Character Element & Role

Still regretting not being able to save Columbina? Well, with the release of Version 6.3’s character artwork, we now know Columbina is joining the wish banner — it looks like we’ll finally rescue her next patch! To gear up for her arrival, let’s dive into this new character’s elements and mechanics in advance!

Columbina is a 5-Star Hydro character wielding a Catalyst, boasting impressive off-field Hydro application and damage output. As the brand-new dedicated support for Nod-Krai’s Lunar Reactions, she significantly boosts Lunar Electro-Charged, Lunar Bloom, and Lunar Crystal Reactions. The best part? With Columbina on your team, even older non-Nod-Krai characters can join the brand-new Lunar Reaction system!

New Characters & Elemental Reactions

Meanwhile, as the annual Lantern Rite Festival returns, Travelers revisiting Liyue will meet a brand-new character: Zibai! This Geo character will introduce the all-new Lunar Crystal Reaction. Additionally, there’s a new 4-Star Geo character named Illuga — we first heard about them in Flins’ voice lines, and it seems he is a member of Nod-Krai’s LightKeepers. Given their Geo Vision, Illuga is expected to pair with Zibai as a key member of the Lunar Crystal team!
