Who is Zibai?

Zibai is a 5-star Geo Sword main DPS, whose Ascension stat increases CRIT DMG. Her primary damage pattern revolves around using her Elemental Skill to enter the “Lunar Phase Shift” state, accumulating “Phase Shift Radiance” (a special resource for her enhanced Skill), and then unleashing the enhanced Skill “Spirit Steed’s Stride” as her core means of dealing damage. At Constellation 1, she can immediately use the enhanced Skill upon activation. Constellation 2 provides a DEF boost, Constellation 4 offers a minor numerical increase, and Constellation 6 enhances the generation rate of her enhanced Skill resource while granting an additional independent damage multiplier.

How to use Zibai Effectively?

1. Set Up with Teammates

Start by using your Hydro and Geo support characters to apply Hydro to enemies and provide team buffs (such as DEF or Elemental Mastery). This setup is crucial for consistently triggering Lunar-Crystallize reactions.

2. Switch to Zibai, Activate Core Skills

Switch to Zibai. Use her Elemental Burst (Q) first to deal immediate Geo DMG and apply the Lunar-Crystallize effect. Then, immediately use her Elemental Skill (E) to enter the “Lunar Phase Shift” state. This converts her Normal and Charged Attacks to Geo DMG and allows her to start accumulating Phase Shift Radiance.

3. On-Field Rotation, Trigger Reactions

Remain on Zibai. Perform your Normal and Charged Attack combos. Her 4th Normal Attack hit and the special enhanced Skill “Spirit Steed’s Stride” (consuming Phase Shift Radiance) will deal significant Lunar-Crystallize Reaction DMG. Weave in the enhanced Skill whenever enough Phase Shift Radiance is available.

4. Weave in Burst and Rotate

Once her Elemental Burst is ready again, use it within the “Lunar Phase Shift” state for additional damage. When the state ends or buffs expire, switch back to your supports to re-apply Hydro and refresh buffs, then restart the rotation from step 2.

Talent Leveling Priority

Based on the analysis above, we conclude for Zibai’s talent leveling priority:

Elemental Skill (E) ＞ Elemental Burst (Q) ＞ Normal Attack (A)

Constellation Investment Breakdown

• C0: Fully functional main DPS with a clear rotation and high floor damage.
• C1: Quality-of-life upgrade—immediate access to enhanced Skill, smoothing the early rotation.
• C2: Significant DEF boost, directly raising her base damage and Lunar-Crystallize scaling.
• C6: Massive power spike—faster Radiance generation + an independent damage multiplier, pushing her into top-tier DPS territory.

Pull Priority: C0 → C1 → C2 → C6 (C1 is the most impactful for comfort and consistency).

Best Weapons For Zibai

Rank	Weapon	Base ATK (R1)	Sub- stat	Why it Excels
5-Star	Lightbearing Moonshard	542	CRIT DMG: 88.2%	This weapon is Zibai’s ultimate choice, offering a perfectly timed DEF boost and Lunar-Crystallize DMG bonus that synergizes with her entire damage rotation.
5-Star	Uraku Misugiri	542	CRIT DMG: 66.2%	Uraku Misugiri serves as a top-tier 5-star selection for Zibai, delivering 88.2% CRIT DMG, a 24% boost to Elemental Skill DMG, and a 20% DEF increase. This combination of attributes makes it a highly effective choice for any main DPS whose damage scales with DEF.
4-Star	Cinnabar Spindle	454	DEF: 69.0%	Cinnabar Spindle stands out as an exceptional 4-star choice for Zibai, delivering a substantial DEF stat boost. Its secondary effect further converts a portion of that DEF into Elemental Skill damage, solidifying its position as an outstanding weapon for any DPS character reliant on DEF scaling.
5-Star	Peak Patrol Song	542	DEF: 82.7%	This weapon pairs extremely well with Zibai. Its buffs trigger easily via her Normal Attacks, boosting DEF and Elemental DMG. It also provides team-wide Elemental DMG based on her DEF, fully covering her damage window.

Best Artifacts & Stat Priorities

While Zibai does not have a dedicated Artifact set like Columbina, the “Night of the Sky’s Unveiling” set is considered her best-in-slot option due to its well-aligned stats and effects.

	2-Pc: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.4-Pc: When nearby party members trigger Lunar Reactions, if the equipping character is on the field, gain the Gleaming Moon: Intent effect for 4s: Increases CRIT Rate by 15%/30% when the party’s Moonsign is Nascent Gleam/Ascendant Gleam. All party members’ Lunar Reaction DMG is increased by 10% for each different Gleaming Moon effect that party members have. Effects from Gleaming Moon cannot stack.
Main Stat	Sub-Stat
Sands: DEF / EM Goblet: DEF Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG	CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG > EM > DEF / Energy Recharge%

Stat Thresholds for Zibai

• DEF ≥ 2000: Mandatory to unlock Lunar-Crystallize’s base DMG bonus.
• Crit Rate: 50–60% (with substats; reach 70–75% with buffs).
• Crit DMG: 180–220% (prioritize after DEF and Crit Rate).
• EM: 150–200 (for reaction DMG; do not overinvest at the cost of DEF).
• ER: 110–130% (to keep Burst consistent)

It is important to note that among these stats, Zibai’s DEF should be prioritized to reach at least 2000 before focusing on other attributes. This threshold is crucial to maximize the Base DMG bonus from the Lunar-Crystallize reaction.

Best Zibai Team Compositions

In Zibai’s team composition, Columbina is an absolute must-have, with no equal substitute. She comprehensively elevates the team’s damage by enabling Zibai to benefit from her own talents, boosting the buffs from Hydro and Geo teammates, applying off-field Hydro with her Skill to trigger Lunar-Crystallize reactions, increasing Lunar Reaction DMG with her Burst, and raising the frequency of Moonveil Attacks.

Lunar-Crystallize Offensive Team	Zibai	Zhongli	Columbina	Illuga
Lunar-Crystallize Survival Team	Zibai	Illuga	Columbina	Gorou

Final Pull & Investment Advice

Zibai is a must-pull for players invested in Geo or Lunar-Crystallize teams. She is fully viable at C0 and becomes exponentially stronger with C1 and C2. Since Columbina is irreplaceable in her core team, plan to pull both characters for maximum value.

Conclusion

Are you tempted, Travelers? First, it’s crucial to understand that pulling for Zibai practically requires already having Columbina, as without the “Maiden,” Zibai loses a key source of Lunar Reaction enhancement, resulting in significantly lower damage output.
