Who is Columbina?
Known as the Moon Maiden, Columbina is worshipped by the Frostmoon Scions in Nod-Krai and draws her powers directly from the moon itself. What makes her fascinating? She’s left the Fatui and now hides in the Silvermoon Hall, making her one of the most enigmatic characters in Teyvat’s story.
Both Wanderer and Tartaglia warn the Traveler to be cautious around her, while Arlecchino calls her “very special”—high praise from the fourth Harbinger herself.

Leaked Kit & Abilities
Based on trusted leaker Uncle Kokomi’s information, here’s what we know about Columbina’s playstyle:
Role & Reactions:
Columbina is a hybrid support/sub-DPS centered around Lunar reactions, particularly Lunar-Bloom. She increases the maximum Verdant Dew charges from 3 to 6 when paired with characters like Nefer or Lauma, making her the perfect buffer for Nod-Krai teams.
Scaling & Stats:
She scales with HP, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery, and Energy Recharge, with damage output reportedly higher than C0 Furina. However, she has high ER requirements that can be reduced with her signature weapon and C4.
Elemental Burst:
During her burst, she opens her eyes and spreads wings to create a vast field on the moon’s surface, lasting 20 seconds with a 15-second cooldown. Absolutely stunning visuals await!
Important Note: Unlike other supports, Columbina doesn’t have healing abilities in her base kit or constellations.

Version 6.3 Banner Details
Version 6.3 will introduce three new characters: Columbina, Zibai, and Illuga. Columbina headlines Phase 1 as the flagship character, while Zibai (the White Horse Adeptus/Celadon Mare) and Illuga take Phase 2.
The patch also brings a new map expansion, meaning you won’t be able to pre-farm materials—so start saving those Primogems now!
Should You Pull?
If you’re building Nod-Krai teams centered around Lunar reactions, Columbina is practically mandatory. Early leaks suggest she pairs exceptionally well with characters like Lauma and Durin, opening doors for powerful reaction-based compositions.
However, leaks suggest she doesn’t synergize well with older characters, making her more of a future-proof investment than an immediate game-changer for veteran accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will Columbina be playable before her banner release?
Yes! Leaks suggest Columbina may appear as a temporarily playable character during the Version 6.2 Archon Quest, similar to how Neuvillette and Durin were introduced. Players might test her unique ring-throwing skill during story sequences, giving an early preview before her official banner drops in 6.3.
Q: Does Columbina work well with existing Hydro characters like Furina and Neuvillette?
Not particularly. Columbina is designed specifically as a Lunar reaction support, meaning she shines brightest with Nod-Krai characters who can trigger Lunar-Bloom, Lunar-Charged, and Lunar-Crystallize reactions. While her damage output rivals Furina’s, her kit doesn’t provide the same universal support that makes Furina valuable across all team compositions. She’s a specialist rather than a generalist.
