Who is Columbina?

Columbina is positioned as a 5-star Hydro Catalyst support/sub-DPS. She scales with CRIT Rate upon ascension and primarily functions through her Elemental Skill (E) and Elemental Burst (Q). She achieves her complete role by utilizing “Gravity Interference” (triggered by her E and its additional mechanics) and the “Lunar Domain” (created by her Q, which boosts Lunar Reaction DMG). Her 1st, 2nd, and 4th Constellations enhance her E-skill mechanics, while her 6th Constellation provides an additional 80% CRIT DMG bonus related to Lunar Reactions.

How to use Columbina Effectively?

1. Open with Teammates to Set Up

Start by using your support teammates to apply Electro/Dendro/Geo to enemies and provide team buffs. This sets the stage for triggering multiple types of Lunar Reactions.

2. Switch to Columbina, Deploy Domain and Ripple

Switch to Columbina and use her Elemental Burst (Q) followed by her Elemental Skill (E). First, deploy the “Lunar Domain” to boost the team’s Lunar Reaction DMG, then summon the “Gravity Ripple” to begin its automated attacks and start accumulating Gravity.

3. Switch to On-Field Driver, Trigger Chain Reactions

Switch to your primary on-field driver. During their normal attack rotation, they will frequently trigger the enhanced Lunar-Charged/Bloom/Crystallize reactions.

4. Weave in Charged Attacks and Rotate

Based on the available Dew, you can switch back to Columbina to use her special Charged Attack “Moondew Cleanse” for substantial Dendro AoE DMG. Once the Domain and Ripple durations end, repeat the rotation.
