Overview

  • Lunar reaction enabler
  • Off-field Hydro support

Columbina is the key support for Lunar reaction teams. While she is in the party, Electro-Charged, Bloom and Hydro-Crystallize are turned into Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom and Lunar-Crystallize, she raises the party's Moonsign by one level, and every party member's Lunar reaction damage gains a bonus based on her Max HP. Her Elemental Skill summons a Gravity Ripple that follows your active character, applies Hydro, and accumulates Gravity as the team triggers Lunar reactions. When it fills, she deals extra damage matched to the reaction you trigger most. Her Elemental Burst creates the Lunar Domain, which adds a bonus effect for each Lunar reaction inside it.

Gear her with HP%, Energy Recharge and crits. She spends very little time on the field, so off-field sets and weapons work well on her.

Weapons

Best first. Every catalyst on this list links to its page.

  1. Nocturne's Curtain Call ★★★★★

    Her signature catalyst. It adds Max HP, restores Energy when Lunar reactions trigger, and gives a large CRIT DMG bonus to Lunar reaction damage.

  2. Sacrificial Jade ★★★★

    The best 4-star for her damage. She is off the field most of the time, so the HP and Elemental Mastery bonus stays up.

  3. Favonius Codex ★★★★

    Gives Energy Recharge and particles to the team. The safe pick when your rotations are short on Energy.

  4. Prototype Amber ★★★★

    Craftable at the Blacksmith. HP% and Energy after her burst make it a reasonable free option.

Artifact sets

  1. Silken Moon's Serenade 4-piece

    The team pick. It gives the whole party Elemental Mastery and raises Lunar reaction damage, and it can trigger while she is off the field.

  2. Aubade of Morningstar and Moon 4-piece

    Better for her own damage. The bonus applies while she is off the field, and her presence makes reaching Ascendant Gleam easy. Use it when another teammate already wears Silken Moon's Serenade.

Teams

  • Lunar-Charged

    Flins and Ineffa supply Electro and deal Lunar-Charged damage, while Columbina and Aino supply Hydro. Columbina's buffs raise everyone's Lunar damage.

  • Lunar-Bloom

    Nefer deals the damage with Lunar-Bloom, Lauma and Nahida support with Dendro, and Columbina supplies the Hydro needed to trigger it.

  • Lunar-Crystallize

    Zibai is the damage dealer. Columbina provides Hydro for Lunar-Crystallize while Linnea and Illuga add Geo support.

Tips

  • Cast her Elemental Skill early. Gravity Ripple only accumulates Gravity while it is on the field.
  • Pick the damage dealer for the reaction you want her Gravity to favor. Gravity Interference uses whichever Lunar reaction built up the most Gravity.
  • Her Lunar damage bonus grows with her Max HP, so prefer HP% over flat ATK when choosing pieces.
  • Her ascension talent only counts Lunar reactions triggered inside the Lunar Domain, so cast her burst where your damage dealer will fight.

Other character guides recommend Columbina as a teammate in these teams.

Talents

Normal Attack Moondew Cascade
Normal Attack Summons Moonlit Tides, performing up to 3 attacks that deal Hydro DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to deal AoE Hydro DMG after a short casting time. If you have at least 1 **Verdant Dew**, Columbina's Charged Attacks will be replaced with the special Charged Attack Moondew Cleanse, which will not consume Stamina: Consume 1 Verdant Dew to deal 3 instances of AoE Dendro DMG to opponents in front. This DMG is considered Lunar-Bloom DMG. Plunging Attack Plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Hydro DMG upon impact with the ground.
Elemental Skill Eternal Tides
Awaken Moonbound Tides, dealing AoE Hydro DMG and summoning **Gravity Ripple**. Gravity Ripple will follow the active character on the field, while continuously dealing AoE Hydro DMG to surrounding opponents. While Gravity Ripple is on the field, and nearby party members trigger Lunar reactions or inflict Lunar Reaction DMG, Columbina will accrue a special Gravity. Once Gravity is accumulated to its limit, different types of damage will be dealt to enemies based on the type of Lunar Reaction that has accumulated the most Gravity for Columbina. Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam: Gravity Ripple inflicts AoE Hydro DMG over a wider area.
Elemental Burst Moonlit Melancholy
Hills and tides unite under the silver light of a pristine new moon. Temporarily transforms the surrounding terrain into **Lunar Domain**, dealing AoE Hydro DMG.

For every 1,000 points of Max HP, the Base DMG of Lunar reactions is increased by 0.2%, up to a maximum of 7%. Additionally, when Columbina is in the party, the party's Moonsign will increase by 1 level.
Passive talent Lunar Vigil
If one of your party members is incapacitated while in the Nod-Krai or Frost Moon regions, Columbina will revive this character. The amount of HP the character will have upon revival is based on Columbina's Friendship Level. This effect can occur once every 100s. This effect does not trigger in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss. Additionally, Columbina appears to have a special affinity for certain animals who are influenced by kuuvahki...
