CHARACTER OVERVIEW

Powerful all-round support for Lunar Reaction teams

Columbina is shaping up to be a powerful all-round support designed specifically for Lunar Reaction teams. As a 5-Star Hydro Catalyst user, her kit focuses on enabling and amplifying these reactions with ease.

Her Elemental Skill surrounds her with a Hydro-infused aura that continuously applies Hydro to nearby enemies. During its duration, the skill also triggers a burst of Lunar Reaction damage that scales with Columbina's max HP. The reaction type—Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, or Lunar-Crystallize—is automatically selected based on which Lunar Reaction deals the highest damage within the skill's active window.

Columbina's Elemental Burst further reinforces her role as a team support. Upon activation, she deploys a large field that grants a team-wide boost to Lunar Reaction damage. Similar in concept to Nahida's supportive burst, this ability turns Columbina into a cornerstone unit for teams built around Lunar mechanics.

TALENTS

Master Columbina's abilities

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

Elemental Skill

CD: 17S Max Charge: 60

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.

"The Eternal Moon's orbit guides the rise and fall of the tides. With a languid motion, the goddess lets her hand fall, drawing forth a ripple across the Primordial Sea, the great ocean, and numberless crowds."

Elemental Burst: Moonlit Melancholy

Elemental Burst

CD: 15S Max Charge: 60

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.

"In ancient times, people called the three messengers connecting the material world and the universe 'Inkonost,' which means bird-like gods."

Additional Effects

Mechanics

Kuuvahki Interference

After activating her Elemental Skill, Eternal Tides, Columbina summons Gravity Ripple onto the battlefield. This entity follows the currently active character and continuously deals AoE Hydro damage to nearby enemies while it remains active.

While Gravity Ripple is present, Columbina begins to build power through a special effect. Whenever nearby party members trigger Lunar reactions or deal Lunar Reaction damage, Columbina gains New Moon's Omen for 2 seconds, allowing her to steadily accumulate Gravity. Up to 20 Gravity can be gained every 2 seconds, with a maximum cap of 60 Gravity. All accumulated Gravity is cleared once Gravity Ripple expires.

When Gravity reaches its maximum limit, a powerful effect known as Kuuvahki Interference is automatically triggered. The resulting effect depends on which Lunar reaction type contributed the most Gravity during its accumulation:

Lunar-Charged: Kuuvahki Interference unleashes a single burst of Electro AoE damage, treated as Lunar-Charged damage.
Lunar-Bloom: Kuuvahki Interference fires five Moondew Sigils at nearby enemies.

Verdant Dew

When party members trigger Lunar-Bloom reactions, the party will receive such a resource.

Your party will receive 1 Verdant Dew every 2.5s for 2.5s after triggering a Lunar-Bloom reaction. Your party can have up to 3 Verdant Dew. If you trigger another Lunar-Bloom reaction during this time, the duration of this effect will be reset.

Lunar Domain

The domain that Columbina summons after unleashing the Elemental Burst Moonlit Melancholy.

When current active characters are within the Lunar Domain, Lunar Reaction DMG inflicted by all party members will increase.

Passive Talents

Call of the Moon (Lv. 20)

When triggering Kuuvahki Interference, Columbina gains the Lunacy effect, increasing her CRIT Rate by 8% for 10s. This effect can be stacked up to 3 times.

Law of the New Moon (Lv. 60)

When characters within the Lunar Domain trigger Lunar reactions, they will gain the following effects respectively:

Lunar-Charged: Thundercloud attack interval is reduced by 0.5s.
Lunar-Bloom: When triggering Lunar-Bloom reactions, the party gains a special Moonridge Dew. Up to 3 Moonridge Dews can be gained every 18s.
Lunar-Crystallize: When Moondrift Harmony is triggered, every Moondrift has a 33% chance to inflict an extra attack.

Moonsign Benediction: Borrowed Moonlight

When a party member triggers an Electro-Charged/Bloom/Hydro-Crystallize reaction, it will be converted into a Lunar-Charged/Lunar-Bloom/Lunar-Crystallize reaction. Lunar Reaction DMG inflicted by party members gain a Base DMG increase based on Columbina's Max HP. 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.

CONSTELLATIONS

Unlock Columbina's full potential

Radiance Over Blossoms and Peaks

While in combat, unleashing Elemental Burst Moonlit Melancholy will immediately trigger an effect equivalent to the effect of Kuuvahki Interference. If no Gravity has been gained, this Kuuvahki Interference will be considered to have gained maximum Gravity from Lunar-Charged reactions.

Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam

When Kuuvahki 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.

Not in Lone Splendor

Rate of accumulating Gravity increases by 34%.

When Kuuvahki Interference is triggered, Columbina will receive the Lunar Brilliance effect, which increases her Max HP by 30% for 8s.

Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam

When Lunar Brilliance is active, if, during the current trigger of Kuuvahki 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 0.7% 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 0.7% of Columbina's Max HP.

Dreamlike Glow Across Tranquil Waters

Increases the Level of Elemental Skill: Eternal Tides by 3.

Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Cloudveiled Ridges in Floral Mists

When Kuuvahki Interference is activated, Columbina immediately restores 4 Elemental Energy.

In addition, if the Lunar reaction type that contributed the most Gravity is Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom, or Lunar-Crystallize, the current Kuuvahki Interference will deal increased Lunar Reaction damage. The bonus damage scales with Columbina's Max HP, increasing by 12.5%, 2.5%, or 12.5% of her Max HP respectively, depending on the reaction type.

This enhanced damage effect can occur once every 15 seconds at most.

Silence Tending One Lone Song

Increases the Level of Elemental Burst: Moonlit Melancholy by 3.

Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Through Darkness Led by Moonlight

For 8s after characters in the Lunar Domain trigger a Lunar reaction, based on the element 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.
