Swap Out > Complete team rotation > Repeat
For her Elemental Burst, it doesn’t really tie into her normal rotation. What you can do is use it at the start of the rotation after swapping in, or at the very end before swapping out. Doing it at first would give you enough time to recharge it for the next rotation.
Genshin Impact Zibai Build Pros and Cons
Zibai is a really strong character and easily the best Geo DPS in the current meta of the game. Here are the pros and cons of Zibain in Genshin Impact:
